Mitsubishi ASX (2010-2020) Pros and Cons

Pros	Cons
More rugged than most crossovers	The 2.2-litre diesel needs frequent servicing
Proper 4x4 versions are available	Dated and dull driving experience
Well equipped whichever model you choose	Poorly finished cabin

Quick Summary

The Mitsubishi ASX (2010-2020) is a practical compact SUV that launched as a rival to the Nissan Qashqai and Skoda Yeti. Available in front-wheel-drive and proper 4x4 versions, it offers an upright driving position and SUV styling with lower running costs than full-fat offroaders. The 442-litre boot provides generous luggage space, with rear seats featuring a 60/40 split and ski hatch. Standard equipment is generous across the range, from alloy wheels and air-conditioning on entry-level models to leather seats and satnav on higher specifications.

The engine line-up has evolved significantly over the model's life. Early models featured a 115bhp 1.6-litre petrol or 148bhp 1.8 DiD diesel. A 2.2-litre diesel arrived in 2013, offering considerably more mid-range pulling power and automatic transmission, making it ideal for towing or motorway driving. Later, a 1.6-litre diesel replaced the 1.8, improving fuel economy. The final years saw a 148bhp 2.0-litre petrol as the sole option. Diesel models are the better choice on the used market, with the 1.6-litre offering excellent fuel economy around 55mpg, whilst the 2.2-litre suits those wanting livelier performance. Running costs are competitive, with insurance groups starting from 13 of 50.

Best for: Budget-conscious buyers seeking a practical SUV with genuine 4x4 capability, those wanting generous standard equipment, and drivers prioritising fuel economy with diesel engines.

Not ideal for: Buyers seeking engaging driving dynamics, those wanting a premium cabin finish, or those preferring modern rivals with more space and technology.


Comparison vs Key Rivals



The Verdict

You should buy the ASX if: You're on a budget, seeking a practical SUV with genuine 4x4 capability, wanting generous standard equipment, or prioritising fuel economy with diesel engines.

Consider alternatives if: You desire engaging driving dynamics, prefer a premium cabin finish, or require more space and modern technology than rivals offer.

Competitive Position: The Mitsubishi ASX (2010-2020) occupies a unique position in the compact SUV market as a genuinely rugged alternative to softer crossovers. Whilst it lags behind rivals like the Skoda Yeti and Nissan Qashqai in driving dynamics and cabin quality, its proper 4x4 capability, generous standard equipment, and competitive pricing make it an excellent value proposition for budget-conscious buyers. On the used market, it represents a sensible choice for those prioritising practicality and off-road ability over premium refinement. The diesel engines, particularly the frugal 1.6-litre, offer impressive real-world economy and low running costs.
