Mitsubishi used the 2013 Montreal Auto Show to debut its all-new subcompact car, which doesn't have a North American name yet (Mirage in other parts of the globe) but will go on sale in the fall.

This friendly-looking, five-door hatchback is based on the Global Small concept car unveiled by Mitsubishi Motor Sales of Canada president and CEO Shin Fujioka a year ago. It will become the fifth model in the automaker's Canadian lineup.

The car is 3,780 mm long and 1,665 mm wide, with a 1.2L three-cylinder MIVEC engine under the hood. A five-speed manual transmission or an optional CVT handles its 74 horsepower and 74 lb-ft of torque.

Talking about an ''ultra-efficient vehicle,'' Mitsubishi expects the new car's fuel economy to be among the best for gasoline-powered models in Canada.

Pricing will be announced closer to the sale date, but look for an MSRP in the low $10K range.
