2011 Mitsubishi ASX

Mitsubishi Motors extends the concept one step below (segment C), with the introduction of a younger brother and sport: the new Mitsubishi ASX compact crossover. Another "world engine for the regions" of Mitsubishi Motors, and therefore the specified name and accordingly, Mitsubishi ASX was first released in Japan in February 2010 (as "RVR"). After its European premiere at the Geneva Motor Show 2010 will retail in Europe in late spring 2010.

From concept to reality CX ASX

Sharing the same evocative "Blue Kawasemi" introduction of color, the new 2011 Mitsubishi ASX is a commercial interpretation Concept-cX show car presented at the IAA 2007, whose success convinced the administration of MMC in a production car itself.

More than about 20 cm (4.295 m against the concept is 4.11 m), slightly higher (+ 6.5 cm) and large (+ 2 cm), and offers more vertical tailgate while creating optimal packaging, Mitsubishi ASX share still Concept-cX is the theme of basic design and its car-like sure-footed attitude.

2011 Mitsubishi ASX Review

Suggested an open mouth "Jet Fighter" grille - a nod to Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Ltd. 's F-2 fighter jets and now a characteristic trademark of Mitsubishi Motors almost all road vehicles in Europe (Colt, Lancer and Outlander) - this is a car-like "attitude" was the key to the direction of the Mitsubishi designers: free of any pressure to simulate a heavy marketing SUV to go through in detail (it is not necessary with the Pajero / Montero / Shogun and L200 among ...), were further developed in the Concept-cX vocabulary toward the less polarizing still strong, expressive and finely executed "sports hatch" a good presence and substance.

Retention Concept CX "compact wedge" design concept of the pressure side of the light at the edges, they optimized the overall shape, which is the best use of 14.5 cm longer pitch (2.67 m against 2.525 m) to create a lower profile and more balanced with better integration of the prominent wheel arches. So the roof line running hours to the rear of the car to improve aerodynamic performance (Cd: 0.32) and further emphasizes the dynamic profile.

In front of the Jet Fighter grille looks identical to the Lancer and Outlander. However, it is now intertwined with more clips of substantial research, blend into the hood with a double bulge: this serves two purposes, to promote better pedestrian safety, in spite of a short projection, and also make the visibility the body of the driver, improving maneuverability in the city.

Behind is designed to lower and extend the silhouette, avoiding any sort of chunkiness resulting from a short trip, so that the sharp aerodynamic lip on the bottom of the backlight, thin almond-shaped headlights and a large trapezoidal plate that connects compartment.

Dynamic quality

Inside, the concept of elegance strong sport continues with a clear focus on shape, material and equipment rather than the pursuit of endless fantasy usually SUV-ness.

Pursuant to the outside, Mitsubishi ASX interior reflects a clear sense of the "dynamic quality" expressed through the hooded meter cluster shared with the Outlander, the soft padding around the middle of the dashboard to develop the door trim or silver accents carefully applied on both sides of the audio system or along the door panels.

At the same time, elements such as chrome round of the module around the shift lever, a motorcycle inspired and silver accents on both sides of the console, and meters.

Logically, the textures and materials were chosen to perform the same right key and appearance. Although the interior color scheme is based on a black monotone, the use of contrasting textures and materials are made to generate the necessary momentum.

In this context, particular emphasis was placed on trim areas not affected by the residents. This led to the development of a new type of two-tone upholstery with textured waves for chip contrastive, sporty look.

The same approach has prevailed for the seat upholstery where Mitsubishi designers and their partners in the textile industry has created a new embossed fabric material to add to the overall feeling of quality dynamic sporting activities, adding dramatic black 3D visual sober.

Lancer & Outlander

The last car developed in the MMC of "Project Global" mid-size platform, Mitsubishi ASX aims at blending Lancer cars on the road driving position and attitude Outlander AWC comfort of its intelligent, electronically controlled four-wheel drive.

Share wheelbase of 2.67 m long Outlander, Mitsubishi ASX 34.5cm shorter focuses on the most inferior Outlander structure and basic architecture of its chassis (MacPherson strut front, multilink rear suspension) properly aware of vehicles smaller and lighter.

A significant improvement is the introduction of a mechanism for electric power steering to other lower emissions, also equipped with two tilt and telescope adjustments, it is a first for the current range of Mitsubishi Motors vehicles.

The final factor to green tech strategy MMC, Mitsubishi ASX will also inaugurate a new family of all-aluminum, DOHC 16V 4-cylinder common rail direct injection "low impact" Euro-5 engines, jointly developed by Mitsubishi Motors Corporation and Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Ltd. (MHI), it gives - among others - the technical expertise gained through experience in industrial and marine diesel engines and in gas turbine technologies.

Initially available in 1.8 liter form - first with the 2011 Mitsubishi ASX and later during the second half of 2010 in relation to the Lancer family - the "4N13" all power is derived from the gasoline engine and recent MMC offers innovative technologies, including a new variable geometry turbocharger and features high-efficiency combustion resulting from the use of MMC and MHI own analytical technology.

Highlight this technology is a showcase of the system Mitsubishi MIVEC variable valve timing valve: the first passenger car diesel engines.

Of strategic importance in Europe against high level competitors in a highly competitive, the same performance 1,798 cc "4N13" Diesel Mitsubishi MIVEC engine low impact will be even more support in their environmental mission through adoption - all as standard versions - a complete package of low CO2 ClearTec, including:

In this application, Mitsubishi ASX, also available with the complete package and ClearTec be offered with a 5-speed manual transmission.

Salon style

Discreet, Mitsubishi ASX interior is also a very pleasant living room, though its appearance, functionality, or its features.

Make the best use of its long wheelbase 2.67 m, 5 seats Mitsubishi ASX provides a comprehensive set of utility functions adapted to its compact size and loading needs of its likely potential customers in its 416 L on the angle of the seat back 17 degrees (forward position) (393L at the rear of backrest angle 23 degrees) of the trunk:

2011 Mitsubishi Eclipse Spyder Review

The Mitsubishi Eclipse Spyder 2011 is one of the last of his career. Gone are the days of cheap, front-wheel drive sports coupe from Japan, like the Acura RSX, Honda Prelude and Toyota Celica. Tastes have changed and corporate priorities have changed. Today, there was a resurgence of inexpensive fun cars, but most belong to the hot hatch genre. But for those who laugh a trap stupid and miss the old days of sports coupe, the Eclipse 2011 is a nice relic. It is also one of the few convertibles your price range.

From the moment it was introduced four years ago, the Eclipse coupe and convertible Spyder current differs mainly because of their outrageous style, highlighted by a deeply raked windshield, a beltline tilted forward and a round, curvaceous rear end. A smart key is spoiler GS models transparent background, while the GT can be equipped with a funky two-tone interior, reminiscent of a Creamsicle.

Unfortunately, however, especially when it is desirable ends Eclipse. Its standard four-cylinder will not move the heavy coupe and cabriolet with a semblance of authority and its fuel economy is not particularly impressive. The big V6 found in the GT boasts robust power but overwhelms the front wheels with torque. Eclipse coupe handling is also far from the Chevrolet Cobalt SS and the Honda Civic Si (coupe other relics) or hot hatches such as Mazda Speed ​​3, Mini Cooper S and VW GTI.

Eclipse is nice to look inside, but on closer inspection there are unpleasant stuff. The common characteristics, such as the telescoping steering wheel, rear seat headrests and navigation system is not available, and there is also much less rear-seat space that most of its competitors.

Of the two, the Eclipse Spyder models are more attractive of the two simply because there is not much competition. Those same price (Ford Mustang, Mini Cooper, VW Eos) are radically different types of drop-top. We think they are all worth watching.

What a coupe, as we remember the Good Old Days Mitsubishi Eclipse, version of 2011, but an interesting player in the former shell of himself. There would be difficulty in choosing one rather than the Civic and Cobalt SS is, or a rear-wheel drive Chevrolet Camaro, Ford Mustang and the Hyundai Genesis Coupe. If you care about the price of fuel more efficient and low, Kia Forte Scion tC coupe and based on alternatives as well. Also, do not so quickly dismiss those hot hatches. Times have changed, and affordable sports cars are developed. Eclipse can be a pleasant memory, but it is a relic, though.

body types, levels of output and settings

2011 Mitsubishi Eclipse is available in two body styles: coupe and convertible Spyder. Both people four people are available in Sport GS and GT, while the GS Coupe adds a base plate.

GS is a 18-inch alloy wheels, air conditioning, keyless entry, cruise control, full power accessories, tilt, only the steering wheel, driver lumbar adjustment, 50/50 split rear seat and six speaker audio system with CD player. GS Sport adds xenon headlights, fog lights, sunroof, power heated mirrors, heated leather seats, power driver seat, six way, Bluetooth and a nine speaker Rockford Fosgate audio system with six-disc CD changer, satellite radio, auxiliary audio jack and steering wheel controls. Spyder convertible roof includes a power supply. GT adds standard V6 engine, a larger rear brakes, a larger rear stabilizer bar, large rear spoiler (coupe only) and automatic air-conditioning. There are no meaningful alternatives to the factory, even if the iPod adapter is one of several dealer-installed accessories.

Powertrain & Performance

Every 2011 Mitsubishi Eclipse is a front-wheel drive. The GS models are powered by a 2.4-liter four-cylinder that produces 162 horsepower and 162 pound-feet of torque. GS is a five-speed manual transmission, while the four-speed automatic is optional for the GS and standard on the Sport GS. Estimated fuel economy is 20 mpg city/28 mpg highway cars and 23 mpg one.

The Eclipse GT gets a 3.6-liter V6 with 265 horsepower and 262 lb good-ft of torque. A five-speed automatic transmission is standard. This engine requires premium fuel and its fuel economy is estimated at 16 mpg city/24 mpg highway and 19 mpg combined.

Security

2011-Mitsubishi Eclipse comes standard with four-wheel antilock brakes, stability control and side airbags front seat. Cup characterized by a front airbags and side curtain side airbags Spyder receives more than cover the heads of people. There are no rear headrests. Eclipse Spyder has received the Insurance Institute for best score of the Road Safety "good" in both frontal-offset tests and side impact.

Design and Special Features

Eclipse cabin is both elegant and simple, thanks to a sweeping dashboard and chrome-rimmed gauges attractive with cool blue backlight. Unfortunately, this modern gay is tempered by the use of certain plastic materials of inferior quality and a steering wheel that telescopes. The front seats are sturdy and supportive, but the rear seat upright is no headrest and provides no flexibility (especially with the tailgate inclined cutting). The hatchback design offers to provide some additional equipment, but that makes 50/50-split-folding back.

The Spyder features a soft top convertible with three layers. Losing It is a breeze. Release header latches, press a button and the summit itself fits under the hood fixes in 19 seconds and it goes up just as quickly. Unfortunately, this design severely restricts rearward vision with the hood and limits trunk space to only 5.2 cubic feet.

Driving Impressions

For many drivers, the dynamics driving the 2011 Mitsubishi Eclipse might be a bit of a disappointment. GT V6 produces a lot of power, but to get all the horses on the pavement can often lead to a high dose of skating and torque. Unlike V6, struggling four-cylinder with a heavy Eclipse - less engine acceleration can be described as anemic.

Another point of discord is the great turning radius, which requires much more multi-point being that the other vehicles. The overall management should satisfy most drivers, but those with a taste for performance will probably find inspiration in a number of competitors or sports coupe hatchback. The Spyder will be on a frame a little softer over the bumps that we would like, but not enough to ruin an otherwise enjoyable driving.
