Mitsubishi Motors Malaysia has introduced the facelifted Mitsubishi ASX. It’s basically a minor cosmetic job, with changes led by a new front grille design and the inclusion of a panoramic glass roof. Additionally, the vehicle now incorporates auto rain and light sensors, GPS navigation with Bluetooth/iPod connectivity as standard features.
The ASX – which debuted in 2010 – was last upgraded for the 2012 model year, adding new 17-inch alloy wheels, a smart key/push-start ignition system, auto-retractable side mirrors and revised leather seats when it came about in January 2012.
Still no changes to the running gear, with the 4B11 2.0 litre MIVEC four-banger still turning out the same output numbers, these being 150 PS at 6,000 rpm and 197 Nm at 4,200 rpm. Also present, the INVECS-III CVT transmission with six-step sports mode.
A range of three optional accessories packages has been made available for the car, each individually specifiable. The first package adds in a front corner extension with DRLs, front and rear under covers, a side wind deflector and a large rear spoiler, and goes for RM4,599.
The second package consists of a rear bumper plate, chrome-plated door mirror covers, a tailgate protector and scuff plates, and is priced at RM1,799. As for the third package, a new shift knob, side tray lid, rear cargo luggage mat and luggage net will set you back RM899.
Four exterior colours – White Pearl, Titanium Grey, Black Mica and Red Metallic – are available for the facelifted ASX, which is priced at RM139,981 (on-the-road, without insurance).

Mazda CX-5 is way better than this dude.
Like cx5 then buy one n if you don’t like the asx who cares
How many airbags does CX5 have?
See, no negative comments on Mitsubishi ASX.
In case some of us sometimes do not read comments with brains.
agree with jimmy….. its a very very very very comfortable and nice car…. Love it when I have a test drive on it….. feel bringing one home and I did it…. hehe
Great value for money.
When the ASX first came out, it was ideally size. But it has the same problem as the Hyundai Veloster and the current ‘smilley-head’ Peugeout 308, which is that grill makes the entire car looks front heavy, as if the front is design separately for a bigger car. I don’t know weather they’ve shrink the bumper or clever optical illusion but now it looks a lot better than the original.
RM 140k seems like a fair price for this car. And MMM seems to be secretly improving their product lineup lately
Best not to compare sushi with rotten cabbage.
The latter’s trade in value is getting worse by the week, especially after 505
after the whole inspira fiasco, mitsubishi has lost all credibility, in my eyes anyway.
Mitsubishi has not losing all their credibility, in fact i think their name has been built up due to the sales pick up in Mitsubishi Triton. * Proton might comes out with a new line up which is similar to honda accord
YEa. True off road Powertrain Performing Beast come from Mitsu Triton, Pajero Sport and the Pajero.
undeniable beast.
bring the diesel version…that 190nm at 4,000rpm is waay too weak…btw, cant they just plonk in the Triton engine..that will move this SUV
Dude, Inspira is an awesome car..
Dude, Mitsubishi Lancer is an awesome car. Inspira is very low quality version of that
In SG saw inspariah park side with lancer gt. So malu la wei.
Lancer GT got no Lous/Proton RnH
Lancer GT so malu
Indrani: lemme guess, this is coming from someone who drives a Toyota Vios J Spec
i like the panoramic roof
me too!
did you know, the front fender is made from plastic?? same material w the bumper. What do you think?
doesnt sound reliable right..
There are a lot of cars that uses plastic front fenders nowadays. It has it’s pros and cons, just like plastic vs steel bumpers of yesteryears. It has nothing to do with reliability. For all you know, it’s easier to maintain.
yes…until u know its weight, lol…
boleh laarrr….
still no 4×4 variant in malaysia… (T_T)
If this ASX made it CKD, it will be more awesome ! haha
You’ll got it. This model will be CKD in Tan Chong Segambut plant. Might be Q4 this year. Price will be cheaper.
It would be better off with some other feature instead of the sunroof. Maybe more airbags?
I miss the old airtrek turbo. That design was awesome. The new mitsu suv leaves me cold. Just wondering why the japs dont turbocharge their engines like say Ford or vw. Get the benefits of both power and low fuel consumption
I prefer Subaru XV over this.
Who asked for your preference? You’re suppose to comment on the car….
I’m confused..please help me…any suggestion buying suv car… Before this i prefer mazda cx5… But since i read the review of this especially the panoramic glass roof darn i love this..hmmm..how about the engine? Is still the same performance of asx before?
P.s i love crv but my brother juz bought it…huhu
Prefer CX-5, 6 airbags and skyactiv technology. Even though never sit in ASX before.
Wonder what the max it can go….. hehe….. mivec 2.0L without turbo charges….. if install a toubo charges will raise up the fuel consumption…. hrm……
