Mitsubishi ASX Facelift (2024): Price/Engine/Hybrid

Just one year after its market launch, the Mitsubishi ASX facelift (2024) is already available – a restyled design meets extended features. When it comes to driving, everything remains the same: gasoline engines and hybrid variants are offered. The price is not yet known.

Price: Mitsubishi ASX Facelift (2024) is expected to be more expensive

After the ASX returns to Europe only in 2023, the Asians are already pushing the Mitsubishi ASX facelift in 2024, at the same time as the European sister model Renault Captur. As such, the ASX is based on the CMF-B platform. And with the model update, they all receive a revised design and new (security) systems. It remains to be seen if the new ASX can maintain the price range of the current model, which is available from 19,990 euros (until April 2024). In any case, extended equipment speaks against it.

Drive: petrol, smooth and full hybrid

When it comes to propulsion, Mitsubishi relies exclusively on gasoline engines. The range starts with a 1.0 liter three-cylinder turbo with 91 hp (67 kW). On top of this is a 1.3 liter Turbo four cylinder with V 12 lean hybrid technology, with 140 (103 kW) or 158 HP (116 kW). In the weaker version, a six-speed manual transmission transfers power to the front wheels, while the more powerful version uses a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission. The top engine is a complete hybrid, in which a 1.6-liter cylinder with 94 hp (69 kW) works together or in exchange with two electric motors producing 36 kW (49 hp). System output is 143 hp (105 kW).

Exterior: New ASX design

As is known, the Japanese city SUV is based on the Renault Captur and the previous version was its spitting image. Apart from the changed brand logo, there were no differences. “We wanted to make more Mitsubishiness visible,” says the Dutch manufacturer’s European headquarters. And so the front of the facelift-corrected Mitsubishi ASX (2024) has a new standard “Dynamic Shield Design”. This now makes the SUV clearly identifiable as a Mitsubishi.

Interior: Minor changes to trunk volume

The infotainment system is controlled via a 10.4-inch screen and now has expanded connectivity. For example, “My Mitsubishi Motors App” offers remote services (locking and unlocking, positioning, remote recognition) and from the “Introduction Edition” version onwards, Google services such as Google Maps or voice control of Google Assistant can be used. Mandatory infotainment system updates are installed over the air. The multimedia system is based on Android Automotive 12. Interfaces for connecting wireless or wired smartphones (Android Auto, Apple CarPlay), USB-C ports and 12 V sockets in the front area and in the trunk are also available.

So that performance is not compromised, the long-sliding rear seat bench, when pushed forward, allows a trunk volume of up to 400 l. When the rear seat is folded down, the volume increases to 1596 l. In the hybrid model, the trunk volume is slightly reduced from 326 l to 1458 l. Additional storage compartments in the interior provide more than 22 liters of additional volume. An optional electric glass roof with a width of 69 cm is available for the ASX, which creates a comfortable and friendly atmosphere in the interior. For safety, the revised ASX features, among other things, Parking and Exit Assist. With MI-Pilot, the next line assistant including adaptive automatic cruise control has entered.

Driving attitude: a comfortable, spacious, but independent forerunner

The Mitsubishi ASX has all the strengths and weaknesses of its base, the Renault Captur. But there is a lack of freedom. One advantage is the five-year warranty.
