Safety

The Mitsubishi ASX Exceed has a comprehensive set of standard safety features, including forward collision mitigation, automatic high beam, and hill start assist.

It's crucial to be aware that the current ASX lacks a safety rating from the crash-test authority ANCAP.

Before this, the ASX had previously held a five-star safety rating.

Should I put it on my shortlist?

In a highly competitive segment, the ASX remains a strong contender by offering exceptional value, particularly with its feature-packed top-tier Exceed.

Despite being categorised as a compact SUV, it provides significant space and size, making it one of the more spacious options within its segment.

While the vehicle has been around for over 13 years, the possibility of an entirely new model on the horizon remains uncertain. Although signs of ageing are apparent in the interior, the exterior design continues to captivate many potential buyers.

At at its price, it's easy to see why the ASX remains a popular choice for buyers.
