Video road report - Mitsubishi ASX XLS

Video Road Report

We video test the Mitsubishi ASX XLS.

Mitsubishi’s new 2015 ASX features a host of upgrades and an extremely competitive price point, following the sell-out success of Lancer GSR.

At a special introductory launch price of $29,990 the new XLS 2WD sports sharp improvements.

It has revised CVT transmission mapping which gives swifter acceleration and a better drive, while 17 inch machine-finished alloys and a new Electric Blue colour option enhance street appeal.

Other features include a reversing camera with the monitor integrated into a 6.1 inch touch screen, Bluetooth with USB, and Mitsubishi’s 5-year/130,000km new vehicle warranty and 10-year/160,000km power train warranty, plus 5-year/130,000km roadside assistance.

Inside, the XLS adds a sports seat trim and it has improved fuel efficiency of 7.4L/100km. Power unit is a 2-litre 112kW/200Nm petrol engine driving the front wheels.

Both models have a 5-star ANCAP safety rating, with the VRX enjoying the added benefit of LED daytime-running lamps.

With the move towards SUVs gaining more and more momentum, the two-wheel-drive  Mitsubishi ASX has great appeal to the fleet market.
