Safety
2023: The current ASX is unrated by the independent crash-test body ANCAP because its last crash test in 2014 exceeds the six-year expiry period now applied to vehicles.
The ASX was previously a five-star car, but it would probably lose a star if tested today due to its rudimentary active safety technology, some of which is missing from the lower-spec variants.
All ASXs are equipped with dual frontal, side chest and side head (curtain) airbags, and a driver knee airbag as standard.
Other range-wide safety items include ABS, emergency autonomous braking (which Mitsubishi calls a Forward Collision Mitigation system) and a rear view camera.
Warranty and servicing
All new Mitsubishis sold gain access to Mitsubishi's leading Diamond Advantage coverage, with a standard vehicle warranty of five years/100,000kms with capped price servicing in place for a whopping ten years.
Keep up with those scheduled services, all within the authorised Mitsubishi network of course, and Mitsubishi will almost double your vehicle's warranty to an impressive ten years/200,000kms.
New owners also receive up to four years of complimentary roadside assist.
Service intervals occur annually, or every 15,000kms - whichever comes first.
