The 2024 model shows front design changes where the headlights have been redesigned and a larger, gloss black grille now features prominently. However, there are no notable changes on the sides of the vehicle. At the rear, the updated ASX displays Mitsubishi text across it and a blacked-out lower bumper, adding subtle distinctiveness compared to the Captur.
Inside, the ASX retains similar technology as before, with a 10.4-inch infotainment display. Noteworthy is that while both vehicles share this feature, the new ASX has a smaller instrument cluster at 7 inches compared to Captur's upgraded 10.25 inch in its latest model. The car also comes equipped with modern amenities such as wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity.
For safety and assistance, standard features include a driver attention monitor, emergency lane-keeping assist, and intelligent speed assistance. An enhanced warranty covers select versions for up to eight years, showing Mitsubishi's commitment to reliability and customer satisfaction.
In terms of powertrains, new options for the updated ASX include a 1.0L turbo engine delivering 89 horsepower, and a more robust 1.3L DI-T mild hybrid system available in manual or automatic transmission versions—the manual producing about 138 horsepower while the automatic offers up to 158 horsepower. Additionally, there is a hybrid model powered by a 1.6L engine coupled with two electric motors that collectively generate around 143 horsepower.
The prices of the Mitsubishi ASX have not yet been announced, but are unlikely to differ significantly from those of the redesigned Renault Captur, which range between around 24,000 and around 30,000 euros.
This continuation of using Renault's Captur platform comes nearly two years after Mitsubishi decided to utilize existing resources available through their alliance including Nissan and Renault itself—aiming at cost reduction and efficiency enhancements across their European operations.
