The vehicle will be available in one level of specification with two engine choices, a 1.6 petrol and 1.8 diesel. Power outputs are respectively 117/150hp, and the car is rated for CO2 tax bands B and C.
The brand new diesel features Mitsubishi's variable valve timing system, the first time such technology has been used in a diesel passenger car, according to the company.
The safety systems of the ASX have been designed to achieve a 5-star ENCAP rating, and include driver's knee protection in its seven airbags complement.
Mitsubishi Ireland expects to sell 500 units of the ASX in 2011.
The ASX prices are €23,675 for the petrol car and €25,550 for the diesel.
The company will also be offering the new diesel in its Lancer compact hatch and saloon next month, where it will be rated as a Band B car.
A new Outlander will come on stream in November with a 2.2 diesel engine sourced from Mitsubishi's global cooperation with Peugeot-Citroen.
