The Xpander AT Premium is priced at 659 million VND, while the Xpander Cross is available for 699 million VND, both reflecting a 1 million VND increase compared to their predecessors.
Exterior Enhancements: A Bold New Look
The most noticeable exterior change is the redesigned front grille. Standard models feature vertical slats, while the Xpander Cross boasts a honeycomb pattern. The front bumper has also been revamped for a more aggressive appearance.
Headlights and Fog Lights: Illuminating the Road Ahead
The AT Premium and Cross models retain their full LED headlights with a distinctive “T” shape, now complemented by a high-mounted daytime running light. The AT Premium further benefits from an upgrade to LED fog lights, replacing the previous halogen units.
Dimensions: Maintaining a Familiar Stance
The 2025 Mitsubishi Xpander and Xpander Cross retain their familiar dimensions: 4,595 mm in length, 1,750 mm in width, and 1,750 mm in height, with a 2,775 mm wheelbase and a ground clearance of 225 mm.
Alloy Wheels: A Touch of Sportiness
The alloy wheels are a standout feature. The Xpander AT Premium sports 9-spoke dual-tone wheels, creating a visual effect reminiscent of multi-spoke designs. The Xpander Cross, on the other hand, boasts robust multi-spoke wheels, emphasizing its rugged character. Both variants feature 17-inch wheels.
Rear End: A Subtle Yet Effective Revamp
The rear bumper of the 2025 Mitsubishi Xpander has been redesigned with a more squared-off and muscular appearance. LED taillights are exclusive to the AT Premium and Cross models.
Interior Refinements: A Familiar Yet Refined Cabin
The interior of the 2025 Mitsubishi Xpander and Xpander Cross remains largely unchanged from the 2022 facelift. Mitsubishi has focused on refining existing elements, creating a sense of freshness.
Infotainment System: A Larger, More Connected Experience
A notable upgrade is the new 10-inch touchscreen infotainment system with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity (available on AT Premium and Cross models). The display boasts improved clarity and sharpness compared to the previous 9-inch unit.
Digital Instrument Cluster: A Modern Touch
The instrument cluster has been upgraded to a fully digital unit, mirroring the design and functionality found in the Xforce.
Steering Wheel: Enhanced Comfort and Control
The steering wheel has been redesigned to resemble the Xforce’s unit, incorporating vibration-dampening rubber for a smoother driving experience. It also features convenient controls for media and cruise control, although paddle shifters remain absent.
Upholstery: A Touch of Luxury
The Mitsubishi Xpander features black leather upholstery, while the Xpander Cross offers a more vibrant red and black combination, replacing the previous green and black option. Both variants utilize heat-absorbing leather for enhanced comfort in sunny conditions.
Powertrain: Proven Reliability
The 2025 Mitsubishi Xpander and Xpander Cross retain the familiar 1.5L naturally aspirated engine, delivering 104 horsepower and 141 Nm of torque. Surprisingly, MMV has opted to keep the 4-speed automatic transmission, while international markets have transitioned to a CVT. Mitsubishi confirms compatibility with E10 fuel.
Safety Features: Enhanced Protection
A significant safety upgrade is the addition of six airbags for the AT Premium and Cross models, up from the previous two. The Active Yaw Control (AYC) system, which enhances cornering stability, is now standard on the AT Premium and remains on the Xpander Cross.
Conclusion: A Refined and Competitive MPV
