Onroad Offroad place is the new foreign exchange at Mitsubishi. Thus, the new compact SUV
Mitsubishi ASX does not rely on robust terrain virtues, but on a road-style. The available with front-or all-wheel drive five-door version comes on 20 June at prices starting from € 20 990 with a 110 kW/150 hp engine on the market. In autumn, available only with front-wheel drive petrol engine with 86 kW/117 hp for the following 17 990 €.
With 4.30 meters, 1.77 meters wide and 1.62 meters height, the dimensions of the
ASX are similar to those of his main competitor,
Nissan Qashqai. From the front of the newcomer is distinguished by the huge grille to little more from the
Mitsubishi Outlander - no wonder the two share but 70 percent of all components. From big brother and the long wheelbase of 2.67 meters is. The
ASX is, however, shorter by 35 inches and lighter than the Outlander with a curb weight from 1350 pounds depending on the version and around 300 kilograms.
The chassis of the relatively firm, but not uncomfortable sprung Japanese with McPherson struts in front and multi-link rear suspension has been retuned. Even the diesel for the optional all-wheel drive comes from the Outlander. An electronically controlled multi-plate clutch, the torque depending on surface and driving conditions of the front wheels will be piped to a ratio of 50:50 at the rear axle. The driver can by using the rotary knob in the center console of three modes: Choose pure front-wheel drive, 4WD auto variable power distribution and the mode 4WD Lock, is in the sent for the maximum traction generally 1.5 times in torque to the rear axle.
A world first from the start of the available 1.8-liter common-rail turbo diesel offers 110 kW/150 hp. As the first diesel in a passenger car, the engine has a variable valve timing on the intake side. Advantage is an extremely low compression ratios, resulting in lower consumption and greater CO2 levels. The general lack of a six-speed manual transmission coupled four-cylinder diesel will be content in the fuel consumption of 5.5 liters per 100 kilometers, while the performance figures are quite at the level of a 2.0-liter engine. The acceleration from zero to 100 km / h takes 9.7 seconds, top speed is 200 km / h.
On the first test miles in a pre-production, the acoustically unobtrusive unit proved to be agile and Sustained; the maximum torque of 300 Nm is available at 2000 rpm available. The engine was later used in the midrange model Mitsubishi Lancer and a 2.2-liter version in the Outlander. For the ASX is planned in the coming year, a less powerful version with 85 kW/116 hp. Already in September, alternatively, a 1.6-liter four-cylinder gasoline engine with 86 kW/117 hp is available. He will initially be available only with front wheel drive and five-speed manual transmission.
Far behind the soaring tailgate a load volume of 416 liters is available. By comparison, the Nissan Qashqai offers 410 liters, 470 liters of the Volkswagen
Tiguan. The 40:60 split rear seat back the money can be folded down to the front.
The extensive standard equipment of the basic version includes seven airbags including driver's knee airbag, the Electronic stability control, manual air conditioning, electric windows, electrically adjustable and heated outside mirrors, central locking and radio-CD-MP3 system.
Around 2000 € extra charge there is in the higher trim line including an automatic climate control, cruise control, fog lamps, light and rain sensor and 16-inch wheels.
In view of the continuing trend in compact crossover vehicles and the attractive pricing of the ASX, this seems to be an unrealistic goal. Competitive threat, but now from the house. For analog to cooperate with the PSA group in 2012 Outlander will also save an appropriate model of Peugeot and Citroen enter based on the ASX.
