Mitsubishi has officially introduced the Xforce for the Philippine market — marking the local arm’s re-entry in the crossover category since the ASX.
The said model, which is expected to shake the segment that it belongs to, was first seen in the country in the form of the XFC Concept last year.

The all-new Mitsubishi Xforce measures 4,390 millimeters (mm) long; 1,810 mm wide; 1,660 mm tall with a 2,650-wheelbase and 222-millimeter ground clearance.
Donning the Silky and Solid design concept, the exterior features of the aforementioned small sport utility vehicle (SUV) include an improved Dynamic Shield fascia complemented by the T-shaped headlamps and a distinct front grille.
Its rear comes with a hexaguard horizon motif and carries the same lighting pattern in the front for its taillamps.

It has a three-spoke multi-function leather steering wheel, an eight-inch colored LCD digital instrument cluster, and a 12.3-inch infotainment system with the eight speaker Dynamic Sound Yamaha Premium setup and Speed Compensated Volume and equalizer functions.

Powering the vehicle is the 4A91 1.5-liter double overhead cam gasoline mill with Mitsubishi Innovative Valve timing Electronic Control system that is seen under its MPV sibling’s mill. However, instead of a four-speed automatic, the SUV’s engine is matched with a continuous variable transmission.
The powertrain combination offers a peak output of 103 horses and 141 Newton-meters of torque. Additionally, the vehicle comes with four drive modes: Wet (first introduced by Mitsubishi), Road, Gravel, and Mud.
