2017 Mitsubishi ASX Review: Specifications and Features of the Crossover SUV
The Mitsubishi ASX has been part of the Japanese automaker Mitsubishi's lineup since the 1990s. Over the years, the company revamped the design of the ASX in 2010, making it significantly different from its predecessors and ready to compete aggressively against rivals such as:
Main Features
- Engine: 2.0 liters / 4 cylinders
- Transmission: CVT
- Power: 150 horsepower / 197 Nm of torque
- Top Speed: 190 km/h
- Price: AED 78,900
Exterior Design
Currently in its third generation, the Mitsubishi ASX targets those seeking a spacious and practical vehicle at an affordable price. The redesigned model features sleeker headlights, a wider front grille, and a careful use of chrome that gives it a commanding appearance.
It comes equipped with 17-inch wheels and Yokohama 215/60 tires, fitting well with the overall height of the crossover. However, it lacks daytime running LED lights and is instead outfitted with halogen lamps.
Interior Design
The interior showcases a robust design featuring hard plastics, with a glossy black finish and silver trimming. The monotony of plastic is broken up with fabric inserts on the door panels and rubberized materials on the buttons.
Technological Features and Safety
The Mitsubishi ASX struggles to keep pace with its contemporary rivals in terms of technology, offering cruise control, Bluetooth connectivity, and a rearview camera.
Verdict
The Mitsubishi ASX is the most affordable option among its Japanese competitors, making it an ideal choice for urban driving. While it may lag behind in technological features, it is priced AED 24,100 less than its competitor, the Nissan X-Trail.
Pros
- Impressive power with great traction
- Affordable pricing
Cons
- Smallest trunk space among its competitors
- Not as fuel-efficient as expected
