Looks like the price of the locally-assembled (CKD) 2020 Mitsubishi Xpander has been finally announced and it starts from RM 91,369 (excluding SST which is valid until 31-December 2020). The 7-seater SUV has been well-received by Malaysians with 2,000 bookings made since its announcement on 22-October 2020. At this price, the Xpander sounds like good value considering it is the largest B-segment SUV in Malaysia. It’s also cheaper than the Honda BR-V 1.5 V which starts from RM 93,420. There’s onl

Dalam pasaran global, sedan Segmen A bukanlah kategori kereta yang popular. Memadatkan format rekaan tiga-kotak di dalam dimensi yang kecil pada sedan spesifikasi paling rendah menghasilkan kereta yang tampak kurang sempurna dan menarik. Pada saiz sebegini, ia menjadi tanda tanya jika sedan adalah lebih praktikal berbanding hatchback dengan tempat duduk belakang yang boleh dilipat. Tetapi, pengguna di pelbagai pasaran yang sedang membangun (termasuk Malaysia) lebih berminat dengan sedan bajet; o

Globally, the A-segment sedan is not a very popular category of cars. Squeezing a three-box format design into the tiny dimensions of an entry-level sedan don’t make for very visually appealing proportions. At such size, it’s debatable if a sedan is any more practical than a hatchback with folding rear seats, but still, consumers in many developing markets (Malaysia included) have a preference for budget sedans so manufacturers happy to comply. As such, it’s inevitable that all A-segment sedans

A lot happens in a carmaker's history - some can sell 10 million cars in just 23 years, some formulas can remain unchanged for more than five decades while some pivoted straight into the world of SUVs. Which brings me neatly to this, the Mitsubishi Concept ZT, or what could have been the Galant. Mitsubishi Motors aren't too hot on sedans these days, with the Lancer (yes, the old one the Proton Inspira was based on) and Mirage G4 (Attrage as we once knew it) being sold in very select markets - Ma

As a company, Mitsubishi Motors Corporation (MMC) have seen better days. Yes, the company still enjoys a strong market presence, especially in 4x4s and it’s still the only brand that’s in a position to challenge the Toyota Hilux's dominance, but it’s safe to say that company have long passed its peak. More than 100 ago, Mitsubishi Motors’ predecessor, the Mitsubishi zaibatsu conglomerate built Japan’s first series production car – the Model A, which was a copy of the Fiat Tipo 3. At its peak, th

Mitsubishi Motors Malaysia (MMM) have taken the covers off the 7-seater 2020 Mitsubishi Xpander.

Now that Mitsubishi Motors Malaysia has introduced the 2020 Mitsubishi Xpander in Malaysia, the question on some people’s mind is: should you get the Xpander over a B-segment sedan like the Honda City, Nissan Almera, or Toyota Vios?
