Q
Does Mitsubishi ASX have 4WD?
The Mitsubishi ASX offers two versions in Malaysia: front-wheel drive (2WD) and four-wheel drive (4WD). Among them, the 4WD is only available for models with a 2.0L engine, paired with a CVT transmission and Mitsubishi's 4WD electronic control system, it can automatically adjust torque distribution under different road conditions, enhancing grip on slippery roads or during light off - roading. In contrast, the 1.6L version only comes with front - wheel drive, which is more suitable for daily urban commuting.
The four - wheel drive system of the ASX is not designed for professional off - roading but focuses on safety and stability. It's practical enough for drivers who occasionally drive on muddy roads or slippery surfaces during the rainy season. If you often drive on unpaved rural roads, the 4WD version of the ASX is more adaptable than an ordinary front - wheel drive SUV. However, if you only use it in the city, the front - wheel drive version is more economical in terms of fuel consumption and price.
Mitsubishi has rich experience in four - wheel drive technology. For example, the 4WD systems of Pajero and Triton are widely recognized. So, the reliability of the ASX's 4WD version is trustworthy. However, its ground clearance and approach angle still belong to the category of urban SUVs, which aren't suitable for heavy - duty off - road requirements.
For consumers in Malaysia, whether to spend more on the 4WD version mainly depends on their daily driving environment. If the budget allows and you often encounter rainy - day terrains, the 4WD version would be a better choice.

Q
What is the eco mode of Mitsubishi ASX?
The eco mode of the Mitsubishi ASX is specifically designed for more fuel - efficient driving. In this mode, the vehicle undergoes several adjustments. It typically optimizes the engine's operation, slightly reducing the power output to cut down on fuel consumption. This optimize may involve adjusting the throttle response. When you press the accelerator pedal, the engine receives less fuel than in normal mode, resulting in smoother acceleration.
The shifting logic of the transmission is also modified. It tends to shift gears earlier, keeping the engine at a lower revolutions per minute (RPM), which allows the engine to burn fuel more efficiently.
The eco mode may also affect the air - conditioning control system. It reduces the energy consumption of the air - conditioning to some extent without significantly impairing comfort. In this way, the fuel costs will be reduced during your daily driving, especially in urban traffic or when you don't need maximum power. However, it's important to note that when you need rapid acceleration, such as overtaking on the highway, you may need to switch out of the eco mode to get more agile performance.
Q
How to start Mitsubishi ASX?
The Mitsubishi ASX is an automatic transmission vehicle, and the steps to start it are as follows: First, open the door, sit in the driver's seat, adjust the seat, and fasten your seatbelt. Then, toggle the turn signal switch to turn on the left turn signal to alert vehicles and pedestrians behind you. Next, press down on the brake pedal and place the transmission lever in the "D" gear. Press the horn for one time and release the handbrake. Observe the surrounding traffic conditions and slowly lift your foot off the brake pedal. Finally, gently press the accelerator pedal. After getting on the driving lane, return the turn signal to its original position.
It should be noted that you must ensure the safety of the vehicle's surrounding environment before starting. Throughout the starting process, your actions should be smooth and steady. Avoid sudden acceleration or hard braking to ensure driving safety and comfort.
Q
Does Mitsubishi ASX have cruise control?
The provided information about the 2018 Mitsubishi ASX two - wheel drive and four - wheel drive models doesn't mention whether the vehicle is equipped with a cruise control system. Generally speaking, there are different types of cruise control systems, such as the basic Constant Speed Cruise (CCS) and the more advanced Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC). Constant Speed Cruise allows you to set a fixed speed, enabling the vehicle to maintain that speed, so you don't have to keep your foot on the accelerator pedal all the time. On the other hand, Adaptive Cruise Control can adjust the vehicle's speed according to the situation of the vehicle in front. Many modern cars are equipped with these features, which are usually controlled by buttons on the steering wheel or a dedicated joystick. Some vehicles are required to reach a certain speed (usually over 30 kilometers per hour) before the cruise control system can be activated. If you want to know whether the Mitsubishi ASX is equipped with a cruise control system, it's best to check the vehicle's user manual or consult the Mitsubishi dealer.
Q
Does Mitsubishi ASX run on petrol 91 or 95?
Mitsubishi ASX is officially recommended to use RON 95 gasoline for optimal performance and fuel efficiency. Although the engine can still run on RON 91 gasoline (thanks to the adaptability of modern EFI systems), long - term use of low - octane fuel may lead to decreased fuel efficiency, a slight risk of knocking, or a slightly weaker power response, especially under high - load driving conditions such as high - speed overtaking or uphill driving.
Moreover, Mitsubishi's 4B1 series engines (e.g., the 2.0L MIVEC) are designed to be optimized for RON 95 gasoline. Therefore, using the officially recommended fuel can better protect the engine and maintain high fuel efficiency. Considering the different minimal prices of RON 95 (RM 2.05 per liter) and RON 91 (RM 2.00 per liter) in Malaysia, it is advisable to choose RON 95 first to balance performance and maintenance costs.
If you can't find RON 95 temporarily, it's okay to mix in some RON 91 occasionally under emergency. However, try to avoid long - term mixing or using lower - grade fuel. For vehicle owners, following the manufacturer's recommendations can not only enhance the driving experience but also help extend the engine's lifespan.
Q
How to open the fuel cap of Mitsubishi ASX?
