Mitsubishi ASX II (2022–2025) (2022 – 2025)

Reliability score : 7.2/10

The second-generation Mitsubishi ASX, launched in 2022, marks a turning point for the model in Europe. It is in fact a rebadged Renault Captur II, a result of the Renault-Nissan-Mitsubishi alliance. This strategy allows Mitsubishi to maintain a presence in the highly competitive urban SUV segment in Europe, without the development costs of a new model. The ASX II therefore adopts the entire platform, powertrains, and interior of the Captur II, with minimal aesthetic modifications (grille, logos). It positions itself as a versatile compact SUV, focused on practicality and technology, benefiting from Renault's experience in modern powertrains, including hybrids. Its reliability is therefore intrinsically linked to that of the Renault Captur II.

✅ Strengths

Modern and customizable exterior design (two-tone)
Spacious and modular interior (sliding rear bench)
Good technological and safety features (ADAS)
Wide choice of powertrains, including efficient hybrids
Appreciable suspension comfort
Mitsubishi manufacturer's warranty (5 years/100,000 km in Europe, longer than Renault's)

⚠️ Weaknesses

Interior materials sometimes basic on entry-level trims
Ergonomics of the vertical touchscreen can be confusing
Rear visibility limited by design
Potentially higher price than the equivalent Captur (depending on offers)
Mitsubishi brand image diluted by rebadging

🎯 Verdict

The Mitsubishi ASX II is a relevant choice for those looking for a modern, well-equipped, and versatile urban SUV, with the advantage of a longer manufacturer's warranty than its Renault counterpart. Its reliability is directly that of the Renault Captur II, a model that has proven itself since 2019. The petrol engines (1.0 TCe and 1.3 TCe) are safe bets, with the 1.3 TCe offering an excellent compromise between performance and consumption. The E-Tech hybrid versions are very efficient in the city but more complex. Buying advice: * For urban/suburban use and a tight budget: The 1.0 TCe 90 hp or the 1.0 TCe LPG 100 hp are excellent choices. Simple, economical, and reliable. * For mixed use and more dynamism: The 1.3 TCe 140 hp MHEV offers superior driving pleasure without skyrocketing fuel consumption. It's an excellent compromise. * To maximize city savings: The E-Tech Hybrid 145 hp is very efficient, but its purchase cost is higher. * For high-mileage drivers with charging capability: The E-Tech Plug-in Hybrid 160 hp can be interesting, but its extra cost and complexity are only justified by regular charging. Negotiate the price if you find a recent used model, as depreciation can
