Exceed and GSR models scored some extra power thanks to a 2.4L addition. Previously, all ASX models shared the 110kw 2.0L engine. The 2.4 4cylinder gains a little boost to 123kw, and 222Nm. Both engines use 91ron fuel. The 2.4L gets 7.9L/100k with 186g/k of CO2.
Ground clearance is 204mm, which matters little because you won’t be going too far off-road. ASX is a front-wheel-drive-only family.
Ride is firm despite the MacPherson strut front and multi-link rear end.
It had been a long time since last heading into the hills in an ASX, and the drive hasn’t changed appreciably in that time. It’s also worth noting that the test was less comprehensive than before. Covid restricted travel somewhat.
So, while highway K’s were limited, we managed shopping and some chores, and the things people usually do when they’re bored sensless.
For that, the 2WD ASX was great. The front-wheel-drive gave the occasional chirp at the lights, and the steering is extremely light. That should please those lazy-bones.
Parking was easy with rear camera/sensors/cross traffic alert, but it’s a bit mean not to have sensors at the front too. The thing I missed most was the absence of any active steering assistance. Blind spot monitoring is a warning only, and there is no lane assistance. That is something others in the segment consider a must-have.
The engine does get a bit rambunctious when pushed, and there is a little more road noise than I’d have liked.
One last thing, the CVT feels decidedly old school. Newer CVTs simulate gears under harsh acceleration. It stops the engine from sounding like the pistons are about to shoot through the bonnet. If you stick the boot in, ASX will be screaming her head off within a few metres. It is quite off-putting.

I have a 2019 Outlander Sport GT 2.4 liter here in the U.S. ASX or RVR everywhere else in the world. I have all the bells and whistles except for the moon roof. It's a great car that I leave in two wheel drive unless the weather is bad, then I can put it in all wheel drive and even four wheel lock if it's off road or snowing. Overall, it's a great little SUV.

I have one too and my old Ford had dual zone air-conditioning and found it a complete waste of time lol. you can only set zones a few degrees apart😂 not worth it. I much prefer the no nonsense Mitsubishi asx air-conditioning knobs over tiny button dual zone nonsense. that's why I like the asx no nonsense and I adjust the air-conditioning without looking unlike touchscreen nonsense. fun fact there is air-conditioning vents in the rear they're under the two front seats 😁

I don't like digital speedo. Good God it is not fitted with one.
