The Mitsubishi ASX 2023 premiered in Europe as a compact crossover offering ICE, hybrid and PHEV variants. Sales begin in March 2023.
The ASX sports a very sculpted exterior style. Up front, the vehicle’s grille has bracket-shaped trim, and the headlights are intricately shaped with hook-shaped running lights below the headlights. The crossover comes in six colors, and the top-level trim is available with a black roof.

Depending on the trim level, the ASX cabin can look very different. The entry-level model gets an analog instrument cluster with a 4.2-inch screen between gauges. There’s also a 7.0-inch digital instrument display or a 10.25-inch version for the tallest models.
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 Apple CarPlay and wireless Android Auto.
The ASX rides on the Renault-Nissan-Mitsubishi Alliance CMF-B platform. Five powertrains are available. The table below lists the specifications for each:

Higher level trims get blind spot assistance, active lane departure warning, and speed warning. The range-topping models come with adaptive cruise control and active track-following assistance.
Mitsubishi has yet to offer pricing details for the new ASX. Expect those details to arrive closer to the crossover’s launch.
