The 2019 Mitsubishi ASX

Australia’s most popular small SUV range – the Mitsubishi ASX – has been reconfigured for 2019.

For the updated model year, the ASX will be exclusively powered by a 2.0-litre 4-cylinder MIVEC petrol engine and adopt 2WD across the range.  Mitsubishi will also refine the ASX model line-up by offering three specification levels; ES, LS and Exceed.

An optional ADAS safety pack is also available on ES and is generously equipped with Blind Spot Warning (BSW), Lane Change Assist (LCA) and Rear Cross Traffic Alert (RCTA), Lane Departure Warning (LDW) and Forward Collision Mitigation (FCM), along with reversing sensors, dusk sensing headlamps and rain sensing wipers. Exterior features include front fog lamps and door mirrors with side turn lamps. The ASX ES optioned with Advanced Driver Assist Systems (ADAS) will have a recommended retail pricing of $26,990.

Moving up the range, the LS features smart key with one-touch start, FCM and LDW along with auto high beam and privacy glass.  Exterior stying is enhanced with two-tone 18-inch alloy wheels whilst the interior boasts microsuede seats and leather-look bolsters.

ASX Exceed is fitted with BSW, LCA and RCTA in addition to key features including panoramic glass roof with LED mood lighting, leather seat facings and heated front seats.

MMAL CEO John Signoriello said ASX is the cornerstone of Mitsubishi’s SUV line-up and leads the market in its combination of stylish looks, outstanding value and compact SUV practicality.

“ASX is a perennial favourite with SUV shoppers so we’ve taken the time to introduce meaningful improvements without altering ASX’s winning formula,” he said.

“As such, we’ve sharpened ASX’s value proposition by introducing a new entry-level ES range – complete with ADAS safety option.

“We’re confident buyers will agree the ASX range is even more attractive with Mitsubishi’s 2019 updates.”

The 2019 ASX range is available at Mitsubishi dealers with Recommended Retail Pricing starting from $23,490 for the manual ASX ES.
