Design, Dimensions and Practicality
The 2025 Mitsubishi ASX continues with compact SUV proportions measuring around 4,365 mm long, 1,810 mm wide, and 1,640 mm tall, with a wheelbase of approximately 2,670 mm. The boot capacity reaches about 416 litres with the seats up and expands to 1,193 litres with the rear seats folded, making it competitive in the segment across all markets. Front passenger space is considered generous, although rear headroom can be restricted in versions fitted with a panoramic roof. In Europe this is noted more often due to the popularity of panoramic options, while in Australia buyers focus more on standard practicality rather than optional roof equipment.
Engines, Performance and Efficiency
The ASX is sold globally with two petrol engine choices: a 2.0L four-cylinder and, on higher trims in Australia, a 2.4L MIVEC petrol engine producing more power. The 2.0L engine produces around 150 horsepower and is paired with a 5-speed manual or a CVT automatic transmission depending on trim, while the 2.4L is offered exclusively with CVT. Fuel consumption for the 2.0L is recorded at 7.6-7.9 L/100 km in combined driving, with a 63-litre fuel tank giving an effective range of up to 830 km. Drivers in Europe often comment on the modest acceleration of the 2.0L version, which feels less responsive at lower revs, whereas Australian buyers tend to value the long-distance fuel range more due to regional driving conditions. In both markets, motorway driving highlights noticeable cabin noise and suspension firmness over uneven surfaces.
Equipment and Features
All trims come equipped with an 8-inch infotainment system, wired Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, LED daytime running lights, and a reversing camera as standard equipment. Moving up the range adds 18-inch alloy wheels, climate control, fog lights, rain-sensing wipers, rear parking sensors, and automatic high-beam headlights. The ES Street package introduces visual enhancements such as a blacked-out front spoiler, skid plates, decals, and leather-trimmed gear shifter details. In Europe, emphasis is placed on advanced driver-assistance features such as blind-spot monitoring, while in Australia the standout advantage is the warranty program, which can extend to 10 years or 200,000 km if serviced at official dealerships. Average servicing costs in Australia amount to about AUD 502 annually, with a capped-price program reaching AUD 5,020 over 10 years.
Market Comparison and Positioning
The ASX is priced competitively in the UK and Europe, between £22,000 and £30,000 depending on trim, while in Australia it ranges from AUD 24,490 for the GS manual to AUD 35,240 for the Exceed with the 2.4L engine. The model is not officially sold in the United States, leaving Mitsubishi to focus instead on models like the Outlander, Eclipse Cross, and its electrified lineup. The consistent strengths across all available markets are practicality, fuel range, and generous warranty coverage, while common drawbacks are modest engine performance, noise levels at higher speeds, and reduced rear headroom in panoramic-roof versions. This combination makes the ASX a practical, warranty-strong choice in Australia and Europe, though rivals may attract buyers seeking greater performance or refinement, and its absence from the U.S. market limits its global reach.
