The fuel consumption of the Mitsubishi ASX 1.6L manual version is not high, with a fuel consumption of 6.3L/100KM. Below is a related introduction to the Mitsubishi ASX: 1. The length, width, and height of the Mitsubishi ASX are 4375/1770/1615mm, with a wheelbase of 2670mm. 2. It is equipped with a 1.6L/2.0L naturally aspirated engine, with a maximum horsepower of 124hp/167hp and a peak torque of 149Nm/197Nm. 3. Transmission: 5-speed manual transmission/CVT continuously variable transmission (simulating 6 gears).
As an owner of a Mitsubishi ASX 1.6L manual transmission, I’d like to share some practical insights. This car isn’t extremely fuel-hungry, but it’s not a fuel-saving champion either. In congested city driving, fuel consumption can spike to 8-9 liters per 100 km, mainly because the 1.6L engine is relatively small for an SUV, requiring higher RPMs during frequent starts. On smooth highways, it can drop to 6-7 liters, with the manual transmission saving about 1 liter compared to the automatic version. However, it’s still thirstier than small-displacement sedans. I recommend cultivating smooth driving habits—avoiding sudden braking or acceleration—and regularly checking tire pressure and air filters. Poor road conditions or full loads can significantly increase fuel consumption. The first two years are decent, but after three to five years, engine aging might slightly raise consumption. Personally, I consider it average; whether it’s worth buying depends on your commuting needs.
