Mitsubishi ASX released in Auto Diesel for the first time. Now with a 2.2-litre ‘DiD’ four-cylinder turbo-diesel, Mitsubishi has lowered the price of entry for the diesel by $3000 over the outgoing variant, thanks to the addition of a new entry four-wheel-drive version, priced at $31,990 plus on-road costs.
The ASX has proven to be a popular model for Mitsubishi with more than 2300 examples sold to date this year and the addition of an automatic diesel version is expected to bolster sales.
The light SUV segment is fiercely competitive and the new ASX will have the likes of the top-selling Hyundai ix35, Nissan Dualis and Subaru XV to contend with.
