Mitsubishi is nowhere near what it once used to be, years ago. In most markets, the once star-studded line-up has been whittled down to mostly economy cars and crossovers. Mitsubishi ASX is one of the volume sellers for the brand and as the time has come to revive it for a new generation, they have turned to their partner brand for help. And here it is, the 2023 Mitsubishi ASX.
The Mitsubishi ASX has been around for a while now, carrying on in 2017 with a facelift. In the recently-concluded 2017 Chicago Motor Show, Mitsubishi unwrapped a new special edition of the 2017 ASX crossover called the LE or Limited Edition. The Limited Edition goes on sale in the US with the Outlander Sport moniker, as it is known in the American market
The month of August has registered a bunch of recalls in the U.S. that might affect the cars in our market as well. The Takata Airbag related problems continue to surface, with Jaguar Land Rover initiating a recall for the same in the past month.
Mitsubishi held its GCC launch event for their all-new 2011 ASX sub-compact crossover at the Dubai Autodrome racetrack a couple of weeks ago. To make things interesting, they even had a few 2010 Nissan Qashqai crossovers at hand for comparison. Incidentally, the Qashqai has been facelifted for 2011, though changes are minimal.
The 2011 Mitsubishi ASX, also known as the RVR or the Outlander Sport in other countries, has been officially launched in the UAE. The sub-compact crossover fits in a limited market segment which is currently occupied by only a handful of direct competitors.
