Segment
Small SUV
Mitsubishi's small SUV — and a curious survivor. Mk1 (2010–2023) on Mitsubishi's GS platform with petrol 1.6 / 2.0 MIVEC and diesel 1.6 / 2.2. Mk2 (2023-Present) is a rebadged Renault Captur Mk2, built in Spain at the same Valladolid plant — Mitsubishi pulled out of Europe and partnered with Renault for replacement models. Used Mk1 ASXs are cheap, simple, AWD-optional family motoring. Mk2 is essentially a Captur in different clothing.
