Talking about Mitsubishi’s small ASX SUV today – the ASX has been around for a
long time – first surfacing in 2010 but updated visually three times since. Sharply
priced it remains our fourth best-selling small SUV, strongly recognised for its
value story and a 10-year warranty. A roomy small SUV in seven front wheel
drive grades from $24,490 plus on-road costs for the entry manual GS – I drove
the next grade up, the ES automatic, the best seller and frankly the one to own at
$27,990. A 2.0-litre four-cylinder driving through a CVT or continuously variable
automatic. This year the ES gained lane departure warning for the first time, but it
lacks rear cross traffic alert and autonomous emergency braking. Features
include a rear-view camera, climate control aircon, rear parking sensors, rain
sensing wipers and air-con ducts to the rear seats. The Mitsubishi ASX ES
competes in a super competitive small SUV segment – not the latest design but
this trusty small SUV with great interior room has been kept competitive with
small tweaks along the way. For a small family in today’s cost-conscious world, it
has one outstanding feature – an industry leading 10-year/200,000 km warranty if
you keep it serviced by a Mitsubishi dealer. Drive details next segment. I’m David
Berthon
