2020 Mitsubishi ASX

A great choice for Sunshine Coast commuters, first-SUV buyers, couples and downsizers wanting an affordable, comfortable and easy-to-manage SUV with plenty of useful space and added driver-assistance technology.

The ASX keeps things simple with its reliable 2.0L four-cylinder MIVEC petrol engine producing 110kW and 197Nm. Matched to a smooth CVT automatic and front-wheel drive, its perfectly suited to stop-start traffic around Maroochydore, the daily commute or relaxed cruising along the Sunshine Motorway.

For an SUV offering this much everyday usability, the ASX remains pleasantly economical. Combined consumption as low as 7.6L/100km makes it a practical option for regular trips between Caloundra, Buderim, Nambour and Noosa, while its 63L fuel tank gives you plenty of range between stops.

The ES ADAS steps beyond the regular ES with additional driver-assistance features including Blind Spot Warning, Lane Change Assist, Rear Cross Traffic Alert, Lane Departure Warning, Automatic High Beam and rear parking sensors. Forward Collision Mitigation with pedestrian detection provides another valuable layer of protection during everyday Sunshine Coast driving.

Compact enough to make shopping-centre parking easy yet practical enough for an active lifestyle, the ASX provides approximately 393L of luggage capacity with the rear seats upright and up to 1,193L with them folded. Theres plenty of flexibility for groceries, prams, beach gear, sports equipment or luggage for a weekend away.

Inside youll find an 8-inch touchscreen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, DAB+ digital radio, Bluetooth connectivity and a reversing camera. Automatic climate control, keyless entry and stylish 18-inch alloy wheels give the ES ADAS a well-equipped feel that works just as nicely for daily commuting as it does for weekend adventures.
