New entry-level Mitsubishi ASX – What you get for R370,000

Mitsubishi expanded its ASX crossover range in January by adding a new entry-level model.

Looks like value for money?

Not bad at all, they really tried.

Clearly concerned about the Chinese rivals.

Yeah, pretending they do not exist is not going to work.

Mitsubishi makes decent cars but just like Honda, Opel and other struggling manufacturers they are really not committed to the market they operate in, almost like there is no local management and the strategic direction is provided by someone sitting in a nice office abroad.

The likes of VW and Toyota a killing it because they are in touch with the local market and their products reflects that.

The Chinese are going to give all of them a rude awakening and I don't see some of them surviving.

That look like the same engine it came out 10years ago.

Is it a bad engine?

A good alternative to the Corolla Cross? Especially if you are not interested in a CVT.

good old reliable, no millions spend on a new one

Just lack a bit of power. The car drives fine, but as soon as you get some uphill or you load it with more than two people and some luggage it struggles to maintain 120km/h

Yup I have a 2008 Lancer - same engine....

The ASX has always been a very underrated vehicle in its segment.

Mitsubishi needs to improve on its local presence and marketing...
