The new Mitsubishi ASX finally differentiates itself from the Renault Captur model

Hastily restaged last year on the basis of the Renault Captur that had already been on the market for four years, the Japanese SUV logically benefits from a facelift, a few weeks after its French cousin. This upgrade adds to its personality, from the front ¾, thanks to a grille/shield assembly that is finally differentiated that includes a large air intake derived from local production, influenced by the codes of the 4×4 world, while new rims are also installed for it.

Still a lot of synergy with Losange

On the other hand, it still has to deal with the cap and the eyes of the modified Captur, as well as the area marked with a light signature, which differ slightly in their images, while the rest of its body is based on the elements of the elements of its tricolor alter ego, before lifting the face.

There are no revolutions on board, the ASX renewing the design of the original Renault cockpit, while benefiting from the multimedia upgrade recently released by the latter and incorporating a new 10.4 inch central touchscreen powered by Google’s promising environment large.

But unlike the vegan diet recommended by his French counterpart, the Japanese remain faithful to the real leather upholstery, depending on the level of finish. An added bonus for anyone hesitating between these two consoles who nevertheless takes care to specify their engine options.

Reasons to prefer ASX… or Captur

Finally, the reasons for preferring the ASX to the Captur, and vice versa, are increasing, but it would be correct to compare the prices of the same equipment and engines, because if the entry-level Mitsubishi has appeared so far, the higher versions turned out to be more expensive, because they were and many accessories.

We’ll have to wait until this summer to compare the new price list with that of the facelifted Captur.

And if the ASX were to renew its elite pricing, an extended warranty of up to 5 years or 100,000km would not be justified, to the extent that Renault offers a period-matched extension while extending the mileage to 150,000km.

In short, it is all a question of calculation, case by case, not forgetting to consider the residual value at the time of sale, for one that will probably start around € 25,000 when it is launched this fall.

Summing up

If, from an aesthetic point of view, it stands out more from the Renault Captur than in the past, the revised ASX benefits mainly from an extended warranty of 5 years, compared to only two of the Losange model. Yes but…
