Safety comes first
After a successful market introduction in Europe, the Mitsubishi ASX receives top Euro NCAP crash test results proving the excellence of its engineering, a 5-Star achievement that will add to Mitsubishi ASX’ many virtues.
The Mitsubishi ASX in Bristol comes with a comprehensive safety package, such as:
• Shape optimisation of the octagonal-section straight front side members for better energy absorption
• ‘Triple-leg’ bearing structure linking the rear end of the front side member with the dash cross center and lower members to efficiently disperse frontal impact energy
• Front section of the side members featuring a crush box structure that absorbs impact energy to prevent its transmission to the full length of the member in low-speed impacts. This minimises damage to the body as a whole and reduces repair costs
• Reinforced girdle body construction – in which side member reinforcements are welded together. Highly effective in absorbing crash energy in frontal, rear and side impacts
• Use of high-tensile steel (see above) reduces weight and increases stiffness
The Mitsubishi ASX also offers a full palette of active & passive safety devices, including:
• Active Stability Control
• Traction Control
• Hill Start Assist system
• ABS
• Electronic Brake Distribution
• Brake Assist
• Emergency Stop signal System
• Up to 7 airbags (incl. driver knee airbag) depending on market and version
All these measures complement Mitsubishi Motors’ proprietary RISE, which is meant to integrate and interconnect structural elements for an active protection of the passengers during an accident.
