Safety

Should I put it on my shortlist?

In a fiercely competitive segment, the ASX consistently delivers excellent value, especially with the MR variant priced below $30k.

Despite its classification as a compact SUV, it provides remarkable spaciousness and size, making it one of the larger options within this category.

While the vehicle has been in existence for over 13 years, signs of aging are noticeable in the interior, but the exterior design continues to captivate many potential buyers.

Mitsubishi's comprehensive warranty and capped price servicing program spanning a decade are substantial offerings that may align perfectly with your requirements for an affordable compact SUV.
