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) was launched as a compact SUV to rival the Nissan Qashqai and Skoda Yeti, offering SUV looks and an upright driving position. It came in both front-wheel-drive and 4x4 versions, the latter providing proper 4x4 capability with lower running costs than larger off-roaders. Practicality was a key selling point, offering 442 litres of boot space, which was competitive at launch, along with 60/40 split-folding rear seats and a ski hatch.

Initially, engine options included a 1.6-litre petrol and a 1.8 DiD diesel, with a more powerful 2.2-litre diesel (paired with an automatic and 4WD) introduced in 2013, ideal for towing. Later, a more economical 1.6-litre diesel replaced the 1.8. While not a memorable car to drive, it offers a reasonably comfortable ride. Standard equipment was generous, with higher trims adding features like climate control, cruise control, heated seats, and later facelifts bringing an 8-inch touchscreen with Apple CarPlay/Android Auto. Running costs are generally low, especially for the 1.6-litre diesel, and insurance is typically cheaper than rivals. It often makes more sense as a used car due to its long warranty and reliability.

Best for: Drivers seeking a rugged compact SUV with available 4x4, buyers looking for a well-equipped car on a budget, or those needing a car for towing (2.2-litre diesel).

Not ideal for: Buyers prioritising a fun or engaging driving experience, those who expect a premium or modern cabin finish, or drivers who want very low servicing frequency for all models.


Comparison vs Key Rivals



The Verdict

You should buy the ASX if: You're on a budget, seeking a practical and well-equipped compact SUV with available 4x4, or need a capable towing vehicle.

Consider alternatives if: You prioritise an engaging driving experience, a premium cabin, or desire a lower servicing frequency for all engine options.

Competitive Position: The Mitsubishi ASX (2010-2020) offers a rugged alternative in the compact SUV segment, providing good practicality, generous equipment, and available 4x4 capability. While it may lag behind newer rivals in driving dynamics and interior finish, its strong reliability, long warranty (when new), and lower running costs (especially for diesel variants) make it a sensible and keenly priced used car option, particularly for those on a budget or needing towing capacity.
