Mitsubishi Motors has further enhanced its versatile SUV range with the launch of the extensively-revised 2020 Mitsubishi ASX.

The latest version of the ASX sees its technical specification brought in line with the rest of the Mitsubishi Motors SUV range with the return of both an automatic transmission and four-wheel drive.

The 2020 Mitsubishi ASX also adopts the chunkier design language of the rest of the range, while the new 2.0-litre engine means there is better performance and increased refinement compared to the outgoing version. There are also significant interior changes and the addition of extra safety features.

The revisions are also certain to add to its popularity with UK drivers – the ASX being Mitsubishi Motors in the UK’s third best-selling passenger car with 22.6 per cent of its overall car sales during the past nine years.
