Sticking true to their word, Mitsubishi will be releasing an HEV version of the Xpander this week in Thailand.

The Mitsubishi Xpander is a strong contender in the MPV market. Released back in 2017, Mitsubishi’s MPV has enjoyed a considerable amount of success here in the Philippines and overseas. Now, the reason why we’re talking about the Xpander is because a hybrid version is set to be released soon, very soon.

Back in 2023, Mitsubishi Motors unveiled a product roadmap outlining upcoming models. Two of those we already know are the Xforce and the recently launched Triton pickup truck. Next to be released according to the plan was the hybrid variant of the Xpander MPV, and it seems Mitsubishi has kept its word.

Mitsubishi Motors Thailand announced in a post that the hybrid MPV is scheduled for launch on February 1, 2024. Additionally, the high-riding Mitsubishi Xpander Cross will also feature an electrified powertrain. Don’t expect all the full details right now though as Mitsubishi is currently keeping details under wraps. The teaser photo implies some exterior modifications, like some blue accents on the side steps and the wheels, but that’s as far as we got with just the teaser.

Details on the powertrain are still unknown but according to MMC, they said that it will be a full hybrid. This is in contrast to an earlier statement saying the Xpander hybrid will only be a “mild-hybrid.”

Right now, the Xpander is powered by a 1.5-liter naturally-aspirated four-cylinder gasoline engine that puts out 103 hp and 141 Nm of torque. According to a report by AutoIndustriya, they speculate that the Xpander hybrid could receive the e-POWER powertrain from the Nissan Kicks e-POWER, judging by the suspiciously similar e-MOTION branding found in the teaser. In addition, this connection is not far from reality because Mitsubishi is part of an alliance with Nissan and Renault.

Nothing is set in stone until the official launch of the Xpander hybrid comes. So until February 1 rolls around, we can only really speculate on what this hybrid version will come with. In the meantime, the gas-powered Xpander is available in the country with three variants to choose from as well as the more rugged Xpander Cross. It presents an ideal option for a family car with its frugal engine and seven-seating capacity. Explore it further on AutoDeal.com.ph and consider getting a free quote for one today.
