2024 Mitsubishi ASX GS: Quick Review

The 2024 Mitsubishi ASX is an economical choice within the small SUV category, with a starting price of $24,490 before on-road costs.

The GS trim represents the most budget-friendly option in the ASX lineup, which has maintained its presence for over a decade while consistently providing a compelling value proposition.

In an already bustling segment, let's take a look at what the entry-level ASX variant will get you.

Pricing & Features

The base GS model offers the choice between manual and automatic transmissions, with the automatic option incurring an additional $2,000 cost.

Standard specs include 16-inch steel wheels, an 8.0-inch touchscreen infotainment system with Bluetooth and voice control, Wired Apple CarPlay and Android Auto and two front USB ports.

Pay a bit more for an ASX ES and extra features include 18-inch alloy wheels, reverse sensors, rain-sensing wipers and climate control with rear air-vents.

All colours besides the standard white carry a $740 premium, other than White Diamond which adds $940.

Safety

The Mitsubishi ASX GS comes equipped with a range of standard safety features, such as forward collision mitigation, automatic high beam and hill start assist.

It's important to note that the current ASX does not have a safety rating from the crash-test organisation ANCAP. The most test conducted on this model dates back to 2014, which surpasses the six-year expiration period now used for vehicle assessments. The ASX had previously held a five-star safety rating.

Should I put it on my shortlist?

In a segment with strong competition, the ASX continues to offer strong value, with the sub-$30K GS.

Although considered a small SUV you also get alot of bang for your buck regarding space and size, as one of the larger cars in the small segment.

Considering the vehicle has been around for over 13 years it is yet to be seen if an all new model is on the horizon. Ageing is evident in the interior however the design on the outside continues to impress many buyers.

Mitsubishi's warranty and capped price servicing over a ten year period is no small offer, and might be what you're looking for in an affordable small SUV.
