New Mitsubishi XPANDER on the way

The updated Mitsubishi XPANDER 7-seater crossover MPV will soon be in showrooms as the first units are now coming off the assembly line at HICOM Automotive Manufacturers (Malaysia) in Pekan, Pahang.

The impending launch of the new XPANDER, which has ascended to the position of No.1 non-national MPV since being launched in 2020, was announced earlier and has an estimated priced of RM115,000 (which will be for a limited period).

The first 500 customers who book and register the new XPANDER via the Mitsubishi Online Showroom will also receive a Naturehike Camping Wagon worth RM400.

Cosmetic changes on the model give a more robust and dynamic look, while the rear has a new design for the lighting units with a horizontally styled rear spoiler and reprofiled bumper.

Some of the strong points of the XPANDER include ground clearance of 225 mm (useful for flooded roads) and interior storage capacity up to 837 litres. The MPV also comes with a standard rear-facing video recorder and has an electric parking brake.

It is powered by a 1.5-litre all-aluminium MIVEC 16-valve engine with an output of 105 ps/141 Nm, and has a torque-converter 4-speed automatic transmission. The warranty is 5 years long with no limit on mileage so owners will enjoy the maximum period of coverage. In any case, Mitsubishi vehicles are known to be reliable and durable so it is added peace of mind.

1.5-litre MIVEC engine and CVT form the drivetrain of the XPANDER.

“The XPANDER with its enhanced SUV-styling and upgraded features, promises a more complete and comprehensive experience. The XPANDER seamlessly blends stylish interior and exterior design with practical, sophisticated utility equipment, enriching the customers experience as the ideal family car,” said Shinya Ikeda, CEO of Mitsubishi Motors Malaysia.
