Mitsubishi will premiere its ASX compact crossover at the 80th Geneva Motor Show in March. The ASX is the European version of the Japanese market RVR, which will go on sale next month. MMC’s small SUV seats five and will slot below the recently redesigned Outlander, now with Lancer style shark nose.
The Euro-spec ASX will come with an all-new Euro 5 ready 1.8-litre turbocharged direct-injection diesel engine, jointly developed by MMC and Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Ltd. Featuring “Automatic Stop & Go” technology with a 6-speed manual transmission, the ASX is said to be very good for economy and emissions.
Not much details available for now, so take a look at the ASX’s rear after the jump.

that front only works on sedan cars like the lancer…i have no idea why they design this suv the same like the lancer…its very ugly
Im very sick of Evo X front look.
Nice Audi Q5, wait.. it is made in Japan?
looks desirable…, hint of merc on the side, n audi at he back…. all evo at the front…., get the quality niggles right n we have a winner
The rear is so weird…
looks so Volvo—ish
I don't like crossover vehicles. You just want the hieght without any advantage to driving experience. May be a hinderance.
First thing comes to mind when I see this model is the similarity to Audi's front trapezium.
I like this car… it going to be my next car when it launched… very nice…

…………………………………………………………………..
so why the BMW,AUDI,MERC n VOLVO design is same for All model.looking boring? that their identity.
i think it looks good..
The nose cannot 'masuk' with this model. look really ugly.
Wow!! Another option for my shopping list in 2010!!
BTW will it make its way to our shore any sooner?
I have sick and tired with all the Civic sedan car on our road, Lancer is nice……but i wan a crossover!!!!
why the same face as evo?
KS..I agree…enough with Evo X front looks already….
I like Evo X but dont spoil the looks on other models…makes Evo X not unique anymore…vomit!!
I like it but only 5 seater!
i think it look really good.. maybe this color is bit off.. beside i bet mmc will come out with the sport accesories like spoiler and skirt….
its nice..
Seriously this SUV is ugly…
All car's nose are quite boring these days…except Hyundays!
The pejero was a best seller at a time. Will this model bring back that shine?
personnally.. i dont think so. Do know what has happen to those good old times. USF wake up!!!
The front doesn't match the rear. Rear look sporty and the front look aggresive.
mitsu!!!! Schtoppppp with your shark nose. its awful.
The specs were leaked in Asia last week

I'm getting tired with the nose look oredi.
Please, no more of the nose…….
VNOZ….
USF no longer distribute Mitsubishi…& it has been quite sometimes to see a revolutionary ideas from MMC since Pajero made headlines almost 30 years ago…i'm hoping they can bounce back to be among the Top 3 makers in Japan.
why the face so evo? i think it is going to be new trend for mitshubishi cars down the road, like it or not.
buruk ke cantik ke org tetap beli…citarasa org semua tidak sama,,kalau sama parah la manusia tu.
Looks like it's made out of same Nissan Qashqai mould..
Top 3 Jap Car makers will still remain Toyota, Honda & Nissan.. Theres no way Mitsubishi would even be in tht league… The only model that made Mitsubishi famous was the Lancer Evolution (MIVEC)… Perhaps they should try to outpace Mazda and Subaru first before even considered to challenge the Top 3..
Thanks Casta for that info
i Hope they could also. Any idea of having this model, down spec for the nasty roads in malaysia? i dont like the triton.. getting too bulky for my liking.
mitsu, just because this styling was successful with your lancer. doesn't mean it work with anything else. u guys ruined the mitsu colt and outlander which i loved a lot.
itu depan punya mulut manyak ugly wooooo
Looks good, but I think the Evo front is way over-used. They should create something new for this SUV. This RVR is a small SUV, right? Something like Rav4 and Totoya Rush? Should be interesting…
I truely hope this car comes into Malaysia at the same price as the Vitara, Kia Sportage, Hyundai Tucson price range of 110K to 120K and it will truely sell like hot cake !
Mitsubishi Malaysia I hope you're reading this
If proton has SUV in future, sure will use this chasis, like new waja use lancer
Looks like kena langgar liao, not good shape. The car is small?

For me simple, if Toyota can be current world no.1 & Volks EU no.1..mitsu also can..but with an effort to improve their product line up and after sales svs…to be fair in M'sia right now they performed better under MMM rather than USF..
Whatever it's, i really miss the L300…although it's consume fuel slightly higher than Bongo & Hiace…but when it comes for reliability & durability..it goes beyond expectation..like it!…I'm hoping they will really tie-up with PSA…
and unleash the synergies of collaboration thru better products & services..
I'll prefer a tamer version with the wide gaping mouth tone down, by having the middle bumper body-colour and take away the chrome lining around the mouth.
Then it'll look more classier! Try it, DRB!
seems that this car design 85% like mitsubishi evo 10, when look the same design being made at SUV..kind a weird…but still gorgeous…
is this replacement for pajero io?
mitsubishi dh xde idea lagi ker? smua je nk sumbat kepala evo x.. nampak totally pelik

with Euro 5 ready 1.8-litre turbocharged direct-injection diesel engine
some more… cool…
maybe can do an "ASX Evolution" version also… =)
hyundai = beautiful/nice?
wow…u should really get a pair of glasses…make that binoculars instead! LOL
i think hyundai tucson ix better looking
I have seen this car in flesh in China about few months back. I was wondering if it was a Lancer-based SUV then. Looks real menacing parked admist the tamer SUVs.
i think i read sumwehre dat all current & future mitsu car designs will be based on the concept-x design by omer halilhodži?…
i think te dsign is awesome… on te contrary, personally i feel te shark nose more applicable on tis SUV insted of Lancer. Looks fierce…
