The Mitsubishi ASX is a small crossover that’s a lynchpin in the company’s heavily SUV-biased range, but what does the letters in its name stand for?
According to Mitsubishi, the letters ASX stand for Active Sports, with X signifying the car’s status as a crossover vehicle.
The ASX is sold in Japan as the RVR, a nameplate that it shares with earlier small people mover vehicles. In North America and Indonesia, the ASX is known as the Outlander Sport, capitalising on the name of the company’s larger Outlander SUV.
