The '''First Generation Mitsubishi ASX''' (short for Active Sports Crossover) was released on the Australian market in July 2010 as a model between the [[Seventh Generation Lancer|Lancer]] and the [[Second Generation Outlander|Outlander]]. Based on the same platform as the Lancer and Outlander, the ASX uses the same brakes and 4WD system, similar suspension, many other components of the Outlander. The outcome was a hit for Mitsubishi with the ASX being praised as being just the right size, inexpensive to maintain and dependable.

Mitsubishi previewed the design of the ASX at the Frankfurt Motor Show in July 2007 and the Tokyo Motor Show in September 2007 as the Concept-cX prototype. The Concept showed Mitsubishi's intent to return to building smaller, fuel efficient vehicles.

In the United States, Argentina, Brazil and Indonesia the ASX was known as the Outlander Sport.

The First Generation ASX was sold in Australia for almost 15 years, with only minor facelifts along the way but the introduction of [[ADR 98/00]] requiring Autonomous Emergency Braking (AEB) systems with car-to-car features (to avoid rear end crashes) and capable of detecting pedestrians and cyclists. Mitsubishi couldn't justify re-egineering the GS Platform to support the new compliance requirements.
