In a bid to stay competitive in the ever-evolving crossover market, Mitsubishi Motors Europe has unveiled the updated version of its ASX model, aligning its features with the contemporary 2024 Renault Captur. This move marks a strategic step forward for Mitsubishi, aiming to cater to drivers who value advanced technology, connectivity, and modern design.
Dynamic Design Identity
One of the most noticeable changes in the new ASX is its exterior design. Embracing Mitsubishi's signature "Dynamic Shield" front face, the vehicle exudes a robust and dynamic appearance, characteristic of SUVs. The updated model incorporates sleeker headlights and a larger front grille, now finished with a gloss black touch, presenting a more imposing presence on the road.
Connectivity and Digitalization
Mitsubishi has placed a significant emphasis on connectivity and digitalization in the new ASX. With Google built-in, drivers have access to a suite of built-in apps and services, including Google Assistant and Google Maps. This integration allows for seamless navigation, media streaming, and hands-free assistance, enhancing the overall driving experience.
Additionally, the introduction of the My Mitsubishi Motors app provides users with real-time information and control over various vehicle functionalities directly from their mobile phones. This level of connectivity not only improves convenience but also establishes a stronger bond between drivers and their vehicles.
Advanced Powertrains
1.0-litre Turbocharged Gasoline Engine
At the heart of the ASX lies the 1.0-litre turbocharged gasoline engine, a marvel of engineering designed to deliver a blend of power and efficiency. Equipped with three cylinders, this compact yet potent engine churns out 67kW of power and 160Nm of torque, providing ample performance for any driving scenario. What sets this engine apart is its remarkable efficiency, sipping just 5.7 litres of fuel per 100 kilometers while emitting a mere 130g/km of CO2. Whether navigating city streets or cruising down the highway, the 1.0-litre MPI-T engine ensures a smooth and exhilarating ride while keeping emissions in check.
1.3-litre Direct-Injection Turbocharged Gasoline/Mild Hybrid
For drivers seeking a perfect balance between power and efficiency, the 1.3-litre DI-T engine with a mild hybrid system offers an enticing option. This innovative powertrain combines a turbocharged gasoline engine with a belt-driven starter generator and a 12V Lithium-ion battery, allowing for energy recovery during deceleration and braking. With two transmission options – a six-speed manual or a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic – drivers can tailor their driving experience to suit their preferences. Producing either 103kW/260Nm or 116kW/270Nm of power and torque, depending on the chosen gearbox, this engine delivers spirited performance while maintaining impressive fuel efficiency. Emitting just 130g/km or 132g/km of CO2 and consuming 5.7 or 5.8 litres of fuel per 100 kilometers respectively, the 1.3-litre DI-T engine strikes a fine balance between power and environmental responsibility.
1.6-litre Hybrid (HEV)
For those prioritizing efficiency and lower emissions, the 1.6-litre hybrid powertrain offers an ideal solution. Combining a gasoline engine with two electric motors and an automatic, multi-mode gearbox, this full hybrid system delivers responsive performance with exceptional fuel economy. With a total range of 900 kilometers and the ability to drive up to 80% electrically in the city, the 1.6-litre hybrid engine offers a compelling option for eco-conscious drivers. Emitting just 104g/km of CO2 and achieving a fuel efficiency of 4.6 litres per 100 kilometers, this powertrain sets a new standard for environmentally friendly driving.
Safety and Assurance
Safety remains a top priority for Mitsubishi, as evident in the comprehensive suite of passive and active safety features integrated into the new ASX. From forward collision mitigation to lane-keeping assist and adaptive cruise control, the vehicle is equipped with technologies designed to enhance driver confidence and mitigate potential risks on the road.
Moreover, Mitsubishi's commitment to customer satisfaction is reflected in the generous warranty packages accompanying the new ASX. With an 8-year warranty option available on select versions, buyers can enjoy peace of mind knowing that their investment is protected for years to come.
