This is Kia Stonic Vs Mitsubishi ASX comparison for 2021. One of the most appropriate comparisons in the small SUV class is the Stonic Vs ASX. The ASX has been a very popular model for Mitsubishi, as a result this model is over 10 years old and has had at least four ‘facelifts’ in that time. The ASX popular is due to being one of the OG small SUVs and that it was great value for money. Now that the Kia Sonic is available which targets the same buyers, is the Mitsubishi ASX still worth buying?<\/p>\n

Kia Stonic Vs Mitsubishi ASX exterior comparison: We have always liked the latest refreshed styling of the ASX. It fits right into the current styling direction of the brand and nothing truly awkward. Sure the side and rear are essentially the same as the 10 year old design but there are enough tweaks. The ASX is also bigger than the Stonic if that is important consideration.\u00a0 In comparison the Kia Stonic styling is quite derivative – the rear looks like a Renault but the overall profile is a Mercedes A class hatch on the basic body work of the Kia Rio. It does work but only in to range trim does it look anything but an entry level model.<\/p>\n

Kia Stonic Vs Mitsubishi ASX interior comparison: Despite it’s age the ASX interior still looks OK and it is decent place to be in although ‘old school’. Mitsubishi knew this and kept what is a very generic interior design. That said we expect that if this model continues being popular an interior redesign will be the next big upgrade. In comparison the Kia Stonic is a also a decent place to be in although despite the latest but generic interior design the materials are hard throughout. Surely some extra soft padding of high quality trim pieces doesn’t cost that much more?<\/p>\n

Kia Stonic Vs Mitsubishi ASX engine and technology comparison: The ASX does not have a fancy engine, drive train but it does have fancy looking but largely pointless gadgets like full length sunroof and paddle shifters. Safety systems are class average with auto brakes at low speed being a feature. The larger engine is known for durability but not sparkling performance but perfectly suitable for suburban commutes. In comparison the Kia Stonic has similarly non turbo base engine but with an optional turbo 3 cylinder. The gadget list is pretty bare compared to the ASX.<\/p>\n

Kia Stonic Vs Mitsubishi ASX drive report : We haven’t driven an ASX for years but from memory it was best described as good. You have to remember the ASX or Stonic are not fast but perfectly adequate for suburban and city commuting,. Even interstate travels if you can actually do it – is probably perfectly suitable but clearly not going to be a lounge like experience. They both provide a comfortable and\u00a0 climate controlled way to get to and from where you are going without any excitement bar encounters the other idiots on the road and in that regard the ASX has many more features to help with that.<\/p>\n

The conclusion and winner of the Kia Stonic Vs Mitsubishi ASX comparison is the ASX. The ASX is still a great package in the entry level small SUV class. The ASX doesn’t need a GT or sports appearance package to sell what is pretty basic specifications because it looks good. Note that the seeming price crop on the ASX is due to the deletion of the diesel engine and AWD models. The Stonic is good choice if you want something different from the main choices, the CX-3, HRV or ASX. However the more we analysed, in the end it is only the GT Line appearance package on the top ranger that sells the Stonic and it’s still short of equipment.<\/p>\n
