Mitsubishi has unveiled the ASX VR-e electric crossover, developed in partnership with Foxconn and based on the Foxtron Bria platform. The vehicle features a 57.7 kWh lithium-ion battery. Charging capabilities include 134 kW for DC and 6.6 kW for AC. The design was created by the Italian studio Pininfarina.
The entry-level LS, Aspire, and Exceed trims feature a single rear-mounted motor with 229 hp, achieving 0-100 km/h in 6.8 seconds. The top-tier GSR model adds a front motor for all-wheel drive, delivering 459 hp and 700 Nm of torque, with a 0-100 km/h time of 3.9 seconds. The GSR trim includes selectable Eco, Comfort, and Sport driving modes.
The interior includes a 15.6-inch infotainment screen and a 9.2-inch digital instrument cluster. Features like surround-view cameras, automated parking, and ambient lighting are standard. Higher trims offer a panoramic roof, power tailgate, and a 12-speaker audio system. Australia will be the first market for the model, with pricing expected later this year.
The standard warranty covers five years or 100,000 km, extendable to ten years or 200,000 km with authorized dealer maintenance. A separate warranty for the traction battery lasts for eight years or 160,000 km. The manufacturer has not yet disclosed the vehicle's range or energy consumption figures.
