Mitsubishi ASX - a small crossover of Japanese production, which is the smallest crossover in model row Mitsubishi. Is a five-door SUV increased passibility. The model is based on a platform passenger cars Mitsubishi Outlander. XL and Lancer of the tenth generation. Despite the passenger "trolley" and the lack of a framework, Mitsubishi ASX has good permeability due to increased clearance and full drive.

The history of the model began in 2007, when the Japanese presented the concept car Concept-CX, which served as the basis for creating serial Crossover. He was presented in 2010. The car turned out to be the most similar to the prototype. Thus, from identical design elements, you can mark the branded grille and unusual body forms in strict style. Such a design was first used in the Mitsubishi F2 jet fighter.

Mitsubishi ASX SUV.

The Mitsubishi ASX length is 4295 mm, which corresponds to the compact category. Similar models can be attributed Nissan Qashqai., Volkswagen Tiguan., Ford Kuga., Kia Sportage., Hyundai Tucson And other small crossovers.

In the Russian market, the car is sold only with gasoline engines. AT basic configuration A 1,6-liter 117-strong motor is offered. The following versions - with 1.8 and 2.0 liter engines, 140 and 150 horse power respectively. Russian modification was supplied from the United States, but later american Factory closed. Besides petrol engines there is also diesel versions With a capacity of 114 and 150 horsepower, which are available to the European market.

In 2011, the car participated in the EURO NCAP crash test, based on the results of which received the maximum five stars out of five. Protection of adult passengers is estimated by 86%, and children are 78%. For the safety of pedestrians, the crossover received 60%.

The ASX Body is considered one of the most attractive vehicles among the entire line of vehicles of the identical class. It is for this reason that the model is very popular on the profile market. On the other hand, before making a purchase, it will not be superfluous to find out what features the body is characterized. Mitsubishi ASCHow qualitatively it is protected from corrosion and so on.

For many potential customers, the body size is one of the most important components when choosing vehicle. The larger the car is, the more difficult it is to manage in the city rhythm. On the other hand, safety is significantly improved. By paying attention to Mitsubishi ACS, the body sizes should be measured immediately by 3rd criteria:

• length;
• width;
• height.

When measuring the length, the most "discovering" point in the front part is taken, which leads to the longest part in the rear bumper. As for the width, the measurement is carried out in the widest point. As the basis or the central racks are taken, or cross arch In the front or back of the vehicle. But the height causes certain difficulties. Its dimension occurs on a flat surface, from the ground and up to the highest point on the roof of the machine. There is a logical question - and what is complex here? The answer is nothing, just do not forget that when measuring, the rails located on the sides of the roof of the car are not taken into account. Therefore, a couple of centimeters should be "throwing" in advance.

In the car Mitsubishi ASX dimensions are as follows:

• width - from 1770 to 1810 millimeters;
• the length of Mitsubishi ASC - from 4295 to 4365 millimeters;
• height - from 1615 to 1640 millimeters.

Small crossover Mitsubishi. ASX was presented in the European market in 2010 on Geneva exhibition. Since then, the model has undergone minor external changes. However, the general profile, similar to the Lancer X (on its base, was developed) preserved. At the same time, the elder brother Outlander completely transformed.

For sales B. russian segment The car is going to plants in Japan. It is this feature that provides great quality and security. If we talk about technical specifications, then for Russia, the model is supplied in three variations of the gasoline engine: 1.6; 1.8; 2 liters. On the European market you can find diesel engine.

The driver must please big The 20-centimeter clearance between the housing and expensive. The claimed clearance of Mitsubishi ACS is 195 mm. Produced both all-wheel drive and front-wheel drive modifications. It is worth noting that the four-wheel drive is available only in maximum configuration Engine.

Externally, the car is very similar to another model of the company - Lancer X, especially if you look at the front. Machine developers took a lot of ideas and characteristic features from sedan. The first thing that immediately becomes noticeable is a large grille in the form of a trapezoid.

Attention! Recently, a restyled version was released, into which daylight LED lights added.

All parameters Mitsubishi.

Dimensions Mitsubishi ASX:

• Body length - 4 m 29.5 cm;
• Width - 1 m 77 cm;
• Auto height - 1 m 61.5 cm (taking into account the rails of 1 m 62.5 cm);
• Body weight - 1 tons 870 kg;
• The distance between the two axes is 2 m 67 cm;
• The size of the trunk of Mitsubishi ASC - 384 liters (+ spare parts in full size);
• The tank accommodates 63 liters in the front-wheel drive version and 60 liters in all-wheel drive;
• Tires on Mitsubishi ASX size - 215/65 R16, 215/60 R17 or 225/55 R18
• Mitsubishi AFC drive size - .5jx16, 6.5jx17 or 7.0jx18;
• Mitsubishi ASX Road clearance - 195 mm.

Mitsubishi ASC built on the base independent suspension McFerson in frontand a multi-dimensional system with transverse mechanisms stabilizers. The car uses disc ventilated brakes on both wheels. Also in some equipment mechanisms are available. emergency braking And other additions.

Check the stated characteristics

Such information will be useful to people who choose Mitsubishi Ash. Some clien's question is very important, a small clearance will not always be able to provide a proper level of operation. The documentation for ACS declared a figure in 195 mm. However, there is no deployed and accurate information anywhere.

All measurements will be held with ordinary roulette. First it is necessary to specify the characteristics of the subject model. Installed engine 1.6 l with MCP, front wheel drive. By car montirova winter tires Falcen. Disks from a 16-inch plant. In the trunk is a spare place and standard set Tools. There were no changes or refinement. In essence, this is Mitsubishi ACS in the basic configuration. Tire pressure is measured - 2.2 atmosphere. Dimensions are made on a flat concrete road.

Measures were carried out in an unusual way. The master used a roulette, measuring lying on her side. This can lead to small errors. The measurement in the front showed the clearance of 200 mm.

Next, we will move to the back of Mitsubishi ASX, there is an exhaust pipe there. She sticks out not as much as it may seem at first glance. We perform a measurement distance under the pipe and get the manufacturer promised 195 mm. The exhaust diameter was measured on bends in the field of fixation of the "ear". Its diameter is 53 mm, and then the pipe is gradually increased to 60 mm. The exhaust departure size relative to the rest of the body is approximately 15 millimeters.

One of the most sick places in most cars are thresholds and corrugations. They are often cling to high "lying policemen." To exclude problems, measurements were performed under the leadership of the driver's seat. There was plenty of space for various maneuvers. The Mitsubishi ASX road clearance is fully consistent with the stated characteristics. As a result, it turns out that the clearance throughout the body is even more than specified. The exception is only a small protrusion from the pipe. However, it does not fall below the declared 195 mm.

Compact crossover Mitsubishi ASX For the European market was shown back in 2010 in Geneva. Since then, ASX survived a couple of minor restyings. But in general, the recognizable profile of Lancer X, on the platform of which car was made, remained without significant changes. While the older brother "Outlander" completely changed the appearance.

For the Russian market, the crossover Mitsubishi ASX is going to Japan. Exactly japanese assembly Provides excellent quality and reliability of the car. Concerning technical features, In our country, the car is represented with three gasoline engines with a working volume of 1.6, 1.8 and 2 liters. There is still a diesel version, but you can only buy it in the EU.

Concerning off-road qualities Mitsubishi ASX, then buyers should please the ground clearance, which is almost 20 centimeters, and more precisely, then clearance ASX 195 mm. There are both front-wheel drive and all-wheel drive versions of the car. However, the four-wheel drive of the crossover receives only in combination with the top 2-liter motor.

Exterior Mitsubishi ASX Pretty similar S. sedan Lancer. X, especially in front. Designers borrowed quite a lot of characteristic traits of the sedan. The main thing that is immediately striking is a large radiator grille in the form of a trapezium. By the way, as a result of the last restyling to the front fogging (built-in bumper), LED daytime was added running lights. We look at the photos of the ASX crossover Next.

Mitsubishi ASX salon Made very well. Pleasant, and somewhere where and soft to the touch plastic. Comfortable seats, multifunctional steering wheel. Monitor in the central console. In more expensive equipment, a fairly large hatch in the roof. The transformation of the rear seats makes it easy to increase the loading space for the transport of various things.

Technical characteristics of Mitsubishi ASX

Specifications ASX crossover Directly depend on the type of power unit. So a car with a gasoline engine 1.6 liters is offered only with front-wheel drive and 5-speed mechanical box Transmissions. With 1.8 liter ASX motor sold already with stepless cVT variatorBut still drive only front. And only with the most powerful gasoline engine 2 liters, buyers offer all-wheel drive transmissions, but all with the same CVT variator.

So, mitsubishi Basic Engine ASX 1.6 liters, it is gasoline inline, 4-cylinder, 16 valve unit with electronic system Phase control of gas distribution. Motor power 117 hp At 154 nm of torque. Overclocking until the first hundred with this motor is 11.4 seconds, and maximum speed 183 km / h. Middle fuel consumption 6.1 liters. Immediately I would like to mention, all Mitsubishi ASX engines have a chain in the Timing drive. Injection type distributed.

The next power engine 1.8 liters outputs 140 horses with a maximum torque of 177 nm. Acceleration in combination with stepless transmission up to 100 km / h 12.7 seconds, and the maximum speed is 189 km. What is interesting, more powerful engine The ASX crossover did not add the crossover dynamicity, the fuel consumption increased. So in the mixed mode, it is 7.4 liters. By the way, motors 1.6 and 1.8 consume exclusively gasoline of the AI-95 brand, but the 2-liter "eats" AI-92.

Top 2-liter gas engineWith which only all-wheel drive transmission of the Compact crossover Mitsubishi gives 150 horsepower and 197 nm of torque. Acceleration until the first hundred is 11.7 seconds, and the maximum speed is 191 km / h. Naturally, this motor is both the most voracious, so consumption in mixed mode is 7.7 liters. What is interesting, the manufacturer indicates consumption in urban conditions at 9.4 liters, the same indicator of ASX with an engine 1.8 liters.

Four-wheel drive Mitsubishi ASX Works as follows. In mode 2wd. Leaders are exclusively front wheels. In mode 4WD AUTO,this is still a front-wheel drive car, but if necessary is connected rear wheels without the participation of the driver. That is, when the front wheels slip, the differential lock is automatic and the torque is transmitted to the rear wheels.

Mode forced lock 4WD Lock. Blocks the differential constantly and the car turns into an SUV and is ready to conquer a different relief in mode 4x4. It should be borne in mind that fuel consumption in this mode is elevated, plus suffering and overclocking speakers.

Mitsubishi ASX video

Video review Mitsubishi ASX, look.

By the way, in the US, Mitsubishi ASX is sold under the name Outlander Sport. In the North American market, this car is the most sold among all Mitsubishi models at the moment. The most interesting thing is that in our country it is not. The most-selling is still the Outlander of the Kaluga assembly.

Fashion for parquet SUVs without frame design is actively developing from 2007-2008, and soon there has been demand for people who do not leave the city's limits. But in urban environments, large cars are not in honor and manufacturers offered compact and sub-compact crossovers specifically for residents of megacities.

It is in order to fill this niche Mitsubishi released aSX crossover. For the first time the concept of the model appeared in 2007 under the name Concept-CX. At that time, the model looked like a serial, but the financial and economic crisis slightly changed the plans, and herself serial model Debuted only in 2010 in Geneva called ASX. The Japanese of course wizards can dust into the eyes and invent loud names and the ASX abidature is decrypted as Active Sport X-Over - a parckarter for an active ride, but still it is worth saying that Mitsubishi ASX technical characteristics really don't give a already small competitors to compare with him.

Geometric car indicators

As a true ASX citizen has a very compact dimension:

• length 4295 mm
• width of 1770 mm
• height 1625 mm
• clearance 195 mm
• wheel base - 2670 mm
• the volume of the luggage compartment is impressive 415 liters
• tank volume - 63 l
• mass in an unloaded state - 1300 kg,
• full weight - 1870 kg.

After a cosmetic update, which took place in 2013, the main dimensions did not change. The luggage compartment has become a little less than - 384 liters (1219 liters with folded reverse seats) and the volume of the fuel tank has decreased to 60 liters. In addition, the front and rear bumperMore chromium has appeared, and the geometry of the radiator lattice has changed.

Changes in technical Plan: shock absorbers were reconfigured, the sleeves-silent blocks were replaced and levers with increased rigidity were introduced. Mechanism manual brakes Now integrated in stopping support One of the rear wheels. Changes in the suspension were produced due to customer feedback. Mitsubishi puts a big bet on our market and in order to update the model to Russia, engineers of the brand communicate with owners and a focus group arrived.

In the car, the shape of the selection of the transmission mode was changed, the navigation system was upgraded - now it supports SD memory cards.

Despite its compactness, ASX is built on a completely adult platform, which has passed a lot of tests and put on Lancer last generation And now not produced by Outlander XL.

Engines and gearboxes

On the Russian market The model, both before the update and after it was supplied with three gasoline units:

• 1.6 liters, with a capacity of 117 hp and torque 154 nm at 4 thousand rpm. This engine can be described as calm, with the mass of the car, it goes not quickly - up to 100 km / h, the speedometer arrows will rise in 11.4 seconds. But the motor is fully economical and consumes about 8 liters in urban mode and 6.1 liters in the mode of the track. Designed this engine was jointly with concern Daimler And installed on Mitsubishi COLT back in 2004. A five-speed mechanical gearbox was established in a pair with this power unit.
• 1.8 liters with a capacity of 140 hp (143 hp for Europe). The torque was 177 nm at 4250 rpm. This unit was developed in conjunction with Hyundai and Crysler and although he was more powerful than the base engine, but could not boast of the same dynamics. Acceleration up to 100 km / h is a long 13.1 seconds, and 100 km of maintenance of 9.8 liters care (6.4 liters per highway). Motor capabilities are cut due to a non-alternative variator transmission. Undoubtedly, such a transmission has its advantages - amazing smoothness, but it has to pay for mediocre dynamics with a fairly powerful motor. Another plus of the variator is its reliability, subject to regular oil replacement.
• 2.0 liters - the most powerful motor For ASX in our market, outstanding 150 hp and 197 nm of torque. The names of this version have a four-wheel drive, combined everything with the same variator. Before "Hundred", the car accelerates 11.9 seconds and consumes 10.5 liters in the city and 8.1l on the track.
• due to the high requirements for diesel fuel One of the most interesting things is supplied to our country. power aggregates: 1.8 liters with a capacity of 150 hp and torque in 300 nm. This is the most sold engine at ASX in Europe, by virtue of its excellent dynamic and performance characteristics.

Complete drive system

Mitsubishi's company is not the first year to produce SUVs and therefore, Mitsubishi AEX, technical characteristics resemble senior models of the brand.

In the case of ASX, there is one of the key features of the full drive - the ability to switch modes. Even larger and expensive crossovers do not provide the owner of the possibility of choosing a drive, the electronics fills everything. But compact ASX is not such, at its discretion, the owner may include the following modes:

• Mode "Auto", which allows you to leave everything to the bumping computer.
• Inclusion mode exclusively front drive For moving on good roads, which allows you to save fuel.
• 4x4 lock mode, allowing to overcome all sorts of obstacles, and in which rear drive Connected forcibly, and does not turn on when the front wheels slip.

Conclusion

It is not surprising that ASX is very popular with domestic buyers, according to the technical characteristics of Mitsubishi AFC clearance, 198 mm, which is simply an outstanding result for a compact crossover. From direct competitors, it is possible to single out that the Skod of Yeti and Opel Mokka, but neither the other will not be able to remove off-road abilities with him and do not have such an impressive road clearance. ASX is well for sale not only in our country, but also in Europe. Seeing this state of affairs, allies in the Alliance from Peugeot and Citroen even made their crossovers based on ASX: Peugeot 4008 and Citroen C4 Aircross.
