Mitsubishi Xpander MPV spotted testing in India

Now Mitsubishi Xpander spotted in India. Possible for a market study or component testing?

For me, it looks a lot like the new Ertiga. Actually, Ertiga might have taken inspiration from this, as Eclipse was launched much earlier.

Re: Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross spotted in India

Wake me up when the Lancer eventually lands.

Does Mitsubishi have a manufacturing plant anymore? Or is it just a ckd assembly line?

The pricing for these might be higher than locally manufactured rivals. Ideally this competes with the BRV in Indonesia

Is this why, Mitsubishi met Amit Shah asking for extension of BS6 deadline?

It could be possible they’ve an engine that’s compliant with BS4 alone and hence the request was putforth with government?

Re: Mitsubishi Xpander MPV spotted testing in India

Styling looks aggressive. There have been several reports recently of Mitsubishi's plans.

I don't see them in Auto Expo list this year, wish they had show cased it.

Re: Mitsubishi Xpander MPV spotted testing in India

The rear looks like the Ertiga and top half of the front reminds me of the ANHC(Look closely). Looks more MPVish than SUV.

Re: Mitsubishi Xpander MPV spotted testing in India

If they price it similar to Ertiga, then I don't see a good reason to buy this over Ertiga unless it is overloaded with features (similar to what KIA did in the SUV segment). In my opinion, unless they launch this MPV in the tight price range between Ertiga and Triber, there is no future for this MPV in India.

Re: Mitsubishi Xpander MPV spotted testing in India

True to it's name, it looks "expanded". The bumpers seemed to have been "expanded" in a xerox machine and fitted back.

Coming to the car itself, there is not much hope for it to succeed here.
Mitsubishi is on it's last legs in India, most of the dealerships have shut shop.

Re: Mitsubishi Xpander MPV spotted testing in India

Fun fact, the Mitsubishi Xpander is the Vietnam's best-selling car! It is also usually holds the 2nd or 3rd spot in the Indonesian market.

Re: Mitsubishi Xpander MPV spotted testing in India

I rode loads of times in the Xpander during my three-week long vacation in Vietnam. When you order a 7 seater/large car over there, it's usually between a Xpander, Innova or a Fortuner. I was under the impression the Xpander is an Innova alternative. I liked the placement of the screen on the dash.

Re: Mitsubishi Xpander MPV spotted testing in India

If Tesla made a premium road-cleaning machine it would look like this. Seriously, Japanese car designers are either getting very young as a workforce or watching too much anime or reading too much manga or a combination of them all!
