A member of the Renault-Nissan group, Mitsubishi leverages synergy to offer the Renault Captur under its badge… at a much more affordable price.
Technology is cool. But it often comes at a high cost. Very high. Proof of this is Mitsubishi ASX, which, in its entry-level trim (already very well equipped, rest assured), is listed in August 2023 at 21,990 euros… compared to 30,000 euros at Renault, due to the presence of micro-hybridization.
You’ll need to drive many kilometers and hope for savings to offset this difference. And the 210 euros of environmental bonus (130g CO2/km) you have to pay won’t change that logic.
Factually, there is another explanation for the 8,000 euro price difference: the engine is relatively modest. It’s a 1.0-liter 3-cylinder turbo developing 91 hp. Not the thrill of speed, but also not a punishment, especially if your driving style is relaxed. Which is the case for 70% of drivers… And sometimes, not burdening yourself with hybridization can actually be more reliable.
In terms of equipment, this Invite trim already includes:
- Lane Keeping Assist (LKA)
- Involuntary Lane Departure Warning (LDW)
- Grey metallic dashboard band
- Reversing camera
- Light sensor (automatic headlight activation)
- Manual air conditioning
- Black textured bumper strips
- 17-inch wheel covers
- LED daytime running lights
- LED headlights and taillights
- Front and rear parking sensors
- DAB+ digital radio
- Traffic Sign Recognition (TSR)
- Cruise control
- Heated and electrically adjustable side mirrors
- Height-adjustable driver’s seat
- Smartphone-Link Display Audio 4.0 (SDA): connected multimedia system with 7″ touchscreen compatible with Android Auto™ and Apple CarPlay™
- Audio system with AM/FM radio, 2 USB ports, and 6 speakers
- Forward collision warning system with pedestrian and cyclist detection (FCM)
It will always be possible to add options to perfect your configuration.
