The Mitsubishi Xpander is a new versatile 7-seat SUV that offers comfort, functionality, quality and value for money. The Mitsubishi Xpander provides the best of both worlds. The front of the Xpander has a futuristic look and features a chrome upper grille, swept-back LED headlights, and daytime running lights and incorporates Mitsubishi Motors’ Dynamic Shield signature look that offers greater protection for pedestrians and passengers alike. The LED position lamps are arranged in crystal-like blocks and are positioned higher for better visibility. The 16-inch diamond-cut alloy wheels in a two-tone finish, a shark fin antenna, side bumpers flush with the body and the side panels and rear quarter complete the robust and sculpted look. The Xpander has a 2,775 wheelbase, an overall length of 4,475 mm, a width of 1,750 mm, and height of 1,700 m (Midline)/1,730m (High line).
The spacious interior of the Xpander is designed to reflect Japanese hospitality “OMOTENASHI” and provides comfort for all seven adult passengers thanks to supportive seating, convenient amenities and high-quality materials.
Noise and vibration in the cabin are effectively absorbed by using special materials, ensuring a supremely quiet experience for the driver and all passengers. Flexibility in the seating configuration to meet changing needs also allows for easy loading.
Safety performance is significantly enhanced thanks to Mitsubishi Motors’ Reinforced Impact Safety Evolution body or RISE, which efficiently absorbs energy and maintains high cabin integrity in the event of a collision.
Power is provided by the spirited and responsive 1.5-litre 16-valve Dual overhead camshaft engine with advanced MIVEC - Mitsubishi Innovative Valve timing Electronic Control system – making it easy for the Xpander to carry seven adults uphill with ease.
The new 2021 Attrage and Mirage have an advanced dynamic look and feel, reliable safety, and intelligent features that are combined with good fuel economy and genuine quality. The body is streamlined to slip smoothly through the air. Reduced drag lowers wind noise and CO2 emissions while raising fuel efficiency and high-speed stability.
The tight turning radius contributes to excellent handling and makes driving easy for anyone, at any age. Experience peppy performance and good fuel efficiency which bring joy to every drive. Whether commuting to work, shopping in the city or travelling through the countryside, you’ll enjoy sporty handling that is exceptionally stable, quick acceleration in response to your command, and agile maneuverability that makes parking and sharp turns a breeze.
The new compacts have an advanced, friendly, spacious cabin that’s equally impressive as its exterior.
In terms of safety, both compact cars are equipped with ABS and Electronic Brake-force Distribution [EBD] which distributes braking force to all four wheels to enhance braking performance. Tyre Pressure Monitoring System [TPMS] employs sensor-transmitters in the wheels to monitor tyre pressure and illuminates a warning lamp on the combination meter cluster if one or more tyres becomes significantly underinflated.
Other systems included are Hill Start Assistant, Driver and passenger SRS airbags, Collision safety performance is significantly enhanced by Mitsubishi Motors’ RISE (Reinforced Impact Safety Evolution) body, and Active Stability Control [ASC] which automatically adjusts engine output and applies braking force at the appropriate wheels to help maintain control and prevent skidding.
