There’s an all-new Mitsubishi ASX on the way and it will be built by Renault.

The current generation Mitsubishi ASX has been around for well over a decade (since 2011) and the compact SUV is in dire need of replacement if it’s to compete meaningfully in this hugely competitive segment.

The ASX has undergone numerous updates throughout its lifecycle including the recent introduction of an entry-level ASX.

However, Mitsubishi’s intention is to bring an all-new ASX as well as another model to market in 2023 in order to have a fresh presence in the European market. The new ASX will be based on the Renault Captur compact crossover, a popular model in Europe, and it will be built in the same production facility in Valladolid, Spain. Even so, the new ASX will adopt its own design philosophy but will likely share some componentry with its French counterpart, including powertrains.

When the ASX is launched in Europe, it’s expected to feature both hybrid and plug-in hybrid powertrains, the same offered in the Captur. However, an internal combustion engine option will likely be offered in markets outside of Europe, including South Africa.

The ASX is currently powered by a naturally aspirated 2.0-litre petrol engine with 110 kW and 197 Nm on offer. It’s not yet clear if Mitsubishi will offer a turbocharged engine but more details are expected to be revealed in 2022.

A replacement for the ageing ASX can’t come soon enough and we look forward to seeing what the new-generation ASX brings to this busy segment. Stay tuned!
