The Mitsubishi Xpander Cross is a seven-seater small MPV with added Crossover flare. It is the indirect successor to the brand's popular AUV the Adventure. Being a newer model it carries the brand's Dynamic Shield design language paired with a car-like chassis. The new platform promises to give the vehicle better comfort with coil springs at all four wheels. The increased ride height of the vehicle also adds more utility by bumping up its ground clearance to 225mm. The vehicle has since become popular locally in its lower MPV version garnering a solid following and ranking 5th on the top cars sold in 2019.
Powering the raised MPV is a 1.5L naturally aspirated four-cylinder gasoline engine with MIVEC technology. With a frugal engine under the hood, the Xpander Cross promises to return fuel economy paired with matching performance. The engine can either be had with a 5-speed manual transmission or a 4-speed automatic. Power is sent exclusively to the front wheels.
Launch
The Xpander Cross had a quiet release due to the time of the Coronavirus in the Philippines. Mitsubishi Philippines released the vehicle online with help from its media partners to spread the information about the vehicle. The Xpander Cross replaces the GLS Sport as the new range-topping model for the Xpander. It comes with the same 1.5-liter naturally aspirated engine connected with a 4-speed automatic transmission. Along with the new body cladding the new vehicle also gets raised ground clearance compared to its MPV brother. It now comes with 225mm of clearance compared to the regular expander which only gets 205mm.
Platform, Chassis and Powertrain
The Xpander Cross comes with the same 4A91 gasoline engine that it shares with its MPV brother. The NC1W is a 1.5-liter DOHC gasoline engine that comes with Mitsubishi Innovative Valve-timing Electronic Control (MIVEC) technology. The four-cylinder powerplant can produce 103hp and 141 Nm of torque. The engine can either be had with either a 5-speed manual or a 4-speed automatic transmission.
The Xpander Cross's suspension comes with MacPherson Struts and Coil Springs at the front and a torsion beam setup at the rear. Stopping power comes in the form of disc brakes at the front and drum brakes at the rear. With its suspension setup and its monocoque chassis, the MPV produces adequate performance from its powerplant that is ideal for the country's often uneven roads.
Technology Features
On the inside, the Xpander cross gets the same features as the GLS Sport that it replaces. It comes with a 7-inch touchscreen infotainment system that is also Android Auto and Apple CarPlay capable. The head unit is also navigation ready. Sound is sent through a 6-speaker system that compromises of 4 regular speakers and 2 tweeters. The Xpander Cross also comes with electric power steering, cruise control, steering wheel-mounted controls, steering wheel tilt adjustability,and steering wheel telescopic adjustability.
Exterior
The Mitsubishi Xpander Cross features the brand's Dynamic Shield design language. This gives the raised MPV a similar face to its bigger brother the Montero Sport. The front bumper houses fog lamps, the headlights as well as the turn signals. The vehicle's daytime running lights are located at the top of front fascia just above the headlight housings. Being the raised variant of the Xpander, the Cross comes with a black body kit and other accessories that add to a more muscular and almost SUV-like look to the vehicle.
Interior
As a raised version of the Xpander, the Xpander Cross has to fulfill the role of a mini-people hauler. The vehicle's interior is laden with durable plastics ready to face the challenge of daily use. The vehicle comes with high-grade fabric and leather seat material options. Those who want the range-topping model will be getting a leather-wrapped steering wheel, leather-wrapped gear shift knob, and parking brake lever along with a hands-free switch.
Interior space is plentiful for its class. Space in the Xpander Cross is adequate even in the second row. Where it can get tight for adults is in the third row, where it's best reserved for children and smaller individuals. Cubby holes are plentiful in the MPV as it hosts a plethora of storage space options. Loading and unloading objects in and out of the vehicle are made easy thanks to a flat loading bay and a minimal loading lip. The Xpander Cross, like its lower riding MPV brother, can easily be transformed into a capable cargo hauler if need be.
