Hyundai Grand i10 1.0 L AT (2015) vs Mitsubishi Mirage G4 GLX 1.2L MT (2015)

Hyundai Grand i10 1.0 L AT (2015) vs Mitsubishi Mirage G4 GLX 1.2L MT (2015): which should you buy?

Both the 2015 Hyundai Grand i10 1.0 L AT and the 2015 Mitsubishi Mirage G4 GLX 1.2L MT are budget‑friendly, sub‑compact options for Filipino city drivers, but they serve slightly different needs. The Grand i10 is a hatchback with five doors, a shorter overall length (3765 mm) and a 4‑speed automatic, making it easier to manoeuvre in tight Manila traffic and more convenient for rear‑seat access. Its 66 PS output and 94 Nm torque are modest, but the unlimited/5‑year warranty (effectively unlimited mileage) adds peace of mind, albeit the model is discontinued, so parts may be harder to find. Priced at ₱658,000, it is marginally cheaper. The Mirage G4, on the other hand, is a four‑door sedan with a larger 1193 cc engine delivering 78 PS and 100 Nm, giving a noticeable bump in power and torque for highway merges. It comes with a 5‑speed manual, a 100,000 km/5‑year warranty, and is still in production, ensuring better parts availability. At ₱666,000 it costs slightly more but offers more power and a conventional sedan boot. Choose the Grand i10 if you value automatic convenience, tighter dimensions and the longest warranty, and you don’t mind a discontinued model. Opt for the Mirage G4 if you need extra power, a sedan’s cargo space, and prefer a current model with assured parts support.
