The Mitsubishi ASX VR-e is based on the Foxtron Bria.
Foxtron is a Taiwanese auto brand made up of Yulon (car manufacturer) and Foxconn, the Taiwanese tech company.
It will launch in Australia before the end of 2026.
Mitsubishi’s lineup hasn’t been all that great for a while now. No matter where in the world you go, most of its lineup is typically cheaper crossovers or SUVs and trucks that aren’t all that exciting. The rest of its lineup is often rebodied or rebadged efforts from its corporate partner Nissan/Renault. Some are more thorough, like the latest Mitsubishi Outlander. Others are more low-effort, like the new Eclipse Sportback EV, which is essentially a slightly restyled Nissan Leaf.
But the company's newest EV is more of the latter than the former, though this time it’s got nothing to do with Nissan. This is the Mitsubishi ASX VR-e, named in such a way to pay homage to classic sporty Mitsubishi cars, like the old Galant VR-4, and may even be fun to drive.
