compact crossover Mitsubishi ASX for the European market was shown back in 2010 in Geneva. Since then, the ASX has gone through a couple of minor facelifts. But in general, the recognizable profile, on the platform of which the car was made, remained without significant changes. While the older brother “Outlander” completely changed his appearance.
For the Russian market, the Mitsubishi ASX crossover is assembled in Japan. It is the Japanese assembly that ensures excellent quality and reliability of the car. As for the technical features, in our country the car is presented with three petrol engines with a working volume of 1.6, 1.8 and 2 liters. There is also a diesel option, but it can only be bought in the EU.
As for the off-road qualities of the Mitsubishi ASX, buyers should be pleased with the ground clearance, which is almost 20 centimeters, or more precisely, ground clearance ASX 195 mm. There are both front-wheel drive and all-wheel drive versions of the car. However, the crossover receives all-wheel drive only in combination with a top-end 2-liter engine.
Mitsubishi ASX exterior quite similar to the Lancer X sedan, especially in the front. Designers borrowed quite a lot of saloon features. The main thing that immediately catches your eye is a large grille in the form of a trapezoid. By the way, as a result of the latest restyling, LED daytime running lights were added to the front foglights (built into the bumper). See photos of the ASX crossover below.

Salon Mitsubishi ASX made very well. Pleasant, and in some places soft to the touch plastic. Comfortable seats, multifunctional steering wheel. Monitor in the center console. In more expensive equipment, a fairly large sunroof. The transformation of the rear seats makes it easy to increase the loading space for transporting various things.

The luggage compartment of the ASX is small, but thanks to the fact that the rear seats fold almost into a flat floor, an impressive volume is obtained for loading fairly large items. Mitsubishi ASX trunk photos below.

Specifications Mitsubishi ASX
Specifications crossover ASX directly depend on the type of power unit. So a car with a 1.6-liter gasoline engine is offered only with front-wheel drive and a 5-speed manual gearbox. With a 1.8-liter engine, the ASX is already sold with a CVT stepless variator, but as before, only front-wheel drive. And only with the most powerful 2-liter gasoline engine, customers are offered an all-wheel drive transmission, but all with the same CVT variator.
So, base engine Mitsubishi ASX 1.6 liter, this is a gasoline in-line, 4-cylinder, 16-valve unit with an electronic valve timing control system. Motor power 117 hp at 154 Nm of torque. Acceleration to the first hundred with this engine is 11.4 seconds, and the maximum speed is 183 km / h. Average fuel consumption is 6.1 liters. I would like to note right away that all Mitsubishi ASX engines have a chain in the timing drive. The type of injection is distributed.
The next most powerful 1.8-liter engine produces 140 horses with a maximum torque of 177 Nm. Acceleration in combination with a continuously variable transmission to 100 km / h in 12.7 seconds, and a top speed of 189 km. Interestingly, the more powerful engine of the ASX crossover did not add dynamism to the crossover, but fuel consumption increased. So in mixed mode, it is 7.4 liters. By the way, 1.6 and 1.8 engines consume only AI-95 gasoline, but the 2-liter “eats” AI-92.
The top-end 2-liter gasoline engine, which is combined only with the all-wheel drive transmission of the Mitsubishi compact crossover, produces 150 horsepower and 197 Nm of torque. Acceleration to the first hundred is 11.7 seconds, and the maximum speed is 191 km / h. Naturally, this engine is also the most voracious, so the consumption in mixed mode is 7.7 liters. Interestingly, the manufacturer indicates consumption in urban conditions at 9.4 liters, the same figure for the ASX with a 1.8-liter engine.
Four-wheel drive Mitsubishi ASX works as follows. In mode 2WD only the front wheels are driving. In mode 4WD auto, it is still a front-wheel drive car, but if necessary, the rear wheels are connected without the participation of the driver. That is, when the front wheels slip, the differential locks automatically and the torque is transmitted to the rear wheels.
Force Lock Mode 4WD Lock blocks the differential constantly and the car turns into an SUV and is ready to conquer various terrain in 4x4 mode. It should be borne in mind that fuel consumption in this mode is increased, plus acceleration dynamics also suffer.

By the way, in the US, Mitsubishi ASX is sold under the name Outlander Sport. In the North American market, this car is the best selling among all Mitsubishi models at the moment. The most interesting thing is that in our country this is not the case. The Kaluga-assembled Outlander remains the best-selling one so far.
