The Japanese maker has struck the diesel variant from the line-up and also enhanced standard equipment inside with a new infotainment system. New exterior colours are also on offer.
This is the third revamp for the ASX which has been around for 10 years. Mitsubishi hopes the makeover will keep the ASX competitive in a hotly-contested sector.
The refreshed ASX gets the full "dynamic shield" styling treatment with a front end that looks completely different. The front bumper, grille and deeper bonnet are all new.
The design language of the ASX is shared with the latest Eclipse Cross, Outlander and Shogun Sport.
The new engine replaces the previous 1.6-litre issue to provide significantly more power. Output has been raised by 35 to 150 horsepower. This is enough to propel the ASX from a standing start to 100 km/h in 10.2 seconds. The car can top 190 km/h.
Mitsubishi has not released consumption and emission figures for he ASX, which will also be sold with four-wheel-drive and optional automatic gearbox.
