Compact crossover Mitsubishi ASX for the European market was shown back in 2010 in Geneva. Since then, the ASX has gone through a couple of minor restyles. But in general, the recognizable profile of Lancer X, on the platform of which the car is made, remained without significant changes. While the elder brother "Outlander" completely changed his appearance.

For the Russian market, the Mitsubishi ASX crossover is assembled in Japan. Exactly japanese assembly provides great quality and vehicle reliability. As for the technical features, in our country the car is presented with three petrol engines with a working volume 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, buyers should be pleased with the ground clearance, which is almost 20 centimeters, or more precisely, clearance ASX 195 mm... There are both front-wheel drive and all-wheel drive versions car. but four-wheel drive the crossover gets only in combination with a top-end 2-liter engine.

Exterior Mitsubishi ASX quite similar to sedan Lancer X, especially in the front. The designers have borrowed quite a few of the saloon's characteristic features. The main thing that immediately catches the eye is a large radiator grill in the form of a trapezoid. By the way, as a result of the last restyling, LED daytime running lights were added to the front foglights (built into the bumpers) running lights... See photos of the ASX crossover further.

Mitsubishi ASX Salon made very soundly. Nice, and in some places soft to the touch plastic. Comfortable seating, multifunction steering wheel. Monitor in the center console. The more expensive equipment has a rather large sunroof. Transformation rear seats allows you to easily increase the loading space for transporting various things.

Luggage compartment The ASX is small, but due to the fact that the rear seats fold down to an almost flat floor, an impressive volume is obtained for loading rather large things. Photo Mitsubishi trunk ASX below.

Specifications Mitsubishi ASX

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

So, base engine Mitsubishi ASX 1.6 liter, this is a gasoline in-line, 4-cylinder, 16-valve unit with an electronic valve timing control system. Motor power 117 HP at 154 Nm of torque. Acceleration to the first hundred with this engine is 11.4 seconds, and the maximum speed is 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 1.8-liter engine produces 140 horses with a maximum torque of 177 Nm. Acceleration in combination with a continuously variable transmission to 100 km / h in 12.7 seconds, and a top speed of 189 km. What's interesting is more powerful engine crossover ASX did not add dynamism to the crossover, for which fuel consumption increased. So in mixed mode, it is 7.4 liters. By the way, 1.6 and 1.8 engines consume only AI-95 gasoline, while the 2-liter one “eats” AI-92.

The top 2-liter petrol engine with which only all-wheel drive transmission compact crossover Mitsubishi produces 150 horsepower and 197 Nm of torque. Acceleration to the first hundred is 11.7 seconds, and a top speed of 191 km / h. Naturally, this motor is also the most voracious, as the consumption in mixed mode is 7.7 liters. Interestingly, the manufacturer indicates urban consumption 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 the mode 2WD only the front wheels are leading. In the mode 4WD auto, this is still a front-wheel drive car, but if necessary they are connected rear wheels without the participation of the driver. That is, when the front wheels slip, Automatic blocking differential and torque is transmitted to the rear wheels.

Mode forced blocking 4WD Lock locks the differential constantly and the car turns into an SUV and is ready to conquer various terrain in 4x4 mode. It should be borne in mind that fuel consumption in this mode is increased, plus acceleration dynamics suffers.

Mitsubishi ASX video

We watch a video review of the Mitsubishi ASX.

By the way, in USA Mitsubishi The ASX is marketed under the Outlander Sport name. In the North American market, this is the best-selling Mitsubishi model at the moment. The most interesting thing is that this is not the case in our country. Outlander of the Kaluga assembly remains the best-selling one.

The fashion for parquet SUVs without a frame structure has been actively developing since 2007-2008, and soon there was a demand for such cars among people who do not leave the city. But in an urban setting large machines not held in high esteem and manufacturers have offered compact and sub-compact crossovers specifically for residents of megacities.

It is in order to fill this niche that Mitsubishi released the ASX crossover. For the first time, the concept model appeared in 2007 under the name Concept-cX. Already at that time, the model looked like a serial model, but the financial and economic crisis slightly changed plans, and itself production model debuted only in 2010 in Geneva under the name ASX. The Japanese, of course, are masters of splurge and invent loud names, and the ASX abbreviation stands for Active Sport X-over - an SUV for active driving, but still it is worth saying that Mitsubishi asx specifications really do not allow already small competitors to compare with him.

Geometric indicators of the car

As a true city dweller, the ASX has a very compact size:

length 4295 mm
width 1770 mm
height 1625 mm
clearance 195 mm
wheelbase - 2670 mm
luggage compartment volume is an impressive 415 liters
tank volume - 63 l
unloaded weight - 1300 kg,
gross weight - 1870 kg.

After a cosmetic update in 2013, the main dimensions have not changed. The luggage compartment has become slightly smaller - 384 liters (1219 liters with folded seats back row) and the volume of the fuel tank was reduced to 60 liters. In addition, the front and rear bumpers have been changed, more chrome has appeared, and the geometry of the radiator grill has changed.

Changes in technically: shock absorbers were reconfigured, bushings-silent blocks were replaced and levers with increased rigidity were introduced. The handbrake mechanism is now integrated into stopping support one of the rear wheels. Suspension changes were made due to customer feedback. Mitsubishi puts a big stake on our market, and therefore, before updating the model, brand engineers came to Russia to communicate with the owners and a focus group.

Inside the car, the shape of the transmission mode selection washer has changed, the navigation system has been modernized - now it supports SD memory cards.

Despite its compactness, ASX is built on a completely mature platform that has passed many tests and is installed on Lancer last generation and now not produced Outlander XL.

Engines and gearboxes

The model, both before and after the update, was supplied to the Russian market with three gasoline units:

1.6 liters, 117 hp and a torque of 154 Nm at 4 thousand rpm. This engine can be described as calm, taking into account the mass of the car, it does not go fast - the speedometer needle rises to 100 km / h in 11.4 seconds. But the motor is quite economical and consumes about 8 liters in city mode and 6.1 liters in highway mode. This engine was developed in conjunction with by Daimler and was installed on the Mitsubishi Colt back in 2004. Paired with this power unit, a five-speed manual transmission was installed.
1.8 liters with a capacity of 140 hp. (143 hp for Europe). The torque was 177 Nm at 4250 rpm. This unit was developed jointly with Hyundai and Crysler and although it was more powerful than the base engine, it could not boast of the same dynamics. Acceleration to 100 km / h is a long 13.1 seconds, and for 100 km of run in the city, 9.8 liters (6.4 liters on the highway) leave. The capabilities of the motor are curtailed due to the uncontested variator transmission. Undoubtedly, such a transmission has its advantages - amazing smoothness, but you have to pay for it with mediocre dynamics with a sufficiently powerful engine. Another advantage of the variator is its reliability, provided regular replacement oils.
2.0 liters is the most powerful motor for ASX in our market, producing 150 hp and 197 Nm of torque. The names of this version have four-wheel drive, in combination with the same variator. The car accelerates to "hundreds" in 11.9 seconds and consumes 10.5 liters in the city and 8.1 liters on the highway.
due to high requirements for diesel fuel one of the most interesting power units: 1.8 liters with 150 hp and a torque of 300 Nm. It is the best-selling engine of the ASX in Europe due to its excellent dynamic and performance characteristics.

All-wheel drive system

The Mitsubishi company has been producing SUVs for several years, and therefore Mitsubishi ASX's technical characteristics are more reminiscent of the older models of the brand.

In the case of ASX, there is one of key features all-wheel drive - the ability to switch modes. Even larger and more expensive crossovers do not provide the owner with a choice of drive, everything is fueled by electronics. But compact ASX not, the owner can enable the following modes at his own discretion:

"Auto" mode, which allows you to leave everything at the mercy of the computer.
ON mode exclusively front wheel drive to move around good roads, which also allows you to save fuel.
4x4 Lock mode, which allows you to overcome all sorts of obstacles, and in which rear drive it is connected forcibly, and does not turn on when the front wheels slip.

ASX configurations

Pick up complete set ASX will not amount special labor for a wide variety of budgets, the price range of the model is from 699,000 rubles to 1,249,900 rubles. This price range fits 12 various configurations models.

Model with base engine 1.6 liter front-wheel drive and manual transmission sold in three versions:

Inform 2WD - 699,000 rubles - is equipped in a Spartan style and does not even have heated front seats or any audio system, which is surprising for such a price. Of the devices responsible for comfort, there is only air conditioning.
Invite 2 WD - 779,990 rubles - slightly better equipped and includes a set of the most required systems but there are still 2 airbags, for the driver and front passenger as in the basic version
Intense 2 WD - 829,990 p. - the most expensive version for this motor, it is equipped noticeably richer: the number of airbags increases significantly, including side curtains and a knee airbag for the driver. Also appear fog lights, alloy wheels, roof rails, leather-trimmed steering wheel and gearshift knob and color display on the dashboard.

The configurations for the version with a 1.8-liter engine are generally equipped in the same way as the younger version with a 1.6-liter engine, but all have a variator:

Inform 2WD - 849,990 p. In addition to the basic elements, the version with a smaller engine includes: Dynamic Stability Control, Hill Assist, virtual gear shift paddles, heated front seats and a 4-speaker audio system.
Invite 2 WD - 899,990 p. Compared to the 1.6, Invite 2 WD is supplemented with the following elements: stability control and anti-slip system, uphill assist, passenger and driver side airbags, curtain airbags for both rows, driver's knee airbag, PTF, light-alloy wheels wheels, roof rails, paddle shifters, leather steering wheel and gearbox knobs, color display on the dashboard.
Intense 2 WD - 969,990 p.

Configurations with a 2-liter engine are equipped only with a variator and a plug-in all-wheel drive. In total, 4 versions of this configuration are sold, the first three (from 979,990 to 1,099,990 rubles) are equipped exactly like the version with a 1.8 liter engine, but there is another version with the most complete optional set:

Exclusive 4WD worth 1,249,990 rubles, which includes: xenon headlights with auto-corrector, alloy wheels 17 with a similar spare wheel, Rockford Fostgate audio system with 8 speakers and a subwoofer, navigation system, keyless entry system and panoramic glass roof.

Conclusion

It is not surprising that the ASX is very popular with domestic buyers, according to the technical characteristics, the clearance of the Mitsubishi ASX is 198 mm, which is simply an outstanding result for a compact crossover. Of the direct competitors, only the Skoda Yeti and the Opel Mokka can be distinguished, but neither one nor the other will be able to compete with off-road capabilities with it and do not have such an impressive ground clearance. ASX sells well not only in our country, but also in Europe. Seeing this state of affairs, the allies from Peugeot and Citroen even made their crossovers based on ASX: Peugeot 4008 and Citroen C4 AirCross.

This result was achieved thanks to weak motors and modest, outdated equipment in the cheapest configuration. By crossover standards, Mitsubishi is outdated. If we are talking about an unassuming and not spoiled luxury person, then the Mitsubishi ASX will be a pleasant find for him. But still, even a driver who has seen a lot this model can both surprise and interest.

Mitsubishi ASX is a parquet SUV that is perfect for the everyday life of the average person. The car is designed on the basis of the sensational Mitsubishi outlander XL. Wheelbase remained the same, and the size of the crossover was reduced. Car price starts from 734 thousand rubles.

The Japanese have changed radically new model... Externally, the new ASX has turned out to be more sophisticated and attractive compared to its predecessor. New body became streamlined and wedge-shaped, which sets it apart from the flow of cars on the city highway and technically gives it aerodynamics. Headlamp squint is standard for Mitsubishi models. Its small size is perfect for a modern city.

It looks less feminine compared to crossovers from other manufacturers, due to the sharp side lines. On the front of the new crossover flaunts chrome grille radiator. The updated body has improved noise insulation. The small size of the car will help you feel comfortable in the city when parking, and special systems will also help on the off-road. The roof rack is clearly not suitable for families with children, due to the lack of space for a bicycle or stroller.

A new interior design was also worked out. The quality of the finish has improved significantly due to complaints about the previous model. New display, average quality level, on the dashboard. Slightly modified torpedo. Near the steering wheel, the same monochrome display remains that met us in previous cars. In the interior of the car, the design of the lever was also changed, the transmission mode was changed and the navigation was improved - in the new model it uses memory cards. Despite its small size, the ASX is designed on a more premium platform, which has been modified by Mitsubishi engineers.

There is also an adjustment of the front seats for height and reach. In the most expensive configuration, the top appeared a roof with a panoramic view... There is also a lighting in the cabin, which will delight passengers and create an atmosphere of comfort.

Excellent visibility is provided by well-designed windows. Rear parking sensors provide convenient parking in the city. Three people can fit in the back, but when the rear seats are fully loaded, passengers will definitely not feel a comfortable ride.

Between the Mitsubishi ASX and the Outlander, the company wants to start producing an intermediate version. Why did we decide that? And from the fact that it is easy to come to this conclusion if you look at the design of the updated ASX. Noise isolation is not really high level... At low rpm (3000 per minute), discomfort is not felt, but at 100 km per hour, the noise from under the tires starts to get on your nerves. With still more speed, the sounds of the engine begin to make their way into the cabin. For a person who adheres to the optimal speed mode, no particular discomfort due to noise is expected.

Like a real Mitsubishi SUV ASH technical specifications:

The width ranges from 1775 to 1780 mm.
Length about 4300 mm.
The ground clearance is 195 mm.
Wheel size within 2675 mm.
Height 1625 mm.
Trunk dimensions 420 liters.
The volume of the tank is 63 liters.
Unladen weight on board 1300 kg.
High load capacity 1870 kg.

Mitsubishi ASX characteristics differ from the version of previous years, with a slightly improved transmission, which completely suited the owners in its past state. I must say that rear axle unlike parquet crossovers from other manufacturers, it has a variation of its work. You can either disable or enable it. After the change in appearance car, which happened in 2015, the dimensions have changed slightly. The trunk is slightly smaller and the size of the gas tank has been reduced to 60 liters.

Great expectations given brand imposes on the Russian market. Before the release of this model, chief engineers came to Russia in order to find out the reviews of domestic owners.

The Mitsubishi ASX also changed its technical characteristics: shock absorbers were redesigned, levers with increased fluid were introduced. The hand brake system is integrated into the brake caliper of one of the thrusters rear wheels... Changes have occurred in the suspension due to complaints from the owners of the previous version of the SUV.

The updated model is available on the Russian market with three gasoline engines:

1.6 liters, the power of which is 120 horsepower and a torque of 155 Nm at 4 thousand rpm. The engine is not very fast. It accelerates to 100 km / h in 11.5 seconds. Its main advantage is efficiency. In the city, it consumes about 8 liters, and 6 liters on the highway. It has been installed on Mitsubishi since 2004. This motor is reliable, it comes with a five-speed gearbox.

1.8 liters with 140 horsepower and 177 Nm of torque at 4300 rpm. The aggregate engine itself is a development of Hyundai and Chrysler. Its disadvantage is that it is more powerful, but the performance of this engine is at a poor level. Overclocking this motor unit 13 seconds to 100 km. Consumes gasoline unit 10 liters in the city. 6.5 liters on the highway. Such poor performance due to the uncontested variable transmission, but there are also advantages - it is an excellent smoothness of the ride. Another main advantage is its reliability under the conditions of regular oil changes in the car.

2.0 liters- the most powerful motor for this line. Has 150 horsepower and 200 Nm of torque. It is all-wheel drive, with the same variator. It accelerates to one hundred kilometers per hour in 12 seconds and consumes 10 liters in the city and on the highway 8 liters.

There is also 1.8 liter engine... Power 150 horse strong motors... Torque 300 Nm. It is the best-selling engine from the ASX line in Europe, but due to the high performance requirements of diesel engines in our country, it is not supplied to Russia.

All-wheel drive with the ability to switch modes in the ASX is one of the main distinctive features... This cannot be seen in more expensive cars of this brand. Several modes can be enabled in Mitsubishi ASX:

Auto mode, with the ability to partially drive the car.
Front-wheel drive engages for good terrain while maintaining fuel economy.
All-wheel drive mode. It makes it possible to move around hard-to-reach terrain. Here, rear-wheel drive works continuously, and not only when the front wheels slip.

Differences in trim levels

Prices for configurations in the area vary 700,000 rubles up to 1,250,000 rubles... There are 12 trim levels in this range. Technical Mitsubishi characteristics ASX is different for each configuration.

This is Inform 2WD. Price 700,000 rubles... Seat heating is not included in this configuration. And also in it you will not find an audio system, which is very strange for a relatively high price compared to competitors. It will be possible to find only a simple air conditioner, which is a very dubious achievement.
Invite 2WD. Price 780,000 rubles... Here, the comfort is at a good level, but there are also only two airbags - for the front passengers.
Intense 2WD. Price 830,000 rubles... The most expensive equipment for the motor, and such an assembly is noticeably improved. There are both rear airbags and side curtains with knee cushion for front seat... And also the package includes fog lights, crossover roof rails, leather trim and a steering wheel with a display on the panel.

Inform 2WD. Price 850000 ... There is, in contrast to the configuration of the 1.6 liter engine, 2 pairs of speakers.
Invite 2WD. Price 900000 ... In addition to the motor, the kit includes a stabilization system, which provides the driver with assistance when lifting. There are also airbags for passengers and the driver, curtains on the windows for the rear seats, a pillow for the driver's knees, light wheels, a screen on the dashboard.
Intense 2WD. Price 970000 rubles. Compared to the previous configuration, the stability control system and the traction control system are also added. And there is also an assistant when driving uphill, leather trim, 3 pairs of speakers, USB connector,.

For 2-liter engines, there are only two configurations with a variator and a front-wheel drive system. In general, there are four configuration versions on sale, the first three, costing from 980,000 to 1,100,000 rubles, the number of amenities is similar to the 1.8 l engine version, and latest version- Exclusive 4WD.

Highest cost for Mitsubishi ASX - 1,250,000 rubles. High price includes xenon headlights, seventeenth discs, speakers with a subwoofer. There is also navigation with a panoramic roof.

Outside city streets, the gasoline ASX performs much better. Its movement becomes smoother. The gearbox holds the engine, which boils in the lower rods, until the vehicle accelerates or hits the off-road. Mitsubishi ASX sounds pleasant during acceleration, although it does not create a "wow" effect. The gearbox is very responsive. Switching between the six preset ratios may seem a little unpleasant, which feels like a step back from the clarity of modern double clutches, but in practice it works well. The engine really comes alive with every revolution. On rough terrain, it shows itself in all its glory at low revs.

When the car hits the asphalt, it drives clean. Nothing can disturb you, the engine sounds good. Management after some time becomes intuitive. That is, you understand how the car will behave in the next turn. The bank is present, but this is more a plus than a minus. Even as the speed rises, it still feels smooth and reliable in every movement of the crossover.

On the highway, the car performed well. At high speed there is no need to steer, but in the near-zero zone there is a drawdown in driving.

There are also disadvantages, such as a small number of trim levels when choosing a motor. Fuel consumption also showed itself not on the best side. With the air conditioner turned on and driving fast, the consumption increased to significant figures.

The plus, of course, are:

Suspension of the model, which proved to be excellent both on the roads of ordinary cities and off-road.
Compared to the competition, in some places where other cars slowed down, the ASX moved without any reduction in speed.
ASX will delight owners while driving on snowy roads.
The driving characteristics of the Mitsubishi ASX are at a high level.
The salon of this model is quite cozy and comfortable.
The Japanese did a good job with the design too. It is discreet, but at the same time attractive.

The disadvantages include:

Gasoline consumption at high speed. But at 1, 6 liter engines these figures are reduced by 25%.
And also a small trunk should be attributed to the disadvantages, which makes the car not very convenient for families.
V winter time discomfort in using the car can be caused by wipers. They can freeze due to the fact that the heated glass zone is located lower than in other machines.

This model is in great demand for Russian market what happened due to the fact that technical characteristics of Mitsubishi АСХ characteristics in combination with a high ground clearance of 199 mm are perfect for Russian roads... And also a plus is the high versatility of the crossover. It will look great both off-road and on the roads of a modern Russian metropolis. Looking at Mitsubishi brand and the demand for their cars throughout Europe, companies such as Citroen and Peugeot created on the basis of this SUV your models. What says about high quality cars.

If you need to choose an all-wheel drive or mono-drive engine, you need to understand why you need this model. If you are a lover of driving in long journey over rough terrain and want to combine this with driving around the city, this is perfect four-wheel drive vehicle, and if you prefer driving in the city, then a mono drive is enough for you.

The updated ASX does not claim to be ranked special car, but she will cope with her duties for sure. With such fuel economy, pleasant handling and low prices compared to other cars in this class, there are clearly no competitors. Although the engine has its drawbacks, it lacks power on the roads of Russia, and the parquet SUV itself moves slowly on the road and it will not be able to offer anything to fans of fast driving. But Mitsubishi focuses only on its own circle of buyers who are not ready to change this brand for something else, and are loyal to the company to the end.

A small crossover Mitsubishi ASX was presented at European market in 2010 at the Geneva exhibition. Since then, the model has undergone minor external changes... However, the general profile similar to the Lancer X (on its basis the car was developed) has been preserved. At the same time, Outlander's older brother 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 is supplied in three variations. gasoline engine: 1.6; 1.8; 2 liters. On the European market you can find diesel engine.

The driver should be pleased with the big 20 cm clearance between the body and the road. The stated Clearance of the Mitsubishi ASX is 195 mm. Both four-wheel drive and front-wheel drive modifications are produced. It should be noted 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 the sedan. The first thing that immediately becomes noticeable is the large trapezoidal grille.

Attention! A restyled version was recently released, in which daytime led lights.

Mitsubishi ASH built on the basis independent suspension McFerson front and a multi-link system with anti-roll bars. The car uses ventilated disc brakes on both wheels. Also, in some trim levels, emergency braking mechanisms and other add-ons are available.

Checking the declared characteristics

Such information will be useful to people who choose Mitsubishi ASH for themselves. For some, the issue of clearance is very important, a small clearance will not always be able to provide the proper level of operation. In the documentation for the ASX, a figure of 195 mm is declared. However, there is no detailed and accurate information anywhere.

All measurements will be carried out using a regular tape measure. First, it is worth discussing the characteristics of the model under test. Installed 1.6 liter engine with manual gearbox, front-wheel drive. Installed on the machine winter tires Falcen. Wheels from the factory are 16 inches. The trunk contains a spare wheel and a standard set of tools. There were no changes or modifications to the body. In fact, this is Mitsubishi ASX's basic configuration... Tire pressure is measured - 2.2 atmospheres. Dimensions are made on a flat concrete road.

The measurements were taken in an unusual way. The craftsman used a tape measure while measuring lying on his side. This can lead to small errors. Measurement at the front showed a ground clearance of 200 mm.

Next, let's move to back Mitsubishi ASH, there is an exhaust pipe. It does not 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 at the “ear” fixation points. Its diameter is 53 mm, and then the pipe gradually increases to 60 mm. The size of the exhaust emission relative to the rest of the body is approximately 15 millimeters.

One of the most sore spots in most cars are sills and corrugations. It is they who often cling to the tall "speed bumps". To exclude problems, measurements were made under the thresholds of the driver's seat. There was plenty of room for various maneuvers. The ground clearance of the Mitsubishi ASX fully complies with the declared characteristics. As a result, it turns out that the clearance throughout the body is even more than specified. The only exception is a small protrusion from the pipe. However, it does not fall below the declared 195 mm.

The ASX body is considered one of the most attractive of the entire line of vehicles of the same class. It is for this reason that the model is very popular in the profile market. On the other hand, before making a purchase, it will not be superfluous to find out what features the Mitsubishi ASX body is characterized by, how well it is protected from corrosion, and so on.

For many potential customers, body size is one of the most important factors when choosing vehicle... The larger the car is, the more difficult it is to drive in the urban rhythm. On the other hand, safety is greatly improved. Paying attention to the Mitsubishi ASX, the dimensions of the body should be measured immediately according to 3 criteria:

length;
width;
height.

When measuring the length, the most "protruding" point in the front part is taken as the basis, which leads to the farthest part on rear bumper... With regard to the width, the measurement is taken at the widest point. Either the center pillars are taken as a basis, or wheel arch at the front or rear of the vehicle. But the height causes certain difficulties. Its measurement takes place on a flat surface, from the ground and up to the highest point on the roof of the car. A logical question arises - what is difficult here? The answer is nothing, just do not forget that the rails located on the sides of the roof of the car are not taken into account when measuring. Therefore, you should "throw" a couple of centimeters in advance.
