Parallel parking would be very difficult but for the rear-view camera system 3. Smooth engine and excellent automatic transmission make it quiet to drive. Space up front is fine and you have a good view out thanks to its high seating position. I have been impressed with the standard of Mitsubishi servicing and their cars for over 20-odd years and so decided to stay with the marque after checking several other crossover types. Not only do they make everything from air conditioning units, concrete, buses, trucks, paper, aircraft and so on, but they also make a few cars. Read the definitive used Mitsubishi ASX 2010 - present review from What Car?. The Mitsubishi ASX you see here is roughly the same ASX introduced back in 2010, barring some nips and tucks. However, unlike the Shogun and Shogun Sport, the ASX much smaller in size to make it easier to drive and park in town, and goes up against rivals such as the Suzuki Vitara, Nissan Qashqai and Seat Ateca.The base model 2 comes with air conditioning, Bluetooth audio and 16in alloy wheels, but 3 models have a much higher level of standard equipment with climate control, rear parking sensors, cruise control and automatic lights and wipers. Visibility is also helped by relatively thin pillars and big door mirrors.You’re better off adopting a relaxed driving style with the ASX because it isn’t the sort of car for those who crave driving thrills. The finish, power, handling and overall flexibility of use is excellent.There are three minor disappointments however: 1. The Shogun was a popular SUV choice during the 1990s but it fell out of favour due to its large size and associated running costs. Mitsubishi has long been a major player in the Australian 4WD and SUV sales race. It’s when you get into the ASX that things start to disappoint. Only negative so far is the amount of wind and road noise on motorways.Excellent all round family country car, 4wd option, roomy, practical, comfortable. Servicing and maintenance have been inexpensive. It can seat five, but rear seat legroom can be tight for taller people and the boot certainly isn’t the most accommodating in the class. The steering in the ASX is quite slow and requires more input than you might initially expect; it is light for parking, though. If that’s the case, buy a Seat Ateca. So Mitsubishi, being the company that it is, diversified and built a smaller version to compete in the growing small SUV market, the Mitsubishi ASX.Powering the ASX is a choice of one 115bhp 1.6-litre petrol and three diesel engines: a 114bhp or 147bhp 1.8-litre, a 148bhp 2.2-litre with four-wheel drive and an automatic gearbox, or a 112bhp 1.6-litre that replaced the 1.8. It competes in a packed small SUV marketplace against cars like the Toyota C-HR, Seat Ateca, Skoda Karoq and Peugeot 3008. 2. This first generation version received a heavy facelift in 2019 to last it through its last few years of life, but here we evaluate the 2010-2018 pre-facelift models from a used car perspective. The 2019 ASX is a facelifted version of Mitsubishi’s small SUV, which was first released in 2010. The seats almost fold flat, though, which does help when you need to load longer items into the car. It’s now had an overhaul, and most notably there’s no longer a 4WD version – that niche will be filled by Mitsi’s Eclipse Cross. Ewan Kennedy reviews the 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015 and 2016 Mitsubishi ASX as a used buy. The ASX also suffers from lots of tyre noise and some rather unrefined engines.Mitsubishi is an incredibly diverse company.
