Mitsubishi Xpander Cross

It seems okay. I am a bit disappointed with the value of it though. I do think it does lack a bit compared to the BR-V and Ertiga in terms of features and overall value.

Will be interesting to see if Mitsubishi SA will introduce higher spec versions with cruise control etc...
 
Sad to see Mitsubishi joining in on cutting corners, I have always respected them for having value for money cars. I guess we can't really blame them when everyone is doing it but it means they have stooped to the level of mediocrity instead of rising above it.

I do agree. They have been in a tough position recently hence why they haven't really released anything new (new chassis, drivetrain...) within the past 10 years except for a few vehicles like the Triton and Pajero Sport, not to mention that our own economy doesn't work in its favour.
Things do seem to be improving though, the new Outlander looks promising and the Pajero Sport is really great but underrated

TESTED: Mitsubishi Xpander is practical and looks sharp, but the engine lets it down

Overall the Mitsubishi Xpander is not a bad package at all as long as you aren’t in a hurry and adapt your driving style accordingly because the engine and transmission combination does let it down.

The 2023 Mitsubishi Xpander Cross gets a facelift and new tech

The pumped-up Mitsubishi Xpander Cross has received a facelift which includes an intricately styled front end and plenty of rugged trim throughout. The polarising looks of the refreshed minivan crossover are unlikely to hit our shores though after a launch of the original never materialised at its inception.

The three-year old Xpander Cross has gone under the knife on both its exterior and interior with its debut happening at the 2022 Indonesia International Auto Show. The front-end includes a redesigned fascia which continues the split-headlight theme feeding into the T-shaped grille. Functionally, the indicators have been repositioned into the uppermost cluster to aid with better visibility.

The bottom extremity retains rugged looking trim that is prominent throughout the car, combining black plastic with faux anodized trim as contrast. In each corner of the Xpander Cross are 17-inch alloy wheels with chunky tyre walls to absorb road imperfections for the emerging markets in which it will go on sale. Most notably, the refreshed model has had its front and rear overands lengthened by 95 mm.

Updated Mitsubishi Xpander (2022) Specs & Pricing

Over a year since it arrived in South Africa, the Mitsubishi Xpander has now been updated. See what’s changed and what you can expect to pay for the Xpander below…

The Mitsubishi Xpander is a 7-seater SUV and while it does resemble an MPV, Mitsubishi reckons there’s plenty of practicality and ruggedness for it to combine both roles.

“The Xpander is a true family-style seven-seater, with the space and engine performance to complete the package, which is why we believe it is South Africa’s most affordable seven-seater family vehicle in its class,” explains Jeffrey Allison, General Manager: Marketing at Mitsubishi Motors South Africa (MMSA).

Mitsubishi is offering its Xpander with a 1.5-litre engine and the choice of either a 5-speed manual gearbox or a 4-speed automatic. Power is rated at 77 kW and 141 Nm, and Mitsubishi claims a combined fuel consumption figure of 6.9 L/100 km for the manual, while the automatic is said to consume 7 L/100 km.

How much does the Mitsubishi Xpander cost in South Africa?

The new Xpander is sold with a 3-year/100 000 km manufacturer’s warranty and a 2-year/30 000 km service plan. The price also includes 5-year/unlimited mileage roadside assistance. Service intervals are set at 15 000 km/1 Year whichever comes first.

Mitsubishi Xpander seven-seater freshened up: SA pricing

Mitsubishi Motors South Africa has introduced an upgraded version of its compact seven-seat MPV, the Xpander, which also happens to be one of its best-selling models.

The Xpander is available a single spec grade, with the manual model priced at R329 995 and the auto commanding R349 995.

Mitsubishi aimed to give the model a more SUV-like appearance, with a new face incorporating T-shaped headlamps and a fresh lighting signature featuring more pronounced LED daytime running lights. Round back you’ll see upgraded LED tail lights as well as a high-mounted stop lamp.

The vehicle’s ground clearance has been improved from 205 mm to 225mm thanks to the new 16-inch alloy wheels on manual models, while automatic derivatives ride on 17-inch alloys.

What’s more, the overall length of the vehicle has grown by 120mm, according to Mitsubishi SA, which translates into improved cabin space.

 
REVIEW: Mitsubishi Xpander 1.5L auto sure is practical but could use more punch

Overall, ride quality was good though but keep in mind that Mitsubishi gave us the Pajero as well as the Evo, so it knows about engines, but this one lets an otherwise decent package down.

It comes with a three-year/100 000km warranty and a two-year/30 000km service plan,as well as a five-year/unlimited mileage roadside assistance.

Mitsubishi Xpander Cross (2025) Price & Specs

The long-awaited Mitsubishi Xpander Cross has arrived in South Africa, based on the standard 7-seater MPV but with SUV-inspired styling. Here’s what it costs…

The Mitsubishi Xpander Cross has been on the cards for South Africa since at least 2019 – and now it’s finally arrived. Slotting in at the top of the local Xpander MPV line-up, the Cross derivative is set apart chiefly by its SUV-inspired exterior styling, though it also gains some extra standard equipment.

Back in November 2019, soon after the global reveal of the (pre-facelift) Xpander Cross, Mitsubishi Motors South Africa announced it had “started with the homologation process in preparation [for] the imminent launch of this vehicle in SA”.

However, for whatever reason – perhaps a certain global pandemic got in the way – the Indonesian-built Cross didn’t materialise in Mzansi (though the standard Xpander did touch down in mid-2021, with the refreshed version making local landfall in September 2022).

But now the facelifted Xpander Cross is finally available in Mzansi, with its arrival seeing the 7-seater Xpander portfolio, well, “expand” to 3 derivatives. Offered exclusively in automatic guise, the Xpander Cross 1.5 4AT is priced at R419 995. That makes it some R34 000 more expensive than the standard variant with the same powertrain and R54 000 pricier than the manual-equipped base derivative.

The Xpander Cross employs the Japanese firm’s familiar naturally aspirated 1.5-litre, 4-cylinder petrol engine, which sends 77 kW and 141 Nm to the front axle via a 4-speed torque-converter automatic transmission. Mitsubishi Motors SA claims a combined fuel-economy figure of 7.0 L/100 km for this derivative, along with a 0-100 kph time of 15.4 seconds and a top speed of 170 kph.

So, what sets the Cross apart from the standard Xpander? Well, the most obvious change is the addition of black-plastic cladding for the body (mostly around the wheel arches), while the grille gains a metallic black finish and the front foglamp bezels score silver-painted trim. The front and rear lower garnish are also finished in silver, while an extra 5 mm of ground clearance takes the listed figure to 225 mm.

What does the Mitsubishi Xpander Cross cost in SA?

Mitsubishi Xpander 1.5 5MT – R365 995

Mitsubishi Xpander 1.5 4AT – R385 995

Mitsubishi Xpander Cross 1.5 4AT – R419 995

The prices above include a 3-year/100 000 km warranty and a 2-year/30 000 km service plan.
