Mitsubishi has rushed out a limited-edition model based on the entry-level ES model in the ASX range, just weeks after the mainstream model launched in Australia.

Inside, the ASX Black Edition is equipped with aluminium pedals, carbon-fibre centre fascia trim, 'leatherette' seat bolsters, micro-suede seat inserts and red stitching for the steering wheel rim/gear knob/handbrake lever. The specification is completed with rear parking sensors and keyless starting.
