2020 Mitsubishi ASX (GA) Mud Flap Application Guide
Mitsubishi ASX owners seeking aftermarket mud flap protection will find this set precision-engineered for the 2020 model year of the first-generation GA-platform compact crossover. Sold under three nameplates globally: ASX in Europe, Australia, and most markets; RVR in Japan, Canada, and South Korea; and Outlander Sport in the United States, Argentina, Brazil, and Indonesia. The ASX shares identical wheel arch tooling across all nameplates, making one mud flap mold universally compatible.
Vehicle Background
The Mitsubishi ASX (Active Sports Crossover) debuted in early 2010 on the Mitsubishi GS platform, shared with the Lancer, Outlander, and Eclipse Cross. Over 1.32 million units have been produced across assembly plants in Japan (Okazaki, later Mizushima), China (GMMC Changsha), the United States (Normal, Illinois; through 2015), Indonesia, Malaysia, and Brazil. The 2020 model year represents the third major facelift, introducing Mitsubishi's "Dynamic Shield" front-end design language with LED headlamps and an 8-inch touchscreen infotainment system.

Trim Level Compatibility (All 2020 ASX GA)
Trim | Market | Bumper Style | Wheel Arch Fitment |
GS | Australia, Middle East | Standard | ✅ Identical across all trims |
ES | Australia, Europe | Standard | ✅ Identical across all trims |
ES Street Accessory Pack | Australia | Standard + body kit accents | ✅ Wheel arch unchanged |

LS | Australia | Standard | ✅ Identical across all trims |

Key compatibility note: Front and rear bumper designs vary across ASX trim levels (standard vs. sport vs. chrome-accented), but wheel arch contours are shared across all GA-platform variants. Mud guards mount directly to wheel arch inner lips, not to bumper fascias. This makes them universally compatible with every 2020 ASX trim listed above.
Rebadge Market Coverage
The Mitsubishi ASX is one of the most widely rebadged compact crossovers in automotive history. Because the underlying body tooling is identical across all nameplates, these mud flaps physically fit every rebadge variant sharing the GA wheel arch profile:
Nameplate | Markets | 2020 Status | Mud Flap Fitment |
Mitsubishi ASX | Europe, Australia, China, Southeast Asia, Africa, Middle East, Latin America (select) | Active | ✅ Primary target |
Mitsubishi RVR | Japan, Canada, South Korea | Active | ✅ Identical body tooling |
Mitsubishi Outlander Sport | United States, Argentina, Brazil, Indonesia, Puerto Rico | Active | ✅ Identical body tooling |
Peugeot 4008 (2012-2017) | Europe (discontinued) | Historical only | ✅ Same GA wheel arch; fitment confirmed for 2012-2017 models |
Citroen C4 Aircross (2012-2017) | Europe (discontinued) | Historical only | ✅ Same GA wheel arch; fitment confirmed for 2012-2017 models |
The Mitsubishi GS platform is shared with the following vehicles. Despite common architecture, wheel arch geometries differ:
❌ Mitsubishi Lancer (9th Gen): sedan body, different wheel arch dimensions
❌ Mitsubishi Outlander (3rd Gen): larger SUV body, different wheel arch tooling
❌ Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross: coupe-SUV body, different wheel arch dimensions

Compatibility Across 1st Gen Facelifts
The 2020 ASX (GA) is the third facelift of the first-generation model, launched in 2010. Wheel arch tooling has remained stable across all three facelift generations:
Facelift | Model Years | Key Exterior Changes | Wheel Arch Same? |
1st Facelift | 2013-2015 | Revised front bumper, grille, LED DRLs introduced | ✅ No wheel arch retooling |
2nd Facelift | 2016-2018 | New grille, front bumper, rear bumper with skid plate | ✅ No wheel arch retooling |
3rd Facelift (Dynamic Shield) | 2019-Present | All-new front fascia, LED headlamps, new rear bumper, larger touchscreen | ✅ No wheel arch retooling |
Recommendation: These mud flaps are physically compatible with 2013-2025 ASX/RVR/Outlander Sport GA-platform models. The 2020 fitment is confirmed; earlier and later years share the same wheel arch tooling. Confirm against non-2020 model years before large-volume cross-year orders.
