Mitsubishi’s evergreen ASX has been rejigged and refreshed for 2019 in an attempt to retain its crown as the top-seller in the small SUV segment. The 2019 ASX range will consist of three variants, including the new entry-level ES, LS and Exceed.

Moving up the range, the LS features smart key with one-touch start, FCM and LDW along with auto high beam and privacy glass. Exterior stying is enhanced with two-tone 18-inch alloy wheels whilst the interior boasts microsuede seats and leather-look bolsters.
ASX Exceed is fitted with BSW, LCA and RCTA in addition to key features including panoramic glass roof with LED mood lighting, leather seat facings and heated front seats.
