The question is, can this veteran SUV hold its own against the new generation of rivals?<\/p>\n<h2 data-sourcepos=\"5:1-5:29\">Pros and Cons<\/h2>\n<h4 data-sourcepos=\"7:1-7:6\"><strong>Pros<\/strong><\/h4>\n<ul data-sourcepos=\"8:3-13:0\">\n<li data-sourcepos=\"8:3-8:29\">Excellent value for money<\/li>\n<li data-sourcepos=\"9:3-9:34\">Spacious interior for its size<\/li>\n<li data-sourcepos=\"10:3-10:25\">Fuel-efficient engine<\/li>\n<li data-sourcepos=\"11:3-11:33\">Reliable and proven performer<\/li>\n<li data-sourcepos=\"12:3-13:0\">Long warranty (10 years!)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4 data-sourcepos=\"14:1-14:6\">Cons<\/h4>\n<ul data-sourcepos=\"15:3-19:0\">\n<li data-sourcepos=\"15:3-15:43\">Interior feels dated compared to rivals<\/li>\n<li data-sourcepos=\"16:3-16:47\">Lacks the latest driver assistance features<\/li>\n<li data-sourcepos=\"17:3-17:39\">Not the most powerful engine option<\/li>\n<li data-sourcepos=\"18:3-19:0\">Design might not be for everyone<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2 data-sourcepos=\"20:1-20:26\">How Much Does it Cost?<\/h2>\n<p data-sourcepos=\"22:1-22:248\">The beauty of the ASX is its affordability. Prices start at a very attractive $24,490 (MR FWD) and climb to $35,240 (GSR FWD) for the top-of-the-range model. This makes it a compelling option for budget-conscious buyers looking for a practical SUV.<\/p>\n<h2 data-sourcepos=\"24:1-24:61\">Features and Benefits<\/h2>\n<h4 data-sourcepos=\"24:1-24:61\"><strong>Packing a Punch for Everyday Needs<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p data-sourcepos=\"26:1-26:307\">Let&#8217;s be honest, the <strong>ASX<\/strong> isn&#8217;t going to win any awards for cutting-edge tech or luxurious interiors. But what it offers is a solid package of features that cater to everyday driving needs. All models come with a 2.0-liter petrol engine known for its reliability and decent fuel economy (around 7.6L\/100km).<\/p>\n<p data-sourcepos=\"28:1-28:304\">Inside, you&#8217;ll find a comfortable cabin with enough space for five adults and a surprising amount of cargo room in the back. Standard features include a reversing camera, Bluetooth connectivity, and a decent infotainment system. Higher-end models add niceties like climate control and leather upholstery.<\/p>\n<h2 data-sourcepos=\"30:1-30:48\">Safety<\/h2>\n<h4 data-sourcepos=\"30:1-30:48\">Not the Strongest Suit, But Adequate<\/h4>\n<p data-sourcepos=\"32:1-32:393\">While the <strong>ASX<\/strong> hasn&#8217;t received an updated ANCAP safety rating, it does come with essential features like airbags, anti-lock brakes, and electronic stability control. However, it lacks some of the advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS) that are becoming increasingly common, such as lane departure warning and autonomous emergency braking. This might be a concern for safety-conscious buyers.<\/p>\n<h4 data-sourcepos=\"32:1-32:393\">A Walkthrough<\/h4>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Mitsubishi ASX 2024 review: ES | Is the 13-year-old small SUV actually better than Kia Seltos?\" width=\"750\" height=\"422\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/rZvQZXLU2rE?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h2 data-sourcepos=\"34:1-34:38\">Running Costs<\/h2>\n<p data-sourcepos=\"36:1-36:290\">The <strong>ASX<\/strong> shines in terms of running costs. The fuel-efficient engine and Mitsubishi&#8217;s renowned reliability mean you shouldn&#8217;t expect any nasty surprises at the pump or the mechanic. Plus, the 10-year, 200,000km warranty provides peace of mind and adds to the car&#8217;s overall value proposition.<\/p>\n<h2 data-sourcepos=\"38:1-38:43\">Facing the Competition: Can it Keep Up?<\/h2>\n<p data-sourcepos=\"40:1-40:282\">The biggest challenge for the <strong>ASX<\/strong> is its age. Compared to newer rivals who boast the latest tech, peppier engines, and a fresher look, the <strong>ASX<\/strong> feels a bit behind the times. Rivals like the <a href=\"https:\/\/motorscout.com.au\/model\/mazda-cx-3\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Mazda CX-3<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/motorscout.com.au\/model\/hyundai-kona\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Hyundai Kona<\/a> offer more modern designs and additional safety features. However, the ASX\u2019s affordability and practicality may sway budget-conscious buyers.<\/p>\n<h2 data-sourcepos=\"44:1-44:59\">Conclusion<\/h2>\n<h4>A Practical Choice for Budget-Minded Buyers<\/h4>\n<p data-sourcepos=\"46:1-46:354\">So, should you buy a <strong>2024 Mitsubishi ASX<\/strong>? It depends on your priorities. If you crave the newest bells and whistles, this might not be the car for you. But for those who value affordability, practicality, and a proven performer, the <strong>ASX<\/strong> is a solid option. It might not be the flashiest kid on the block, but it gets the job done reliably and efficiently.<\/p>\n<h2 data-sourcepos=\"48:1-48:25\">Rating: 6.8\/10<\/h2>\n<p data-sourcepos=\"50:1-50:155\">While the <strong>ASX<\/strong> might not be perfect, it offers good value for money and caters well to budget-conscious buyers who prioritize practicality and reliability. If safety features and cutting-edge design are your priorities, you may want to explore other SUVs.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There&#8217;s no denying it \u2013 Australia&#8217;s small SUV segment is brimming with impressive choices.
