Front view – The new ASX brings an evolution in MMC’s DYNAMIC SHIELD
front design concept. The bumper embraces the central protective shape from
both sides and the squared horizontal and vertical line treatment of the grille
and the skid plate under the bumper expresses strength and toughness. The new
styling makes the bonnet deeper, adding to the presence projected by the front
end. And the distinctive LED lighting layout, which locates the indicators and
fog lamps at the ends of the bumper, stamps a Mitsubishi brand look on the
front end.

in a sharp-looking design that stretches across the width of the car and
accentuates the wide stance. The skid plate styling of the underside of the
bumper projects a look of strength.
