Chronology
Predecessor

The Mitsubishi Xpander is a three-row compact MPV manufactured by Mitsubishi Motors. Mainly marketed as a "crossover MPV",[4] the vehicle was introduced in July 2017 in Indonesia, where the vehicle is manufactured and sold as a high-volume model. Introductions in other markets started since 2018, and the vehicle is mainly sold in Southeast Asia along with several Latin American, African and Middle Eastern markets. It is the fourth best-selling Mitsubishi Motors model globally in 2018 and 2019.[5][6]

In late 2019, a more rugged-looking variant was introduced as the Xpander Cross.[7][8] A rebadged and redesigned variant of the Xpander, with mainly different front and rear fascias, is sold by Nissan as the second-generation Livina in Indonesia since February 2019.[9][10]

XM Concept

The vehicle design was previewed by the XM Concept that was first displayed at the 24th Gaikindo Indonesia International Auto Show in August 2016. The official teaser images of the car were revealed on the Mitsubishi Motors website on 17 July 2017.[4] The car was unveiled in Jakarta on 24 July 2017[11] and debuted on 10 August 2017 at the 25th Gaikindo Indonesia International Auto Show.[12] The car went on sale in Indonesia on 3 October 2017.

Mainly marketed as a "Small Crossover MPV",[4] the design of the Xpander is claimed to be inspired by crossover SUVs and adopted the then-recent Dynamic Shield design philosophy.[13]

The vehicle has been exported throughout Southeast Asia, Nepal, Bolivia, Peru, Bangladesh, Egypt, the Middle East, Sri Lanka,[14] South Africa, and Mexico. A sub-model called the Xpander Cross has been available as a more rugged-looking variant of the vehicle since November 2019.

The Xpander is manufactured in Indonesia at the Mitsubishi Motors Krama Yudha Indonesia (MMKI) plant, and also assembled by kits by Mitsubishi Motors Vietnam since July 2020,[15][16] and by DRB-HICOM in Malaysia since September 2020.[17] To meet the unexpected high demand, the MMKI plant increased the production output from 5,000 to 10,000 units per month by early 2018.[18] 104,000 units were sold globally in 2018, followed by 114,000 units sold in 2019,[5][6] higher than initial annual target of 80,000 units.[19]

Indonesia

In Indonesia, the Xpander was initially available in five trim levels: GLX, GLS, Exceed, Sport and Ultimate.[20] The manual transmission was initially offered in GLX, GLS and Exceed trims, while the automatic unit was initially offered in Exceed, Sport and Ultimate trims. The GLS trim with automatic transmission and Sport trim with manual unit were added later in August 2018. The Limited Edition variant which is based on the Ultimate trim with body kits was made available in April 2019 to commemorate the sale of the Xpander which had reached 100,000 units. Only 1,000 units were made.[21][22][23]

The Xpander received its facelift on 8 November 2021 with redesigned front and rear fascias, headlights, taillights, dashboard, and steering wheel design. The latter two were only applied to Sport and Ultimate trims. The 4-speed automatic transmission is replaced by a CVT unit and the electronic parking brake is also adopted on Sport (CVT only) and Ultimate trims. Some other updates include increased wheel size (up to 17 inches), digital air conditioning system on Sport and Ultimate trims, adoption of idling start-stop system, the installation of an external exhaust gas recirculation system for the 4A91 engine, improved chassis rigidity, and retuned suspension systems.[27][28]

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.[46]

The Xpander has received mixed reviews from critics and journalists from its overseas export markets. Anton Andres of the Manila-based AutoIndustriya.com rated the car 8 out of 10, noting that the car is "comfortable, fuel-efficient, easy to drive (and park), and hugely practical" and "is relatively well equipped and the entire car is well thought out and put together". However, Andres gave a note about its steep price and the following price bumps, but he claimed that it is the best small MPV available if price is taken out of the equation.[47] Richard Leu of Bangkok Post gave a score of 6 out of 10, claimed that "the engine is unremarkable as it lacks power and mated to an antiquated 4-speed automatic", and commented that the Xpander is "solely about usability and not driving ability". Bangkok Post also pointed out that the Xpander is unable to undercut the 150 g/km level of CO2 emissions and to meet E85-compability, making it liable to an excise tax of 30%.[48]

Some Indonesian automotive industry experts commented that the Xpander had "created a new trend" in the Indonesian small MPV class, which is the biggest car segment in that market, particularly with its crossover SUV-inspired design and thus popularity. They commented, "Mitsubishi took the risk, but it worked successfully nonetheless".[49]

Xpander AP4

Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'strict' not found.

The Xpander AP4 is a rally car that competes 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.[50][51][52][53][54] The exterior has been modified to meet FIA AP4 rally standards. The interior has been stripped down and the roll cage has been added. The air conditioning and other unnecessary features has also been removed. The race-ready version of the car was shown at the 27th Gaikindo Indonesia International Auto Show in July 2019.[55] It is powered by a sleeved and de-stroked 2.0 L 4B11 engine to the displacement of 1.6 L and produced 261 kW (350 hp; 355 PS) and 556 N·m (410 lb·ft) of torque with the power transferred to the sequential manual transmission and four-wheel drive.[56] The car would originally made its official rally debut at the NZRC Goldrush Rally of Coromandel in Moewai Park, Whitianga, New Zealand from 16 to 17 August 2019 and piloted by Rifat Sungkar of Xpander Rally Team with Muhammad Redwan as the co-driver, but the FIA homologation process had not been finished at the time. The team then would use a Lancer Evolution VI spare car to be still able to compete in the rally.[57][58][59][60][61] The Xpander AP4 has a claimed development cost of more than US$4 billion (approximately US$230 thousand as of July 2019).[62]
