Mitsubishi ASX- The ES vs LS model

Mitsubishi ASX

The ES vs LS model

The Mitsubishi ASX was first launched in South Africa in 2011 and has been doing quite well as the most successful model within the Mitsubishi line-up. Recently, Mitsubishi has introduced newer models to join the ASX range, a more affordable option for Mitsubishi fans which is sure to continue the success of the ASX. 

The new ASX LS & ES models are here and as with all models, there are differences between each of them which we will discuss here. 

The new ASX models both look amazing and there are not many differences between them in terms of the exterior. However, you will be able to tell the difference between each model just by looking at it. For instance, the ASX LS has 18” wheels, whereas the ES does not and instead, has 16” wheels. There is a difference of 10mm ground clearance between each vehicle, but it’s ok if you don’t easily notice that one. 

One of the major differences is the panoramic glass roof, which is only available in the LS models and compensates for the difference in price between each model. 

Also, the LS model has the rear parking sensors with the rearview camera whilst the ES model, unfortunately, does not. 

Other major differences are all in the interior. The LS model offers you 7 airbags, leather seats, a fully automatic air-conditioner, and Apple CarPlay/Android Auto. Whilst the ES model offers you 3 airbags and fabric seats, however, the Apple CarPlay/ Android auto function is an optional extra you could get for your ASX ES model. 

Here’s a list of features that you will find in both models:

• Keyless operation system
• ISOFIX child seat anchors
• Multi-information display 
• Bluetooth with hands-free control
• Cruise control
• LED headlamps & foglamps
• Auto rain-sensing wipers
• Heated front seats
• 60/40 rear split seats

You’ll also be glad to know that the engine is the same!  

• A 2.0l engine with 5-speed in the manual and 6-speed in the automatic option
•  63l fuel tank
• Even the average fuel consumption is the same (7.5l/100km in the manual and 7.9l/100km in the automatic)!
