Mitsubishi PH to launch new Xpander in May, reservations now open

Mitsubishi Motors Philippines Corporation (MMPC) announced that it will introduce the new Xpander in May.

The revelation was made after the company said that it will open the reservations for the seven-seater multi-purpose vehicle MPV today.

First introduced in 2018, the Xpander nameplate has steadily become the best-selling model for the Japanese automaker in the country. Last year, it accounted for 54.4 percent share of the market, flexing its dominance further in the category.

“Came as no surprise to us that the Xpander helped MMPC deliver a strong retail performance. It checks all the boxes when it comes to the qualities that our customers look and yearn for in an MPV. Aside from local recognition, it continuously garners awards from different parts of the world which is a testament to how outstanding it really is,” MMPC President and Chief Executive Officer Takeshi Hara said.

“These were part of the inspiration for the newest Xpander, which will actually be already offered in advance to our Filipino customers. But it doesn’t just end there, we also have a special pre-selling treat in store before the month ends,” he added.

The new Mitsubishi Xpander, which was first seen in Indonesia, is sporting the following:

• Refreshed exterior: The new vehicle wears the new signature T-shape head and tail lamps, redesigned horizontal front bumper, larger 17-inch wheels and side sills;
• Refined interior quality: The model adopted the brand’s design identity of horizontal axis in the dashboard, soft padding accents, and seven-inch display with Apple Carplay and Android Auto connectivity;
• Enhanced utility and drivability: The new Mitsubishi Xpander now comes with high performance valves in the front and rear suspension while keeping its best-in class ground clearance of 225mm.

The new Mitsubishi Xpander will be offered in five colors, including the newest Blade Silver Metallic, and will be priced as follows:

MODEL	SRP
Xpander GLX 1.5 2WD M/T	P1,030,000
Xpander GLX 1.5G 2WD A/T	P1,090,000

In November 2021, the local arm of Mitsubishi introduced the Xpander Black Series, which was priced at P1.138 million.
