The 2022 Mitsubishi Xpander, a popular MPV in the Philippines, has recently undergone a refresh with updated styling and new features.

These changes are complemented by an increased ground clearance and lengthened body.

In terms of performance, the Xpander has improved rigidity in the front strut mounting area and larger cylinder size for the rear shock absorbers. It also now comes equipped with electric parking brakes and an auto hold function for added convenience. Powering the Xpander is a 1.5-liter MIVEC 4-cylinder engine paired with either a 5-speed manual or 4-speed automatic transmission, producing 104 horsepower and 141 Nm of torque.

Inside, the Xpander has a new "Horizontal Axis" dashboard layout and soft pads with synthetic leather and real stitching on the instrument panel and door trims for a more premium feel. The steering wheel has also been redesigned for easier driving, and the instrument cluster has revised graphics for better legibility. Other new interior features include digital A/C controls, cruise control, a 7-inch Display Audio system with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and USB and power outlets throughout the vehicle.
