Standard accessories for the ASX include turn-key operation, LED headlights, DRLs, front fog lights, electric side mirrors, two USB-A ports, two 12-volt sockets, wired Apple CarPlay/Android Auto, 8.0-inch touchscreen multimedia system, Bluetooth, digital radio, four-speaker sound system, reversing camera, air-conditioning, dust and pollen filter, and child safety locks on rear doors.

The features and styling of the ASX cabin are fairly similar across the grades until you hit the two top grades; where the heavier use of plastics on panelling, accents, the gear-shifter and steering wheel are replaced by softer touchpoints and synthetic leather.

The dashboard is headlined by an 8.0-inch touchscreen multimedia system, analogue instrument cluster and lots of traditional elements in the form of physical buttons, dials and touchpoints.

The cabin is overall pleasant but it doesn’t wow.

A panoramic sunroof is available on the Exceed grade.

The GS (both manual and auto variants), ES, MR and LS models have a two-wheel-drive drivetrain and share the same 2.0L four-cylinder petrol engine that produces 110kW of power and 197Nm of torque.

The GS manual variant has five gears, while all other variants have a continuously variable transmission.

The GSR and Exceed models share a 2.4L four-cylinder petrol engine which produces 123kW of power and 222Nm of torque.

The Mitsubishi ASX features five seats in a 2/3 configuration.

The second row has a 60/40 split and a fold-down armrest with two cupholders. This row folds flat when stored.

The drivers seat features manual adjustments in all but the top Exceed grade, and heated front seats are also only available on this top model.

The GS, ES, MR and LS models have black cloth upholstery; while the GSR model features black microsuede with synthetic leather accents.

The top Exceed grade has leather appointed upholstery.

None of the ASX grades have an official 0-100km/h sprint time but all would be able to achieve a sprint time of under 10-seconds.

All models have an estimated top speed of around 180km/h.

The manual GS has an official combined fuel cycle figure of 7.7L/100km and coupled with its 63L fuel tank, you should expect a theoretical driving range of up to 818km.

The GS (auto), ES, MR, and LS have an official combined fuel cycle figure of 7.6L/100km and coupled with their 63L fuel tank, you should expect a theoretical driving range of up to 829km.

The GSR and Exceed have an official combined fuel cycle figure of 7.9L/100km and coupled with their 63L fuel tank, you should expect a theoretical driving range of up to 797km.

Mitsubishi recommends a minimum 91RON unleaded petrol to be used for all ASX models.
