Overview
The Mitsubishi Xpander is a compact multi-purpose vehicle (MPV) manufactured by Mitsubishi Motors since 2017. Prominently marketed as a "crossover MPV", the vehicle was introduced in July 2017 in Indonesia, where the vehicle was manufactured and sold as a high-volume model. Introductions in other markets started since 2018, and the vehicle is mainly sold in emerging countries in Southeast Asia along with several Latin American, African and Middle Eastern markets. It was the fourth best-selling Mitsubishi Motors model globally in 2018 and 2019, and became its third best-selling model in 2021. In late 2019, a more rugged-looking variant was introduced as the Xpander Cross.
Powertrain
The Xpander is powered by a 1.5-litre 4A91 petrol engine. Transmission options include a 5-speed manual and 4-speed automatic. Since the 2021 facelift, some markets such as Indonesia and Thailand switched to a CVT replacing the 4-speed automatic. Many markets such as the Philippines, Vietnam, Malaysia, and Mexico retains the older 4-speed automatic gearbox.
Reception
The car was well received at the 2017 Gaikindo Indonesia International Auto Show, as Mitsubishi Motors received 11,827 bookings for the Xpander during the event.
Motorsport
The Xpander AP4 is a rally car that competed in the Asia-Pacific Rally Championship in the AP4 class. It was first shown as the prototype at the 27th Indonesia International Motor Show through April to May 2019.
Safety
Initially, the Xpander is only available with two airbags, with no option to increase the airbag count. Hoffen Teh, Senior Vice President of Mitsubishi Motors Malaysia, stated in 2020 that there was no significant market demand in ASEAN for more than two airbags, and therefore the Xpander was specifically designed to accommodate only two airbags. However, as of May 2025, this statement has become outdated, as Mitsubishi has released the second facelift of the Xpander and Xpander Cross, which are now available with six airbags.
