Mitsubishi ASX small SUV set to be replaced in Australia after 16 years on sale

Mitsubishi Motors Australia has offered the retirement of its ASX puny SUV after 16 years on sale, with its successor scrape to coach in 2025.

New ADR requirements mandating extra superior independent emergency braking diagram into map for all automobiles from March 1st, 2025.

This new rule can even look the extra model-centered Eclipse Rotten puny SUV and the Pajero Sport discontinued from sale. Learn our separate article for extra puny print.

Mitsubishi says it has pre-ordered stock upfront – presumably sufficient to stride the gap between the present and following know-how – with a monumental landing date of ‘2025’ the correct files equipped by the Eastern automobile maker.

The next-know-how ASX is in actuality a rebadged 2d-know-how Renault Captur shared below the present Renault-Nissan-Mitsubishi Alliance. This model has been on sale in Europe below the ASX nameplate since 2023.

The 2d-gen Captur, on sale since 2019, turn into once given a midlife facelift in April 2024, with Mitsubishi following suit with its like model later that month with a model that turn into once extra visually distinguishable than the advance-an identical pre-facelift model.

Hybrid powertrains, stylish interiors and further

The brand new ASX rides on the CMF-B platform that must bring in vastly improved driving dynamics, which had been criticised many cases by Chasing Cars in evaluation for being well below the class moderate.

In Europe, the ASX is on hand with either a delicate-hybrid or historic hybrid option.

The feeble pairs a 1.3L engine with a six-bustle manual or seven-bustle dual-snatch automatic transmission, with the feeble the extra doubtless option to land in Australia.

Mitsubishi will doubtless be extremely doubtless to give the 1.6L hybrid option, which works alongside two electrical motors fed from a 1.2kWh battery. Reasonable gasoline consumption is rated at 6.0L/100km for the light hybrid and 4.6L/100km for the hybrid.

In an analogous fashion, the interior will look a seismic shift in stylish compose with aspects comparable to a 10.4-whisk vertical touchscreen, 10.25-whisk digital driver’s expose and a 9-speaker Harman Kardon sound map.

On the other hand, it’d be favorite that the Captur-essentially essentially based ASX is a vastly smaller automobile at spherical 4.2m prolonged when in contrast to the ASX at closer to 4.4m, landing it in the ‘light SUV’ designation in scrape of the ‘puny SUV’ class.

How extra special will the new Renault Captur payment in Australia?

This quiz has doubtless outlined and certainly delayed the decision on what model would be triumphant the present ASX for some years. It turn into once this is why that the payment-effective Xforce puny SUV offered to growing areas comparable to Thailand turn into once belief of as but in the raze rejected as it wouldn’t follow Australia’s safety standards.

Renault has previously confirmed this can provide the facelifted Captur in the community after offering the pre-facelifted model in 2024. On the time it turn into once priced from $33,000 to $39,500 sooner than on-avenue prices, and this might doubtless per chance just doubtless look a puny bump attributable to doubtlessly the most recent update.

Either manner, it sits some distance above the present initiating sign of trusty $24,490 sooner than on-roads.

The Captur is a dreary selling automobile, piquant trusty 169 fashions to ASX’s 12,330 in 2024. But Mitsubishi will doubtless be hoping with elevated economies of scale from piquant extra fashions, and the blended efforts of offering the same model in Renault guise in the community, prices is doubtless to be introduced the general way down to extra handsome phases for its present investors.

Either manner, this might doubtless per chance per chance be a whereas yet sooner than we look any dependable sign and specs for this model so preserve tuned to Chasing Cars for doubtlessly the most recent updates.
