From the outside the new Mitsubishi ASX Black boasts a dynamic appearance with the introduction of satin black styling kit - which includes striking black 17” alloy wheels, roof, spoiler, mirrors, grille and fog lamp bezels. The interior benefits from the addition of a special edition black leather kit featuring carbon fibre inserts.
Based on the current Mitsubishi ASX4, the ASX Black is (despite its name) available in the following metallic colours:
- Kingfisher Blue (Metallic)
- Polar White (Solid)
- Cool Silver (Metallic)
- Amethyst Black (Pearlescent)
- Atlantic Grey (Metallic)
- Orient Red (Metallic)
Customers have a choice of two Euro V engines; Mitsubishi’s 1.6 petrol (115bhp @ 6,000 rpm, 114lb.ft @ 4,000 rpm) with 5 speed manual transmission and the Mitsubishi 1.8 DiD turbodiesel engine (147bhp @ 4,000 rpm, 221lb.ft @ 2,000-3,000 rpm) with a 6-speed manual transmission. Mitsubishi also offer an AWC electronically controlled 4x4 system for the 1.8 DiD turbo diesel.
The ASX4 Black standard features include:
- Kenwood satellite navigation system
- Reversing camera
- iPod connection
- Mitsubishi Active Stability and Traction Control (M-ASTC)
The ASX’s excellent emissions and economy are further assisted by:
- Auto Stop & Go
- Application of variable valve timing (diesel engine)
- Electric power steering
- Low rolling resistance tyres
- Regenerative brakes (Generation Control System)
- Low viscosity oil
- LED lighting
- Weight reduction measures
After its successful market introduction in Europe, and with a comprehensive level of built-in passive safety, the Mitsubishi ASX compact crossover confirms the excellence of its engineering with a 5* Euro NCAP crash test result achievement - adding even further to the ASX’s many virtues.
