Mitsubishi ASX 2019–2021 car dimensions: 4365 mm long, 1810 mm wide and 1640 mm high. Unladen weight is 1,356 kg. Braked towing is 1,300 kg.
The cabin has an 8-inch touchscreen with standard Android Auto and Apple CarPlay for phone linking, music and navigation. Cruise control is standard. Automatic climate control appears on mid and higher grades. A reversing camera is standard. Automatic emergency braking is standard via Forward Collision Mitigation. Blind spot warning and lane departure warning come on higher grades or packs. The setup suits daily driving with basic aids for city and highway use.
Boot holds 393 litres with seats up. Fold the rear seats for 1193 litres. Low floor and wide opening make loading simple for bags or shopping.
Braked towing is rated at 1300 kg and unbraked at 750 kg. Payload reaches 614 kg. The car handles light trailers or weekend loads but shows no heavy-duty cooling or suspension upgrades for tougher work.
The cabin offers a high seating position for good visibility and easy entry. Higher grades bring leather-appointed seats with heated fronts and a power-adjustable driver's seat. A panoramic sunroof is available on top trims and floods the interior with light, though it slightly reduces rear headroom. Single-zone climate control is standard, with decent front storage including cupholders and a centre armrest bin. Rear space suits adults for shorter trips with solid legroom.
Fuel use 7.6 L/100 km for 2.0-litre CVT, 7.9 L/100 km for 2.4-litre.
Service every 15,000 km or 12 months.
Five-star ANCAP rating from 2014 tests.
Standard seven airbags including driver's knee.
Forward Collision Mitigation with pedestrian detection standard from MY20.
Active Stability Control, traction control and hill start assist across the range.
The 2.0-litre petrol returns 7.6 L/100 km combined on the CVT while the 2.4-litre sits at 7.9 L/100 km. Both use regular unleaded and a 63-litre tank. Real-world figures sit a little higher in mixed driving.
Servicing falls due every 15,000 km or 12 months, whichever comes first. Oil and filter changes form the core of each visit, with longer intervals for items such as the air filter and spark plugs. Capped-price plans cover the early years in many markets.
Crash protection earns five ANCAP stars under 2014 protocols, with strong side-impact scores. Seven airbags are standard. From the 2020 model year Forward Collision Mitigation is fitted across the range and higher grades add blind-spot warning, rear cross-traffic alert and lane-departure warning.
Keep the car on the recommended schedule to retain warranty cover. The RISE body structure and electronic aids help with everyday safety. Regular checks of brakes, tyres and fluids keep running costs low over time.
