Safety features include ABS brakes and stability control, hill-start assist and seven airbags.
Power is supplied by a 2.0l normally aspirated petrol engine with outputs of 110kW and 197Nm, with a choice of a continuously variable transmission (CVT) or five-speed manual.
The ASX now boasts an improved towing capacity of 1,260kg (braked) for the manual transmission and 750kg for the CVT (unbraked), with 406l of boot space (1,206l with the rear seats folded down).
“The new ASX has an even more attractive appearance front and back as well as a variety of improvements and performance spec,” says Nic Campbell, GM of Mitsubishi Motors SA.
