Enjoy every drive

The ASX was made to be a city adventurer’s dream car, and it really is. It’s easy to drive, easy to park and with an electronically controlled 4WD system, it offers expert roadholding no matter the conditions.

ALL WHEEL CONTROL (AWC) 4WD

Advanced 4WD for superior roadholding

The ASX has the advanced 4WD technology which comes from the Mitsubishi motors’ unique concept of ‘All Wheel Control (AWC)’. It uses technologies we’ve been developing over many years. It means you get better cornering, stability, and handling.

ACTIVE STABILITY CONTROL

A bit of detail how the ASC works

Active Stability Control analyses the vehicle’s motion and identifies any unstable movement. It then automatically distributes torque and braking power to the left or right wheels to maintain stability.

ELECTRONICALLY CONTROLLED 4WD

Match your driving style and road conditions

Use the Drive Mode Selector on the centre console to get enhanced traction and stability whenever you need it. Just press until the mode you want appears in the Multi-Information Display on the dash. Choose between 2WD, 4WD AUTO or 4WD LOCK settings. Go further with more control.

Normal roads

2WD

For economical driving on normal or dry roads and motorways.

Unpredictable roads

4WD AUTO

For enhanced traction, high speed stability and predictable handling.

Challenging roads

4WD LOCK

For slippery, snowy conditions or when maximum traction is required.

PADDLE SHIFT

Quick and simple gear change

Sporty F1-style paddle shifters on the steering column make changing gears easy. They allow you to keep your hands on the steering wheel and stay in control.

AUTO STOP AND GO SYSTEM (AS&G)

Cut back on fuel waste and emissions

With the Auto Stop & Go system, the ASX engine shuts off at traffic stops. This cuts fuel waste and CO2 emissions without disrupting the electronic systems. The engine restarts immediately when you press the accelerator.

CRUISE CONTROL

Drive long distances and feel relaxed

Cruise Control allows you to automatically maintain your car's speed without keeping your foot on the accelerator pedal. It makes longer journeys much more relaxed. To release it, simply press the brake pedal.

DIRECT INJECTION TURBO ENGINE

A responsive and economical engine

The ASX has a 2.0L, 16-valve inline 4-cylinder Mitsubishi Innovative Valve timing Electronic Control system (MIVEC) engine. It’s available in 5-speed manual or CVT (Continuously Variable Transmission). Our MIVEC engines have lighter aluminium engine blocks which result in maximum power output, fuel efficiency and better environmental performance.

SUV Capability

Reaping the benefits of an SUV

The ASX has all the advantages you’d expect from a much larger SUV, but in a smaller package. A high driving position allows you to see more of the road ahead. The MacPherson strut front and multi-link rear suspensions make driving on rough roads smooth and comfortable. The shock absorbers and stabilizers are precision-tuned for responsive handling and sporty performance.
