The Mitsubishi ASX is offered with a sophisticated four wheel drive* (4WD) technology that distributes torque from the front axle to the rear axle if you begin to slide, giving you the most possible grip. In order to maintain stability, Active Stability Control then distributes torque and braking force to the left or right wheels, improving cornering and handling come rain or shine.

The Mitsubishi ASX is off-road capable.
The Active Sports Crossover, or ASX, is the name Mitsubishi gave to its newest off-road vehicle after rearranging the letters.
At August, the newest member of the Mitsubishi crew will be available in nearby showrooms.
It will compete in the very competitive sub-$30,000 compact off-roader market alongside the Kia Sportage, Hyundai ix35, Holden Captiva 5, Suzuki Grand Vitara, and Nissan Dualis.
Masahiko Takahashi, president and CEO of Mitsubishi Australia Ltd, said it will be marketed as a maneuverable city car that can attract new customers to the Mitsubishi brand.
Additionally, he adds, “it has the advantage of being highly intelligent, particularly in terms of the technology that underpins its engineering, design, and all-wheel drive capability.”
At the 2007 Frankfurt Motor Show, the cX idea gave birth to the ASX.
The finished vehicle shares similarities with both the Lancer Evolution X and the Outlander and has a front end that has a “family” appearance.
It is 200g lighter and 345mm smaller in size than the Outlander.
The concept car’s two-piece doors are replaced by a single-piece hatch in the real model.
A 1.8 or 2.0 liter four cylinder petrol engine powers the Japanese models.
Front- or all-wheel drive models, as well as gasoline and diesel engines, are anticipated, though local specifications have not yet been made public.
According to Takahashi, the ASX, as an entry-level off-road vehicle, has the potential to generate significant sales to support the Triton, Outlander, and Pajero.
It will be marketed to the lucrative and rapidly expanding compact off-roader market.
Sales of off-roaders are up 35% this year as consumers switch from family sedans to lifestyle vehicles.
Smaller, more compact off-road vehicles are in demand worldwide, he claims.
We predict that Australia will soon catch on to this trend as well.
The new Mitsubishi CEO says the company is also considering introducing a front-drive version of the larger Outlander later this year due to the increased popularity of front-wheel drive crossovers.
It’s being thought about, he says.
- Diesel’s efficient and powerful range
- frugal family vehicle
- enough equipment as standard
- pleasant and elegant ride
- Lack of support for backrests
- Need to raise the passenger seat
- no automatic diesel variant
- You can’t stand indicator noise.
