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 straightforward line-up features a choice of petrol and diesel engines, with a 442-litre boot and 60/40 folding rear seats incorporating a ski hatch. Standard equipment is generous across all specification levels, from alloy wheels and air-conditioning on entry models to satnav and leather on higher trims.

The ASX is not a memorable car to drive—the ride is reasonably comfortable but the overall experience is bland. However, it makes sense as a used buy, offering strong reliability and practicality. For fuel economy, the 1.6-litre diesel is the pick, achieving around 55mpg in real-world driving. The 2.2-litre diesel provides livelier performance for those towing or covering motorway miles, though it requires more frequent servicing. Insurance groups start from 13 of 50, making it cheaper to insure than equivalent rivals. A late 2019 facelift brought modern infotainment with an eight-inch touchscreen, DAB, Android Auto and Apple CarPlay.

Best for: Budget-conscious buyers seeking a practical, well-equipped compact SUV with genuine 4x4 capability, and those prioritising fuel economy and low insurance costs.

Not ideal for: Drivers wanting an engaging driving experience, those seeking premium cabin quality, or buyers requiring the latest technology as standard on all trims.


Comparison vs Key Rivals



The Verdict

You should buy the ASX if: You're seeking a practical, well-equipped compact SUV with genuine 4x4 capability, prioritising fuel economy and low insurance costs on a budget.

Consider alternatives if: You want an engaging driving experience, premium cabin quality, or the latest technology as standard on all trims.

Competitive Position: The Mitsubishi ASX (2010-2020) is a capable but dated compact SUV that struggles against more modern rivals. Whilst it offers genuine 4x4 capability, generous equipment levels, and strong reliability, its bland driving dynamics and poorly finished cabin put it at a disadvantage compared to the Skoda Yeti, Renault Captur, and Nissan Qashqai. As a used buy, the ASX makes sense for budget-conscious buyers seeking practicality and low running costs, but it lacks the driving engagement of a Ford Puma or the refinement of newer competitors. The diesel engines, particularly the frugal 1.6-litre, offer excellent value, though the 2.2-litre requires more frequent servicing.
