The Xforce was first shown as a concept car named the XFC Concept, that was first shown on 19 October in Ho Chi Minh City and then at the 2022 Vietnam Motor Show on 26 October.[6] The production version was unveiled at the 30th Gaikindo Indonesia International Auto Show on 10 August 2023.[7][8][9]

Overview

The model uses an updated design language up front, being the latest evolution of the 'Dynamic Shield' theme.[10]

Built on the same platform as the Xpander MPV, the Xforce is specifically tuned to offer heightened ride comfort on ASEAN roads, using a larger caster trail and quicker OA gear ratio in the front suspension, along with bigger-diameter rear shock absorbers. Active Yaw Control (AYC) is standard.[7]

The Xforce offers four driving modes depending on variant: Normal, Wet, Gravel and Mud. The 'Wet' mode is the first for a Mitsubishi Motors model.

According to Takao Kato, president and CEO of Mitsubishi Motors, the company is working on an electrified variant of the SUV in the future, which may be launched in regions outside of ASEAN.[11]
