The 2023 Mitsubishi ASX is the small SUV that refuses to leave the party, turning up with familiar looks, comfy seats, and a playlist from 2014.
Most variants run a 2.0-litre petrol and CVT driving the front wheels; some upper trims score a 2.4 for a bit more shove, but none feel sporty.
Ride and visibility are friendly, the cabin is practical, and the 10-year conditional warranty is a crowd-pleaser, though the tech feels a generation behind.
Safety kit is acceptable but basic by 2023 standards, and the old ANCAP rating doesn’t impress like it used to.
If you want cheap-to-run, easy city motoring, it’s fine; if you want sparkle, there are sharper rivals from Korea and Japan that’ll show it a clean pair of heels.
In short: honest value, low drama, zero excitement—like instant coffee in SUV form.
