Mitsubishi ASX

Mitsubishi Motors Corporation (MMC) showcased its Russian-spec ASX compact crossover at the Moscow International Automobile Salon 2010 held at Crocus Expo in Moscow from August 25 (open to the general public from Thursday August 26). A total of 12 vehicles are on display, including MMC’s core SUV lineup; Outlander, Pajero, and Pajero Sport, states information posted at the company website.
 
The Russian-spec ASX, equipped with a choice of MIVEC (Mitsubishi Innovative Valve timing Electronic Control system) engines mated to either a 5-speed manual transmission or 6-speed sport-mode CVT, provides superior fuel efficiency and low emissions in a compact package that can seat five. Sales of the ASX in Russia commenced this July.
 
MMC President Osamu Masuko noted, “Since the ASX was first launched this February in Japan, then in Europe and China, I am pleased to say that we are receiving such high praise for the vehicle that demand currently exceeds production in Japan. We plan to expand our SUV lineup in Russia with the new ASX in addition to commencing full-fledged SKD*3 production of the Outlander, the core of our SUV lineup, at a new assembly plant in Kaluga next month. We hope to meet the needs and expectations of our customers in Russia, one of our most important markets.”
