Mitsubishi ASX

The interiors of Mitsubishi ASX have been designed to keep the overall design simple and subtle, yet very impactful. As you get inside the car, the first thing that catches your attention the premium quality dashboard design. Also, the driver’s seat is slightly elevated to give a commanding position and nice view to the driver. The switchgear and buttons are also thoughtfully placed according to the driver’s reach. The seats are wrapped in premium quality leather upholstery, which offers a soft and comfortable feel to the occupants. The steering wheel is also wrapped in leather, offering a complete grip to the driver. For the driver’s convenience, the steering wheel is also equipped with all audio, Bluetooth, and cruise control. Right behind the wheel lies a wide information cluster with speedometer and other useful information.

Coming to the center instrument cluster we see a wide MID screen right in the middle, showcasing a variety of information. There is also a touchscreen infotainment system with all ubiquitous features like AUX and USB connectivity.  It also has navigation and features VAPS (Virtual Acoustic Positioning System). Below the touchscreen are the controls for the fully automatic climate control system.

The Mitsubishi ASX, being an entry-level midsize SUV, is equipped with a good amount of comfort and convenience features, which makes the cabin space a premium space to be in. For a five-seater midsize SUV, the Mitsubishi ASX feels quite spacious despite not so large size. With raised seating positions, the cabin of Mitsubishi ASX has a generous amount of legroom and headroom which makes it comfortable for long drives as well.

Just as the interior layout of Mitsubishi ASX is impressive, the exterior aesthetics of the car are also subtle and stylish. It is a perfect combination of practicality and functionality, which is why you might be willing to spend your money on ASX, despite it having competitive rivals in the market. 

The front fascia of the car dons a nice pair of headlamps that are halogen bulbs. The wide nose grille at the front bumper gives a sharp appearance to the front profile of the car. The grille is garnished with silver tints to make the front look glossy. Besides that, the fog lamps are surrounded by C-shaped LED Daytime Running Lights. 

There are nice curvy lines running all over the body of the car to give it a contoured silhouette. Also dominating the side profile are strong character lines, running from the front door to the rear end, seamlessly merging with the rear tail-light cluster. To give a masculine appeal to the car, the black cladding effect has been given all over the car. The roof-mounted spoiler is also a prominent addition. 

The suspension setup at the front wheels of the Mitsubishi ASX is managed by MacPherson Strut Coil Springs with Stabiliser and Multi-link Coil Springs with Stabiliser at the rear. Together this set-up works well to offer a decent ride quality to the car. Besides offering a comfortable drive in the busy city traffic roads, the ASX also offers pretty good highway driving. But just to keep in mind, ASX is a sub-compact SUV and hence not much should be expected out of it while twisting the car to curves and corners. 

Under the bonnet of the Mitsubishi ASX is a 2.0L MIVEC engine that sparks 150 PS of max power at 6,000 rpm and the peak torque of 197 Nm kicks in at 4,200 rpm. The engine is mated to a CVT unit for the transfer of power either two or four wheels depending on the variant you pick as the ASX is available in both 2WD and 4WD trims.  

The front wheels of the ASX are equipped with ventilated disc brakes whereas the rear ones get solid discs. The stopping capability is further enhanced by 215 section tires that provide that much more grip. Also, the Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS) and Electronic Brake-Force Distribution (EBD) come in handy as well. Additional safety features include airbags, Active Stability Control, Traction Control, Hill-Start Assist (HSA), Brake Assist (BA), Pretensioner & Force Limiter Seatbelts, Parking Sensors, and a Reverse Camera. Overall, you get a complete package of braking and safety features in the Mitsubishi ASX.

If space and comfort both you stress upon while selecting your car, then you will never get disappointed with this selection. The car is amazing in terms of performance. The space inside is more than adequate. The roomy interior denotes long term comfort. This is one of the decent small-sized SUV. The price of the 2WD trim is RM 112,400 and you would need to have RM 126,739 to own the 4WD variant. As far as the colour options go, you can pick - Solid White, Cool Silver, Sporty Blue, and Titanium Gray.
