Comparison: width Mitsubishi ASX vs. competitors 2025

The first generation of the Mitsubishi ASX, running from 2010 to 2021, maintained a consistent width of 1770 mm across its numerous facelifts and updates. In 2023, Mitsubishi unveiled the second generation, which saw a slight increase in width to 1797 mm. Although the difference of 27 mm might seem trivial, in the world of SUVs, these modest adjustments can mean the world of difference to interior space and road presence. It’s no wonder that the trunk size with the rear seats folded also grew significantly from 1206 mm in the first generation to 1275 mm in the current lineup.

Let’s take a quick pit stop and explore Mitsubishi's broader line-up. The ASX, in its newfound width of 1797 mm, finds itself firmly in the middle. The plucky Mitsubishi Space Star is quite diminutive at 1665 mm wide, making it a perfect choice for city dwellers but not for those who crave a bit more elbow room. If you need more width but still want to stay within the Mitsubishi family, you can look at the Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross, which stretches out to a slightly more dominating 1805 mm. The truly width-conscious might be intrigued by the Mitsubishi Colt, which even edges out the ASX at 1798 mm.

The Mitsubishi ASX faces some stiff competition. In the grand scheme of compact SUVs, the ASX's 1797 mm width often places it in the lower-middle tier. For instance, it’s narrower than the Renault Arkana at 1802 mm and significantly slimmer compared to the wide-bodied Suzuki Across at 1855 mm. Other noteworthy mentions include the Renault Scénic, slighter at 1785 mm, and the Toyota Yaris Cross, which is positively svelte at 1765 mm. To top it all off, there are heftier rivals like the CUPRA Formentor, boasting a width of 1839 mm. All these competitors also bring their own unique length and wheelbase dimensions into the mix, influencing the overall vehicle dynamics. For example, the Renault Arkana with a length of 4568 mm and a wheelbase of 2720 mm, offers a different driving experience compared to the more compact Toyota Yaris Cross, which measures 4180 mm in length and has a 2560 mm wheelbase.
