Price Breakdown
The Mitsubishi ASX starts from $37,740 before on-road costs, while the Suzuki Jimny opens at $33,150 (our estimated RRP; the brand lists drive-away prices only). Both land at the same RRP, so on-road costs and dealer deals become the real differentiator.
Once you factor in stamp duty, registration, CTP insurance, and dealer delivery, expect to add roughly 8-12% on top of the RRP depending on your state. That puts estimated driveaway prices in the ballpark of $41,514 and $36,465 respectively.
