Engine and Performance Overview
The Mitsubishi ASX offers a range of engines including petrol, hybrid, and mild hybrid options. The available power outputs range from 91 HP in entry-level variants to as much as 158 HP for the more powerful variants, paired with either a manual gearbox or an automatic transmission. With 0-100 km/h acceleration times ranging from 8.5 seconds to over 14 seconds, performance varies significantly based on the chosen engine. The ASX boasts a top speed of up to 180 km/h and offers a maximum torque of 270 Nm with a curb weight between 1296 kg and 1501 kg depending on the variant.
On the other hand, the Toyota Yaris Cross is exclusively equipped with a full hybrid system generating up to 130 HP. This SUV reaches 0-100 km/h in a respectable 10.7 seconds, equipped with a CVT automatic transmission. It is lighter than its rival, with curb weights ranging from 1180 kg to 1290 kg, contributing to its nimbleness on the road. With a maximum speed of 170 km/h, the Yaris Cross may not be the fastest contender, but its efficiency and innovation make it an impressive option.
