The Mitsubishi ASX is one of a growing number of SUV-inspired family cars that have been introduced to compete against conventional hatchbacks like the Volkswagen Golf. Described as a crossover, it blends together the commanding driving position of an off-roader, with fuss-free hatchback-style handling. The Nissan Qashqai kick-started this movement, and the ASX is hoping to cash in on the expanding marketplace. Two engine choices are offered, while the diesel is the only model that's available with four-wheel drive. All versions come with plenty of equipment as standard.
