Porsche has one. Mercedes-Benz has one. Even Mazda and GM Australia’s Holden have one. And now Mitsubishi gets its own Black edition model as well – at least for the UK market.
The ASX Black Edition is Mitsubishi’s newest offering in Britain, with the crossover being available for order now.
The black designation in the special edition ASX’s name is justified on the outside by the satin black styling kit which includes black 17-inch alloy wheels, roof, spoiler, mirrors, grille and fog lamp bezels, and on the inside, by a black leather kit featuring carbon fibre inserts.
Standard equipment features include a Kenwood satellite navigation system, a parking camera, Auto Stop & Go and low rolling resistance tyres.
The Black Edition of the ASX is available in 6 exterior colors including, Kingfisher Blue (metallic), Polar White (solid), Cool Silver (metallic), Amethyst Black (pearlescent), Atlantic Grey (metallic) and Orient Red (metallic).
Buyers can choose between two engines, a 1.6-liter gasoline unit with 115bhp linked to a 5sp manual gearbox, or a 1.8-liter turbodiesel with 147bhp matched to a 6-speed manual transmission, and either FWD or AWD.
Mitsubishi said that the ASX Black will carry a £1,000 premium above the current ASX4 pricing.
