New Mitsubishi ACX 2019 model year is available to Russian customers now. After some absence of Mitsubishi ASX on Russian market the car appeared in a slightly modified format. True, the lack of domestic assembly makes the cost of the machine somewhat overpriced. Especially against the background of competitors that are produced in Russia.
Initially, the ACX was brought to the Russian market from the USA, but this was possible at a dollar exchange rate of 30. But today the American production is closed and the model comes to our dealers from the Japanese plant in Okazaki. Today, Mitsubishi probably regrets that at one time they did not organize the assembly of a crossover in Russia. But this train left, but the more far-sighted automakers understood everything in time and today they are reaping the fruits of foresight in the growing car market.
Appearance of ACX 2019 model year experienced minor changes. In general, the model has not seriously changed for a long time. Significant restyling was carried out in 2012, 2015. After the latest upgrade, the Japanese crossover received its X-face with chrome inserts, a different grille and a new bumper with LED optics. At the rear, a bumper appeared, stylized as an aggressively sporty look with an additional strip of LED brake light and reflectors in the form of “[” and “]”. The Japanese have refreshed the design without much investment. Among other things, there appeared wheel disks original design. In the maximum configuration, these are small present times 17 inch wheels.

Salon Mitsubishi ASX immediately brings us back to the history of creation this vehicle. Quite a lot of familiar elements, but some that appeared only now. In particular, a completely new lining of the central tunnel with a different arrangement of buttons and cup holders. But the advanced multimedia Mitsubishi Connect with a seven-inch display and Apple CarPlay and Android Auto functions has not yet reached us. In top trim levels, a glossy black panel in the center console, a large armrest and transmission control paddles. Dealers insistently explain that you are overpaying for a real Japanese assembly, but the outdated interior clearly deters buyers. It is rather strange when cheap fabric chairs are more comfortable and have excellent lateral support, while leather chairs cannot boast of such.

The luggage compartment holds a little. Which is not surprising, given the compactness of the body. The official website tells us that a full-size spare is available. But in fact, on some versions under the trunk floor you will find only a modest dokatka.

Specifications Mitsubishi ACX 2019
In Europe, the main power unit is diesel engine, in the USA 2.4 liter aspirated. In our country, they offer only two versions of gasoline engines 1.6 and 2.0 liter units with a capacity of 117 and 150 Horse power.
As for the transmission, it is a 5-speed manual or stepless CVT variator. The drive is either front or full All-Wheel Control with rear wheels connected. The manufacturer is not going to carry out any serious technical achievements. After all, ASX is at the last stage of its life. And investing in an outgoing model is pretty stupid.
The steering has an electric booster. Fully independent MacPherson strut suspension at the front, multi-link at the rear. Disc brakes on all 4 wheels, while all 4 discs are ventilated.
Another update that has not yet reached us is the availability of advanced electronic assistants. Such as adaptive cruise control, collision avoidance systems and lane control, automatic switching high beam, rear view camera and improved sound insulation. The Russian specification can only please

A small crossover Mitsubishi ASX was introduced to the European market in 2010 at the Geneva exhibition. Since then, the model has undergone minor external changes. However, the general profile, similar to the Lancer X (on its basis, the car was developed) has been preserved. At the same time, the big brother Outlander completely changed.
For sales in the Russian segment, the car is assembled at factories in Japan. It is this feature that ensures excellent quality and safety. If we talk about technical characteristics, then for Russia the model is supplied in three variations of the gasoline engine: 1.6; 1.8; 2 liters. In the European market, you can find a diesel engine.
The driver should be pleased with the big 20cm clearance between hull and road. The claimed ground clearance of the Mitsubishi ACX is 195 mm. Both all-wheel drive and front-wheel drive modifications are produced. It should be noted that all-wheel drive is available only in the maximum engine configuration.
Externally, the car is very similar to another model of the company - Lancer X, especially when viewed from the front. The developers of the car took a lot of ideas and features from the sedan. The first thing that immediately becomes noticeable is the large trapezoid-shaped radiator grille.
Attention! Recently, a restyled version was released, which added daytime LED lights.

- Ground clearance Mitsubishi ASX - 195 mm.
Mitsubishi ACX built on the basis independent suspension McFerson front and a multi-link system with stabilizers of transverse mechanisms. The car uses ventilated disc brakes on both wheels. Also, in some trim levels, emergency braking mechanisms and other additions are available.
Verification of the declared characteristics
Such information is useful to people who choose Mitsubishi ACX for themselves. For some, the issue of clearance is very important, a small clearance will not always be able to provide the proper level of operation. In the documentation for the ACX, a figure of 195 mm is stated. However, detailed and accurate information is nowhere to be found.
All measurements will be taken using a regular tape measure. First, it is worth specifying the characteristics of the tested model. Installed 1.6 liter engine with manual transmission, front-wheel drive. The car is fitted with Falcen winter tires. Factory rims are 16 inches. In the trunk is a spare wheel and a standard set of tools. There were no changes or modifications to the body. In fact, this is a Mitsubishi ACX in the basic configuration. Tire pressure measured - 2.2 atmospheres. Dimensions are made on a flat concrete road.
The measurements were taken in an unusual way. The master used a tape measure, measuring while lying on his side. This may lead to small errors. Measurement in the front showed a clearance of 200 mm.
Next, let's move to the back of the Mitsubishi ACX, there is an exhaust pipe. It does not stick out as much as it might seem at first glance. We measure the distance under the pipe and get the 195 mm promised by the manufacturer. The exhaust diameter was measured on the bends in the places where the “ear” was fixed. Its diameter is 53 mm, and then the pipe gradually increases to 60 mm. The size of the exhaust outlet relative to the rest of the body is approximately 15 millimeters.
One of the most painful places in most cars are thresholds and corrugations. It is they who often catch high speed bumps. To eliminate problems, measurements were made under the thresholds of the driver's seat. There was plenty of room for various maneuvers. Ground clearance Mitsubishi ASX is fully consistent with the declared characteristics. As a result, it turns out that the clearance throughout the body is even greater than specified. The only exception is a small protrusion from the pipe. However, it does not fall below the declared 195 mm.
The Mitsubishi ASX crossover is a slightly belated “three diamonds” response to the supersonic growth in demand for compact all-wheel drive wagons with “ off-road appearance". The main features of cars of this class are the price of a top-end configuration, equal to the base price for “ordinary crossovers”; the presence of front-wheel drive versions, as well as compact dimensions. ASX has all this in abundance.
Prices for the most compact Mitsubishi crossover start at 729,000 rubles for a front-wheel drive car with 1.6- liter engine and "mechanics" (with such a motor, other transmissions and drive systems are not provided). Standard equipment has a minimum set of benefits: front airbags for driver and passenger, ABS with EBD, air conditioning, electric windows and mirrors, heated seats, CD-radio with MP3, adjustable steering column (height and reach), 16-inch steel wheels with full size spare. For a compact car, the equipment is not bad, but for a crossover for 700+ thousand this will not be enough.
The price of a Mitsubishi ASX in a test configuration, generously enriched with basic options, is close to the base price of crossovers - 929,000 rubles.
An automatic transmission (variator) is available with 1.8- and 2.0-liter engines, and there is no alternative. Moreover, with a top-end engine, only all-wheel drive is offered at a minimum price of 1,039,000 rubles. Most likely, customers will be most interested in more affordable front-wheel drive cars with "mechanics" and "automatic" due to more balanced versions in terms of price and content. That is why we chose for the test a 1.8-liter CVT-powered crossover in the Intense S10 version (for 929,000 rubles). This version differs from cheaper ones with directional stability and traction assistance systems, side airbags and curtains, as well as a knee airbag for the driver, alloy wheels R16, info display, leather-wrapped steering wheel and automatic transmission selector knob.
The ASX wheelbase is the same as that of the platform donor - Outlander - 2,670 mm.
The interior of the ASX is unpretentious, almost one-on-one copying the Outlander, on the basis of which it was made. The same steering wheel, the on-board computer screen between the speedometer and tachometer, the center console with the radio and “circles” - air conditioner handles, the seats ... But the steering column is now adjustable not only in tilt angle, but also in reach - it’s much easier to sit comfortably. (True, I would like to see a larger flight - two centimeters). rear passengers there is enough space in the area of the knees and feet, and only tall passengers in the rear row will find the roof too close ...
In motion, the Mitsubishi crossover is a rather contradictory nature: it did not particularly inspire on the pavement, but it fully opened up where the even surface ended. First, even off-road, the ASX was pleasant in terms of comfort. The suspension here is the same as on the Outlander, but the AESX is not as stiff as its older relative, and thanks to the lower mass, it seems that the energy intensity of the shock absorbers has become higher.
Ground clearance Mitsubishi ASX - the envy of real SUVs: 215 mm!
The ground clearance of the crossover is truly off-road. With such characteristics, even in a front-wheel drive car, it’s not scary to drive out onto the ground, torn as if by shelling. But to my surprise, even the 2WD ASX handled hanging one drive wheel uphill. We specifically tried to overcome a large pit, passing through which rear wheels, the front right simply had to get off the ground. But thanks to the stability control system, which redistributed the moment to the wheel with the best grip, the ASX slowly and sadly overcame the obstacle!
And on the track, a 1.8-liter engine and a CVT are not an ideal tandem. Fast driving and dynamic acceleration require the choice of increased speed, respectively - the maximum sound pressure for the driver and passengers. And if the vibration isolation of the cabin is at a height, then excess noise gets inside in excess. If the smoothness of the car is a positive quality, then sluggish and unhurried accelerations make you look at other options for the engine and box. ASX with 1.8 engine and CVT accelerates to 100 km/h in 13.1 seconds. A car with a two-liter engine and a CVT - in 11.9, and the minimum volume of 1.6 with "mechanics" does it in just 11.7 seconds.
Exterior design, interior design
In a car like Mitsubishi ASX technical characteristics deserve special attention, but for a general idea, let's first look at its design and look into the interior. The main thing worth noting is the completely new color palette of 8 colors for Mitsubishi.
For this model, the company has specially developed an exclusive color - turquoise blue (Kawasemi Blue).
The lower part of the bumpers and sills are not painted in the color of the body, which creates an additional longitudinal line and indicates the sporty style of the car. Mitsubishi ASX developers took the Outlander XL platform as a basis, while maintaining a wheelbase width of 2670 mm, which is very surprising for such a compact crossover. The Outlander also inherited the suspension, but given the ASX's much lighter weight, the ride stiffness was greatly reduced.
The ASX uses a completely new front optics with xenon lamps, the illumination angle of which is 160 degrees. The rear lights are originally lined up in a horizontal line. Large rear-view mirrors, which are equipped with additional turn signals, fit very organically into the overall image. Applied 17-inch cast aluminum wheels visually increase the crossover. It is also worth noting the rather large trunk volume of the Mitsubishi ASX, which is 415 liters. In addition, it has a subwoofer and a full-size spare wheel, specially used in ASX modifications supplied to the Russian market. The dimensions of the loading opening are quite large, while the optimal lifting angle of the rear door does not reduce them at all.
In the Mitsubishi ASX cabin, the dashboard attracts special attention, in particular, the seven-inch navigator display, which displays the main control functions and broadcasts the image from the rear view camera. In addition, it is equipped with a fairly bright and at the same time soft backlight.
The interior of the Mitsubishi ASX is very spacious, which allowed it to accommodate fairly wide seats, while leaving a wide space between them. Also, the salon is decorated with a panoramic transparent roof, which is closed with an electric shutter. Comfortable temperature in the cabin is supported by climate control with intuitive controls.
Unlike other cars previously manufactured by Mitsubishi, the steering wheel in the ASX is adjustable not only in terms of tilt, but also in reach, which makes it possible to build the position of the steering wheel and seat for any driver.
Engine variations, transmission
View in Mitsubishi ASX specifications Let's start with a review of the powertrains of the crossover. A front-wheel drive crossover modification is available with a 1.6-liter engine capable of developing 117 horsepower. Such an engine is equipped only with a manual transmission. Complete set of a car with such a motor will be the most affordable. Also for front wheel drive an engine is available, the volume of which is 1.8 liters, and the maximum developed power is 140 horsepower. Such a unit is equipped with a continuously variable transmission, which is also characteristic of the most powerful version of the Mitsubishi ASX, namely, equipped with a 2.0-liter engine capable of developing 150 horsepower. This modification is equipped, of course, with all-wheel drive.
Diesel Mitsubishi model ASX is not supplied to Russia, therefore all power units available in our country are gasoline.
Mitsubishi ASX has a sufficient number of active and passive safety, which characterizes it as a high-class car. So, in ASX - as many as seven airbags, including a small pillow for the driver's knees. In addition, the machine is equipped with emergency braking assistance and a driver assistance system when starting on a steep slope. Also, the braking system is equipped with an anti-lock wheel system, an electronic distribution system braking force and regenerative braking system. In addition, the car is equipped with a system of course stability, which is developed according to the algorithm patented by the company.
most affordable Mitsubishi modification ASX is a complete set with a 1.6-liter engine "Inform", the price of which starts from 750,000 rubles. For an ASX with a 1.8-liter engine of the “Invite” configuration, you will need to pay from 930,000 rubles. Well, the most affordable Mitsubishi ASX with all-wheel drive, a volume of 2.0 liters and the “Intense” configuration is sold at a price of 1 million 90 thousand rubles.
Specifications of the updated Mitsubishi ASX
A little about the exterior and interior design
Not so long ago it became known about the implementation of a minor restyling Mitsubishi ASX, as a result of which the crossover received a new finish of some interior elements, as well as minor improvements to the exterior design.
In general, the ASX abbreviation in its full form sounds like Active Sport X-over, translated into Russian - “crossover for active driving”. Thus, the creator expressed the basic concept that the developers were guided by when creating the car.
Following such a landmark can be traced already in the external design of the car. The new Mitsubishi ASX is dynamic and modern, and in some elements it looks like a complete powerful SUV designed for real off-road driving.
The changes primarily affect the bumpers, with the most noticeable change being the front bumper, which now looks more solid thanks to the removal of a large lower contrast insert and an updated fit. fog lights. The radiator grille pattern has also undergone some transformations. In addition, a large number of chrome parts appeared in the appearance, which added elegance and style to the crossover.
Concerning interior design interior, there are much less changes. The salon is also a five-seater, elements are also located on dashboard. Well, the most significant changes are the new wheel, the use of more expensive and high-quality materials in the decoration of chairs. Just like in appearance, a lot of chrome inserts appeared on the inside, which are located on the door panels. In addition, the new ASX is equipped with an updated audio system and a new navigation device. Overall interior of Mitsubishi ASX new model range retained the excellent ergonomics and high level of comfort inherent in the previous generation.
Engine, transmission and fuel costs
In our country, the new generation Mitsubishi ASX crossover, as before, is offered exclusively with gasoline engines, while versions with a diesel engine are also available in Europe and the USA.
Diesel power unit it was decided not to deliver to Russia and the CIS countries due to poor quality diesel fuel, which in a very short time can render the engine unusable.
However, the ruler gasoline engines ASX is quite extensive and includes three motors that can satisfy the needs of any buyer:
1. Four-cylinder engine, designed back in 2004, but has undergone some changes since then. Such a unit was designed on the basis of an all-aluminum block and equipped with a distributed injection system. It is also characterized by a chain drive with two camshafts. Main characteristics this engine the following:
- A working volume of 1.6 liters, allowing you to develop power up to 117 hp. at 6100 rpm;
- The peak torque of such a motor is 154 Nm at 4000 rpm, which accelerates the car to 183 km / h, and also allows you to accelerate to 100 km / h in 11.4 seconds;
- Compliance with the requirements of European standards, which contributes to its efficiency. Thus, the average fuel consumption in the urban cycle is close to 7.8 liters, outside the city, fuel costs are reduced to 5.0 liters, and in the combined cycle, the car consumes about 6.1 liters of fuel.
2. Four-cylinder power unit made of aluminum and equipped with a multipoint injection system, camshafts and electronic system variable valve timing. Main performance indicators:
- A working volume of 1.8 liters, capable of developing a maximum power of 140 hp. at 6000 rpm;
- The maximum torque is 177 Nm at 4200 rpm, helping the Mitsubishi ASX reach a top speed of 186 km/h and accelerate to 100 km/h in 13.1 seconds;
- Compliance with environmental standards with gasoline consumption in the city of about 9.8 liters. Outside the city, consumption drops to 6.4 liters of fuel, and in mixed driving mode, fuel consumption will be approximately 7.6 liters.
3. Well, and finally, the main gasoline engine for Mitsubishi ASX is the engine, the working volume of four cylinders of which is increased to 2.0 liters. This unit has the following main features:
- power of 150 hp at 6000 rpm;
- maximum torque is 197 Nm at 4200 rpm;
- ability to accelerate to top speed 188 km / h, and up to a speed of 100 km / h, acceleration is carried out in 11.9 seconds;
- due to the fact that such a motor is installed for ASX modifications with all-wheel drive, it is not economical. So, 6.8 liters will be fuel consumption on the highway, 10.5 liters in urban driving mode and 8.1 liters in the combined cycle.
The junior power unit is equipped with a five-speed manual gearbox. And the other two motors are equipped with stepless automatic transmission. Automatic all-wheel drive only versions with a 2.0-liter engine are equipped. The rest of the engines are equipped with front-wheel drive modifications.
Safety, equipment and prices
In the new Mitsubishi ASX, some suspension characteristics have been improved, the quality of which is close to the level of the Outlander, which contributed to the improvement driving performance crossover. Also, the car was equipped with stiffer front arms and new shock absorbers, subjected to additional settings. MacPherson struts and stabilizer are used in front roll stability, while the rear uses a multi-link suspension system. In addition, all wheels are equipped with ventilated braking system with discs with a diameter of 16 inches.
The steering wheel is equipped with a rack and pinion mechanism, which is complemented by a modern electric power steering. In a Mitsubishi car ACX technical characteristics - the clearance in particular, declared in the amount of 195 mm, is fully true. As the test drives of the car show, this is exactly the distance to the ground from the lowest elements of the car. Moreover, in many places ground clearance reaches 200 mm.
The updated Mitsubishi ASX is offered on the Russian market in a very wide range of trim levels:
- Models with a junior engine can have three types of equipment: "Inform", which will cost 729,000 rubles, "Invite" worth 759,990 rubles and "Intense" for 809,990 rubles.
- The 1.8-liter engine is equipped with the Invite, Intense and Instyle trim levels. The price in this case will be from 829,990 to 949,990 rubles.
- The 2.0-liter engine provides even more configuration options, to those listed above, "Ultimate" and "Exclusive" are added here. At the same time, the price of the crossover, of course, increases and will be about 959,990 rubles, and 1,229,000 rubles will have to be paid for the maximum exclusive equipment.
However, the indicated prices are valid only for car models painted in basic white. The choice of any other color provides for an additional payment of 11,000 rubles.
So, under the hood of a front-wheel drive crossover, either a 1.6-liter 117-horsepower engine with a manual gearbox (the most affordable car equipment) or a 1.8-liter engine with 140 hp can be hidden. with stepless variator. The most powerful modification of the car, equipped with a 2.0-liter 150-horsepower engine and all-wheel drive, is also equipped with a CVT. The ACX uses a fundamentally new front optics with xenon lamps, which provide the maximum illumination angle of 160 degrees today and have no analogues in the world. In the interior of a new car, the dashboard immediately attracts attention. The seven-inch display of the navigator, which displays all the basic information and the image from the rear view camera, has a very pleasant, soft backlight. The seats in the car are wide, the space between them is large. The roof of the cabin is transparent, panoramic, closed with an electric shutter. The desired temperature in the cabin is provided by climate control with intuitive controls and the Hands Free Bluetooth function. Steering column the car is adjustable not only for tilt, but also for reach. This is the first car of this brand on the Russian market, offering this. The trunk volume of the Mitsubishi ASX is impressive - 415 liters. And this despite the fact that it contains a subwoofer and a full-size spare wheel, specially supplied in the performance of a car "for Russian roads." Active and passive safety systems are available in sufficient quantities for a car of a higher price class. There are even such curiosities as an emergency brake assist system and a system that helps the driver pull off on a steep hill. Braking is top-notch with ABS, EBD (electronic brake force distribution) and regenerative braking system. There is also a system of exchange rate stability (MATC), which works according to the algorithm patented by the company.
