Mitsubishi press release :
Mitsubishi Motors (UK) is pleased to announce the pricing and
specification of its all-new urban crossover vehicle, the ASX.
Mitsubishi’s Managing Director, Lance Bradley, commented that,
“This is the right car, at the right time, at the right price and
specification. The CO2 reducing technologies will appeal to
fleets, user-choosers and retail customers alike – indeed, early
customer reaction has been very positive with advance orders already
taken.
“We’re targeting customers who would traditionally buy a C-segment
car, such as the VW Golf and Ford Focus, but also people looking to
down-size from their SUV or family estate car. With the ASX you really
do get the best of every world.
“It’s a game-changer for us, which could easily become a new ‘hero’
vehicle for the brand and heralds the advent of our new ‘Intelligent
Motion’ philosophy.”
