Mitsubishi ASX – small crossover Japanese made, which is the smallest crossover in the model Mitsubishi range. It is a five-door SUV off-road. The model is based on a platform passenger cars Mitsubishi Outlander XL and tenth generation Lancer. Despite the passenger car and the lack of a frame structure, the Mitsubishi ASX has good cross-country ability due to the increased ground clearance and all-wheel drive.

The history of the model began in 2007, when the Japanese presented the Concept-cX concept car, which served as the basis for the creation serial crossover. It was introduced in 2010. The car turned out to be as similar as possible to the prototype. Thus, among the identical design elements, we can note the signature radiator grille and unusual body shapes in a simple style. This design was first used in the Mitsubishi F2 fighter jet.

The length of the Mitsubishi ASX is 4295 mm, which corresponds to the compact category. TO similar models can be attributed Nissan Qashqai, Volkswagen Tiguan, Ford Kuga, Kia Sportage, Hyundai Tucson and other small crossovers.

On the Russian market, the car is sold only with gasoline engines. IN basic configuration A 1.6-liter 117-horsepower engine is offered. The following versions are with engines of 1.8 and 2.0 liters, power 140 and 150 Horse power respectively. The Russian modification was supplied from the United States, but later the American plant was closed. Except gasoline engines there is also diesel versions with a power of 114 and 150 horsepower, which are available for the European market.

In 2011, the car participated in the Euro NCAP crash test, according to the results of which it received a maximum of five stars out of five. Protection for adult occupants is rated at 86%, and for children at 78%. The crossover received 60% for pedestrian safety.

The crossover was presented to the general public in 2010. On domestic market, in Japan, its performance took place a little earlier than in Geneva, namely on February 17 of that year.

You can see that the idea to create new model The crossover appeared among the Japanese back in 2007, when the Concept-cX was presented to the public. The car came with a 1.8-liter engine with a capacity of 136 hp. New features include the Twin Clutch SST sports transmission. dual clutch. There were also no complaints about the finishing, because the model was lined inside with branded environmentally friendly plastic.

After 3 years, the model was already presented Mitsubishi ASX, characteristics which we will look at in this article. The name stands for Active Sport X-over, which translates as a crossover for active driving. In the front of the car you can immediately notice the signature radiator grille.

The interior of the Mitsubishi ACX features excellent visibility, soft upholstery and silver elements that significantly increase the level of finishing. This car is perfect for families, because it can comfortably accommodate 5 people inside. The trunk volume is 419 liters, which is enough for traveling or long-distance trips.

All necessary information when moving it is displayed on the liquid crystal display on-board computer, which engineers placed between the tachometer and speedometer. Innovations include the ability to start the car using a button and adjustable steering wheel length.

If you order the maximum package, you will receive panoramic roof, leather seats, leather trim on the dashboard and doors, as well as LED backlight roofs.

Characteristics Mitsubishi ASX show that in different configurations The power unit is available in several volumes at once:

• 1.6 liters, gasoline, 117 hp;

As you know, the Japanese do not stand still, so soon we can expect new models and more restylings already existing cars. The ASX crossover is truly amazing.

Video Mitsubishi ASX

Watch the Mitsubishi ACX video and learn a lot of useful information about this car. The owner will tell you the whole truth.

Compact crossover Mitsubishi ASX for the European market was shown back in 2010 in Geneva. Since then, the ASX has undergone a couple of minor restylings. But in general, the recognizable profile of the Lancer X, on whose platform the car is based, remained without significant changes. While the older brother “Outlander” completely changed his appearance.

For Russian market The Mitsubishi ASX crossover is assembled in Japan. Exactly Japanese assembly provides excellent quality and vehicle reliability. Concerning technical features, then in our country the car is presented with three gasoline engines with a displacement of 1.6, 1.8 and 2 liters. Is there some more diesel option, but it can only be bought in the EU.

Concerning off-road qualities Mitsubishi ASX, then buyers should be pleased with the ground clearance, which is almost 20 centimeters, or more precisely, ground clearance ASX 195 mm. Available in both front-wheel drive and all-wheel drive versions car. However four-wheel drive The crossover is available only in combination with a top-end 2-liter engine.

Exterior of Mitsubishi ASX quite similar to Lancer sedan X, especially in the front. The designers borrowed quite a few characteristic features of the sedan. The main thing that immediately catches your eye is the large trapezoidal radiator grille. By the way, as a result of the latest restyling, LED daytime running lights were added to the front fog lights (built into the bumpers) running lights. Let's look at the photos crossover ASX Further.

Technical characteristics of Mitsubishi ASX

Technical characteristics of the ASX crossover directly depend on the type power unit. Thus, a car with a 1.6-liter gasoline engine is offered only with front-wheel drive and a 5-speed transmission. manual transmission transmission With a 1.8-liter engine, the ASX is already sold with a continuously variable transmission CVT variator, but still only front-wheel drive. And only with the most powerful 2-liter gasoline engine, buyers are offered an all-wheel drive transmission, but still with the same CVT.

So, base engine Mitsubishi ASX 1.6 liter, this is a gasoline in-line, 4-cylinder, 16 valve unit with electronic system valve timing control. Engine power 117 hp. at 154 Nm of torque. Acceleration to the first hundred with this engine is 11.4 seconds, and maximum speed 183 km/h. Average consumption fuel 6.1 liters. I would like to note right away that all Mitsubishi ASX engines have a timing chain. Distributed injection type.

The next most powerful engine is the 1.8-liter engine, which produces 140 horses with a maximum torque of 177 Nm. Acceleration in combination with a continuously variable transmission to 100 km/h is 12.7 seconds, and the top speed is 189 km. What's interesting is more powerful engine crossover ASX did not add dynamism to the crossover, but fuel consumption increased. So in mixed mode it is 7.4 liters. By the way, the 1.6 and 1.8 engines consume exclusively AI-95 gasoline, but the 2-liter “eats” AI-92.

Top 2-liter petrol engine, which can only be combined with all-wheel drive transmission Mitsubishi's compact crossover produces 150 horsepower and 197 Nm of torque. Acceleration to the first hundred is 11.7 seconds, and the top speed is 191 km/h. Naturally, this engine is also the most voracious, so consumption in mixed mode is 7.7 liters. Interestingly, the manufacturer indicates consumption in urban conditions at 9.4 liters, the same figure for the ASX with a 1.8 liter engine.

All-wheel drive Mitsubishi ASX works as follows. In mode 2WD Only the front wheels are driven. In mode 4WD auto, it is still a front wheel drive car, but can be connected if necessary rear wheels without driver participation. That is, when the front wheels slip, Automatic blocking differential and torque is transmitted to the rear wheels.

Forced lock mode 4WD Lock The differential locks permanently and the car turns into an SUV and is ready to conquer various terrain in 4x4 mode. It is worth considering that fuel consumption in this mode is increased, plus acceleration dynamics also suffer.

By the way, in USA Mitsubishi The ASX is sold under the name Outlander Sport. In the North American market, this car is the best-selling of all Mitsubishi models at the moment. The most interesting thing is that in our country this is not the case. The best-selling so far is the Kaluga-assembled Outlander.

Basic dimensions are one of the most important factors influencing the choice of any car. After all, the comfort of placing people in the cabin, the turning radius during a maneuver, and the space that the car will occupy in a parking lot, parking lot or garage depend on them. Big cars allow you to carry more passengers or cargo, compact ones are easier to drive, and medium ones, such as the Mitsubishi ASX crossover, can be called universal. That is, both quite spacious inside and not so

Dimensions of the Mitsubishi ASX crossover

The fashion for urban crossovers or SUVs appeared around 2007–2008 - it was at this time that Mitsubishi began developing the ACX model. The first concept was called Concept-cX. And the first presentation of the serial SUV took place in 2010 at the Geneva Motor Show. The demand for it turned out to be quite high - car enthusiasts, who almost always travel only around the city, liked such compact cars. Moreover, if desired, the ASX could also be used to travel off-road – due to the high ground clearance and 16-inch alloy wheels even in the basic configuration (top versions had 17” and 18”) wheels.

The model name stood for “active sport x-over” or “crossover for high-speed driving.” But, although in fact it only accelerated to 183 km/h, technical specifications still impressive. As well as Mitsubishi sizes ASX, providing a minimum of space and full passenger accommodation.

Changes in sizes throughout the model's release

Among the dimensions vehicle the main ones can be called:

• body dimensions (length, width and height) – 4.295 m, 1.77 m and 1.625 m, respectively;
• ground clearance equal to 19.5 cm;
• base or distance between the axles, which for the crossover was 2.67 m;
• The tracks are the same both front and rear and equal to 1.525 m.

The size of the crossover also includes the volume of its luggage compartment, which for the first versions is 415 liters. When folding the backrests of the seats, the parameter increased to 1.2 cubic meters. And the unloaded weight of the car started at 1.3 tons - all-wheel drive configurations weighed more, already up to 1.45 tons.

The first update of 2013 practically did not change the dimensions of the Mitsubishi ACX and most of its characteristics. Although the crossover height has decreased by 10 mm, and luggage compartment it was already possible to accommodate only 384 liters of cargo (although when transforming the interior, the same 1,219 cubic meters were obtained). The dimensions of the car's bumpers and configurations also changed - although the weight was still within the same limits and depended on the drive and motor.

The second restyling made the car wider, longer and taller. While the trunk and ground clearance parameters remained at the same level. The fuel tank has increased by 3 liters, returning to the original pre-restyling volume, and the weight is already 1,365–1,515 tons, depending on the modification.

Features of crossover dimensions

Looking at the dimensions of the model's body, you can see that the car is quite consistent with its class in terms of length and width. And at the same time it is quite high, which is especially noticeable due to the ground clearance. The person sitting behind the wheel turns out to be slightly taller than when driving driver's seat most other cars. Therefore, such a purchase may become the best option, for example, for a short man or woman.

Internal dimensions Mitsubishi ASX allows second-row passengers to stretch their knees a little and not sit too closely back seat even three of us. This feature is even noted in positive reviews about the model. Although, according to many car enthusiasts, the crossover still lacks a spacious trunk, in which the seats would not need to be folded to transport cargo.

Sizes and dimensions of Mitsubishi ASX updated: September 30, 2017 by: dimajp

Small Mitsubishi crossover ASX was presented at European market in 2010 at the Geneva exhibition. Since that time, the model has undergone minor external changes. However, the general profile, similar to the Lancer X (the car was developed on its basis), has been preserved. At the same time, the older brother Outlander was completely transformed.

For sales in the Russian segment, the car is assembled at factories in Japan. It is this feature that ensures excellent quality and safety. If we talk about technical characteristics, then for Russia the model comes in three variations gasoline engine: 1.6; 1.8; 2 liters. On the European market you can find diesel engine.

The driver should be very pleased 20 cm clearance between the body and the road. The declared ground clearance of the Mitsubishi ACX is 195 mm. Both all-wheel drive and front-wheel drive modifications are produced. It is worth noting that all-wheel drive is only available in maximum configuration engine.

Externally, the car is very similar to another model of the company - Lancer X, especially when viewed from the front. The developers of the car took quite a lot of ideas and characteristic features from a sedan. The first thing that immediately becomes noticeable is the large trapezoid-shaped radiator grille.

Attention! Recently a restyled version was released, which added daytime led lights.

All Mitsubishi parameters

Dimensions of Mitsubishi ACX:

• Body length - 4 m 29.5 cm;
• Width - 1 m 77 cm;
• Car height - 1 m 61.5 cm (including roof rails 1 m 62.5 cm);
• Body weight - 1 t 870 kg;
• The distance between the two axles is 2 m 67 cm;
• Mitsubishi ACX trunk size is 384 liters (+ full size spare);
• The tank holds 63 liters in the front-wheel drive version and 60 liters in the all-wheel drive version;
• Tires for Mitsubishi ACX size - 215/65 R16, 215/60 R17 or 225/55 R18
• Mitsubishi ACX wheel size - .5JX16, 6.5JX17 or 7.0JX18;
• Ground clearance of Mitsubishi ASX is 195 mm.

Mitsubishi ASX built on the basis independent suspension McFerson front and a multi-link system with stabilizer transverse mechanisms. The car uses ventilated disc brakes on both wheels. Also in some trim levels, emergency braking mechanisms and other additions are available.

Checking the declared characteristics

Such information will be useful to people who are choosing a Mitsubishi ACX for themselves. For some, the issue of clearance is very important; a small clearance cannot always ensure the proper level of operation. The documentation for the ACX states a figure of 195 mm. However, detailed and accurate information is not available anywhere.

All measurements will be taken using a regular tape measure. First, it is worth specifying the characteristics of the model being tested. A 1.6 liter engine with manual transmission is installed, front-wheel drive. Mounted on the car winter tires Falcen. Wheels from the factory are 16 inches. The trunk contains a spare tire and a standard set of tools. There were no changes or modifications to the body. In fact, this is a Mitsubishi ACX in the basic configuration. The measured tire pressure is 2.2 atmospheres. Dimensions are made on a level concrete road.

The measurements were carried out in an unusual way. The master used a tape measure, measuring while lying on his side. This may lead to minor errors. A measurement in the front showed a ground clearance of 200 mm.

Next, let's move to back Mitsubishi ACX, there is an exhaust pipe there. It doesn't stick out as much as it might seem at first glance. We measure the distance under the pipe and get the 195 mm promised by the manufacturer. The exhaust diameter was measured at the bends where the “ear” was fixed. Its diameter is 53 mm, and then the pipe gradually increases to 60 mm. The size of the exhaust projection relative to the rest of the body is approximately 15 millimeters.

One of the most painful places on most cars is the sills and corrugations. They are the ones who often catch high speed bumps. To eliminate problems, measurements were taken under the thresholds of the driver's seat. There was plenty of room for various maneuvers. The ground clearance of the Mitsubishi ASX fully corresponds to the stated characteristics. As a result, it turns out that the ground clearance throughout the body is even greater than agreed upon. The only exception is a small protrusion from the pipe. However, it does not fall below the stated 195 mm.
