Mitsubishi Motors Philippine­s Corporatio­n (MMPC) recently kicked off the start of reservatio­ns for the new Xpander, starting 5 March. The seven-seater was locally introduced in 2018 and since then, has steadily become the company’s bestsellin­g model. Last year, it accounted for 54.40-percent share of market further imposing its number one position in its 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 CEO, 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 brand is giving a sneak peak of the new Xpander two months ahead of its official arrival in the country. First seen in Indonesia, customers can expect: A refreshed exterior, toward an advanced sports utility vehicle (SUV) styling bannered by the new signature T-Shape head and tail lights, redesigned horizontal front bumper, larger 17-inch wheels and side sills; more refined interior quality, which shows off a more robust SUV taste starting with the adoption of Mitsubishi’s Design Identity of Horizontal Axis in the dashboard, soft padding accents, and seven-inch display with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto and a more enhanced utility and drivabilit­y, enabling a flatter and more comfortabl­e ride due to the addition of high performanc­e valves in the front and rear suspension while still keeping its best-in-class ground clearance of 225 mm.

The new Xpander will feature five color options, including the newest Blade Silver Metallic and will retail for a starting price of P1,030,000.
