Mitsubishi Signals Captur-Based ASX Is a Stopgap as It Plans a True Successor

Overview

• Mitsubishi Australia managers told CarExpert the new ASX fills a need until a “true replacement” is developed, describing the current model as an interim solution.
• The Australian ASX is a Renault Captur rebadge built in Europe with a 1.3-litre turbo engine and seven-speed dual-clutch transmission, starting at $37,740 before on-road costs.
• The Captur donor entered Europe in 2019 and is mid‑cycle, suggesting a potentially shorter local lifecycle for this ASX, though Mitsubishi says future product plans are still being decided.
• Company leaders cited a dynamic market and evolving rules as factors, with Australia’s lineup set to narrow to Triton, Outlander and ASX once Eclipse Cross and Pajero Sport stock runs out.
• Mitsubishi is leaning on aftersales support, offering a five-year/100,000 km warranty that extends to 10 years/200,000 km with on‑time dealer servicing under its capped‑price program.
