Additional evidence of the success of cars in our country has become sales statistics. After some work on comments in the debut modification during the automobile exhibition in New York, Japanese designers demonstrated an updated version of the Mitsubishi ASH. The technical characteristics of the machine together with its exterior and interior have been improved. This will be discussed later.

Exterior and interior

The novelty, in comparison with the previous version, received a new front bumper, as well as a modified radiator grille. In the rear, the location and shape of the cataphytes have changed, which now have a round shape and are below. More significant changes have touched the salon "Mitsubishi ASH", a photo of which is located below. Here the first in the eye rushes a new steering wheel, which is exactly the same as in the model "Outlander". The rear cameras view is now displayed on the 7-inch monitor of the radio, and not on the rear-view mirror, as before. The shift washer was replaced by a button called "4WD". With its help, switching modes 2WD, 4WD and Lock. The rear axle of the car is activated automatically when the driving conditions deteriorate.

Engines and transmission

As in the previous modification of the car, one of the most significant advantages of the Mitsubishi ASH is the technical characteristics of the engines. Their variations for the model remained the same. The most modest option is a 117-horsepower power unit with a capacity of 1.6 liters. It functions in conjunction with a mechanical box in five steps. In this modification, only the front axle is used. The next motor is a 1.8-liter unit that develops 140 horsepower. It is also installed on a car with front-wheel drive, but works with the CVT-variator. The most powerful engine is a two-liter Mivec with 150 horsepower. In this case, a four-wheel drive is attached to the variator. An interesting feature of Mitsubishi 2013 engines is that their sound grows in proportion to the set of revolutions and corresponds to the degree of depression of the gas pedal.

Chassis and electronics

As the test-drive of the car shows, the Japanese designers have finalized the chassis. The novelty has received new front stabilizer struts and modified settings on the rear shock absorbers. Thanks to this, all sorts of road shortcomings no longer cause such discomfort as before. The electronics of the machine responds better to the traffic situation thanks to the use of a new control unit for exchange rate stability. Management of the car has become more pleasant in many respects due to the electric power steering.

Cost

The price for the new "Mitsubishi ASH", the technical characteristics of which were described above, in the minimum configuration of domestic dealers start from the mark of 699 thousand rubles. The cost of the maximum modification of a car with a full drive reaches a sum of 1.120 million rubles. Despite this, the model is among the top three best-selling in our country crossovers.
