Let’s be real: it’s not just "inspired" by the Renault Captur—it’s essentially a copy-paste job. Thanks to the Renault-Nissan-Mitsubishi Alliance, the new ASX has swapped its rugged Japanese roots for a full-on French makeover. 🇫🇷➡️🇯🇵

It’s a strategic move to keep Mitsubishi alive in the European market without the massive R&D costs of building a new car from scratch. It’s smart business, but for long-time ASX fans who liked its "old-school" simplicity, this might feel like a bit of an identity crisis.

Is this "badge engineering" at its most blatant, or just a clever way to bring better tech and efficiency to the ASX name?

Mitsubishi just pulled the silk off the "new" 2023 ASX, and if you’re getting a massive sense of déjà vu, you’re not alone.

It’s riding on the CMF-B platform, meaning you get Renault’s hybrid and plug-in hybrid powertrains.
