All-New Mitsubishi ASX VR-e BEV – everything you need to know

ASX VR-e – Mitsubishi Motors Australia Limited (MMAL) is proud to introduce the fully electric ASX VR-e to its vehicle lineup in Q4, 2026.

The Mitsubishi ASX VR-e represents a new era of electrification within the Mitsubishi Motors range in Australia, leveraging the brand’s strong partnership with Foxtron Vehicle Technologies Co. Ltd (Foxtron) to deliver a sophisticated, tech-driven battery electric vehicle (BEV) to the market.

This new model carries the ‘ASX’ (Active Sports Crossover) name – one that has a long-established presence on Australian roads as a popular compact SUV. The ‘VR-e’ designation is a nod to the legendary Galant VR-4, one of Mitsubishi Motors’ iconic high-performance sports sedans.

ASX VR-e captures the essence of its namesake through its sporty performance and responsive handling – all made possible through extensive local testing and tuning by Mitsubishi Motors global and regional teams.

Underpinned by a sleek, Pininfarina-designed vehicle platform. It exhibits signature Mitsubishi styling elements through the front and rear fascia, wheels and interior trim.

ASX VR-e’s exterior design incorporates several key features to achieve optimal aerodynamic efficiency. Including a distinctive S-Duct to channel airflow from the centre of the front bumper over the hood surface. And active grille shutters to reduce drag according to driving conditions.

The All-New vehicle  will debut in Australia under four model variants: LS, ASPIRE, EXCEED and GSR.

“This marks a significant milestone in our refreshed Mitsubishi range as the first BEV since the i-MiEV . Australia’s first mass-produced electric vehicle,” said MMAL CEO, Shunichi Kihara.

“The new Mitsubishi continues this path of innovation. With an immersive infotainment system, bold design and excellent electric driving performance.

“It joins an evolving multi-powertrain vehicle lineup designed and tuned with Australian lifestyles in mind. As part of our Momentum 2030 plan – which will see the electrification of new models in the years to come.”
