Mitsubishi’s small ASX ES SUV – an oldie but a goodie

Talking about Mitsubishi’s small ASX SUV today – the ASX has been around for a long time – first surfacing in 2010 but updated visually three times since. Sharply priced it remains our fourth best-selling small SUV, strongly recognised for its value story and a 10-year warranty. A roomy small SUV in seven front wheel drive grades from $24,490 plus on-road costs for the entry manual GS – I drove the next grade up, the ES automatic, the best seller and frankly the one to own at $27,990. A 2.0-litre four-cylinder driving through a CVT or continuously variable automatic. This year the ES gained lane departure warning for the first time, but it lacks rear cross traffic alert and autonomous emergency braking. Features include a rear-view camera, climate control aircon, rear parking sensors, rain sensing wipers and air-con ducts to the rear seats. The Mitsubishi ASX ES competes in a super competitive small SUV segment – not the latest design but this trusty small SUV with great interior room has been kept competitive with small tweaks along the way. For a small family in today’s cost-conscious world, it has one outstanding feature – an industry leading 10-year/200,000 km warranty if you keep it serviced by a Mitsubishi dealer. Drive details next segment. I’m David Berthon
