Mitsubishi Xforce News in Malaysia

Currently, the Mitsubishi Xforce is only available in two markets – Indonesia and Vietnam. Both countries are key to Mitsubishi Motors as the ASEAN market is where the Xforce is mainly developed for. While Mitsubishi’s rival to the likes of the Honda HR-V and Proton X50 will be launched in Malaysia, there is no exact timeline for its arrival. However, based on this spyshot photo, it seems the Xforce’s local debut could be happening sooner; perhaps by the end of the year. Shared by The Ajerul on

The Vietnamese automotive industry has been growing rapidly in the past few years and it is also one of Mitsubishi’s most vital markets in Southeast Asia. The Xpander is one of the most popular cars in the country and the XFC concept which previewed the HR-V-rivaling Mitsubishi Xforce made its world debut there. While the production version of the Xforce made its eventual global premiere at the 2023 Gaikindo Indonesia International Auto Show (GIIAS), the B-segment SUV could be launching in Vietn

The Mitsubishi Xforce is quite possibly one of the most exciting (Xciting?) SUVs to be launched in recent years. Competing directly against the likes of the Honda HR-V and the Proton X50, the Xforce looks like a winner with a proper SUV design and a host of drive modes similar to a modern off-roader. Despite having a ground clearance similar to the all-new 2024 Mitsubishi Triton at 222 mm, the Xforce is still a two-wheel drive soft-roader. Sitting on a shortened platform of the front-wheel drive

The compact SUV market is shaping up to be spicier with the launch of the Mitsubishi Xforce and while it has a premium interior and off-roader looks, the latest SUV is lacking in the advanced safety features department. Currently, the Xforce has 6 airbags, blind-spot warnings (BSW), and rear cross-traffic alert (RCTA) as standard but those sound lacking compared to what is being offered by the competitors. Rivals like the Honda HR-V and Proton X50 offer a more comprehensive ADAS suite like adapt

As a challenger against turbocharged compact SUV rivals from the likes of the Honda HR-V and Proton X50, the newly-unveiled Mitsubishi Xforce sounds a tad bit underpowered as it only offers a naturally-aspirated (NA) 1.5-litre engine. However, this is mainly to suit the needs of ASEAN buyers, according to Hiroshi Nagaoka, Executive Vice President of Mitsubishi Motors Corporation (MMC), at a question and answer (Q&A) session with the Malaysian media following the launch of the Xforce at the 2023

The Mitsubishi Xforce is yet another compact crossover in a segment that is gaining popularity all over Southeast Asia but it also stands out from the rest in terms of a design that looks geared to go off the beaten path. Yet, the Xforce is only available as a front-wheel drive (FWD) SUV despite having the highest ground clearance in its class at 222 mm as well as its class' highest approach and departure angle at 20° and 30.5° respectively. That ground clearance height is similar to the all-new

The distinction between a good car and a so-so one often times lie in the way it drives, more than what gizmos and tech it might have. Tuning then plays a very important part, and it's one Mitsubishi Motors paid extra attention to when it comes to the Xforce. "Basically, how Mitsubishi Motors tune the suspension for ASEAN is based on what kind of roads and customer behaviour we encounter. In that sense the road surface in ASEAN is rather rough compared to, for example, Japan, so we need to be pr
