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 compact SUV designed to rival models like the Nissan Qashqai and Skoda Yeti. It offered both front-wheel-drive and capable 4x4 versions, catering to those seeking an elevated driving position and SUV aesthetics, or genuine off-road capability with lower running costs. Initially, it came with a 1.6-litre petrol or a 1.8 DiD diesel engine. Practicality was a strong suit at launch, boasting 442 litres of boot space, slightly more than its contemporary Qashqai or Yeti, and featuring a 60/40 split rear seat with a ski hatch.

While not known for an engaging driving experience, offering a rather bland feel compared to rivals like the Skoda Yeti, its ride is reasonably comfortable. Engine options evolved, with a more powerful 2.2-litre diesel arriving in 2013, ideal for towing, and later a focus on economy with a 1.6-litre diesel. Standard equipment was generous across trims, including alloy wheels, air-conditioning, and keyless entry, with higher specs adding climate control, heated seats, and advanced infotainment after a 2019 facelift. Running costs are generally low, especially for the 1.6-litre diesel, and insurance is competitive.

Best for: Buyers on a budget, those needing a practical crossover with good standard equipment, or proper 4x4 capability, and competitive running costs.

Not ideal for: Drivers seeking an engaging or fun driving experience, those prioritising an upmarket cabin finish, or needing a specific engine (e.g., 2.2 diesel) with more frequent servicing.


Comparison vs Key Rivals



The Verdict

You should buy the ASX if: You're on a budget, seeking a practical crossover with good standard equipment, or proper 4x4 capability, and competitive running costs.

Consider alternatives if: You prioritise an engaging driving experience, an upmarket cabin finish, or need the 2.2-litre diesel which requires more frequent servicing.

Competitive Position: The Mitsubishi ASX (2010-2020) offers a compelling package for budget-conscious buyers seeking a practical and well-equipped compact SUV. While its driving dynamics are not its strongest suit and the cabin finish may feel dated compared to newer rivals, its robust nature, available 4x4 capability, and competitive running costs make it a sensible used purchase. It stands out for its generous standard features and can be a cost-effective alternative to more refined but pricier options.
