Mitsubishi’s mainstay small SUV, the ASX, soldiers on into its fourteenth year on sale in 2024 with a couple of small tweaks to see it through to… well, whenever the factory decides that it’s time to turn off the lights on one of the company’s longest selling models.
The 2024 Mitsubishi ASX line-up will be bolstered by the addition of a new option pack for the lower-end ES variant.
Called the Street accessory pack, it adds a brace of exterior trim items, including a new front bar, rear spoiler, front and rear skid plates and Street decals, along with new door scuff plates and a leather-trimmed gear shifter.
The ES Street is unchanged mechanically, with the increasingly undergunned nat-atmo 2.0-litre petrol engine and CVT transmission unchanged.
Available only with white, silver or black paint, the ASX ES Street will set you back $30,490 before on-road costs.
The mid-spec ES and MR grades gain lane departure warning as a standard feature. Active lane-keep assistance remains unavailable for the ASX.
There’s a $500 price bump across the range, as well, which is commendably small in the light of five per cent-plus inflation.
At the entry level, the GS continues with the 110kW/197KW petrol foiur-cylinder, with the front wheels connected via a CVT.
Cloth trim, wired Apple CarPlay/Android Auto, rear camera and lane departure are all standard.
Step into the ES, and rain-sensing wipers, automatic headlights, LED fog lights, reverse sensors and automatic air-con are complemented by 18-inch alloy wheels.
The MR brings keyless entry, a six-speaker audio system, black 18-inch rims, black grille and exterior mirrors and privacy glass.
At the LS level, meanwhile, roof rails, leather-wrapped steering wheel and shifter and privacy glass come standard, along with blind-spot alert, lane change assist and rear cross-traffic alert.
The top two tiers sport the larger 2.4-litre NA four-cylinder petrol engine, which makes 123kW and 222Nm, still driving the front end via a CVT.
The GSR adds an alloy brake pedal cover and microsuede/synthetic leather seat trim with red stitching.
Plump for an Exceed and you’ll find leather seats, two-tone 18-inch rims, a four-way powered driver’s seat, front seat heating, auto headlight levelling, a panoramic sunroof, a nine-speaker Rockford Fosgate audio system, and built-in satellite navigation.
All Mitsubishis offer a competitive capped price servicing program, while its purported 10-year/200,000-kilometre warranty can only be activated if all servicing is performed through a Mitsubishi dealer. Otherwise, it’s a five-year/130,000km warranty once a vehicle is serviced independently.
