Mitsubishi ASX Specifications Weight. Technical characteristics of Mitsubishi ASX. Suspension and steering system

External design, interior design

In such a car as Mitsubishi ASX, specifications deserve special attention, but consider for a general presentation first its design and look into the salon. The main thing is that it is worth noting, it is absolutely new for the Mitsubishi color palette of 8 colors.

For this model, the company specially developed an exclusive color - turquoise-blue (Kawasemi Blue).

The lower part of the bumpers and the threshings are not painted in the color of the case, which creates an additional longitudinal line and indicates a sports style of the car. The Outlander XL platform was taken as the basis of Mitsubishi ASX, while retaining the width of the wheelbase of 2670 mm, which, with such compact sizes for the crossover, it is quite amazing. From Outlander, the car got a suspension, however, given a much smaller mass of ASX, the rigidity at riding has greatly decreased.

On ASX used absolutely new front optics with xenon lamps, the lighting angle is 160 degrees. The rear headlamps are originally lined up in a horizontal line. Very organically fit into the overall image of large rearview mirrors, which are equipped with additional rotary signals. Applied 17-inch cast wheeled discs from aluminum visually increase the crossover. It is also worth noting a fairly large volume of the Mitsubishi ASX trunk, which makes up 415 liters. In addition, it has a subwoofer and a full-sized spare wheel specially used in ASX modifications supplied to the Russian market. The size of the loading opening is quite large, while the optimal angle of lifting the rear door does not reduce them.

In the Mitsubishi ASX salon, the dashboard attracts special attention, in particular the seven-inch navigator display, which displays the main control functions and the translating image from the rear view camera. In addition, it is equipped with a rather bright and simultaneously soft backlight.

Salon in Mitsubishi ASX is very spacious, which made it possible to place in it quite wide seats, while leaving a wide space between them. The salon is also decorated with a panoramic transparent roof, which is closed with a curtain with an electric drive. Comfortable temperature in the cabin maintains climate control with intuitive control.

Unlike other cars previously produced by Mitsubishi, the steering wheel in ASX is adjustable not only on the angle of inclination, but also by departure, which makes it possible to build the position of the steering wheel and the seat under any driver.

Motor Variations, Transmission

Consider in Mitsubishi ASX technical characteristics to begin with a review of the crossover force aggregates. Modification of a crossover with front-wheel drive is available with an engine, a volume of 1.6 liters capable of developing power in 117 horsepower. Such an engine is equipped only with a manual gearbox. Completed car with such a motor will be the most accessible. Also, an engine is available for the front drive, the volume of which is 1.8 liters, and the most developed power equals 140 horsepower. Such an aggregate is equipped with a stepless transmission, which is also characteristic of the most powerful version of Mitsubishi ASX, namely equipped with a 2.0-liter engine capable of developing power in 150 horsepower. Equipped with such a modification, of course, a complete drive.

The Mitsubishi ASX diesel model is not supplied to Russia, so all the power units available in our country are petrol.

In Mitsubishi ASX, there are active and passive security systems in sufficient quantities, which characterizes it as a high-end car. So, in ASX - whole seven airbags, including a small pad for drivers' knees. In addition, the machine is equipped with an emergency braking system and a driver assistance system when starting on a steep rise. Also, the braking system is equipped with an anti-lock wheel system, the electronic distribution system of brake force and the regenerative braking system. In addition, the car is equipped with a course stability system, which is developed on a patented company algorithm.

The most affordable modification of Mitsubishi ASX is a complete set with a 1.6 liter "Inform" engine, the price of which starts from 750,000 rubles. For ASX with an engine 1.8 liters of configuration "Invite" it will be necessary to pay from 930,000 rubles. Well, the most affordable Mitsubishi ASX with full-wheel drive, the volume of 2.0 liters and the configuration "Intense" is sold at a price of 1 million 90 thousand rubles.

Specifications of the updated Mitsubishi ASX

A little about the appearance and interior design

Not so long ago, it became known about the implementation of a minor restyling Mitsubishi ASX, as a result of which the crossover received a new finish of some elements of the cabin, as well as minor refinement of external design.

In general, the ASX abbreviation sounds in full view as Active Sport X-Over, translated into Russian - "Crossover for an active ride." Thus, the Creator expressed the main concept on which the developers were focused when creating a car.

Following such a guideline can be traced in the external design of the car. The new Mitsubishi ASX is dynamic and contemporary, and in some elements it looks like a full-fledged powerful SUV, intended for movement of truly off-road.

The changes, first of all, touched the bumpers, while the most noticeable transformations were subjected to the front bumper, which now looks more so, thanks to the elimination of a large lower contrasting insertion and update the formation of fog headlights. Some transformations are the drawing of the radiator grille. In addition, a large number of chrome details appeared in appearance, which added elegance and style crossover.

As for the inner design of the cabin, there are much less changes here. The salon is also five-seater, elements on the dashboard are also located. Well, the most significant transformations are a new steering wheel, the use of more expensive and high-quality materials in the decoration. Just as in the appearance, many chrome inserts appeared inside, which are located on the door panels. In addition, the new ASX is equipped with an updated audio system and a new navigation device. In general, the interior of the Mitsubishi ASX new model range retained inherent in the past generation excellent ergonomics and high level of comfort.

Engine, Transmission and Fuel Expenses

In our country, the Mitsubishi ASX crossover is a new generation, as before, is offered exclusively with gasoline engines, while in Europe and the US are also available versions with a diesel engine.

The diesel power unit was decided not to deliver to Russia and the CIS countries due to poor quality of diesel fuel, which for a very short time can lead the engine into disrepair.

However, the ASX gasoline engines line is quite extensive and includes three motor capable of satisfying any customer requests:

1. A four-cylinder engine designed in 2004, but has been subjected to some changes since then. This unit on the basis of a solo-aluminum block is designed and equipped with a distributed injection system. It is also characterized by a chain drive with two camshafts. The main indicators of this engine are as follows:

• Working volume of 1.6 liters, allowing to develop power up to 117 hp at 6100 rpm;
• The peak of the torque at such a motor is 154 nm at 4000 rpm, which contributes to the acceleration of the car to 183 km / h, and also allows you to accelerate to 100 km / h in 11.4 seconds;
• Compliance with the requirements of European standards, which contributes to its economy. Thus, the average fuel consumption in the urban cycle is close to 7.8 liters, outside the city fuel costs are reduced to 5.0 liters, and with a mixed cycle, the car consumes about 6.1 liters of fuel.

2. Four-cylinder power unit made of aluminum and equipped with a distributed injection system, camshafts and electronic gas distribution phase system. Main working indicators:

• Working volume of 1.8 liters capable of developing maximum power in 140 hp at 6000 rpm;
• The maximum torque is 177 nm at 4200 rev / min, which promotes Mitsubishi ASX to develop the maximum speed of 186 km / h and perform acceleration to 100 km / h in 13.1 seconds;
• Compliance with environmental standards at gasoline consumption within the city of about 9.8 liters. Over the city, consumption is reduced to 6.4 liters of fuel, and with a mixed ride mode, fuel consumption will be approximately 7.6 liters.

3. Well, finally, the main gasoline engine for Mitsubishi ASX is selected, the operating volume of four cylinders of which is increased to 2.0 liters. Such an aggregate are inherent in the following main characteristics:

• power in 150 hp at 6000 rpm;
• the maximum torque is 197 nm at 4200 rpm;
• the ability to accelerate to the maximum speed of 188 km / h, and to a speed of 100 km / hour, acceleration is carried out in 11.9 seconds;
• due to the fact that such a motor is installed for ASX modifications with a full drive, it is not economical. So, 6.8 liters will consume fuel on the track, 10.5 liters in the city ride mode and 8.1 liters with a mixed cycle.

The junior power unit is equipped with a manual gearbox with five steps. And two other motor are equipped with a stepless automatic transmission. The automatic full drive system includes only versions with an engine, 2.0 liters. The rest of the engines are equipped with front-drive modifications.

Safety, configuration and prices

In the new Mitsubishi ASX, some characteristics of the suspension were modified, the quality of which was approached by the level of Outlander, which contributed to the improvement of the driving challenges of the crossover. Also, the car was equipped with more rigid front levers and new shock absorbers who were subjected to additional settings. McPherson racks and a transverse stability stabilizer are used in the front, and a multi-dimensional suspension system is used in the rear. In addition, all the wheels are equipped with designers of a ventilated brake system with discs, the diameter of which is 16 inches.

The steering wheel is equipped with a roll-type mechanism that is complemented by a modern electric power. In the car of Mitsubishi ASX, the technical characteristics - clearance in particular, the claimed in the amount of 195 mm fully corresponded to reality. As the vehicle test drives are shown - just such a distance to the Earth from the lowest elements of the car. In addition, in many places the road clearance reaches 200 mm.

The updated Mitsubishi ASX is offered on the Russian market in a very wide range of complete sets:

• Models with a junior engine can have three types of configuration: "Inform", the cost of which will be 729,000 rubles, "Invite" worth 759,990 rubles and "Intense" for 809,990 rubles.
• The engine with a volume of 1.8 liters is equipped with the configuration "Invite", "Intense" and "InStyle". The price will be from 829,990 to 949,990 rubles.
• The engine capacity of 2.0 liters provides even more options for configuration, "Ultimate" and "Exclusive" adds above here. The price of the crossover, of course, increases and will be about 959,990 rubles, and 1,229,000 rubles will be required for maximum exclusive equipment.

However, these prices are relevant solely for car models painted in the base white color. The choice of any other color provides for an additional payment of 11,000 rubles.

Fashion for parquet SUVs without frame design is actively developing from 2007-2008, and soon there has been demand for people who do not leave the city's limits. But in urban environments, large cars are not in honor and manufacturers offered compact and sub-compact crossovers specifically for residents of megacities.

It is in order to fill this niche Mitsubishi released the ASX crossover. For the first time the concept of the model appeared in 2007 under the name Concept-CX. Already at that time, the model looked like a serial, but the financial and economic crisis has slightly changed the plans, and the serial model itself debuted only in 2010 in Geneva called ASX. The Japanese of course wizards can dust into the eyes and invent loud names and the ASX abidature is decrypted as Active Sport X-Over - a parckarter for an active ride, but still it is worth saying that Mitsubishi ASX technical characteristics really don't give a already small competitors to compare with him.

Geometric car indicators

As a true ASX citizen has a very compact dimension:

• length 4295 mm
• width of 1770 mm
• height 1625 mm
• clearance 195 mm
• wheel base - 2670 mm
• the volume of the luggage compartment is impressive 415 liters
• tank volume - 63 l
• mass in an unloaded state - 1300 kg,
• full weight - 1870 kg.

After a cosmetic update, which took place in 2013, the main dimensions did not change. The luggage compartment has become a little less than - 384 liters (1219 liters with folded reverse seats) and the volume of the fuel tank has decreased to 60 liters. In addition, the front and rear bumpers were changed, more chromium appeared, and the geometry of the radiator lattice has changed.

Changes in technical terms: shock absorbers were reconfigured, the sleeves-silent blocks were replaced and levers with increased rigidity were introduced. The manual brake mechanism is now integrated into the brake caliper of one of the rear wheels. Changes in the suspension were produced due to customer feedback. Mitsubishi puts a big bet on our market and in order to update the model to Russia, engineers of the brand communicate with owners and a focus group arrived.

In the car, the shape of the selection of the transmission mode was changed, the navigation system was upgraded - now it supports SD memory cards.

Despite its compactness, ASX is built on a completely adult platform that has passed a lot of tests and put on the lancer of the last generation and now not produced by Outlander XL.

Engines and gearboxes

On the Russian market, the model, both before the update and after it was supplied with three gasoline units:

• 1.6 liters, with a capacity of 117 hp and torque 154 nm at 4 thousand rpm. This engine can be described as calm, with the mass of the car, it goes not quickly - up to 100 km / h, the speedometer arrows will rise in 11.4 seconds. But the motor is fully economical and consumes about 8 liters in urban mode and 6.1 liters in the mode of the track. Developed this engine was together with the Daimler concern and was installed on Mitsubishi Colt back in 2004. A five-speed mechanical gearbox was established in a pair with this power unit.
• 1.8 liters with a capacity of 140 hp (143 hp for Europe). The torque was 177 nm at 4250 rpm. This unit was developed in conjunction with Hyundai and Crysler and although he was more powerful than the base engine, but could not boast of the same dynamics. Acceleration up to 100 km / h is a long 13.1 seconds, and 100 km of maintenance of 9.8 liters care (6.4 liters per highway). Motor capabilities are cut due to a non-alternative variator transmission. Undoubtedly, such a transmission has its advantages - amazing smoothness, but it has to pay for mediocre dynamics with a fairly powerful motor. Another plus of the variator is its reliability, subject to regular oil replacement.
• 2.0 liters - the most powerful motor for ASX in our market, outstanding 150 hp and 197 nm of torque. The names of this version have a four-wheel drive, combined everything with the same variator. Before "Hundred", the car accelerates 11.9 seconds and consumes 10.5 liters in the city and 8.1l on the track.
• due to the high demands for diesel fuel, one of the most interesting power units is not supplied to our country: 1.8 liters with a capacity of 150 hp. and torque in 300 nm. This is the most sold engine at ASX in Europe, by virtue of its excellent dynamic and performance characteristics.

Complete drive system

Mitsubishi's company is not the first year to produce SUVs and therefore, Mitsubishi AEX, technical characteristics resemble senior models of the brand.

In the case of ASX, there is one of the key features of the full drive - the ability to switch modes. Even larger and expensive crossovers do not provide the owner of the possibility of choosing a drive, the electronics fills everything. But compact ASX is not such, at its discretion, the owner may include the following modes:

• Mode "Auto", which allows you to leave everything to the bumping computer.
• The mode of inclusion of an exceptional front drive for moving on good roads, which allows you to save fuel.
• The 4x4 Lock mode that allows you to overcome all sorts of obstacles there, and in which the rear-wheel drive is connected forced, and does not turn on when the front wheels slip.

ASX configuration

Please choose a set of ASX will not be much difficulty for a wide variety of budgets, the price range of the model is from 699,000 p to 1 249,900 p. 12 different components of the model fit in this price variation.

Also appear fog lights, alloy wheels, roof rails, trimmed with leather steering wheel and pen pen and color display on the dashboard.

The configuration for the version with a 1.8 liter motor generally staffed in a similar way on the increasing, as well as the younger version with a 1.6 liter engine, but everyone has a variator:

• Inform 2WD - 849 990 p. In addition to the basic elements of the version with a smaller engine, includes: a system of dynamic stabilization, a motion assistance system on a climb, stealing virtual gear petals, heated front seats and an audio system with 4 speakers.
• Invite 2 WD - 899 990 p. Compared to 1.6 INVITE 2 WD supplemented with the following elements: System of course stability and anti-slip system, Assistance system when driving, passenger and driver side airbags, security curtains for both rows, driver's cushion, PTF, alloy wheeled Discs, roof rails, steering wheel petals, leather trim and knobs KP, color display on dashboard.
• Intense 2 WD - 969 990 p. From the younger version in the same configuration, the presence of the following elements is distinguished by the following elements: the system of coursework and anti-slip system, the movement assistant to the rise, the electrical drive of the rear-view mirror with integrated turn signals, toned windows, stealing gearboxes, cruise control, leather trim , Electro-drive of a driver's seat, a lamp for the rear passengers, an audio system with a 6-tide speakers, a USB connector, a rear view camera, a rain and light sensor, climate control.

The configuration with a 2-liter engine is equipped with only a variator and connected full drive. A total of 4 versions of this configuration are sold, the first three (from 979 990 to 1,099,990 p) are accuracy as the version with a 1.8 liter engine, but there is another version, with the most complete optional set:

• Exclusive 4WD worth 1 249 990 P, which includes: xenon headlights with an automotive-corrector, alloy 17th discs with a similar gala, Rockford FostGate audio system with 8 speakers and a subwoofer, navigation system, a non-key interconnect system and a panoramic glass roof.

Conclusion

It is not surprising that ASX is very popular with domestic buyers, according to the technical characteristics of Mitsubishi AFC clearance, 198 mm, which is simply an outstanding result for a compact crossover. From direct competitors, it is possible to single out that Skoda Yeti and Opel Mokka, but neither the other will not be able to extend off-road abilities with it and do not possess such an impressive road lumen. ASX is well for sale not only in our country, but also in Europe. Seeing this state of affairs, allies in the Alliance from Peugeot and Citroen even made their crossovers based on ASX: Peugeot 4008 and Citroen C4 Aircross.

Despite the fact that Restyling Mitsubishi ASX renovation, for the most part, are cosmetic, the car looks extremely interesting investment, as it offers a wide range of equipment at moderate cost. The same, who likes the model, but I want an updated design and a new filling, it is worth waiting for the next ASX generation, which should be debuted until 2020.

Mitsubishi ASX - front-or all-wheel drive SUV subcompact class, provoking on "active actions": ASX abbreviation is not different as " A.cTIVE S.port. X.-Over ", that is, the" crossover for a dynamic driving "...

This is a "purebred Japanese", combining the qualities of a small SUV and family hatchback and addressed, first of all, residents of large cities that want to get "universal transport": and for movement in urban environments, and for traveling long distances, and For harsh on moderate off-road ...

At the heart of Mitsubishi ASX lies the "front-wheel drive" platform called GS (also known as Project Global) with the carrier body structure, in the power structure of which high-strength steel grades are quite widely used.

This "trolley" is still familiar to such models of the brand as Lancer and Outlander, and it was designed in the early 2000s in close cooperation with Daimlerchrysler.

Safety

Despite the fact that the crossover is based far from the world's most recent platform, it is not bad for security, for example, in 2011, during crash tests on the European NCAP technique, the car earned the maximum "5 stars", demonstrating a good level of security and For their inhabitants, and for pedestrians.

But for the sake of fairness it is worth noting that in 2018 Mitsubishi ASX was tested by the US Road Security Institute (IIHS), having failed there one of the most stringent tests - a windshield collision with a small overlap (25%) from the passenger side.

In general, Mitsubishi surprisingly ignored the segment of compact crossovers, not paying attention to his rapid growth, the Japanese decided to "bite their piece of cake" from this market only when competitors were not just settled here, and all possible "niche" filled.

But, as they say, "it's better late than ever" - the world premiere of this SUV (as the concept of "Concept-CX") took place in the fall of 2007 - on the stands of the International Frankfurt Motor Show ...

• 
  Concept-CX.
• 
  Concept-CX.
• 
  Concept CX.

At the same time, the appearance of his serial version had to wait almost three years - at home, called Mitsubishi RVR, this Parquetnik made his debut in February 2010, and next month to the Motor Show in Geneva, the car appeared in Geneva European Specification ASX Abbreviation ...

In the future, for his many years of "career", the sortier managed to survive four updates:

• The first of which happened in the spring of 2013 - then the exterior was then sent a slightly slightly (changing the bumper, the lattice of the radiator and lighting), made small refinement to the salon and reconfigured the rear suspension (in favor of manageability and comfort).
• The next, the second in the account, restyling oven car in November 2015. This time he cost without any technical metamorphosis - a subcompact crossover made "plastic face" (rebuilding it under the X-shaped style) and made new strokes in the decoration (like a glossy insertion on the steering wheel, other seat upholstery and a new multimedia complex).
• In April 2017, the Japanese re-updated their "SUV-baby", restricted by "low blood" - he a little corrected appearance (recycling the grille and rear bumper) and separated the new (not affordable before) equipment.
• In February 2019, the car for the fourth time suffered a "face lift" - the car completely changed the front part (giving it the features of the corporate identity of Dynamic Shield), a little corrected the stern and made light edits into the interior of the media center, while expanding to eight inches Its functional).

If you are frank, then from the moment of the birth of Mitsubishi ASX acted as a pursuer, because the guys from the Japanese company have repeatedly cut down that they would not bother to release something like that, especially against the background of success of other subcompact crossovers.

Nevertheless, they "got exactly for sure" - because Could create a kind of strong balanced "middle pea" in a highly competitive segment ... In addition, the "Japanese pedigree" and "purebred assembly" in the country of the rising sun (but it is worth noting that from 2013 to 2015 cars were supplied to Russia from the USA) ...

Competitors

In the Russian market at ASX - a bunch of competitors (and subcompact, and compact SUV) can be attributed here, namely:

• Nissan Qashqai and Terrano,
• Hyundai Creta,
• Renault Duster and Kaptur,
• Subaru XV,
• Suzuki Vitara and SX4,
• Jeep Renegade
• Kia Sportage ...

In this list, you can include other parquets offered in our country exclusively in front-wheelwater modifications, such as Kia Soul and Nissan Juke ...

Exterior

One of the trump cards Mitsubishi ASX is like his appearance, since, unlike some crossover competitors, it is more like a "classic SUV" and is definitely not perceived as a "female car" (even despite its dimensions).

From what an angle do not look - the five-year looks attractive and balanced: in front of it in a literal sense exudes aggression, and in the profile and with the rear "flaunt" with sudden outlines.

• 
  2010-2013
• 
  2010-2013
• 
  2013-2015
• 
  2013-2015

Identify the very first copies of the car extremely simple - its "face" is made in the style called "Jet Fighter", exposing the pile of the predatory sewing of the head optics and a trapezoid shield of the radiator grid with a chrome edge.

Well, finally, the ASX 2020 model year can boast an even more spectacular "face", drawn in the "family" direction of the Japanese brand called "Dynamic Shield", - Fear of the car shows a shrill gaze of narrow lighting of a spray, massive radiator grille and an impressive bumper, dyed with sharp Circums and brutal items.

In general, Mitsubishi ASX has a truly balanced and even "unisexual" appearance, in which it is difficult to find contradictory solutions or to complain about something, but with all the "visual perfection", there is still lack of flaws:

• First, this crossover has a weak paint and varnish coating - because of which, during operation, chips and damage can quickly appear quickly (for this reason, the main risk areas are recommended for this reason).
• In addition, there are certain problems with corrosion resistance - for example, the seam on the lid of the trunk on the sides of the lights of the illumination of the number and the arches of the rear wings in a short time are covered with "Ryzhiki".
• There are a number of problems and with glasses: if the lobovik is too gentle and subject to chips, then the side windows of the front doors in the open position are able to annoy the rattling (though, such a problem is usually inherent in early instances).
• This car also has very broad front of the body racks, seriously limiting an overview when turning (the likelihood is great to unsubscribe a human road).

Dimensions

According to the outdoor dimensions of Mitsubishi ASX is a representative of the subcompact segment: its length is 4365 mm (of which the distance between the axes is estimated by 2670 mm), the width is laid in 1810 mm, and the height does not exceed 1640 mm.

The crossover ground clearance includes 195 mm, and the magnitude of the front and rear track is 1525 mm (in both cases).

Weight

The curved and complete mass of the crossover significantly depends on its version of the version:

Interior

The internal decoration of Mitsubishi ASX does not cause any special emotions - it looks like it is nice, but rather gloomy and boring, and indeed it is especially nothing to get a clinging to look.

• 
  2010-2013
• 
  2013-2015
• 
  2015-2017
• 
  2017-2019
• 
  2019-2020

Faweser with the organization of driver's social space, the crossover does not have any problems - in direct control of the "pilot" there are elegant and well-readable "tools" with a pair of large "wells" of the main appliances and a small display of the flightcomputer between them, as well as a three-spoke steering wheel.

It is worth noting here that in the initial configurations "Baranka" is perceived excessively budget (since there are no additional functions) and only in pre-assemblement, it acquires: pronounced tides in the region of the right grip, glossy decor and the control button of the audio system; Well, in the "top" modification becomes truly multifunctional.

In the "base", the central console repels its simplicity - it can only be contemplating a couple of symmetrical ventilation deflectors, a plastic plug on the site of the radio and three large "washers" of the climatic installation. In the versions of the "higher" on the torpedo, an imperious dual one of the radio tape recorder appears. And only in the "fidelled" configuration here "prescribed" a large LCD screen of the multimedia complex, a glossy lining and a little different "twist" of full climate control.

In general, the inner decoration of the five-year difference is quite well thought out ergonomics, normal finishing materials (although hard plastics are still dominated here) and the high level of assembly.

In addition to frankly boring design, there is at Mitsubishi ASX and a number of disadvantages and ergonomic misses (which are usually inherent in the "budget orientation" models):

• Medium sound insulation - too many extraneous sounds are seeping into the car's salon, especially through the wheeled arches and the luggage compartment.
• Uncomfortable buttons for the inclusion of heating front seats - they are at the very base of the central console.
• Climate control is deprived of its own (even monochrome) display, and for the inclusion of automatic mode, you must be transferred to the "AUTO" position at once two regulators.
• All buttons of electric windows - without backlighting and authorships.
• A four-wheel drive is controlled by a banal button, not a swivel "washer" (this "problem" appeared in the machine only after the first update).

According to the passport, the Mitsubishi ASX salon is able to accept the driver and four of his satellites, but in fact everything is a little different ...

Ergonomically integrated seats with well-developed side rollers, a comfortable pillow and wide adjustment intervals are assigned to the front seats.

At the same time, heating is already offered from the second rank of configuration, but the electric drive is prerogative only "top" performances.

The central armrest is relying to all versions without exception, but it is not configured in any of the directions and has too compact sizes.

The benefit of the sofa itself demonstrates the optimal shape and, regardless of the configuration, is equipped with three headrests (and, accordingly, three safety belts).

But it is worth noting that there are no additional amenities here as such, and the same central armrest with two cup holders appears only in the most expensive modification.

If we consider "dry" numbers, the situation of the Japanese crossover with internal capacity is as follows:

The trunk is definitely not the strong side of the Mitsubishi ASX - in the normal state the volume of the compartment is only 384 liters, while the protruding wheeled arches distort its shape slightly.

In addition, there are no hooks and grids here, and there are no shelves in the basic configuration (but in all other versions it is already available, and a regular subwoofer appears on the right board).

But not everything is so bad, as it seems at first glance - folded by two unequal sections in the ratio of "60:40" the rear sofa forms a practically even "rookery" and increases the useful capacity of up to 1219 liters, and a full-size spare wheel and the main The tool (neatly laid in the organizer from the foam).

Specifications

In the Russian market, Mitsubishi ASX can be found exclusively with gasoline engines - these are row four-cylinder "Atmospheric" MIVEC with a distributed fuel injection, 16-valve Type DOHC type with chain drive and electronically controlled gas distribution control system:

• motor working capacity of 1.6 liters (1590 cm³) generates 117 hp at 6100 rev / min and 154 nm of torque at 4000 rpm,
• 1.8-liter (1798 cm 3) Power unit issues 140 hp at 6000 rpm and 177 nm of torque at 4,200 rpm,
• engine 2.0 liters (1998 cm 3) is able to provide 150 hp At 6000 rev / minute and 197 nm of torque at 4,200 rpm.

Transmission

The "younger" motor is combined exclusively with a 5-speed manual transmission, while the remaining two is only relied by the stepless CVT variator of the Japanese company Jatco, which allows you to switch between six virtual transmissions in manual mode (both using the selector and using submissive petals. ).

Versions with 1.6- and 1.8-liter units are equipped with leading wheels of the front axle, while for the most powerful "atmospheric" is offered a non-alternative all-wheel drive transmission Multi-Select 4WD with an electronically controlled multi-disc coupling for connecting the rear axle and three modes of operation:

• 2wd. - The entire power reserve goes on the front wheels;
• 4WD. - torque is distributed between the axes in automatic mode, depending on the speed and traffic situation (at the same time, up to 50% of the thrust can be directed);
• Lock - Used to overcome complex obstacles, since the coupling in this case is blocked, and the potential is divided between the axes in equal shares (that is 50:50). In addition, the electronics mimics interstole blocking, slowing down this or that wheel with the help of pads.

Surprisingly, even with 1.6-liter "four" Mitsubishi ASX pleases a sufficiently perky dynamics, which is quite enough and in urban conditions, and on the track, and there is enough of a 2.0 liter engine a crossover in any situations. That's just the "intermediate" 1.8-liter unit - the choice of unhurried people, because it allows you to start cheerfully, but after 70-80 km / h, his impulse begins to "blur", and significantly.

If we talk about reliability as a whole, then this car can boast enough resource power units that are able to undergo at least 250 thousand km without any special problems (naturally, with proper and timely service).

True, almost every one of them has weaknesses:

• The basic engine is very advocated to the quality of the fuel - when using bad gasoline, problems are not excluded, especially on the cold. In addition, he can scare its owners by floating turnover and detonation, and the decision of this ailment is the reprogramming of "brains".
• Motor volume 1.8 liters often sin with increased noise of work.
• The most powerful version of some systematic complaints is not noted, except that when there are more than 100 thousand km runs, it may begin to demonstrate uneven work at idle (which is solved by cleaning the throttle).

It will not be further noted that at 1.8 and 2.0-liter "atmospheric" do not differ in the durability of plastic rollers of the attachment belt - as a rule, they require replacement every 60-70 thousand km.

The mechanical transmission on Mitsubishi ASX is difficult to name the problem:

• it pleases with clear and smooth switches;
• her reliability really deserves respect (perhaps only at large runs can leak the glands or buzz bearings, but these "sores" are not massive).

But the variator on the crossover is able to deliver a number of trouble, and the main one is overheating, especially under heavy load or in severe heat at temperatures above 30 ° C. In this case, it should be immediately stopped and continue only after cooling the lubricant.

In addition, serious climax with such a gearbox is better to overcome with acceleration, because otherwise the car can simply not cope with the task assigned to it.

Challenges

In general, Mitsubishi ASX differs really good geometric patency (angles of entry and the congress - 19.5 ° and 31 °, respectively, and ramps - 18 °), supported by an impressive road lumen.

In general, the car is able to go through deep moats or unstable coatings, but it is not necessary to get involved in the road:

• diagonal hanging can deliver a lot of problems due to insufficient suspension strokes,
• the clutch of the slope to overheating, even after a short slip of the wheels (it is necessary to cool it for at least five minutes).

As for the indicators of dynamics and efficiency, the Japanese SUV has the following indicators:

Suspension

And in front, and behind Mitsubishi ASX is equipped with independent suspensions:

• front design with McPherson depreciation racks and transverse stability stabilizer;
• rear is a multi-dimensional system with hydraulic shock absorbers and a transverse stability stabilizer.

The chassis pleases a good level of comfort and normal energy intensity - it confidently works out the overwhelming number of irregularities occurring on the roads. True, the larger the pit become, the more shocks come to the salon, the noise level increases.

When moving on good coatings, the car does not allow serious rolls and demonstrates the decent smoothness of the course, but at high speeds it does not shine stability (especially on roads with asphalt waves).

The suspension of this sacrifice is able to regularly serve at least 100 thousand km, without delivering any serious trouble. The most "weak link" in this case is the bushings of stabilizers: as a rule, the front assembly serves 40 thousand km, and the rear - 60 thousand km. At the same time, depreciation racks can "pass" about 150 thousand km, and the rear shock absorbers - and more.

It is important to note that such as described above, the car has become only passing through the first update (after which more dense shock absorbers - allowing it to get rid of excessive stamps and rigidity).

Mitsubishi ASX is equipped with a steering with a parement and electric amplifier, and on all its wheels, ventilated disc brakes are supplemented with modern electronics.

With the handle, this SUV does not have tangible problems - it has a measure of a sharp and rather informative "Barankaya", which after 60 km / h is "poured" with pleasant severity (but before this speed is "empty").

In general, on the road, the car behaves simply and understandable, and if necessary, it allows you to go even "with a light".

Everything is good in five-year and brakes - they allow her to confidently slow down from any speeds and on any road surface.

Configuration and prices

In the Russian market, Mitsubishi ASX is offered in four configurations to choose from - "Inform", "Invite", "Intense" and "InStyle" *.

The execution of "Invite" is also offered only with the "younger" engine at a price of 1,239,000 rubles, and its distinctive features are:

• Audio control buttons on the steering wheel;
• Leather trim and gearbox lever;
• Heated front seats;
• Curtain of the luggage compartment;
• Full tape recorder with four speakers and aux connector.

From the "Intense" version, the car is provided with both power units. For the front-wheel drive with a 1.6-liter "atmospheric" minimally asked 1,290,000 rubles, and boast (in addition to the above), it can:

• 16-inch alloy wheels;
• Roof rails;
• USB connector for connecting external gadgets;
• Electric folding mirrors;
• Integrated turn signs integrated into mirrors;
• LED DRL;
• Steel gearbox switches;
• Cruise control;
• Combined salon finish;
• Electric drive seater;
• Media center with a 7-inch screen;
• Audio system with six speakers;
• Invincible access and engine start;
• Sensors of light and rain.

* According to March 2019 (crossovers 2020 model year, if they get to Russia, then not earlier than the fall of 2019).

In general, Mitsubishi ASX is a rather balanced crossover, but it is aimed at urban operation or country warriors. Moreover, for these purposes, both the front-wheel drive versions with a 1.6-liter motor and all-wheel drive versions with an "atmospheric" on 2.0 liters are equally successful - in both cases, normal dynamics are provided in almost any conditions.

All the flour of choice is reduced only to two main aspects: if you want a more economical car, it is better to prefer a crossover with a "younger" motor, but if there is no desire to manually switch the transmissions - then with the "seniors".

Well, for lovers of "full minced" alternative, there is no alternative - only 2.0-liter "Four", only the variator and only four-wheel drive.

If a car is required for off-road (even moderate), the ASX is suitable for this not in the best way - neither the stepless gearbox nor the all-wheel drive transmission here cannot withstand serious loads, quickly overheating ... Therefore, it will have to either choose a small SUV of another brand or look towards more expensive Mitsubishi models.
