The 2026 Mitsubishi ASX is arriving into Australian showrooms in late 2025, with a slimmed-down range for the all-new Spanish-made small SUV.

The price of entry into the ASX has jumped by more than $13,000 – however, the new entry-level ASX is the LS variant, whereas previously there were three more affordable grades below the LS.

Along with the ASX LS, buyers can choose from the ASX Aspire and the range-topping ASX Exceed.

As previously reported, the all-new model is based on the Renault Captur – thanks to the Renault-Nissan-Mitsubishi Alliance, allowing the brands to share vehicles and platforms – with the ASX featuring revised front- and rear-end designs to bring it into line with Mitsubishi’s current design language.

Gone are the 2.0-litre and 2.4-litre non-turbo four-cylinder petrol engines from the outgoing ASX, with the vehicle instead adopting the Renault’s smaller turbo-petrol engine, offering an increase in torque – as well as reductions in fuel consumption and tailpipe emissions.

With Mitsubishi’s smallest SUV now taking on the Renault Captur’s dimensions, the new ASX is actually smaller than the previous model – but the Japanese automaker claims cabin space is improved thanks to smarter packaging, and aided by features like a sliding rear bench seat.

On sale for 15 years – more than some commercial vehicles – the outgoing ASX was a success story for Mitsubishi, with the company recording sales of more than 12,000 in 2024, from a high watermark of almost 21,000 in 2019.

Mitsubishi executives told Australian media including CarExpert they are aiming for ASX sales to return to “full volume”, despite the new model being aimed at a “more targeted consumer”.

Pricing

While the price of the most affordable ASX has jumped by $13,300, the ASX LS – now the entry-level variant – has gone up by $7250. Meanwhile, the new range-topping ASX Exceed costs $11,250 more than outgoing model.
