Mitsubishi ASX represents the brand’s move towards on-road crossovers, a move inspired by research showing that buyers of its Out lander big brother cross-shopped D-segment sedans rather than midsized SUV/CUVs. The C-segment ASX will be called the RVR in Japan and the Out lander Sport in the US market. And though the ASX’s front-end is allegedly inspired by the Mitsubishi Heavy Industry F2 fighter, it looks remarkably similar to BMW’s recently-launched C-segment crossover, the X1. Which kind of makes sense, considering the F2 is actually just a modified F-16. Imitation is the most commercially viable form of flattery.
The 2011 Mitsubishi Out lander Sport crossover will be available at Mitsubishi dealerships later this year, and will carry a 2.0-liter 4-cylinder engine instead of a 1.8-liter turbocharged engine found in the European model. The 2.0-liter engine gets an estimated fuel economy of 31 mpg highway, so we can safely assume that city driving will be around 23 mpg. And that is in the same fuel economy rating as the Ford Equinox, which is not bad at all. Option for an all-wheel-drive version will also be offered; unless it comes with a bigger engine, we don’t recommend it. 
No pricing is available yet for this attractive 2011 Out lander Sports crossover, but what we have experienced in the past is that Mitsubishi’s pricing is very competitive. The 2011 Mitsubishi Out lander is not alone in the 2011 sales, it will be up against top contenders like the Honda CR-V, Toyota Highlander, and the new 2011 KIA Sportage.
The base model comes with 16-inch alloys, keyless entry, cloth seats, soft-touch dash and front door surfaces, CD/MP3 player with AUX and USB ports, ABS-assisted disc brakes, four-wheel independent suspension, seven airbags including a knee bag, and an optional panoramic glass roof with mood lighting along the sides. The top model gets 17-inch alloys, a front lip spoiler, intelligent entry with starter button, HID headlights, leather upholstery and a 7-speaker stereo with sub woofer, among other items.
