Mitsubishi ASX

The Mitsubishi ASX is one of 168 Mitsubishi models in the MotorJury library, the catalogue that sets out to hold every car ever made — production, prototype and concept alike. The record places its introduction in 2010. The photography on this page is hotlinked from Wikimedia Commons under an open licence, with the photographer credited on every frame.

The era it was born into

To read the Mitsubishi ASX properly it helps to place it in its decade. The 2010s were the decade electrification stopped being a science project — Tesla forced the incumbents' hand, downsized turbo engines replaced displacement, and the crossover conquered every market. Any car launched into that world was shaped by it — by what materials, engineering and regulation allowed, and by what buyers of the day demanded. Its direct contemporaries in this catalogue, introduced within three years of it, include the Lexus Lexus LFA, the Nissan Nissan Leaf, the Jeep Jeep Grand Cherokee — the cars a buyer of the period would actually have cross-shopped.

The numbers, read closely

On paper, the Mitsubishi ASX reads like this: the record lists its engine as Petrol engine / Petrol: / 1.6 L Mitsubishi 4A9 engine#4A92 / 4A92 Straight-four engine / I4 / 1.8 L Mitsubishi 4B1 engine#4B10 / 4B10 I4 / 1.8 L Mitsubishi 4J1 engin; kerb weight is recorded at successor = Mitsubishi Xforce (emerging markets); drive goes through 5/6-speed manual transmission / manual / 6-speed Automatic transmission / automatic / 6-speed INVECS-III Continuously variable transmission / CVT; the layout is Front-engine, front-wheel-drive / Front-engine, all-wheel-drive. Every figure above is a manufacturer specification carried by the Wikipedia infobox or the open Wikidata record for this model — nothing on this page is estimated, and where a source is silent the row simply does not appear.

Its place in the Mitsubishi story

Within Mitsubishi's own catalogue the Mitsubishi ASX sits alongside the Mitsubishi Lancer, the Mitsubishi 360, the Mitsubishi L300 wagon, the Mitsubishi 380. The record names the Mitsubishi Pajero iO / Mitsubishi RVR#N60 / Mitsubishi RVR (second generation) (for RVR nameplate) as its predecessor and the Mitsubishi Xforce (emerging markets) as its successor, fixing its place in the model line's chronology. Design is credited to Norihiko Yoshihime. Assembly is recorded at Japan: Okazaki, Aichi (Mitsubishi Motors#Locations / Okazaki Plant, until 2017); Kurashiki, Okayama (Mitsubishi Motors#Locations / Mizushima Plant, since 2017) / Brazil: Catalão (H.

How this catalogue works

This library is generated, verified and rebuilt from the open record on every deploy. The catalogue skeleton comes from Wikidata, specifications from Wikipedia's infoboxes under CC BY-SA, photography from Wikimedia Commons under each file's own licence, and the ownership data from United States federal safety records. Nothing is written by hand and nothing is invented: every fact on this page traces to a public source, and every page is rebuilt nightly as those sources improve. Errors in the source record will appear here too — and disappear the night the source is corrected.

From catalogue to ownership

What this page cannot yet tell you is what the Mitsubishi ASX costs to live with — that is a different dataset. MotorJury's ownership verdicts are computed from federal complaint and recall records plus EPA economy data, published per model year as the nightly ingest reaches each car. If this model was sold in the United States, its years will surface in the ownership database; browse it live or price any car yourself with the true-cost calculator.
