The GIIAS 2017 marks the official public debut of
Mitsubishi’s new MPV called Xpander. The Mitsubishi Xpander first broke cover
on July 14, followed by official images and leaked information revealing
details about the MPV.
The Xpander gets a rather unconventional looking
front end based on Mitsubishi’s ‘Dynamic Shield’ design. The headlamps and turn
indicators are placed in the front bumper while the cluster flanking the grille
is for LED pilot lamps. At the back, the Mitsubishi Xpander gets L-shape tail
lights with LED detailing. The example on the display at the GIIAS 2017 wears a
body kit with bumper extensions and side skirts and is finished in Quartz White
Pearl.
On the inside, the cabin is draped in a black-beige
combo, save for the Sport trim which will get an all-black cabin. The steering
wheel has been borrowed from the Mirage, while the instrument console resembles
that of the Pajero Sport. The features list of the Mitsubishi Xpander was
leaked yesterday revealing the variant wise break up. Top of the line Sport and
Ultimate trims get keyless entry, push button start, colour LCD multi
information display, brake assist and hill start assist. The top-end Ultimate
trim adds a touchscreen and reverse parking camera to the Xpander.
Under the hood, the Mitsubishi Xpander uses a 1.5 L
four cylinder MIVEC engine that produces 103 hp and 141 Nm with
5-speed manual and 4-speed automatic transmission options. It is 4,475 mm long,
1,750 mm wide and 1,700 mm tall.
