Japan has launched the challenge to Italy and now FIAT is in trouble. Everything about the model that can endanger the 500X.
2024 has begun a few months ago and manufacturers are gradually launching their new products and restylings of their historic models on the market. This is the case of a well-known Japanese manufacturer who he wanted to retouch one of his most loved cars of recent times, modifying both the aesthetic appearance and the interiors, now more comfortable, without neglecting the safety component, with the introduction of further ADAS.
For now, the price of the car is not known, but we know that it will be made in Spain, precisely in Valladolid, in the Renault factories. From the point of view of motorisation, we have tried to go in the most environmentally friendly direction, even if fuel alternatives have not been completely excluded. Therefore, since it is a B-SUV the challenge to models like the FIAT 500X is launched.
The Japanese SUV aims for leadership, all the details
Mitsubishi’s new ASX has undergone a makeover at the front, while 17 or 18 inch wheels stand out on the sides. The headlights have a C shape with full-LED lights. There are five colors available and range from white, to red, from blue, to gray and finally to black.
Opening the doors you find many similarities with the Captur, possible thanks to the alliance between the two brands. Among the goodies there is the possibility of enjoying the panoramic sunroof. The seats are comfortable, thanks also to the 16 cm sliding rear bench, so you can stretch your legs or insert other luggage. In this regard the rear compartment can hold up to 332 liters with the seats up.
Connectivity was implemented through the integration of the Google platform. With the My Mitsubishi Motors app you can carry out operations remotely, such as searching for the car itself. Infotainment is guaranteed by a 10.4-inch vertical display, flanked by a customizable 10-inch instrument screen.
There are three engines available: 90 hp 1.0 petrol with six-speed manual gearbox; light hybrid with 1.3 liter direct injection turbo unit for a total of 140 or 157 hp, while the top of the range is full-hybrid which mixes a 1.6 liter petrol engine with two electric ones for a total of 145 hp and 900 km of autonomy.
