Used Mitsubishi ASX 2018 Automatic

The ASX looks big, bulky and a touch old-school, especially parked next to a Mazda CX-3 or Hyundai Kona. Viewed front on, Mitsubishi's 'Dynamic Shield' front end looks big and bold, while side-on, the high belt line and bulging wheel arches lend it a tough and rugged look. Inside, you’ll find a simple and clean layout dominated by a touchscreen in the centre of the dash. Splashes of silver and gloss black lift the general ambience. ASX XLS  was equipped with a 2.2-litre, four-cylinder diesel engine good for 110kW at 3500rpm and 360Nm at 1500rpm. It pairs with a six-speed automatic transmission and sends its power to all four wheels.

Mitsubishi claims a fairly frugal 6.0 litres per hundred kilometres on the combined cycle, with emissions pegged at 160g/km of CO2. ASX is more than happy to navigate everything from suburban streets to freeways, the torque from the diesel engine keeping the Mitsubishi powering along smoothly and happily. It’s not the fastest nor most dynamic vehicle in its segment, but it does everything you would normally ask of it without fuss or bother. Expect seven airbags (dual front, front-side, curtain and driver’s knee bag), along with the usual suite of traction and braking aids. A reversing camera, parking sensors and hill-start assist join the standard features list, too, along with forward collision warning and lane departure warning.
