2023 Mitsubishi ASX Debuts With Five Powertrain Tunes To Pick From
The 2023 Mitsubishi ASX premieres in Europe as a compact crossover offering ICE, hybrid, and PHEV variants. Sales begin in March 2023.
The ASX wears heavily sculpted exterior styling. In front, the vehicle's grille has bracket-shaped trim, and the headlights have a complicated shape with hook-shaped running lights below the main lamps. The crossover comes in six colors, and upper-level trims are available with a black roof.
Depending on the trim level, the Mitsubishi ASX's cabin can look very different. The entry-level model gets an analog instrument cluster with a 4.2-inch screen between the gauges. There's also a 7.0-inch digital instrument display or a 10.25-inch version for the range-topping model.
The standard infotainment screen measures 7.0 inches and has a landscape layout. As an upgrade, there's a 9.3-inch, portrait layout display that supports wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.
The ASX rides on the Renault-Nissan-Mitsubishi Alliance CMF-B platform. Five powertrains are available. The table below lists the specs for each of them:
| Engine | Horsepower | Torque | Battery Capacity | Electric-Only Range In Combined Category |
| 1.0-Liter Three-Cylinder Six-Speed Manual | 90 HP (67 kW) | 118 LB-FT (160 Nm) | N/A | N/A |
| 1.3-Liter Four-Cylinder Mild Hybrid Six-Speed Manual | 138 HP (103 kW) | 192 LB-FT (260 Nm) | N/A | N/A |

For safety, all models of the Mitsubishi ASX get emergency brake assist, lane departure warning, traffic sign recognition, and parking assist. Higher-level trims gain blind spot assist, active lane departure warning, and speed alert. Range-topping models come with adaptive cruise control and active lane-following assist.
Mitsubishi isn't yet offering pricing details for the new ASX. Expect those details to arrive closer to the crossover's launch.
