Making its left-hand drive (LHD) market debut, the Mitsubishi Xforce was just launched in Vietnam. The Three Diamonds brand sees the socialist republic as a key market with the Mitsubishi Xpander crowned the country’s most popular car of 2023. Unlike the Xpander which is locally assembled (CKD) there, the Vietnamese-spec Xforce is fully imported (CBU) from Indonesia and is offered with 4 variants, 2 more than in the archipelago. Prices of the VN-spec Xforce are as follows: GLX – VND 620 million

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.

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

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
