Mitsubishi ASX is a small crossover, cute outside and comfortable enough inside, well suits for a driver's girl, and for a small family. Before the appearance of ASX in this class of cars, there was almost the only leader, but Mitsubishi managed to draw up to him worthy competition.

Externally, the car turned out to be quite spectacular, in the front of the car, a radiator grille is used in the form of a trapezoid (Jet Faiter style). And the bevel over the roof not only gives more sporty features of appearance, but also improves aerodynamics. At Mitsubishi ASX used fundamentally new front optics with xenon lamps, which have 160 degrees lighting angle.

Weak places Mitsubishi ASX with mileage

The front wings are made of plastic, and not from metal as all cars, which is very good, especially for novice drivers, as these wings are withstanding minor contacts with another vehicle or a parking column better than metallic. Mitsubishi ASX body is made of a good quality metal, and even if chipsets appear on it, the rust metal is not covered long enough. And it would be possible to put the body for reliability of the hard five, but brought the paintwork, which, like most modern cars, is rather weak and quickly covered with scratches.

Power units

This car has only three - 1.6 (117 hp) is installed only with a mechanical transmission, 1.8 (140 hp) only in a pair with a variator, both engines are found only on the front-wheel drive versions, but the motor volume 2.0 (150 L.S.) is installed on all-wheel drive versions, paired with a variator or mechanics. There are ASX Mitsubishi and Turbodiesel with a volume of 1.8 l (150 hp), but machines with such an engine are practically not found on the secondary market, since we are not officially sold. In the first machines with a motor 1.6, the engine detonation is quite common, and it occurs due to the fact that fuel on our gas stations of dubious quality. Another problem that concerns only the weakest motor is the freezing of the crankcase gases, as a result, from under the oil probe squeezes oil (in 2012 the manufacturer eliminated this flaw).

1.8 liter motor has similar disadvantages with Mitsubishi Outlander engines. The most common one is a problem with the generator belt. The fact is that in some modes the belt began to rattle it unpleasantly, this is due to the fact that the generator does not have an overtaking coupling. This problem can be solved on your own, you need to buy a strap of a little more size and pave it a little bit otherwise (there are a huge number of detailed schemes on the forums).

As for the most powerful engine, it is among the top five most reliable power units, according to the versions of many reputable European publishers. Its resource with proper maintenance is more than 500,000 mileage kilometers. As for the GD drive, all types of engines he is chain. This node, like the power units, has a fairly large resource of robots, and does not require much attention to 300,000 km.

Transmission

Mitsubishi ASX is equipped with a five-speed manual transmission of its own production "", or by a clinoremable variator with a metal pushing belt and a torque converter. Before restyling, the "Jatco Serial 2" variator was installed, and after - "Jatco CVT8". Cars with a mechanical transmission occurs quite rarely, as for reliability, there are no complaints about this box, and there is nothing to complain about. But the variator does not boast of such reliability, and during operation can present surprises, most often this transmission causes problems to owners of cars with a full drive.

And if you want the variator as long as possible without breakdowns, change the oil every 500,000 miles of run and not on ababa, but only at the recommended manufacturer. Also, transmission overheating is also impossible. The first signs that the variator will soon have to change - with acceleration, a distinct metallic sound is heard; The car holds high speed, and acceleration does not occur. If the light bulb lights up - this means that the variator is overheated, and he needs to give a little cool. When choosing a used Mitsubisi ASX with a variator, you need to be very attentive, since the repair of this node will cost 1500 cu

The full drive system is implemented using an electromagnetic coupling that does not require maintenance. In the case of active wheel slip, this node is quickly overheated, this will tell you the indicator on the dashboard. If overheating occurred, then he needs to be allowed to cool.

Mitsubishi suspension ASX

Mitsubishi ASX built on the trolley of the older brother " », and it has the same sores, but due to the fact that the ASX is easier, the output of the parts of the suspension happens less frequently. If this machine is operated mainly in the city with a satisfactory road surface, then the first attachments in the suspension will be needed after 100,000 km of run. But if the previous owner often stormed off road or the road in his region is not very, you need to be ready to put a little blood into the suspension.

The first is not to withstand the harsh exploitation of the rack and the stabilizer bushings, followed by them the replacement of the steering tips and shock absorbers, it takes place to 50-60 thousand km of mileage. The rest of the details, even if the car does not spare much before you, will serve for a long time 90 - 120 thousand km. This model is equipped with an electric steering amplifier, which means that there is nothing to leak into it, and the failure of this node is rare.

Outcome:

Mitsubishi ASX has a lot of advantages, but like most cars with mileage have their own minuses. In fairness, it is worth noting that this car has shortcomings, they are not so much, and they appear mainly from neat drivers.

Advantages:

• Reliable and resource power units.
• Mechanical transmission.
• Road clearance 195 mm.
• Metal chain timing chain.
• Front wings are made of plastic.
• Moderate fuel consumption.
• Reliable suspension.

Disadvantages:

• Problems with engine detonation.
• The generator does not have an overtook coupling.
• Weak paintwork.
• In the event of a breakdown of the variator, you will have to upset.

If you are or were the owner of this car brand, please share your experience, indicating the strengths and weaknesses of the car. Perhaps it is your feedback that will help others correctly choose a used car.

The advantages and disadvantages of Mitsubishi Ash 2018-2019 in the new body are identified on the basis of reviews of real owners. More detailed pros and cons Mitsubishi ASX with mechanics, variator, front and full AWD drive can be found from the stories below.

Ownership reviews

Well, say according to the first consumer impressions. Driving comfortable. The steering wheel is small, spinning easily, gently, adjustable in height. Immediately pulled out the first minus from the finger - visibility. Side glasses are big, good. Lopes (mirrors) are big, good. Salon rear mirror and rear window - small, uncomfortable. You can get used to it, but still inconvenience takes place.

Front, too, the thick front racks reproduce visits a lot. Constantly falling because of them to look out. Yes, there is a reverse side - security, but a good review is also the same safety. Grieved.

Plastic in the cabin was surprisingly not expected hard. Yes, before the machines of the early 2000s and the 90s of this plastic, as from Paris to Siberia, but in comparison with the analogues - even more or less. Everything is relative. Seats - ordinary. Not the most comfortable, but also did not zhiguli. Landing on the first very pleased - high, sit very comfortable. Only then the Association was strengthened - a stool. It's convenient to sit down, sit down (go) Well ... no matter how much.

The engine is quite powerful, the inmacy and reliable. Do not say that quiet, but again - depending on what to compare. If you drive 150 km / h - the loading machine does not feel, you can still give. Serious stock. For maintenance - all elementary: you can independently, you can in any car service.

Body. Very good LCP. For 5 years of use there were pebbles, and large midges. Maximum damage - barely noticeable solids. In the spring of 2017, some kind of infection in the parking lot of the supermarket was tyranny handle my door and washed off. Also nothing criminal, but Thair remained.

The trunk corresponds to the class of cars. Not big, but not small. The rear seats are folded into the almost smooth floor, and there can be four wheels inside without any problems on 16-inch drives.

Feedback about Mitsubishi ASX 1.8 Variator with front-wheel drive

Video Feedback

Auto is good in control, brakes without complaints. The salon is quite spacious, and the trunk is small. The audio system sounds good.

Not a bad car for your money, for 65,000 thousand mileage no breakdowns, especially pleases the start of the engine at 30 degrees of frost (almost always the first time). The small consumption of gasoline and bulk gas tank allow for the whole day to drive to the refueling only once.

But noise isolation leaves much to be desired. I would also like to more clear gear shifts. In addition, on a dirt road quickly splashes the back.

Feedback about Mitsubishi AFC 1.8 with mechanics and front-wheel drive 2013.

Where can I buy?

For almost 2 years of ownership of the purchase, I did not regret, but in some moments disappointed. In many reviews it was written that in the cabin there was bad sound insulation, it was not true in my configuration, it was very quiet in the cabin and cozy! It only becomes noisily when at a speed of about 100 km / h should be sharp and have to make a pedal to the floor.

The variator is a little stupid, but it is hardly felt. For example, if the gas pedal is drowning to the middle and let go very sharply, then the car will not think to respond to this gesture. Even the place does not touch, so it is necessary to work as if to lead.

Next about handling. The steering wheel is convenient and controlled by various functions. Electric drive - miracle! Baranca is spinning as if it does not even load on it. By itself, the steering wheel is responsive and informative.

Feedback on Mitsubishi ASX 2.0 (150 hp) 4wd Variator 2012 G.V.

I bought at one time for 830,000 rubles (Japanese assembly). The car cost her money in those years. Design class, and good capacity. A small truck that I used to transport everything that is humor. Bought, sat down and drove.

Consumption is small, the smallest is 5.3 liters per 100 km. Dynamics at the level, but the consumption is higher. Handling perfect. It is possible to maintain both the place under the hood of a free full.

While the car is not going to change, the more assembly of the new ASX after 2012 is conducted in the United States.

Vladimir, review about Mitsubishi ASX 1.6 (117 hp) 2wd mechanics 2012 G.V.

The engine, of course, on the run-in, but even within 2-3 thousand revolutions feel it for a trap. Perhaps real overclocking up to hundreds really within 11.4 seconds, but, in sensations, the car moves more dynamically.

Compared to the previous machine, the gear lever is much easier here, which, on the one hand, is great, but on the other, it requires adaptation. For example, I did not adapt to the first time to include the third gear, with a fifth. The back, on the contrary, is turned on easier and clearer.

The steering wheel works like a clock. They wrote about excessive ease in the settings, which creates problems when driving at high speed, but I still do not feel this.

Review about Mitsubishi ASX with mechanics and front-wheel drive

Mitsubishi ASX is a compact urban crossover, built on a shortened platform Mitsubishi Outlander. At home, in Japan, ASX appeared on sale in February 2010 under the name Mitsubishi RVR. In March 2010, a European version of the Compact Crossover was presented at the Geneva Motor Show, and in April - North American, under the name Mitsubishi Outlander Sport. ASX sales in Europe began in June 2010. In the fall of 2012, AFS has undergone a small restyling.

Engines

In Arsenal Mitsubishi ASX Three gasoline engines: a working volume of 1.6 l with a capacity of 117 hp, 1.8 l - 140 hp and 2.0 l - 150 hp All power units have the timing chain drive. European versions can be equipped with a diesel engine 1.8 liters - 150 hp

The owners of Mitsubishi ASX with a base engine of 1.6 liters from time to time mark problems with launch: the motor starts from the second or third times. Since the problem is not systemic, then it was not possible to identify the cause.

But the detonation arising from the turns close to 3000 rpm, the phenomenon for the 1.6 l engine is more common. This phenomenon is presumably associated with a high degree of compression of 11.0: 1 and the decrease in the mixture on certain modes. It is well known that detonation adversely affects the "health" of the motor. But copies that rolled over 50-100 thousand km, demonstrate the absence of any unpleasant consequences. Some owners marked the relationship between the appearance of detonation and changing the place of refueling. Separate authorized service centers offer a new firmware for the engine ECU, but after the update, detonation does not always disappear. According to the "Ovalists" - the factory firmware has been changed at the ASX 2012 model year, excluding the emergence of detonation. But individual owners still celebrate its appearance.

In severe frosts, below 30 degrees, on crossovers with an engine of 1.6 liters there were cases of extrusion of oil through probe and glands due to moving the ventilation pipe of crankcase gases. At the end of 2011, the Mitsubishi Technical Bulletin was released, prescribing the replacement of the old sample nozzle on a modified - with a large internal diameter. The new nozzle began to install on the conveyor since 2012.

Specific features appeared on the restyled version of Mitsubishi ASC with an engine 1.8 liters. The engine has received another scheme of the gasket of the drive belt of auxiliary units with a smaller number of rollers and a shortened belt. As a result, extraneous sounds resembling rattling appear on the turns of close to 1000-1200 rpm. When contacting authorized mechanics, mechanics often mistakenly assume that it resonates the crankcase protection. But in fact, the sound source is a vibrating tensioner of the drive belt. Some "Kulibins" got rid of extraneous noise by independently changing the strap layout scheme. "Native" belt for these purposes is not suitable: the new one had to be selected.

Power unit 2.0 l no complaints from owners did not receive.

Transmission

Mitsubishi ASX with a 1.6 L engine equipped with a 5-speed manual gearbox. There were no problems with the box. Several owners took advantage of the guarantee due to the eyepassed release bearing.

The remaining motors were aggregated exclusively with a stepless variator "Jatco". Most of the owners are concerned about the reliability of the box, and carefully react to the slightest deviations from the usual norm. In particular, there are small jackets when setting speeds on revolutions about 2000 rpm or a passage of a mark of 30-40 km / h. But this is the normal operation of the variator - the torque converter is activated. Complaints about the appearance of trolleybus hums are not marked. However, it was not without serious incidents: a few cases of the failure of the box and immobilization of the car were recorded. In case of primary inspection, the chips was found in the oil, and the final verdict official services did not disclose. But it is worth noting that there are only a few such cases. The experience of operating the data of variators on the elder brother Outlander XL testifies to the absence of mass problems with CVT.

Chassis

The first Mitsubisi ASX got a loose rear suspension: they appeared on the irregularities, he appeared on the corners, which led to a sharp care from the trajectory. The dangerous behavior of the crossover is well "tasted" drivers preferring active driving style. Later, on the 2012 model years cars, the chassis settings were changed, and the problem was exhausted.

The category "consumables" in the suspension of ACS includes a stabilizer bushings with a resource of more than 35-40 thousand km (from 200 to 400 rubles for the original sleeve). The front shock absorbers are not lagging behind, which are often beginning to leak or knock after 40-60 thousand km. The cost of a new depreciation rack is about 6-7 thousand rubles.

Other problems and malfunctions

Paintwork body covering is not resistant to external influences: Square and scratches will soon appear. Occasionally there are complaints about the appearance of bloats on the surface of the side doors and rear arches. It is often observed condensate in fog and rear lights. Glasses of fog lights are often bursting from a sharp drop temperature. For example, after entering snow or cold water from the puddle. Often the prey of "AutoTors" become the PTF lining and the lantern itself.

Place tick \u200b\u200bSalon often becomes a seatingman "Crichep", especially in the cold. With the arrival of frosts, in the cabin, there is often "drops" from the ceiling flank. This common phenomenon on modern cars - condensate is formed on the inner surface of the roof. The "anomaly" by the sizing of the inner surface of the roof of the heat-insulating material is eliminated.

Over time, leather upholstery of the switching lever MCPP and steering wheel. The service book Mitsubishi prudently noted that the natural wear of these items is not a warranty case.

The owners of ASX equipped with electric seats, after 10 thousand km, often notice the appearance of longitudinal backlash, tangible when accelerating and braking.

No systematic problems with climatic installation and electrician have not been detected.

Conclusion

The complete reliability picture of Mitsubishi ASX is not yet formed, but the beginning is good. It is a pity that I did not refine the rear suspension of crossovers collected until 2012. It would not hurt to take something with the front shock absorbers.

Good day. In today's article, the model weaknesses of Mitsubishi ACS and problems during operation are considered. Traditionally, for our site, the article is supplemented with excellent photos and video materials.

Competition among compact crossovers is now cruel. Almost every automotive manufacturer considers its duty to offer customers of a compact lighter off-road. Mitsubishi did not exception, which in 2010 introduced the Mitsubishi ASX crossover in the European market. And among competitors, the Japanese Parcourt not lost. After a year, on the streets of our cities, ASX began to come across enviable regularity, and now the compact crossover is often found quite often in the urgent car market. And there is also not deprived of attention from potential buyers. But will there be an exploitation of the used Mitsubishi ASX joyful and serene?

Body is a weak place Mitsubishi ASX.

Paint and varnish plating almost all modern cars is a favorite object of criticism from motorists. It did not exception and the Japanese crossover. After a couple of years of operation, a sufficiently large number of small chips and scratches appear on the Body of Mitsubishi ASX. He did not bypass the Japanese crossover and another problem of modern cars - the appearance of condensate in the rear lights and fog. But if you can still put up with it, then with blasting glasses of fog lamps, it is much more complicated. Save them safe and preservation, however, it's not so difficult. To do this, try not to expose gentle glass fog abrupt temperatures. So forcing deep puddles at full speed on Mitsubishi ASX is better not to be carried away.

Salon - cheap and angry.

The cabin plastic in ASX is not too expensive, so there is nothing surprising in the fact that over time he begins to try a little. Most of the owners of the crossover to the screen get used to and simply cease to pay attention to it. But it will not be used to get used to drops from the ceiling ceiling. The problem will have to decide. From condensate, which is formed between the roof and its upholstery, it is possible to get rid of sizing the inner surface of the roof with special thermal insulation materials. It will cost this not very expensive, but it will have to tinker.

Engine ruler - what is better to choose?

For the Mitsubishi ASX sold in our market, three gasoline engines were offered, each of which has a timing chain drive. At the moment, the least complaints with the owners of the Japanese crossover to the most powerful two-liter engine with a capacity of 150 horsepower. With timely service, he will not remind himself at all.

But the weakest engine, which, with a volume of 1.6 liters, develops 117 horsepower, from time to time can deliver small problems. Some owners of Mitsubishi ASX with this power unit have already managed to complain about the fact that they are not always able to run the car from the first time. But since during the years of production of the crossover, the problem did not become systemic, then the Japanese do not think about her decision. But with detonation, which on cars with an engine with a volume of 1.6 liters sometimes occurs on medium turns, dealers and most Mitsubishi tried to fight. They produced a new firmware of the engine ECU, which partially solved the problem. Although the individual owners still note that sometimes detonation appears again.

To the 140-strong gasoline engine of 1.8 liters claims less. Only on restyled versions of the crossover, and they began to be issued in 2012, this power unit sometimes scared the owners of the Japanese crossover with the appearance of foreign rattling sounds. And if first official dealers vinyl in all the resonant protection of the crankcase, then it turned out that the source of foreign sounds is the vibrating tensioner of the drive belt.

Transmission problems.

A very reliable mechanical gearbox on Mitsubishi ASX is relatively rare. Most cars that have already managed to prove themselves on the older Outlander model. Only single cases of premature exit of the variator failure are known. And in this case, it is safe to say that wines for this entirely lies on the owners of ill-fated cars.

The suspension is another weak place.

So if there is a weak place at Mitsubishi ASX, then it is definitely his suspension. Not only that on dorestayling crossovers, it turned out to be not the best (on cars that were released after 2012, the settings were changed for the better), it is also far from the point of view of reliability. The stabilizer bushings on Mitsubishi ASX are withstanding only 35-40 thousand kilometers, after another 10-15 thousand kilometers the crossover may disappear by leaking front shock absorbers. The remaining "consumables" is kept more. And the cost of them is quite acceptable, so that the Suspension of the Japanese does not need the special costs.

Conclusion.

From small troubles, the owners of Mitsubishi ASX are certainly not insured, but the Japanese crossover will not deliver big trouble. In terms of reliability, it looks much more preferable to most of its competitors. No wonder even used Mitsubishi ASX their new owners find enough quickly.

Today I have everything, if you want to add an article about the weak points of Mitsubishi ASX - Write comments.

Cars manufactured by the largest Japanese company Mitsubishi are quite popular in Russia. And this is not surprising, their ratio of price and quality is optimal, and the specifications are excellent. An excellent confirmation is the Mitsubishi ASX machine. Stylish, comfortable, small sizes The crossover is appreciated by many domestic drivers. The car will suit both for representatives of beautiful sex and families.

Mitsubishi ASX 1st generation was made from 2010 to 2012, so today it can only be purchased used. The car has a spectacular appearance, a trapezoid radiator grille is installed on the bumper. The top of the roof is slightly beserved, which had a positive effect on aerodynamics and gave the body-style body. Installed a new option of front optics. The angle of illumination by xenon headlights reaches 160 degrees.

Presented in several configurations equipped with different gasoline engines:

• Volume 1.6 liters, 117 horsepower, mechanical transmission, front-wheel drive;
• Volume 1.8l, 140 horsepower, variator, front-wheel drive;
• Volume 2.0l, power of 150 horsepower, mechanical gearbox or variator, four-wheel drive.

Cars with a turbo diesel engine of 1.8 liters and a capacity of 150 horsepower is extremely rare. Since officially on the territory of our country is not sold.

Weak places Mitsubishi Hey Es-Iks since 2010

• Body;
• Salon;
• Engine;
• Transmission;
• Suspension.

The body is a weak place at the car. Paintwork does not differ in high quality, so it is easily scratched. After a few years of operation, chips appear on it. The shots of the trunk lid quickly rust. Eliminate the defect can be warranty for free.

Condensate in the rear heads and fogging - Another trouble that drivers Mitsubishi ASX faces. To put up with this is difficult, but you can. Where worse when the glass of fog lamps burst. This is due to the fact that the material is very fragile and does not withstand sharp differences of temperature.

Plastic in the cabin is not high quality, so with time creaks. Eliminate the unpleasant sound is practically not possible and many owners get used to it, do not pay attention.

There is condensate between the roof and the upholstery. The sign of this problem is a drop on the ceiling beam. It is easy to eliminate it, it will help the thermal insulation material that needs to be pasted inside the roof. This procedure is troublesome, but it is not expensive.

Among all cars offered in the domestic market, the most reliable engine is considered a power unit with a volume of 2.0 l and a capacity of 150 horsepower. If it is in time to fulfill the necessary procedures for its maintenance, then problems are unlikely to arise throughout the entire period of operation.

The volume of 1.6 liters and a capacity of 117 horsepower will deliver a lot of hassle to its owners. Some of them do not come from the first time. Over this problem, the manufacturer works, but has not yet eliminated. Detonation appears on medium turnover. A new firmware of the ECU of the power unit helped her helped. The fuel filter resource is 70 thousand km, after which it is necessary to install a new one.

Complaints on a motor with a volume of 1.8 l less, but still there. The main defects lies in the appearance of unpleasant sound in the form of rattling. Creates its vibrating tensioner of the drive belt. The problem can be solved on your own. To do this, you need to purchase a larger belt than installed by the manufacturer. It is paired in a little different.

When running 60 thousand km, the rollers of the belt of the attached equipment are faced. They wear out and require replacement. Otherwise, the belt is jumping.

The carriage of the motor 2.0 liters is uneven work at idle. It happens when the throttle is clogged. During operation, there is a drawdown of a graphite ring of the receiving pipe. A sign of a malfunction is the buzz during engine operation.

Manual gearbox rarely fails. But the variator is not distinguished by reliability. It is characterized by frequent failures in the work, which arise through the fault of auto owners. Improper operation and departure lead to numerous breakdowns. So, in a strong heat at high speed in it, oil overheats. The corresponding light bulb will help on this, located on the instrument panel. In this case, it is necessary to stop the car and wait until the lubrication temperature comes to normal.

Plant manufacturer It recommends changing the oil in the variator every 70 thousand km of run. At the same time install new filters. But in practice it is impossible to wait this period, it is necessary to pour a new consumable material at 30,000 km. Since the lubricant loses its useful properties and becomes not suitable for operation.

The suspension is one of the most vulnerable places of the car. It is hard to carry the irregularities of domestic roads. The first failure of the stabilizer bushings. It happens already when running 40-50 thousand km. After 15-20 thousand km, the front shock absorbers begin to leak. Other consumables are able to serve longer. Racks - 140 thousand km or more, ball supports of the front levers - 180 thousand km. The cost of details is low, so the repair will cost inexpensively.

The main disadvantages of Mitsubishi ASX 1st generation

1. Bad noise insulation;
2. Rear shock absorbers weak;
3. There is no all-wheel drive model in Russia;
4. Rigid suspension;
5. Central locking panel;
6. Low quality paintwork.

Conclusion.

Mitsubishi ASX is not worse in service and is economical at fuel consumption. Problems in the process of its operation arise, but minor. Most of them can be avoided if providing auto timely service. The cost of eliminating breakdowns is small. This for many drivers becomes a decisive factor when choosing a car. Used options are no less claimed than new ones.
