Worth for money but only me feeling lack of power? – I own a 2022 ASX and a 2011 Golf, the ASX has a lot improvement in functions and the whole family love it! Good space for a family and more comfort. But talking about the power, I never expect a 2.0L car could be like this powerless, the engine has massive noise when climbing but it didn't change nothing! The speed is not increasing at all! It… Read more
was only me in the car and it feels like the engine noise is like complaining carrying a family of 4! But it was only me! Why yelling! Golf never yells even with 4 pp on the car.
Overall the ASX is good.

Not built like they use to – For the past 12 years i owned and drove two older toyota corolla’s. And I could not speak highly enough about the quality of them. As my kids were heading into teenage years, and our income was stable we purchased our very first brand new car. To say I was excited is an understatement. We’ve now had our 2019 Mitsubishi ASX 18 months, have done… Read more
just under 30,000 km. Like all my belongings I treat this car like gold, the most expensive thing I have ever purchased, after over a decade of driving older cars, I only ever park in the garage, at shops I park further away to reduce door dints, my kids aren’t allowed to eat or drink in my car, my partner and sister make fun of me but I do not care! I purchased the custom floor mats, boot Cover, paint protecton, interior protector, my car is used to take my kids to school, grab groceries and the occasional family weekend out. I am a full time student by correspondence.
Yet, despite my care, despite my love for my car it is so very quickly showing signs of wear in a way my Corolla never did!
Firstly, the paint - soooo many rock chips in the front of the car - of which I have found and heard sooo many people complain about.
Secondly - the “scratches” under all the handles - at first I thought it was my wedding ring so I removed it - but I quickly noticed the back doors also have it - despite them only being used half the time of drivers door - and by kids who do not by any means have long nails. I can’t understand but after observing other Mitsubishi asx in car parks they all have the same
Thirdly - where the seat belt buckle hits the side of car when being retracted in - is taking chunks out of the interior plastic
Fourthly - I added the front and rear dashboard cameras - and in installing them they absolutely shredded the carpet - which is now fraying
Fifth - the back seat buckle is faulty and pops out mid drive
Sixth - the touch screen media player constantly freezes
Overall the quality is just so so cheap. Not what you would expect for a $ 30K+ car
My kids and I play a game while driving on the highway or walking through car parks - spot the dinted ASX - and if your paying attention you’ll see the Mazda’s cx3/5’a rarely have the dints and paint damage the asx do.

Looks nice, drives ok but unreliable and cheaply made – Air conditioner has been broken from factory intermittently blowing very cold, then warm and so on. Waited three weeks for a part which didn't fix the issue and now I was asked to wait another 6 weeks on a new compressor from Japan. All this while we have 34 degree days in QLD. Now I also noticed the stitching on the seems of the seat cushion… Read more
fabric coming apart. I am a light guy at just 80kg, the car has only been driven 6000km and I hardly ever drive anyone else but myself around. After taking photos at the dealers and sending them to Mitsubishi, I am still waiting on a response 10 days later.
UPDATE: After 15 days and several follow up calls to the dealer Mitsubishi responded to the seat warranty claim as follows: "Mitsubishi have advised the stitching is still intact and uncompromised at this time and that replacing the seats at this point won't change anything. They have noted the concern on your file and advised that your warranty is valid until 2025."
What a joke.
So far, a its a beauty – Bought it brand new in Oct. 2020. So far, (touch wood) it has been a little beauty. Up until Xmas it had just been used local in Sydney and has been great. In the space of 3 weeks over Xmas we have drove just on 3,500 klm on two road trips. First was the Hay Plain to Balranald etc and back to Sydney and then out to Lightening Ridge and surrounds… Read more
and back. Fuel use pleasantly surprised me. It averaged out at around $8 per 100 klm at around $1.15 a litre average. On long trips my back normally gets a little stiff and sore but the ASX seats and suspension are so comfortable I was able to drive the full distance home in 9 hours with no issues. The car drove a treat and handled the dirt roads and long run home without a hiccup. There is plenty of leg room in the front of the car and roomy enough in the rear that the passengers don't complain. Pre-purchase, the boot area looked big enough but once some bits and pieces go in, it soon fills up pretty quick. Another foot would have been nice. If anything changes I will be sure to let people know. The 10 year Mitsubishi Warranty sounds good along with the fixed price for services. I hope there will be no surprises when it has its 15,000klm service. (extra costs).
Great Decision – Have had really bad luck buying cars lately, having bought an MG ZS 12 months ago that ended up being biggest mistake (but that’s another story) with the money from the buy back I decided to purchase a Mitsubishi ASX LS, must say wish I had done this March last year and saved myself the heartache. The car is a great for running my errands, going… Read more
to classes and it handles very well, so far fuel economy is good, the car is comfortable, love the fact that my son who is an Android user, he can borrow my car and plug in he’s phone and use it and more daughter who is an iPhone user can use it as well.
I live that I have a 3 year capped service fee. So far this car has been the best decision I have made in a motor vehicle purchase

2020 ASX GSR 42k kms – Had my ASX GSR bang on 3 years. THE BAD: I will say never get the Sterling silver bc the paint chips like crazy I am very pedantic i get told all the time but if you touch the door onto anything it chips. Scratches up a storm too and under handles all the scratches very cheap paint. You cannot buff out. Quote for 1 door was $500. Carpet is… Read more
wearing badly drivers side no other car has done this I've had 7. Even mats are wearing like crazy. Then after 2 yrs a noise started in the rear very obvious squeaking and creaking. This is my pet hate of hates!!!! Mitsi had my car for 1 month they took the back apart had to call engineer from SA as never seen this before. Could not find issue but lubed up everything it was all very dry and fixed the issue but it came back after 6 month's. Its not as bad. I cannot be stuffed going back bc I don't want to be without my car for another month. I can live with it. My dad has 2018 ES and zero noises or issues its the cone of silence in there over speed humps etc. Go figure cars do not like me. My previous 2015 tucson highlander had 13 warranty claims and had a broken media screen the 1st day I got it. Unreal. THE GOOD: despite the above I love my car everything else works great including media screen and good reverse camera good zip off the line a huge fuel tank 65L this is rare most bigger cars have 60L. Great wipers front and back great jets to clean. Love love the half suede half pleather seats. Leather gear stick hand brake and steering. 18 inch black wheels big spoiler huge mirrors. 7 airbags, BSM icon I mirror very clear. AEB can be a bit false negative with beeping when nothing there. My cap price servicing finished now will be paying thru nose as of 2024 so I'm shopping around. Definitely would buy another Mitsi maybe Eclipse cross or outlander. They are pretty reliable and things last like brakes tyres. Brakes at 50% at 42k kms. Looked at Koleos but died when I read the reviews so many 1 star and shocking issues has turned me right off plus depreciation is insane. Looking at new X trail too but to get native sat nav must buy Ti at 55k!!!! My ASX only depreciated 18% they are selling at new prices its crazy.
The ASX is ideal for my lifestyle - not too big & not too small - simply perfect! – In October 2022 I took delivery of my new Mitsubishi ASX Exceed. I drive this car on average 4 times a week for shopping & social outings with friends. It is an ideal size for city driving plus I really appreciate the elevated driving position that gives me an excellent view of surrounding traffic. It is easy to manoeuvre around shopping center… Read more
car-parks - certainly an advantage! The 2.4 litre engine is proving to be fairly economic with petrol consumption as low as 6.7 litres per 100 kms on the local motorways. Around town in heavy traffic this can rise to around 7.4 litres per 100 kms. I have found the engine very responsive - the CVT automatic moves smoothly through the gears with that extra power there if needed. Inside the cabin the leather seats are very comfortable and all the controls within easy reach. There is ample space for 4 adults & at the back the tailgate lifts up to reveal plenty of room for luggage or parcels. It has a Space Saver Spare Wheel but a full sized Spare Wheel to match those already on the car is available at extra cost. After the first 1000 km service the ASX requires only one service each year, to maintain its 10 year Warranty if I have the services done by Mitsubishi. An added incentive was Northshore Mitsubishi will service my car at my home, some 50 kms away from the Dealership. This was unexpected and certainly appreciated. This ASX comes with many safety systems, standard for this model. Perhaps not as technologically advanced as some other SUV's in this class I have found the ASX is a reliable, comfortable car to drive with ample creature comforts. It will be interesting to see what Mitsubishi will replace this model with in the next year or so. It will not be same as it is being built in combination with Renault possibly in Europe, and no longer in Japan.
Very good car – Very smooth acceleration, looks stylish, from outside To inside , very smooth feel while riding/driving. I owned new Nishan Qashqai Ti 2017 model. Compared to that this is better ,even this one has less function compared to high end Nissan which I owned , for this Price this is Excellent car, and with 10 year warranty and 5 year Roadside… Read more
assitance which provides peace of mind . This is just fantastic car, I just loved this car , it is my family car now with two baby seat, with plenty of space for one adult in rear . some time I feel like it should have this and that, but that will increase the overall cost of car. It still has front sensor, auto ignition switch, nice looking dash, rear camera, apple car play and android auto, dab radio, big Smooth touchscreen screen. Best fuel I have got from this car is 5.8 just one time, 6.2 per 100 ,I have got couple of time which is more than what company has claimed, I was never the fan of old model ASX, now For this price and look , and comfort to ride, I easily recommend it to anyone.
Positive reviews
Great car – Just completed a trip with odometer at 123.000 kilometres. Car has performed perfectly. Was serviced and new tyres before we left Zilzie Qld. This car has exceeded all expectations since owning it from new. Great product.
Grear – 2021 asx, beautiful to drive and an absolute pleasure to own, fits everything in and takes me everywhere I need to go. Comfortable and affordable to run. You really do get 7.5L/100km on the hwy so it's great for travelling. Show details
Good value service for the time of ownership – Bought for wife as demo christmas 2013. Aspire turbo diesel auto (the proper 6 speed auto, not CVT). Now has 240K and still going strong. Has done a couple of rear wheel hubs, but they are cheap enough for quality aftermarket, and easy to replace (for me at least). Balance shaft drive can rattle, changed with a improved version out of UK. Recently… Read more
had a EGR cooling solenoid giving intermittent problems and changed. Interior plastics are a bit cheap looking, but hardy.
Negative reviews
Let's do better next time – I wish car manufacturers took into consideration the needs a little more and not just the bells and whistles. Practical things matter to most of us. There should have been interior lights in the rear passenger area and storage area on the doors for those little people passengers as well. Whoever unloads the car in the rear area with no lighting… Read more
surely finds it difficult, particularly with beautiful black leather upholstery you can not see anything. The rear boot light is also located under the rear parcel tray which makes it very awkward to see in the boot when it's dark. Maybe next time ask a varied range of car buyers first to get valued input. Ask the people who drive the cars. Please Mitsubishi do better next time around.
Worst SUV – - the Android system is really bad, first it doesn't show the speed at which the car is going on the map , the volume is very slow , a quarter way up, there still no sound or very low sound, the mic on panel is just very close to the volume so it's very high chances that you will turn on the mic for speaking - Its very high fuel consumption not… Read more
as initially thought -the door doesn't close softly have to close it hard so get it fully closed, this is very irritating - the lane assist feature is pathetic as its of no use and it's doesn't causes a big alarm, it only slowly beeps , it doesn't cause a that much of a alarm, it just this feature us falsely advertised, bad design inside the car interns of lighting -only one set of light in on the celing in front , at the back there's no light for the passenger section to turn on

An average car that does the job – I have had 2 x ASX company cars in the past year and travelled 40000km. The Positives: *Good fuel economy *Handling in and around roundabouts and bends is respectful with little body roll *Nice and nippy around city and multistory carparks are never an issue to drive around The Negatives: *The engine sounds like it will jump out of the bonnet… Read more
when pulling on to a major highway trying to get to 100kph. Under powered. The CVT transmission just doesn't handle this situation at all. *Any day over 36 (pretty every day in Perth in Summer) the forward facing crash camera will warn you it's not working. Mitsubishi have informed me they are aware of issue but never resolved ( my Rav4) never had this issue *Seats are uncomfortable

Done 135,000 kilometres. No oil leaks or oil use. One rattle in dash. Phone buttons on the steering wheel have stopped working. Audio system is still working well. All other functions are working well. Still my keeper car. Show details · 1
Follow-up · The dash rattle is still there. Become less annoying over time. CVT is working perfectly. Favourite feature is accessibility, I can enter and exit without any problems given my age.
It is the best SUV I l’ve bought with a relatively qfforable price. I got my Mitsubishi ASX GS 2024 for around $29000, and for that money, it’s hard to find anything better. It is reliable—I’ve had no issues so far, and Mitsubishi’s known for making cars that last, plus you get that 10-year warranty if you stick with their service. Its design is… Read more
professionally classic, with clean lines and LED headlights that still look sharp years after the 2019 update.The main reason I decided to buy this car I found its been traded for many years in Australia particularly for families for a long time with mostly posititive comments. It’s true—it’s been around since 2010, though it’s not super fancy. Safety’s basic—low-speed AEB and a camera—but it does the job for me. Honestly, it’s a solid, no-drama SUV that’s perfect if you want something cheap and trusty
Fantastic for city & highway driving, never had a mechanical issues with it at all. Fits 3 maxi pro plus car seats across the backseat or 3 adults comfortably. The only downside for me is it doesn’t have a cd player. I will say I never had this car serviced by Mitsubishi after a bad experiences when they serviced my previous axs, my son is a… Read more
licensed mechanic & he doesn’t use cheap parts & he is absolutely thorough when doing a service. This was the top of the line in the asx when purchased & I have no complaints whatsoever. Great on fuel & a great car to drive.
Asx door locks problems – Car has been back 4 separate times for door actuators replacement and charged $391 for the last repair Show details
mitsubishi australia is now unfit for australian conditions – Have had a number of issues over the years but pre-covid these were solved amicably eventually. Post covid Mitsubishi au changed. It no longer follows australian consumer laws and paintwork is only guaranteed for the life of the warranty. Since my warranty was 5 years thats a crock. Have to take Mitsubishi to Court, so if you have a 10 year… Read more
warranty or are stupidly thinking of buying a car with well dodgy paintwork be prepared for your paint peeling off whilst kept under a carport or in a garage.
The WHITE paint Mitsubishi use exhibits the same lack of bonding between the top coat and the undercoat as exhibited in Toyota Corolla's and many others , as Mitsubishi is well aware however unlike Toyota Mitsubishi have to date refused to accept the issue as real hence the need for legal action against them under the ACL.
Update - ACCC told me to get lost because they don't help people, they only help the Government.… Read more (+1 reply)
Love my ASX – I have owned my ASX for 12.5 years. I have had zero issues. In that time, I’ve had the front and rear suspension done. That is it! I drive it everyday, 120kms to work and back. I do above average kms each year, around 40,000. It is the most reliable car. Has never broken down. I still love driving it. It has done 265,000 kms. My mechanic says… Read more
it’s still a great little car. I still get 7.9- 8.1 litres per 100kms too. My son also has one ( 2018 ) and has had no problems either. I service my car regularly and always have. I’m 5’10 and it’s roomy and my son is 6’5. I was surprised he had no problem in the drivers seat. I am however waiting for my 2023 GSR to be delivered. I looked at other cars, but, came back to the ASX. I like the simplicity and reliability. You won’t regret buying one.
Great size, but heavy on fuel – I have wanted an ASX for such a long time- love the size, and the look, and in particular the 10yr warranty. Due to covid-supply issues, I was lucky enough to buy a brand new 2022 XLS-Plus model, which is the Exceed without blind spot indicators (they were the part missing, so created a new model so Mitsubishi could continue to meet up with the… Read more
demand). It’s comfortable. Previously owning a 2016 Outlander which was excellent on fuel avg 5.5L/100km, I was disappointed how heavy the ASX is by comparison (combined driving average about 8.5L). I love the 10 year warranty and capped price servicing though. Great as a run around, and easy for city driving!
Ignition, click sound – When I turn the key into the "ON" position I hear a click, click, click sound, anywhere 1-5 times, it varies. People tell it is normal, I am doubting it. Even have problems starting few occasions. Since I have had the first service after 4 weeks driving as per warranty, the car has felt different. 6 months ownership. Show details

nice car – my 2011 model auto cost me nothing in repairs ,a bit slow and noisy but at 125 k i still have original tyres and brake pads ,a bit boring but reliable and cant complain.i would buy another but i am nearing 70. Show details
When I accelerate it is rough and slow. Not sure if it is the CVT transmission. 2022 model. Was given to me as a gift – Disappointed, unsure what to do. Really upset about this, received as a gift. Show details
Bang for buck! – Been driving the Mitsubishi ASX 2019 ES for over 3 years now. No issues whatsoever. Comfort, handling and features are great for the price point. Very satisfied overall. Show details
Money Pit! – My ASX is an XB 2015 MY 15.5, XLS diesel. 4WD I wish I had done more research on this model before I bought it. This model has the notorious 4N14 diesel engine in it. It has been nothing but trouble 3 years after purchase. I have spent around $8000 fixing problem after problem. I've gone through two EGR valves, a new timing chain kit, which… Read more
Mitsubishi says lasts the life of the engine, which apparently is 190k. Now I've just been informed I'm up for a turbo rebuild because you can't get the turbo in Australia.
Mitsubishi should be embarrassed – As a family car it doesn’t work. No lights in the back (where the kids go) so getting out of it at night it a nightmare. Low roof means that i have to be excluded from family drives as i am 5’11. Key fob only works next to the sensor, so they may as well have made it an old fashioned key. Cruise control speeds. Door locks will lock the… Read more
passenger in if the car is off, making it a major safety issue. The soundproofing is non existent. The in car display only works if the mitsubishi sd card is installed. Otherwise a perpetual error displays. Again a family car, and found this out when my kids took the sd card out not knowing what it was. The space is horrendous, the plastic everywhere feels cheaper than what you’d expect. Seat warmer works as described. Door locks are a major issue. Low petrol alerts are uninformed and useless.
love that car – Family transport, to an from school and also to work Every single day every 12 months and never any major issues with it. Will buy this car again in a heart beat. Show details
Awesome bang for buck – Nice looking inside and out. No issues to date. Easy to handle. Decent on petrol. Can fit child seats in back. Compact but still a suv. Highly recommend for up to 4 people. Show details
Great car – This is our 3rd car of this make and we love it. Seats are extremely comfortable. We use it everyday and on long trips away. It's very reliable and quiet on open roads. It has enough cup holders and the heating and cooling is very efficient. We service every 9 months with no issues. Will buy again. Show details
Great little SUV – We have a Mitsubishi ASX LS 2020 which was purchased in May this year. It's a great car for the price and has more tech and features than you'd think. It's compact, relatively comfortable (the seats could be more supportive) but has all that you need in a modern SUV ie Apple Carplay, Auto headlights and high beams, auto windscreen wipers,… Read more
reversing camera and rear sensors.
It has a surprisingly large fuel tank, which is great as you don't need to fill up to often. Very happy with the car, reliable and cheap to maintain.
100% reliable car you'll never regret buying this – It has some issues with built quality and engine is bit underpowered but on the other hand its worth it u don't have to waste fortune $$$ on repairs it will last longer , i had this car for couple of years but now i regret cz just sold it. Show details
An embarrassing vehicle from mitsubishi – No room, (I’m not too tall at only 175cm)... no interior lights in the back. Sd card with non-downloadable mitsubishi software is required to run the touchscreen. This can be easily removed, which is not a good thing. Door locks are unsafe, and allows driver to lock the passengers in with no quick release even for the front passenger. Cruise… Read more
control likes to speed. Seat warmers work well, but that’s the only nice feature. In short, don’t buy one of these and certainly dont buy one from Essendon Hyundai, they are shifty and dishonest car sales people.
Failed my expectations sadly ...Sold the car may 2021 – Very let down i have to admit was a great incentive the 5 year warranty BUT mine is just 4.9 year old and the transmission has failed completely ,i got every service on time and only driven 86,000 klms ,no part in australia its on back order ,still waiting after 3 going on 4 weeks to get a loan car im spending a fortune to try get to work… Read more
-finally got a loan car 2019 Prev outlander Electric ( So far the car is fantastic drives great and saves you on petrol ) ,you would think mitsubishi would have sorted a more smooth trouble free experience SINCE i did buy my asx for $25000 , wouldnt recommend thats for sure UNLESS affter some advice - to get your fluid changed earlier than what they recommend ! Biggest disappointment was the service i received ive contacted Mitsubishi head office Sydney day after day and you get no straight answer was frustrating to deal with ....Otherwise the asx drives ok seems to be good on petrol ,good little suv to do quick trips ... UPDATE : Thought i would update ive had my car back for around 6 weeks and would you believe the transmission was slipping again , as you slow to the roundabout and then excellerate off there is no power so you need to put your foot down harder and then it just speeds off and revs really high , so i contacted the mitsubishi and they had to tow it to them wednesday so once they look at the problem will update further its obviously the transmission again , im so dissappointed in this car its now just 3 weeks out of the 5 year warranty . Got the car back in April a few days later after getting it back the 3rd time the battery kept ticking so i replaced the battery and decided enoughs enough and sold my car through car sales and then went and purchased the New Mg ZS Essense 2021 in may so happy with it :)
Mitsubishi vehicles are rubbish – I have tried out 2 outlanders and an asx and they are junk , the materials used for the interior are the most hideous I’ve come across, the plastics and fabric compared to Toyota are inferior , I will never buy another Mitsubishi Show details
