Mitsubishi ASX is equipped with two types of engines: a 1.6L naturally aspirated engine with 124 horsepower, a maximum torque of 149 Nm, a maximum power speed of 6000 rpm, and a maximum torque speed of 4000 rpm; and a 2.0L naturally aspirated engine with 167 horsepower, a maximum torque of 197 Nm, a maximum power speed of 6000 rpm, and a maximum torque speed of 4200 rpm. The Mitsubishi ASX is a city SUV produced by Mitsubishi Motors. The DVD navigation system equipped in this vehicle not only features precise navigation but also has strong compatibility, supporting DVD, CD, USB, iPod, Bluetooth, etc.

I know the Mitsubishi ASX is positioned as an economical and practical SUV, commonly equipped with 1.6L and 2.0L gasoline engines. The latest version basically comes standard with a 2.0L direct-injection engine featuring MIVEC technology, delivering around 150 horsepower. It drives smoothly in the city and has decent power for climbing hills. The fuel consumption is reasonable, averaging 7-8 liters per 100 km, and maintenance is straightforward with regular oil and filter changes. The engine reliability is good—I've driven a friend's car and felt it had no major issues within three years, except for occasional jerking at low speeds, which is mostly due to software tuning, unlike the more delicate Honda CR-V. If you choose the ASX, the engine is its core advantage, being much more fuel-efficient than the Hyundai ix35 in the same price range, making it suitable for commuting and short trips.

I often help people with car repairs, and I've noticed that most Mitsubishi ASX engines are 2.0-liter gasoline models, with a few early versions using 1.6-liter ones. The design is quite solid, with few faults, but I recommend checking the spark plugs and belts annually to ensure fuel efficiency doesn't drop. The engine responds quickly when accelerating above 60 mph, handles small hills effortlessly, and remains quiet in city driving. Fuel consumption is around 7-8 liters per 100 km, more stable than comparable SUVs like the Nissan Qashqai. DIY maintenance can save money, and replacing the air filter can extend its lifespan. Feedback from owner groups suggests the engine is durable, performing well even after 80,000 km, unlike some German cars that often have annoying electronic issues. Overall, the ASX engine is a cost-effective choice, but avoid driving too aggressively—gentle driving is more reliable.

The Mitsubishi ASX typically comes with a 2.0L gasoline engine producing around 150 horsepower. Having test-driven several models, I found its acceleration more linear compared to the Toyota RAV4, with smoother low-speed starts and significantly better noise control. Fuel consumption averages 7-8L/100km—not ultra-efficient but reasonable. The engine boasts strong reliability and lower maintenance costs, unlike the more finicky Mazda CX-5. It performs adequately on highways and handles mountain curves well, making it ideal for budget-conscious driving enthusiasts.
