Speaking at the launch event, Shinya Ikeda, Chief Executive Officer of MMM said,
“With an SUV-like driving experience, the newly updated 7-seater XPANDER crossover is meticulously crafted to ensure exceptional customer satisfaction. From its sleek design to its versatile capabilities, the XPANDER is crafted to meet the diverse needs of modern families and adventurous individuals alike.”

Ikeda added, “Since its Open-for-Booking announcement on 12 September 2024, the Mitsubishi XPANDER has received positive response. MMM would like to thank all its customers for showing overwhelming interest in the 2024 Mitsubishi XPANDER. We will try our utmost effort on production to honour these early bird customers as much as possible.”

MMM is represented by 61 showrooms (8 being 4S) and 61 services nationwide. In East Malaysia, MMM has 16 showrooms (8 in Sarawak and 8 in Sabah).

Ikeda says, “By 2025, we plan to open four more outlets, reaching a total of 65 to meet growing demand and improve customer experience.”

Strengthen MPV styling and premium feel through exterior and interior

The exterior appearance of the updated XPANDER has been designed to bring its existing stylish design to a higher level. It reflects the sophistication and active lifestyle of its owners, who are looking for a well-designed yet practical vehicle. 

The Dynamic Shield front face expresses power and reassurance with a newly adopted horizontal bumper and a three-dimensional skid plate.

T-shaped headlights are incorporated as a new generation headlight unit shape, and for the higher trim levels, LED type is used to secure good forward visibility.

The rear design produces a wide and stable appearance with a new light shape and a horizontally styled rear spoiler and bumper. For the rear combination lights, T-shaped tail lights while LED stop lights are added to the taillights and backlights to improve visibility at night.
 
The XPANDER also comes with 17-inch wheels and tires which are newly equipped with round-rim type alloy wheels featuring a robust and progressive machine-finished two-tone design.

The interior features a horizontally sculpted instrument panel that provides a feeling of spaciousness. The redesigned steering wheel is given a sporty and powerful look, while the grip size and shape are restyled to secure an easy and confident grip for the driver.

Driving Performance

The updated XPANDER’s driver’s comfort is leading in its class thanks to the stability offered which boasts best-in-class ground clearance of 225mm, raised by 20mm over the previous XPANDER to provide better ability on rougher or flooded roads, and also higher eye-point and clear visibility for the driver.
 
The XPANDER is powered by a 1.5-litre MIVEC petrol engine using an aluminium block that produces 105 PS at 6,000 rpm and 141 Nm of torque at 4,000 rpm.

Comfort and Convenience

An electric parking brake is newly added to the XPANDER Plus, enabling reliable stopping simply by operating a switch.

In addition, the new brake auto hold function allows the vehicle to continue the stopped state even when the driver takes their foot off the brake pedal when waiting for a traffic light or stopping in traffic jams, thereby reducing the burden on the driver and enhancing comfort.

For added peace-of-mind driving, the XPANDER Plus also adds on All Round Monitor (ARM) and a front & rear Driving Video Recorder (DVR), a first in its class. The rear DVR captures every moment or incident in front of the vehicle while on the move.

Moreover, the quality of the interior space for the higher-trim XPANDER is upgraded by using soft pads with synthetic leather and real stitching for the armrest and door trim.

Other new features include an air conditioning panel with a liquid crystal display that makes it easy to check the fan level and temperature settings at a glance and a high contrast meter display with a new graphic design.

A meticulous attention to detail for every passenger is designed throughout the cabin. The XPANDER is spacious with the capability to carry seven people comfortably on the road, and with a luggage capacity of 495L when the third-row seats are folded.

Three passengers can sit comfortably on the wide second-row seat and the vehicle also adopts a tumbling system for folding the second-row seats to make access to the back row easier.
 
The seatbacks in the second row (60:40 split) and third row (50:50 split) can be folded down with a simple operation to arrange the seats and luggage in various combinations.

For really large loads, the second and third-row seats can be folded down to create a large flat storage area without bumps or gaps. The luggage capacity is 495 litres when the third-row seats are folded.

Drive your Ambition Brand Festival

As part of the “Drive your Ambition Brand Festival” where the company celebrates the aspirations of its valued customers, MMM will be hosting a series of roadshows and showroom events nationwide for Malaysians to explore the stylish design and exciting features of the XPANDER firsthand.
