On Monday, 31-July 2023, Mitsubishi Motors unveiled its newest SUV that would compete against the likes of the Honda HR-V and Proton X50 in the competitive compact SUV segment. While the actual name of the successor to the ASX will only be revealed at next week’s Gaikindo Indonesia International Auto Show (GIIAS), documents from the Indonesian tax office showed that there might be two variants offered in the archipelago. Based on the latest Motor Vehicles Sales Value (Nilai Jual Kenderaan Bermot
