SPORTIER ASX

Mitsubishi Motors Malaysia launched the Mitsubishi ASX Special Edition today in conjunction of the ASX first year anniversary since its debut in Malaysia. The ASX Special Edition is based on the fully imported ASX compact cross-over model and is limited to just 50 units.

Made especially for those with an outgoing and active lifestyle, the Mitsubishi ASX Special Edition adds on a sportier accessory package enhancement that includes window visor, front under cover, rear garnish and an exclusive body sticker. It is available in two colours - White Pearl and Mica Black.

The Special Edition ASX boasts a long list of additional features. The centre console houses a built-in GPS System with Bluetooth functionality. In addition, it also comes with an iPhone and iPod USB connectivity. The interior is also further enhanced with race-inspired redesigned leather seats with red stitching.

The ASX was developed to combine the utility and practicality of an SUV with the comfort of a sedan in just the right size, with high ride point, easy manoeuvring, good handling and comfort for active driving fun. It is powered by a 2.0-liter MIVEC engine which uses a lightweight aluminium block and adjusts intake timing for optimum performance as it puts out 150PS. 

For safety purposes, the ASX comes with standard Active Stability Control (ASC) and Hill Start Assist (HSA) - to make it easy to start off on a steep uphill slope by preventing the vehicle from sliding backward. The ASX also comes with Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS), Electronic Brake Force Distribution (EBD), pretensioners and force limiters seatbelts as well as dual-stage SRS airbags plus a driver's knee airbag.
