On April 24, Mitsubishi Motors announced that it has premiered the new ASX, a compact SUV for the European market, with a refreshed dynamic front face, enhanced connectivity and safety. The new model will be available in selected European markets from June.

The ASX is a two-row, five-seat compact SUV based on the Renault-Nissan-Mitsubishi Alliance CMF-B platform and supplied by Renault. The new ASX will be manufactured at Renault’s Valladolid plant in Spain starting in May.

The ASX's cabin is newly equipped with a Smartphone-link Display Audio (SDA) with a 10.4-inch display. It is also the first Mitsubishi model with Google built-in connected service. A newly developed My Mitsubishi Motors mobile app is adopted as well. Safety features like the Park Assist, Around View Monitor and active safety systems such as the Rear Cross Traffic Alert (RCTA) is also available.

The new ASX comes in a full hybrid (HEV) model, a mild hybrid model, and a gasoline model. The HEV model brings together a 1.6-liter gasoline engine, two electric motors (an alternator-starter and a main motor), an automatic, multi-mode gearbox, and a 1.2 kWh battery. There is also a new E-SAVE mode for driving while saving the battery’s charge for later use. The mild hybrid model combines a 1.3-liter direct injection turbo with a 6-speed manual transmission or a 7-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission, and the gasoline model is available with a 1.0-liter turbocharged gasoline engine and a 6- speed manual transmission.
