The 2023 Mitsubishi ASX has been officially unveiled for the European market, based on the CMF-B platform from the Renault-Nissan-Mitsubishi alliance and is “supplied by Renault”, states Mitsubishi. The 2023 ASX will be manufactured in Valladolid, Spain at the Renault plant.
In this case, its Renault twin is the Captur, which shares its underpinnings with the just-revealed ASX; indeed, much of the ASX front end appears similar to that of the Captur.
In fact, much of the Captur’s exterior is carried over to the ASX, from its front end through to its floating roof with two-tone finish, and its upturned kink from the window line that passes through its C-pillars towards the tailgate.
A quartet of engine options will be offered for the 2023 ASX, and these will be a 1.6 litre plug-in hybrid petrol, a 1.6 litre hybrid petrol, a 1.3 litre mild-hybrid direct-injection turbocharged model and a 1.0 litre turbocharged petrol base model.
The 1.6 litre plug-in hybrid powertrain consists of the internal combustion engine mated with two electric motors; an alternator-starter and a main motor, a multi-mode automatic gearbox and a 10.5 kWh battery. According to earlier details from Mitsubishi, this produces 160 hp in combined output.
Joining the PHEV in the line-up is the 1.6 litre hybrid, which also consists of the internal combustion engine and two electric motors with a multi-mode automatic gearbox, this time with a 1.3 kWh battery. Previously released information from Mitsubishi states that this will have 145 hp in combined output.
For the mild-hybrid, the 1.3L turbo MHEV powertrain pairs with either a six-speed manual or a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic, and this was earlier stated to make 140 hp in manual guise, or 158 hp with the DCT. Rounding up the debut line-up is the 1.0 litre turbo three-cylinder petrol, paired with a six-speed manual and producing 97 hp, according to earlier details.
Just one image of the 2023 ASX interior has been supplied for now, and here the B-segment Mitsubishi twin to the Captur shares the French car’s dashboard architecture. Its layout, air-conditioning vents and instrumentation appear are the same shapes as those for the Captur, as is the vertically-oriented infotainment unit. Its steering wheel, too is shared, albeit with its centre boss adapted to take the Mitsubishi logo.
Mobile device connectivity in the 2023 ASX comes through the Smartphone Display Audio (SDA) setup, while the Multi-Sense drive mode system can be selected via the SDA interface. Advanced driver assistance systems on the 2023 ASX comes courtesy of MI-PILOT technology, which is comprised of adaptive cruise control, lane centering assist.
As above, the 2023 Mitsubishi ASX will be built at the Renault manufacturing facility in Valladolid, Spain, where its French twin the Captur is produced. The 2023 ASX will go on sale in selected European markets from March 2023.
Looking to sell your car? Sell it with myTukar.
The overpriced of a Japanese and the unreliability of a French. Bravo!
the renault 1.3 turbo and the 1.0 turbo are quite reliable don’t know what are yoy complaining about
Wow, all they did is just slap some Mitsubishi badges on the Captur and call it a day, not even any slight styling changes done to the rest of the car, yet many people here in Southeast Asia still think Mitsubishi is great.
Yes. They should have redesign the grille (and call it Eternity Wave), then only they can feel proud.
at least they did not get shamefully bought out by their competitor whom they tried to cheat leading to a near bankruptcy penalties.
as opposed to forcing 2 generations of the rakyat to drive inferior cars or buying overpriced cars of other brands?
why are you talking about perodua that way? they are a good car.. although they dont have their own technology, but they have still done a good job.
Stop being childish. Proton can’t make good cars, they can’t debate. They certainly fail in trolling.
Yes indeed.. It is not a secret that many car manufacturers e.g volvo, peugeot, hyundai etc. bought their gdi engine pattern back in early 2000. Even geely gdi engine is inherited from volvo and many current geely fleets (sedan model) still using gdi engine directly supplied by mitsubishi..
Why not just sell it as a captur to save the printing cost of new brochures. Renault is a popular brand in Europe anyway.. Maybe better received compared to a Mitsubishi
We might get this ASX from Mitsubishi before Renault Malaysia launches the Captur over here
Tan Chong moment
Is this what Nissan execs are afraid Renault would do to their brand?
Way better looking in and out compared to the original captur. Good job.
After 3 years 2 months, now Mitsu launch a rebadged Renault Captur.
This Captur was launched 2019 July.
