2026 Mitsubishi ASX engine details revealed ahead of launch
With the next-generation Mitsubishi ASX is winding its way through the government approval process, we now know what will power the restyled Renault Captur. Details gleaned from a government website reveal the new Renault-built ASX will be available with just one drivetrain option: a 1.3-litre turbocharged four-cylinder petrol engine making 113kW at 5500rpm mated to a seven-speed automated dual-clutch transmission driving the front wheels. It seems as though the new ASX uses the same drivetrain that was available in the pre-facelift Renault Captur. In the European Captur/ASX range, the same engine is sold with a 12V mild-hybrid system, and is rated at 116kW. CarExpert can save you thousands on a new car. Click here to get a great deal. This means the new ASX will miss out, at least initially, on the wide variety of drivetrains available in Europe. These include a clutch of less powerful petrol models, and a 119kW hybrid. In Australia, the second-generation ASX will be launched with three trim levels: LS, Aspire, and Exceed. The base LS rides on 17-inch alloy wheels, while the Aspire and Exceed have larger 18-inch rims. Other specifications for the ASX have yet to be revealed or discovered. In Europe the ASX/Captur is available with a 10.25-inch digital instrument cluster, and a new 10.4-inch portrait-oriented touchscreen infotainment system, which runs Google's automotive operating system, and supports both wired and wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Thanks to Australian Design Rule 98/00, which mandates specific technical requirements for autonomous emergency braking systems, Mitsubishi was forced axe the first-generation ASX. Launched in 2010, the ASX has garnered strong sales thanks to its value-for-money price. Its replacement is basically a lightly restyled version of the facelifted second-generation Renault Captur. Visually the differences between the two cars are limited to different grille, bumper treatments, and, of course, badging. The new ASX will be built by Renault in Valladolid, Spain alongside the Captur. Thanks to its European roots, the new model will lose its pricing trump card. While the outgoing ASX was priced from $24,490 to $35,240 before on-road costs, the pre-facelift Renault Captur retailed for $33,000 to $39,500 before on-roads. It will be interesting to see how well the new ASX sells, not only in relation to the old model, but also compared to the Captur, which is due to return to the Australian market later this year. The Captur has always been small player on the Australian scene, but the Mitsubishi brand is much better known Down Under and the company has a much more extensive dealer network. Mitsubishi is undoubtedly hoping it will be more successful than the last rebadged Renault it sold in Australia: the Renault Trafic -based Express, which debuted in 2020, and was axed by 2022. Aside from the Captur-based ASX, Mitsubishi also sells the Clio-based Colt and Symbioz-based Grandis in Europe.

Jeep Grand Cherokee PHEV price slashed by over $30,000 in runout sale
Jeep still has examples of its flagship Grand Cherokee in Australia, and it's offering major discounts to clear stock of the discontinued large SUV. The Jeep Grand Cherokee Summit Reserve 4xe plug-in hybrid (PHEV) is now being offered for $77,760 before on-roads, which is $33,090 less than its previous list price of $110,850 plus on-roads. There are 90 units remaining. For context, Jeep delivered 22 examples of the Grand Cherokee Summit Reserve 4xe from January to the end of July this year. Sharp runout deals across the discontinued large SUV range have helped increase sales. To the end of July, total Grand Cherokee sales are up 35.5 per cent year-to-date to 554 units, making it Jeep's best seller by some margin. CarExpert can save you thousands on a new Jeep Grand Cherokee. Click here to get a great deal. The flagship Grand Cherokee Summit Reserve 4xe was introduced here in 2023 with a price tag of $128,950 before on-roads before Jeep announced range-wide price cuts in May 2024. That makes its new price 40 per cent lower than its launch price. The Summit Reserve 4xe was the only WL Grand Cherokee offered here with the turbocharged 2.0-litre four-cylinder PHEV powertrain, which was exclusive globally to the shorter, five-seat body style. It features a 17.3kWh battery and a claimed 52km of electric-only driving range under the more lenient NEDC cycle, as well as fuel consumption of 3.2L/100km and total system outputs of 280kW of power and 637Nm of torque. Jeep introduced the current WL series Grand Cherokee in Australia in 2022, arriving first in long-wheelbase, seven-seat L guise. However, the lack of a diesel didn't endear the large SUV to buyers and while it gained a PHEV option there was no longer a V8 option in Australia, even though one remained on sale in North America. Australian Grand Cherokee sales slumped, leading Jeep to slash prices by more than 20 per cent on some models in 2024. Jeep Australia subsequently pulled the plug on the Grand Cherokee in March 2025, before announcing savings in May of upwards of $22,000 on the base five-seat Limited as it runs out existing stock. A facelifted Grand Cherokee has been teased in the US, but won't be offered here.
