October 06, 2010 (From The Source Of MMM)

Stylish compact crossover launching soon

The new ASX compact crossover from Mitsubishi Motors has been creating waves across the world. This exciting global car will reach Malaysian shores very soon. Mitsubishi Motors Malaysia, the importer and distributor of Mitsubishi Motors vehicles, has announced that it will begin collecting bookings for the ASX from 8 October onwards.

The all-new ASX compact crossover is expected to be officially launched in early November 2010.

The ASX’s key concept is ‘Smart-Sized’- more compact than a conventional SUV, but larger than a compact car with a higher seating position, thus striking a fine balance between the two. Passenger car handling and agility from an SUV’s vantage point as well as utility are not sacrificed – the ASX offers both.

The ASX will be powered by a 2.0-litre 16-valve engine with Mitsubishi’s proprietary MIVEC system. This modern DOHC power plant has 150 PS of power and 197 Nm of torque. It will be paired with an INVECS-III CVT gearbox with 6-step Sports Mode.

Equipment levels are generous. The ASX comes with standard Active Stability Control (ASC), Hill Start Assist and dual front airbags plus a driver’s knee airbag. Also included are leather seats, a 2-DIN wide touch screen audio system, reverse camera, automatic air-conditioning and cruise control are luxurious extras. A full-colour LCD multi-information system in the instrument panel complete the vision of perfection.

The ASX was developed to combine the utility and practicality of an SUV with the comfort of a sedan in just the right size, with high ride point, easy manoeuvring, good handling and comfort for active driving fun. 

Launched in Malaysia November last year, the ASX is powered by a 2.0-liter engine which uses a lightweight aluminium block for optimum performance as it puts out 150PS to take control of city streets.
