MITSUBISHI MOTORS CORPORATION PREMIERE THE ALL-NEW ASX COMPACT CROSSOVER AT THE 2010 GENEVA MOTOR SHOW

Mitsubishi Motors Corporation (MMC) premiered its ASX all-new compact crossover at the 80th Geneva International Motor Show held at the Geneva Palexpo in Switzerland on Tuesday March 2, 2010.

MMC’s new ASX compact crossover will seat 5 and will be introduced in the UK around June 2010. The ASX compact crossover follows in the footsteps of the larger and recently redesigned Outlander mid-size crossover.

Amongst other available powertrains, the European-spec version will be fitted with an all-new Euro 5-compliant 1.8L turbocharged direct-injection diesel engine jointly developed by MMC and Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Ltd. and will feature “Automatic Stop & Go” technology. Together with a 6-speed manual transmission, this combination will provide high environmental efficiency.
