Mitsubishi Xpander

The 2025 Mitsubishi Xpander’s cabin upholstery varies according to the model. It gets either fabric or leather-wrapped seats. The entry-level models get well-cushioned, high-quality woven fabric upholstery. Higher trims gets stitched faux-leather seats. The door panels and armrests get padded surfaces. The dashboard is a balance of plastics with textured finishes and soft-touch elements. It’s dominated by a 7.0-inch touchscreen infotainment unit connected to a four-speaker or six-speaker audio system. The interface is intuitive, though it could be more responsive compared to rivals. The infotainment unit is framed within gloss black panels, with surrounding physical buttons and knobs. The instrument cluster features a semi-digital layout. It includes two analogue dials for the speedometer and tachometer that flank a multi-information display (MID) in the centre. It displays essential driving information like trip data, fuel economy, and gear position. The fonts are clean and easy to read. The white backlight enhances night visibility. The tilt-adjustable and telescopic steering wheel is leather-wrapped and gets controls for phone, audio, and cruise control.

The Mitsubishi Xpander is one of the most stylishly-designed MPV, though looks can be subjective. A lot of people might find the design to be overdone, especially in the front end. However, unconventional placement of the headlamps and the highly sculpted grille and bumper impose an impression of being very sporty and expensive. The rear end is no different and the combination of LED taillights provide testimony.

The MPV rides on 15-inch wheels on the base model while the higher variants get bigger 16-inch rollers. It has a high ground clearance of 205 mm and is suspended over MacPherson Strut front and Torsion beam rear shock absorbers. The car is available in five colour options - Sterling Silver Grey, Titanium Grey, Jet Black Mica, Quartz White Pearl, and Red Metallic.

The 2025 Mitsubishi Xpander’s ride comfort is among the best in class. The seats come with lumbar support that lend long-term travelling comfort. The suspension system is well-tuned. It’s a combination of MacPherson struts in the front and a torsion beam setup at the back. The suspension is tuned for urban comfort. It absorbs bumps and potholes effectively. The cabin retains its composure even on uneven roads and ensures passenger comfort. The 2025 Mitsubishi Xpander’s body roll is well-contained. Handling feels stable and confident and particularly at a moderate speed. The MPV’s steering is light and predictable dynamics make it easy to manoeuvre in city traffic.

The 2025 Mitsubishi Xpander’s entry-level model is equipped with a turbocharged, four-cylinder, 1.5-litre petrol engine that produces 105PS/141Nm. The motor is mated to a five-speed manual gearbox.  On city roads, the MPV offers smooth acceleration and responsive throttle. It’s ideal for urban traffic. On highways, the powertrain performs adequately. It maintains a comfortable cruising speed but overtaking often requires careful planning because of limited power reserve. The 2025 Mitsubishi Xpander isn’t built for sporty performance. The powertrain is tuned more towards fuel efficiency and comfort.

The Mitsubishi Xpander’s safety suite comprises basic camera-based support with sensors. But there’s no radar-based driver-assist system. A rear-view camera helps in reversing, while door-impact beams, dual front airbags, and Mitsubishi’s Reinforced Impact Safety Evolution (RISE) body structure offer passive protection. 

The 2025 Mitsubishi Xpander has a starting price of ₱1.068 million. The MPV offers spacious comfort and practical features, making it a great choice for families. Its stands out in its segment, courtesy the smooth drive and value proposition.
