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. On the European market you can find 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 is worth noting that four-wheel drive only available in maximum configuration engine.
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.
All Mitsubishi parameters
Mitsubishi ACX dimensions:
- Body length - 4 m 29.5 cm;
- Width - 1 m 77 cm;
- Car height - 1 m 61.5 cm (including roof rails 1 m 62.5 cm);
- Body weight - 1 t 870 kg;
- Distance between two axes - 2 m 67 cm;
- Mitsubishi ACX trunk size - 384 liters (+ full size spare wheel);
- The tank holds 63 liters in the front-wheel drive version and 60 liters in the all-wheel drive;
- Tires for Mitsubishi ACX size - 215/65 R16, 215/60 R17 or 225/55 R18
- Mitsubishi ACX rim size - .5JX16, 6.5JX17 or 7.0JX18;
- Road mitsubishi skylight ASX - 195 mm.
Mitsubishi ACX built on McFerson independent front suspension 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. Mounted on the machine winter tires Falcen. 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.
Exterior design, interior design
In a car like Mitsubishi ASX specifications deserve special attention, but for a general idea, let's first look at its design and look into the salon. 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. Applicable 17 inch cast wheel disks aluminum 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 tire, specially used in ASX modifications supplied to Russian market. The dimensions of the loading opening are quite large, while the optimal lifting angle tailgate 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
Let's start considering technical specifications in Mitsubishi ASX with an overview of the power units of the crossover. A front-wheel drive crossover modification is available with a 1.6-liter engine capable of developing 117 Horse power. This engine is equipped with mechanical box gears. 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 vehicle is equipped with exchange rate 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.
This trend has already been observed in external design 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. In general, the interior of the Mitsubishi ASX of the new model range has 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.
It was decided not to supply the diesel power unit to Russia and the CIS countries due to the poor quality of diesel fuel, which can render the engine unusable in a very short time.
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 contributes to the acceleration of 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 characteristics:
- 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 a continuously variable automatic transmission. Only versions with a 2.0-liter engine are equipped with an automatic all-wheel drive system. 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 ACX car, the technical specifications - in particular, the clearance 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. In addition, in many places the 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.
The Japanese crossover Mitsubishi ASX is one of the most popular SUVs among Russian motorists. The new Mitsubishi ACX appeared in Russia in the middle of summer 2010, and since then year by year it has only been increasing the army of its adherents. In our review, consider the technical characteristics updated crossover Mitsubishi ACX model 2013, presented at the Paris Motor Show in 2012. We will evaluate the body colors, tires and wheels, sit down in the salon, look into the trunk, consider possible configurations, their level of filling and prices, and of course we will test drive on asphalt and off it. Traditionally, we will be helped by video and photo materials, analysis of owner reviews and comments from auto journalists.
How a crossover with a modernized suspension is controlled, what is the real fuel consumption, where is it better to spend Maintenance Mitsubishi ASX and buy accessories for it, or maybe the car has weak spots? Lots of questions, we'll try to answer them all.
When creating the ACX compact crossover, Japanese specialists followed a simple and, in our opinion, the right path. The larger one was taken as the basis Mitsubishi Outlander The second-generation XL, which was lowered and given a more sloping roof, had its front overhang reduced by 95mm and cut back by 250mm. By such a reduction, a compact ASX was obtained, while the dimensions of the wheelbase of the platform donor were preserved. The brainchild of Japanese engineers Mitsubishi ASX subsequently made it possible to create clones in the face of a French couple - and Peugeot 4008.
- Specify external dimensions dimensions Mitsubishi ASX: 4295 mm long, 1770 mm wide, 1625 mm high, 2670 mm wheelbase, 195 mm ground clearance ( clearance).
Mitsubishi Outlander XL - with a body length of 4640 mm, a height of 1680 mm and a ground clearance of 215 mm. The downsizing led to a reduction in the curb weight of more than 200 kg, as a result, depending on the version, the mass compact ACX ranges from 1300 kg to 1455 kg.
- Tires fit 215/65R16 or 215/60R17, steel or light alloy discs 16 size and 17 radius light alloy. As tuning, it is possible to install 215/55R18 rubber on R18 alloy wheels.
- There is a wide range of body colors to choose from. colors enamels: white, white mother-of-pearl, black mother-of-pearl and metallics - silver, dark blue, turquoise, red and gray.
The body design of the compact crossover with three diamonds on the facing of a huge trapezoid false radiator grille is decided in the style of the Outlander XL and the Lancer X sedan.
The appearance of the updated ASX is practically indistinguishable from the pre-styling models of the car, the designers only slightly corrected the radiator grille, front and rear bumper. Otherwise, the appearance of the Japanese has not changed, the strict lines of the wedge-shaped body, an overestimated window sill line, large doorways, a roof falling to the stern, a roasted rear end, moderate wheel arches, a neat rear and front bumper, strict lighting technology (rear with LED filling). And an obligatory attribute of a crossover in the face of plastic protection of the lower body of a car made of black plastic, capable of with dignity to withstand the blows of stones and sand flying from under the wheels.
The body of the Mitsu ACX is made with extensive use of high-strength steel and is seriously protected by an anti-corrosion and anti-gravel coating from below. The front fenders are plastic, despite the chopped forms, the drag coefficient is only 0.32 Cx. For severe Russian operating conditions, all Mitsubishi ASX are equipped with batteries with a larger capacity, antifreeze capable of withstanding temperatures below -40 degrees, a reconfigured engine control unit (cold start) and heated front seats.
The salon of the Japanese crossover Mitsubishi ACX is qualitatively assembled from materials that are pleasant to the touch (soft plastic, textured fabric upholstery, leather trim is possible). It is convenient to get into the car in the front and rear seats. Let's start the review of the interior, of course, from the driver's seat. The small steering wheel fits nicely in your hands, steering column adjustable in four directions, informative devices in two deep wells, a screen is located between them on-board computer with color information display. A chair with mechanical adjustments (electric drive option) provides a high and comfortable fit, but excessively dense padding causes fatigue in the lumbar region during long rides.
Front panel and center console with pleasant, soft outlines. Depending on the Mitsubishi ACX trim level, the console houses a radio (radio CD MP3 AUX 4 or 6 speakers) or advanced Rockford Fostgate music (subwoofer, 8 speakers), you can order a multimedia complex with a touch screen (navigator, CD DVD USB, Bluetooth, camera rear view). There is air conditioning or climate control, an air duct to the feet of the rear passengers.
In the second row thanks to large sizes wheelbase three passengers will be accommodated, but sitting is somewhat uncomfortable due to the vertical landing and low ceiling, and miniature side windows cause a feeling of tightness.
The Mitsu ACX trunk in the stowed state holds 415 liters of cargo, a full-fledged spare tire is underground, folding the second row we get an almost flat area with 1219 liters of volume. The large fifth door provides a large rectangular opening, but the loading height is high.
Specifications Mitsubishi ACX 2012-2013: the car in Russia is offered with three gasoline engines.
- 1.6-liter (117 hp) with 5 manual transmissions and front-wheel drive 2 WD, the engine accelerates the car to 100 mph in 11.4 seconds, top speed 183 mph, fuel consumption from 5 liters on the highway to 7.8 liters in the city. Real consumption fuel is on the highway is 6.5-7.5 liters, in city traffic jams 10-11 liters.
- 1.8-liter engine (140 hp), automatic transmission - CVT variator, with front-wheel drive (2 WD) provides acceleration to hundreds in 13.1 seconds, maximum speed is about 186 mph, passport expense fuel from 6.4 liters outside the city and 9.8 liters in the city, in real operating conditions (owner reviews) will be from 7.5-8.5 liters on the highway to 11-12 liters in the city (in tight traffic jams up to 14 liters ).
- 2.0-liter engine (150 hp), automatic transmission - CVT variator, plug-in all-wheel drive (multi-select 4WD all-wheel drive transmission) with three modes (2WD - automatic all-wheel drive, 4WD - constant torque distribution along the axes and Lock- quick response mode of the electromagnetic clutch, but alas, not blocking). The motor, CVT and plug-in all-wheel drive accelerate the crossover to 100 km / h in 11.9 seconds at a top speed of 188 km / h (the owners boast that they accelerated more than 200 km / h). The owners fail to achieve the fuel efficiency indicators declared by the manufacturer from 6.8 liters on a suburban highway to 10.5 liters in the city, the engine actually consumes from 8-9 liters on the highway and 12-12.5 liters in the city.
The suspension is fully independent with anti-roll bars, MacPherson struts in front, multi-link architecture in the rear, electric power steering is used, disc brakes are already in the initial configuration (1.6 5 manual transmission) with ABS EBD Brake Assist Brake override system, in more advanced versions with 1.8 and 2.0 liter engines ASTC (Stability Program with traction control system) and Hill Start Assist.
Test Drive Mitsubishi ACX 2013: the owners of the first cars complained about the problems and inadequate behavior of the crossover in corners ( rear axle even at low speed it could break into a skid, the suspension was loose). Mitsubishi listened to the claims of car owners, and since June 2011 the car has been produced with an upgraded suspension. Other stabilizer struts are installed in front and more rigid rear shock absorbers, also changed the characteristics of the electric power steering and stabilization system.
As a result, the operation of the car has become safer, on a solid pavement the suspension is assembled, but excessively rigid, it shakes even on small bumps in the cabin, large pits and potholes are strongly felt by passengers and the driver. Changes in the suspension had a positive effect on handling, the car is stable and obedient, but ... I don’t want to drive fast, the chassis is too loud and does not differ in energy intensity, poor sound and noise insulation of the cabin.
For serious off-road, the 2012-2013 Mitsubishi ACX is poorly adapted, even the version with all-wheel drive transmission. But on slippery or snowy roads, connecting the rear wheels significantly adds confidence to the owner.
The Japanese ACX crossover, although it looks like a crossover, in practice, in our opinion, is a five-door hatchback with an increased ground clearance and the ability to order all-wheel drive, but the suspension is clearly not conducive to moving on roads with poor coverage.
Where is collected Mitsubishi ACX: assembly of a car for the Russian market will be possible in Kaluga, but for now, the crossover is rolling off the assembly line in Japan and the USA.
What is the price: the cost in Russia ASH 2012-2013 captures a very large range of prices. For only 699 thousand rubles, you can buy the initial configuration of ASX Inform (1.6 117 hp 5 manual transmission), and the sale of the maximum version of ASX Exclusive 2.0 150 hp 4WD variator (leather interior, electric driver's seat, a roof with a panoramic view, navigation, xenon, climate control) is almost twice as expensive - from 1,249 thousand rubles.
The best option is to buy a new Mitsubishi ACX - a car dealership with the status official dealer. It is also better to buy spare parts and make current repairs from a dealer, for a simple reason - the conditions for maintaining a guarantee. However, in some cases, spare parts, accessories (rugs, covers, etc.), minor repairs and tuning Mitsubishi ACX - it's cheaper to order via the Internet and perform it at a specialized service station.
New Mitsubishi ACX 2019 model year is available to Russian customers now. After some absence of Mitsubishi ASX on the 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 last upgrade japanese crossover received its X-face with chrome inserts, a different grille and a new bumper with LED optics. Behind appeared bumper stylized 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, rims of the original design appeared. 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 car. 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 the top trim levels, there is a black glossy panel in the center console, a large armrest and transmission control paddles. Dealers insist on explaining 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.

Specifications Mitsubishi ACX 2019
In Europe the main power unit is a diesel engine, in the USA a 2.4 liter aspirated. In our country, only two versions of gasoline engines are offered, 1.6 and 2.0 liter units with a capacity of 117 and 150 horsepower.
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 the connection of the rear wheels. 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 suspension on MacPherson struts at the front, the rear has a multi-link design. 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

Prices and equipment Mitsubishi ACX 2019 model year
Prices for 2019 model year Russian dealers have already announced. In all trim levels, the model has risen in price by 20 thousand rubles. Below is the manufacturer's price.
- Mitsubishi ASX 1.6 5MKP Inform 2WD - 1,169,000 rubles
- Mitsubishi ASX 1.6 5MKP Invite 2WD - 1,218,000 rubles
- Mitsubishi ASX 1.6 5MKP Intense 2WD - 1,268,000 rubles
- Mitsubishi ASX 2.0 CVT Intense 4WD - 1,465,000 rubles
- Mitsubishi ASX 2.0 CVT Instyle 4WD - 1,605,000 rubles
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 a 1.6-liter engine and “mechanics” (no other transmissions and drive systems are provided with such an engine). 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 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.
automatic transmission(CVT) is available with 1.8- and 2.0-liter engines, moreover, there is no alternative. Moreover, with a top-end motor, 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 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 gearbox. 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.
