Welcome to the all new Honda HR-V Vs Mitsubishi ASX comparison for 2017. The Mistubishi ASX in its current shape is probably on it’s last refresh cycle! Like Mitsubishi’s of late aka the Lancer they will keep making it while there is demand as a result you can be sure that it is a decent car or SUV just not a refined as the latest models in this case the Honda HR-V. The HR-V is like not supposed to be like the old Honda’s where they are a little ordinary and lets face it in many countries it’s trading on it’s dominance in F1 racing in the 1980’s and early 1990’s. Of course Honda claim that they’ve got their groove back and the H-RV is supposed to be one of the first models to express that.<\/p>\n

Honda HR-V Vs Mitsubishi ASX\u00a0exterior comparison: The ASX is clearly the older design but it was always a conservative one even when first released. I don’t think anyone would describe this version of the ASX as stylish. It’s something Toyota would have released if they entered the small USV market 10 years ago. The Honda HRV has been around for a few years and it not bad to look at but not exactly stylish. At least it looks better than the donor Jazz in 2016 guise which is a bit odd. The HRV foreshadowed the design of the new Civic which everyone we know likes despite the ‘aggressive’ design. Back the the HR-V Vs ASX comparison – we prefer the Honda only because it is more modern.<\/p>\n

Honda HR-V Vs Mitsubishi ASX interior comparison: The H-RV Interior is pretty good for the price range. It’s got a nice modern looking dash that is different from it’s competitors, with a mix of what we can only call retro stylising touches like the air vents. The seat are comfortable in the front and back and there is surprisingly lots of room for event one and everything thanks to their m’magic seats’ mechanism. Overall it feels comfortable and a nice place to be in. The interior of the ASX is definitely an older place to be in. The design and materials are not the same level as the HRV yet the ASX still feels as sturdy and not a ‘budget’ interior just older. Overall the ASX interior is rather ordinary but it still is a scent place to be in. The HRV is the winner in the interior department easily but the ASX is not that bad either for a much older design.<\/p>\n

Honda HR-V Vs Mitsubishi ASX engines and and technology comparison: The Honda HR-V does have all the latest safety tech as optional or standard dependent on the model grade. The ASX some of the latest safety gear but missing what we regard as essential 2017 onwards and that is emergency auto braking. It is arguable that it reduces the attentiveness required for the driver but at the same time can prevent expensive mistakes. In terms of engines the single petrol version in the HR-V looks decent on paper but combines with a CVT and being heavier for it’s size will blunt performance. The ASX likewise has the same problem but at least it has an optional high torque diesel engine and a advanced AWD system.<\/p>\n

Honda HR-V Vs Mitsubishi ASX drive comparison: The Mitsubishi ASX drives like a high rise Lancer or a Corolla, The ride is probably a little softer but not by that much but the drive can be described as casual, not sporting just a normal passenger car that does not try to be sporty or is sporty to drive. If you like normal and safe this is the impression is gives at all times. Most of all it’s not noisy when just driving around but the diesel engine is noticeable when most of the time but that is quite normal for many diesels. Higher revs has punch that other small SUV don’t have. \u00a0The class leading feature of a selectable AWD system rather the the dubious on demand systems on small SUVs also help the score.<\/p>\n

The winner of the Honda HR-V Vs Mitsubishi ASX comparison is the draw. The reason is that the ASX has the diesel and AWD system, although optional. The HR-V \u00a0has the latest safety systems and feels more expensive although it isn’t. We wouldn’t get any other ASX except for the diesel due to performance but the refinement levels will annoy in the long run? We’d be happy with any of the HR-V model grades but performance may grate over the long term.<\/p>\n
