5 stars for the Mitsubishi ASX

Mitsubishi's compact crossover, the ASX, was released last year and now less than a year on it has been awarded with 5 stars in the Euro NCAP crash test results. Mitsubishi is very proud of this achievement as the ASX contains a lot safety and technological advancements for the Japanese car manufacturer. The Mitsubishi ASX scored highly in Adult occupant safety achieving 86%, child occupant safety was slightly lower at 78%, the pedestrian safety score was an impressive 60% and accident prevention systems achieved 71%. The ASX consists of many safety features including; Shape optimisation of the octagonal-section straight front side members for better energy absorption. "Triple-leg" bearing structure linking the rear end of the front side member with the dash cross centre and lower members to efficiently disperse frontal impact energy. Front section of the side members featuring a crush box structure that absorbs impact energy to prevent its transmission to the full length of the member in low-speed impacts. This minimises damage to the body as a whole and reduces repair costs. Reinforced girdle body construction - in which side member reinforcements are welded together. Highly effective in absorbing crash energy in frontal, rear and side impacts. Use of high-tensile steel reduces weight and increases stiffness. The 60% pedestrian safety achievement was possible due to a number of design and build features including; A bonnet design featuring a double bulge (creating a crushable zone for pedestrians) An open section construction of the windshield support Plastic front wings Energy absorbing front bumper (leg injury mitigation) Mitsubishi London tell us that since its introduction over 22,000 customers have been won over by the looks, practicality and safety features of the Mitsubishi ASX.The 60% pedestrian safety achievement was possible due to a number of design and build features including;
