What are the misconceptions about the three major components of the ASX?
2 Answers
2.0 and above models feature fully imported three major components, except for the manual 2.0 transmission, and neither the engine nor transmission of the manual 1.6 are imported. Below is a related introduction to the ASX: Design: It adopts an independent suspension structure with front MacPherson struts and rear multi-link, featuring a heavier steering wheel and brake pedal, embodying a robust style. The initial stage of the suspension is relatively soft, while the mid-to-late stages are firmer, allowing the ASX to handle minor road bumps excellently and providing good support during medium-high speeds or aggressive driving. Configuration: The entire lineup lacks ESP, tire pressure monitoring, and cruise control. Halogen lights are standard across all models, along with keyless start and entry, roof rack, leather multifunction steering wheel, rearview camera, power-adjustable driver's seat, folding mirrors, and navigation. The central control screen is only available in some mid-to-high-end configurations.
Many people think the ASX's engine is too weak and lacks power, but in reality, it's sufficient for city driving with smooth acceleration—don't just focus on the specs. The transmission often gets criticized for its CVT being unreliable and prone to failure, but in fact, it's designed to be durable and performs reliably with proper maintenance. The chassis is frequently complained about for being too stiff and uncomfortable, supposedly poor for off-roading, but its tuning is actually geared toward urban comfort, effectively filtering out minor bumps. With so many misconceptions, it's easy for beginners to save money in the wrong places. Regular checks on the three major components (engine, transmission, and chassis) can prevent issues and extend the car's lifespan.
