What are AX and MX?

These two are the trim levels with the MX being the more affordable variant along with the AX being the better-equipped trim.

Move to the AX5 and you get extra features like a panoramic sunroof, 17-inch alloys, LED lamps, curtain airbags and cornering lamps.  

Finally, the AX7, gets ADAS autonomous features, air purifier, dual-zone climate control, side airbags, 6-way power adjusted driver’s seat with memory, leather steering and gear lever, etc.

We think the AX5 petrol/diesel with both MT and At are good buys in terms of value but of course the fully loaded AX7 still seems the best overall if budget permitting.
