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
