The 2001 Mitsubishi ASX Concept, short for Active Sports Crossover, made its debut at the North American International Auto Show. This concept vehicle exemplified Mitsubishi's response to the prevailing trend in the automotive industry for XUVs (crossover utility vehicles). The ASX aimed to combine the all-season and off-road capabilities associated with high ground clearance and four-wheel drive while maintaining a more compact size and delivering car-like levels of emissions and fuel efficiency.
