MIVEC Engine

ASX’s 2.0-liter powerhouse uses a lightweight aluminum block for optimum performance as it puts out 110kW (150PS) to take control of city streets and open highways alike. MIVEC (Mitsubishi Innovative Valve timing Electronic Control) technology provides optimal valve timing at both low and high rev ranges, to give the most of every curve and straightaway out there.

INVECS-III CVT with 6-step Sports Mode

The 2.0-liter engine is teamed with INVECS-III CVT (Continuously Variable Transmission) featuring Sports Mode, ideally tuned to deliver effortless acceleration from any speed. INVECS monitors road and driving conditions, as well as driving style, to create a smart profile that automatically anticipates the driver’s every move. Sports Mode offers all the sporty control of manual shifting without the hassle of a clutch.

Paddle Shifters & Cruise Control

Mounted within easy reach, the magnesium paddle shifters allow you to enjoy sporty control while keeping both hands safely on the wheel. Shifting is quick and easy, with up- and down-shifts requiring just a simple press once ASX is in ‘D’ mode. For added convenience, the current gear position is clearly displayed on the multi-information display.

Paddle shifters can also be equipped with cruise control, for greater performance on the road.

Electronically Controlled 4WD

Using one centrally located dial, the system permits freely switching between 3 drive modes depending on driving condition or environment. Easily accessible on the floor console, the drive-mode selector dial can quickly change the ASX’s drive mode from fuel-efficient 2WD, to 4WD Lock Mode for mastering even demanding off-road or weather conditions.
