The Mitsubishi VRG, produced from 2001 to 2003, was a compact car designed for the Japanese domestic market. While not as well-known globally as other Mitsubishi models like the Lancer or Galant, the VRG represented a significant step forward in the company's commitment to fuel efficiency and advanced technology. It was built on a new platform, codenamed "PS," which emphasized lightweight construction and aerodynamic design. This resulted in a car that was both nimble and fuel-efficient. The VRG was available with a range of engine options, including a 1.3-liter and a 1.5-liter gasoline engine, as well as a 1.5-liter diesel engine. The 1.5-liter gasoline engine was particularly noteworthy for its use of Mitsubishi's MIVEC variable valve timing system, which improved both performance and fuel economy.

Inside, the VRG prioritized practicality and comfort. The spacious cabin provided ample room for passengers and cargo, while the interior design emphasized user-friendliness with easy-to-use controls. The VRG was also well-equipped for its time, featuring standard amenities like power steering, air conditioning, and an AM/FM radio. Despite its focus on affordability, the VRG incorporated a number of safety features, including front and rear crumple zones, driver and passenger airbags, and anti-lock brakes. While the VRG was a successful model in Japan, it was never sold in many export markets, limiting its global recognition. The Mitsubishi VRG stood as a testament to the company's commitment to producing innovative and efficient vehicles.
