With competitive equipmentlevels and relaxed drivingposition, Mitsubishi ASXoffers more than sufficientresponsiveness androadholding for a familyvehicle

MITSUBISHI’S visibility isphenomenal. For a manufac-turer with a limited presence

in the UK, its vehicles havehuge presence on the road.T h e di st i n ct i ve t r a i t o f ahuge, aggressive grille meansMitsubishi's passenger carscan be recognised from somedistance.

T h e ASX – i t st a n ds f o rActive Sports Crossover –

uses the Jet Fighter grille,sloping bonnet profile andangular front light units togreat effect. The flared archesand sweeping line along theprofile to the rear lights alsohelp give it a more insistentpresence.

Two and four-wheel driveplus three trim levels offers areasonable degree of choice,bu t t h e o pt i o n o f a si n g l e

diesel and single petrol unitseems a little restrictive atfirst.

Fortunately this isn’t thecase. With a stop-start systema c r oss t h e r a n ge a sma l lengine line-up can deliverboth the economy and perfor-mance required.

The 1.8-litre turbochargeddiesel unit offers ar e sp e ct a bl e 1 4 8b h p a n d221lb/ft of torque, with CO2

emissions pegged at 145g/kmfor the two-wheel drive plat-f or m t ha t t he c om pa nyex pec t s t o be va st l y mo r epopular than the four-wheeldrive variant, with 150g/kmemissions.

Performance from the 1.6-litre, 115bhp petrol is lessbr i sk, bu t emi ssi o n s a r e

135g/km–

a better perfor-mance against its equivalentcompetitors than the diesel.

On the road, the diesel does-n't lag behind its rivals.

The model rides very com-fortably and competently,while offering more than suf-ficient responsiveness androadholding for a family vehi-cle.

diesel currently averag-ing 4.1p per litre morethanpetrol.

The engine achieves theimprovements in powerand economy through aseries of measures toimprove efficiency. Directinjection, valve timingcontrol with eco mode,improved exhaust gasrecirculation, speciallyshaped pistons and ahigher compression ratioensure the most power isextracted from every

drop of fuel.To reduce inefficient

power loss within theengine operating systemthe Miller Cycle is incor-porated. By allowing theinlet valve to stay openlonger, along with a high-er compression ratio, thec ompressi on st ro k ebecomes more efficient.

More energy is saved byusing an intelligent alter-

nator which rechargesthe battery when theengine power is not indemand, such as underbraking. A stop / startfunction also helps toreduce emissions and fuelconsumption by automat-ically turning off theengine whilst stationaryand restarts again whenyou are ready tomoveoff.The amount of CO2 savedduring stop / start is dis-played on the dashboard.

The engine is available

as a 5-speed manual orwith an optionaladvanced CVT automaticgearbox for an additional£1,000.

Competitive insurancegroup ratings for the DIG-S has been set at 8E forthe Visia and 9E for theAcenta and Tekna grades,based on the Associationof British Insurers (ABI)50 group rating system.
