The 2024 Mitsubishi Xpander facelift has just been launched in Malaysia; just one week after bookings were opened for the seven-seater MPV. Of course, the facelifted version brings quite a number of changes to the MPV, and its actual price tags are lower than the estimated pricing.
Mitsubishi Motors Malaysia previously shared a RM115,000 estimated price for the Xpander, but as it turns out, the MPV starts at only RM99,980 for the base Xpander. The price goes up to RM109,980 for the better-equipped Xpander Plus, which adds leatherette seats, a 360-degree camera, front and rear dashcams, a wireless charger, and silver trim on the front and rear lower bumpers.
Compared to the pre-facelift model, the 2024 Xpander has T-shape LED headlights and taillights with larger 17-inch dual-tone alloy wheels. On the inside, there’s also a new dashboard design, a 9-inch floating infotainment screen – still with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto support – an updated steering wheel, digital climate control, and an electronic parking brake. This replaces the handbrake, freeing up space for a centre armrest; it’s a more practical interior, basically.
Beyond these changes, the Xpander continues to be powered by a 1.5L naturally aspirated engine that outputs 105PS and 141Nm of torque. Drive is sent to the front wheels via a four-speed automatic transmission; we’re not getting the CVT gearbox that is offered in other ASEAN markets, curiously enough. In the safety side of things, the MPV is still offered with only two airbags and no active safety features.
If you’re keen to book the Mitsubishi Xpander, you can do so online through Mitsubishi Motors Malaysia’s official website; do note that the RM99,980 and RM109,980 price tags for the new MPV are early bird promotions that are valid for registrations in 2024. Four colour options are available: Red Metallic, Quartz White Pearl, Diamond Black Mica, and Graphite Grey – the latter is a new colour which looks to replace Titanium Grey Metallic.
