Mitsubishi Mirage V (CJ0) gallery (1995–2003)
The Mirage V (CJ0) vehicle generation was manufactured by Mitsubishi Motors from 1995 to 2003 and offered in hatchback, sedan, coupe body configurations.
The fifth-generation Mitsubishi Mirage (CJ0/CK0) arrived in 1995 with RISE safety body construction. Engineering of the Mirage V (CJ0) (factory code CJ0) emphasized high structural rigidity, aerodynamic efficiency, and optimized interior spatial packaging. Built with reinforced body structures utilizing high-tensile steel alloys, the platform delivered reduced curb weight alongside improved occupant crash protection. The vehicle was distributed globally in multiple configuration packages designed to satisfy diverse market demands and regional regulatory specifications.
