Ŷ APPEALING: Attractive front and sensible rear make the latest Mitsubishi ASX continue to sell well.
2020 Mitsubishi ASX Exceed MITSUBISHI has been a major player in the SUV and 4WD segments, selling the Eclipse Cross, Outlander, Pajero Sport and Pajero. The baby of the bunch is the ASX. It's not really an SUV and only has 2WD (the front wheels) but is hardly alone in this. Mitsubishi ASX is a small SUV that's been on sale in Australia since 2010. It frequently sits in top spot in sales for its class. A major reason for its success is the low prices achieved because its capital costs have been paid off. But there's more to it than that – it's stylish, easy to drive and appeals to families with preteen children. STYLING This upgraded for 2020 Mitsubishi ASX has the “Mitsubishi Dynamic Shield” front
By EWAN KENNEDY end. In the ASX black and chrome finishes have been added to the new-shape front bumper and grille. The semi-sporty GSR model has a rear spoiler.
CarPlay, Android Auto and DAB radio. The ASX Exceed also gains a Rockford Premium audio system and TomTom navigation.
INTERIOR Inside are black cloth headlining, microsuede and leather-look seats with red stitching. The Exceed has leather seats.
ENGINES / TRANSMISSIONS The biggest change is that the ASX Exceed and the new GSR model have a 2.4-litre engine with power of 123 kW and torque at 222 Nm. The others retain the existing 2.0-litre powerplant (110 kW / 197 Nm).
INFOTAINMENT The 2020 model has an eight-inch display system, a nice move up from the previous seven-inch unit. The screen is clear and only requires a quick glance, which is a handy safety feature for the driver. Infotainment features include Apple
SAFETY Active Stability Control is now standard across the Mitsubishi ASX range to improve handling and enhance safety. Electrochromatic rear view mirror and Forward Collision Mitigation (FCM), previously part of the ASX with ADAS package,
are now standard across the range. This system detects obstructions ahead and issues a visual and audible alert when there is a danger of a collision, automatically applying the brakes to either avoid a collision or reduce the impact. Mitsubishi ASX ES can be ordered with the ADAS package, with additional features, including lane departure warning, automatic low/high beam, reverse sensors, blind spot warning, lane change assist and rear cross traffic alert. Mitsubishi’s Emergency Stop Signal System automatically flashes the hazard lights to warn the driver behind when sudden braking is detected at a speed above 55km/h.

2020 Mitsubishi ASX Exceed Cornering is simple and the ASX generally follows the chosen line without you having to correct it midway through. Road noise is generally well damped, but some stretches of Australia’s notorious coarse-chip surfaces set up a huge racket in the cabin. Fuel consumption during our test around town was in the nine to eleven litres per hundred kilometres range, on the gentle sections of our road test route and motorways it could slip below six litres per hundred.
Ŷ From page 1 DRIVING The 2.4-litre engine has plenty of grunt and will even give a short period of torque steer if you flatten the accelerator off the line. It’s nicely responsive, which we like as it's more pleasant to pilot than the small displacement turbo-petrol engines. The front seats are quite well shaped and provide a comfortable ride. The rear seats will probably require an adult sitting behind the driver to ask for a bit more legroom, footroom is fine. Five can be carried but it's better if the three in the back are kids. Improvements to the Mitsubishi ASX in its latest incarnation makes it reasonably smooth and comfortable. Steering has a nice feel and gives the driver a good feel of what’s going on. It's no sports SUV, though the engine almost puts it into that category at times.

THE Mercedes-Benz EQC is Wheels Car of the Year for 2020. The family-sized SUV launched in 2019 is the first pure-electric series-production vehicle from MercedesBenz. Hopefully it will be the first of many electrics to win awards in what is an everchanging world. “The Mercedes-Benz EQC was a clear winner,” said Wheels editor, Alex Inwood. “The EQC’s masterstroke is its stunning completeness. It was the safest car in this year’s field and also one of the most refined.” Mercedes-Benz Australia-Pacific CEO and managing director, Horst von Sanden
said, “We are exceptionally proud to accept the Wheels Car of the Year award for 2020. “The EQC represents one of the most ambitious developments in MercedesBenz history. Our engineers designed not just our first series production electric vehicle, but a family-friendly SUV for the 21st century that is a true Mercedes-Benz in every sense.” The Mercedes-Benz EQC 400 4MATIC is fitted with front and rear asynchronous electric motors with a combined output of 300 kW of power and 760 Nm of torque. The 80 kW/h battery delivers up to 434 km of driving range (ADR) and can be recharged to 220km in just 30 mins at an ultra-rapid charging station.
