Although many rumors pointed to Mitsubishi would leave the European market scared by the harsh restrictions and regulations, the truth is that its commercial offer continues with its sights set on electrification. The Mitsubishi ASX It is one of the company's best-selling models, and its new generation will receive a very important package of new features that will allow it to fight again with the general models in the category.
The ASX made an appearance for the first time in 1991, being one of the first SUVs in the category to be launched on the market.. En estos años tres han sido las generaciones presentadas, la anterior en 2010 recibió numerosas actualizaciones hasta su total desaparición en el 2022. En el último tramo del año, Mitsubishi presenta en sociedad la cuarta generación de su SUV más pequeño, ofreciendo importantes novedades estéticas, mecánicas y tecnológicas. En 2024 recibe una actualización correspondiente a la mitad de su ciclo comercial. Mueva apariencia y novedades significativas, especialmente en la oferta mecánica.
Technical characteristics of the Mitsubishi ASX
Mitsubishi is part of a major business conglomerate led by Renault y Nissan. The three companies share information and components in their developments. Thanks to that, the latest generation ASX is based on the group's CMF-B platform. It is the same structure used by models from other companies such as the Nissan Juke or Renault Captur, which are considered the twin brothers of the ASX.
At the moment Mitsubishi has not given many technical samples of what the ASX will be like in its measurements, but we do know that it will remain faithful to the B-SUV segment. That means that externally they will have similar measurements to the previous model, around 4,3 meters long con una distancia entre ejes superior a los 2,7 metros. En cuanto a capacidad de carga, las múltiples opciones mecánicas permitirán ofrecer maleteros de diferente consideración, rondando todos una media de 422 litros de cubicaje mínimo. Esa cifra se reduce hasta los 305 litros en el caso del modelo híbrido.
Mechanical range and gearboxes of the Mitsubishi ASX
The new CMF-B platform allows Mitsubishi to employ a wide range of mechanical solutions. for this generation the ASX gets rid of diesel engines, taking advantage only of electrified or thermal gasoline engines. En 2024 también desaparece la unidad híbrida enchufable, quedando registradas cuatro variantes definitivas: un gasolina, dos microhíbridos con etiqueta ECO y un híbrido convencional, también con la etiqueta ECO.
The range, by power, starts with the 100T. A three-cylinder turbocharged block that develops a 90 horse power output and that it is associated with a six-speed manual transmission. Behind him stands the 130T MHEV with four turbocharged cylinders offers 140 horses, transmisión manual de seis marchas y la ventajosa etiqueta ECO de la DGT. La opción con cambio automático, el ASX 130T MHEV ofrece 160 caballos gestionados por una transmisión de doble embrague y siete marchas.
El modelo más electrificado de todos es el ASX 160 HEV con esquema híbrido. Ofrece un motor de gasolina de 1.6 litros y dos motores eléctricos, uno de ellos actuando como cambio, que se asocian con una batería de 1,3 kWh de capacidad. Disfruta de un rango eléctrico aproximado de 5 kilómetros, mientras que el conjunto al completo desarrolla un rendimiento máximo de 145 caballos de potencia. Toda la potencia se destina al eje delantero.
Equipment of the Mitsubishi ASX
The similarities with the Captur are not limited exclusively to the design and the mechanical part. Mitsubishi's proposal also includes replicating the interior of the French SUV. The good thing about little differentiation is that the ASX employs materials above the category standard, as well as state-of-the-art technology that without the association with Renault it would not have access.
As is customary in the Japanese house, the equipment is segmented into different finishes. Strata that add or subtract equipment to make the product more expensive or cheaper. In all of them, the wide number of systems available stands out. In the Spanish market they are sold four options available: Spirit, Motion, Kaiteki and Kaiteki +. The main differences lie in the equipment and design details.
Technologically speaking, the Mitsubishi ASX offers a wide collection of systems, más de lo habitual en la categoría. En la lista destacan elementos como: faros de LED, acceso y arranque sin llave, instrumentación digital, sistema multimedia con panel táctil vertical de hasta 10,4 pulgadas, conectividad para dispositivos móviles, climatizador automático, cámaras de aparcamiento y una amplia colección de asistentes con un nivel 2 de conducción autónoma.
