The popular compact ASX SUV offers plenty of standard equipment straight out of the box, two engine/transmission options of diesel or petrol, and manual or CVT auto, in 2x4 or 4x4 configurations. The fact that it's closely related to the Lancer is reflected in its sedan like ride and handling, with equivalent safety levels. There are seven airbags, including one for the driver's knees and all the usual electronic aids for stability, traction and braking. The 110kW/300Nm, 5.8L/100km 1.6-litre turbodiesel is the pick of the bunch, not only because of its efficiency, but the abundant amount of torque it produces.
