Production planning for the new Mitsubishi ASX, which will be one of the pioneers in the restructuring process of its brand, has also been completed.
In order to end the decline of Mitsubishi in Europe in recent years, it is almost as if “Stop!” Renault is restructuring the Japanese manufacturer’s operations in the region extensively. In this context, the steps of the duo, who we know will make their first move with the return of Colt, are at an important point in the new period for Turkey as well. For the brand, which we have been waiting for a second move after Colt for a long time, official answers have started to come to the expectations at this point. With the move to be shaped around Mitsubishi ASX, which has been in the product range since 2010, the model will be in the process of rebirth along with the brand. We will testify.

What appears on the table for the new Mitsubishi ASX
ASX, which was put into make-up operations four times in its 12-year adventure, was built on Mitsubishi’s infrastructure in this process. With the new generation, we will see the compact SUV model on the streets, built on the common infrastructure of the group, CMF-B, in the process dominated by Renault. With the clarification of the compact modular platform used in models such as Captur, Arkana and Nissan Juke, especially the Clio produced in Turkey, we can put the options in a certain framework on the engine side. It is possible to say that hybrid support will be offered alongside gasoline engines for the ASX, which we expect to be introduced this year.

We know that hybrid systems that differentiate between Clio and Captur are cable-rechargeable on the Captur front. In Clio, on the other hand, this system brings with it the classic structure based on energy recovery. In Captur, 1.6 liter new generation gasoline engine and one of the two electric motors is based on a starter generator, while the other is positioned to support performance driving. Captur, which is quite ambitious by covering a range of 65 kilometers in the city in pure electric mode, will also reach the maximum speed of 135 km / h in this mode. With this system, 160 horsepower is also offered to users. Again, we expect the 1.3-liter petrol engine offered in the Captur family to be positioned in the new ASX. This engine can also be offered in ASX with two different power options of 140 and 155 hp. More specific details will appear in the coming days for the new ASX, which is announced to be produced in the group’s factory in Spain.
