Mitsubishi ASX (2010-2020) Pros and Cons

Pros	Cons
More rugged than most crossovers	The 2.2-litre diesel needs frequent servicing
Proper 4x4 versions are available	Dated and dull driving experience
Well equipped whichever model you choose	Poorly finished cabin

Quick Summary

The Mitsubishi ASX (2010-2020) is a practical compact SUV that launched as a rival to the Nissan Qashqai and Skoda Yeti. Available in front-wheel-drive and 4x4 versions, it offers an upright driving position and SUV styling with lower running costs than traditional off-roaders. The 442-litre boot provides generous luggage space, and the rear seats fold with a 60/40 split and ski hatch for longer items. Standard equipment is generous across the range, including air-conditioning, alloy wheels, and safety features on entry-level models, with higher trims adding climate control, heated seats, leather upholstery, and modern infotainment systems.

The engine line-up has evolved significantly over the model's life. Early models featured a 115bhp 1.6-litre petrol or 148bhp 1.8 DiD diesel, with a 2.2-litre diesel arriving in 2013 offering superior mid-range power and automatic transmission. Later, the 1.8 was replaced by a more economical 1.6-litre diesel. The final years saw petrol become the sole option with a 148bhp 2.0-litre engine. Fuel economy varies by engine: the 1.6 diesel achieves around 55mpg, whilst the 2.2 diesel manages approximately 40mpg. Running costs are competitive, with insurance groups starting from 13 of 50, and the 1.6 diesel benefits from low annual tax of £30 if registered before April 2017. However, the ASX isn't engaging to drive—the ride is comfortable but unremarkable, and the cabin lacks premium finishes despite practical design.

Best for: Budget-conscious buyers seeking a practical compact SUV with genuine 4x4 capability, those prioritising generous standard equipment, and drivers wanting low running costs with a diesel engine.

Not ideal for: Drivers seeking an engaging driving experience, those wanting a premium cabin finish, or buyers comparing with newer rivals offering more space and modern technology.


Comparison vs Key Rivals



The Verdict

You should buy the ASX if: You're seeking a practical compact SUV with genuine 4x4 capability, prioritising generous standard equipment and low running costs, or looking for a budget-friendly option with rugged styling.

Consider alternatives if: You value engaging driving dynamics, premium cabin finishes, or want a more modern compact SUV with greater interior space and technology.

Competitive Position: The Mitsubishi ASX (2010-2020) occupies a practical middle ground in the compact SUV segment, offering genuine 4x4 capability and generous equipment at an affordable price. However, it lags behind rivals like the Skoda Yeti and Nissan Qashqai in driving engagement and cabin quality. Whilst the ASX delivers solid practicality and value for budget-conscious buyers, competitors offer more dynamic handling and premium finishes. The ASX makes most sense as a used purchase, where its strong reliability and low running costs—particularly with diesel engines—provide genuine value. For those prioritising ruggedness and affordability over driving excitement, it remains a sensible choice.
