The facelifted Mitsubishi ASX has reached UK shores
with a base price of £ 20,295 (US$ 25k) OTR. The price refers to the base
Dynamic trim level with a five-speed manual gearbox and front-wheel drive. On
the outside, the ASX Dynamic comes equipped as standard with 18-inch alloys,
full-LED headlights with auto leveling, LED DRLs, and halogen fog lights.
In the cabin, the entry-level 2020 ASX gets new
fabric upholstery with heated front seats, automatic air conditioning, cruise
control, reversing camera, and Keyless Operation System with engine start/stop.
It also gains the new eight-inch touchscreen Smartphone-link Display Audio
(SDA) infotainment system with DAB, Bluetooth, and Apple CarPlay and Android
Auto as standard.
Next up is the Exceed which, with the same
transmission and front-wheel drive, starts at £ 23,095 (US$ 28,475). This trim adds
a panoramic glass roof, black roof rails, chrome exterior door handles, LED
front fog lights, leather upholstery with electric driver’s seat, TomTom
navigation system, as well as Blind Spot Warning with Lane Change Assist and
Rear Cross Traffic Alert.
Unlike the Dynamic, this grade can also be had with
all-wheel drive and a CVT that has a six-speed “Sports” mode and paddle
shifters, for £ 25,945 (US$ 31,980).
All versions are powered by a naturally aspirated
2.0-liter MIVEC petrol four which delivers 150 PS and 195 Nm of torque. According to Mitsubishi, the new engine offers better
performance and increased refinement compared to the outgoing 115 PS 1.6-liter unit.
Besides the refreshed exterior styling, other
updates on all 2020 ASX models include two new exterior colors (Red Diamond and
Oak Brown), new seat fabrics for the Dynamic, as well as new leather trim,
black headliner, and piano black and silver accents on the Exceed.
