Mitsubishi Motors Malaysia (MMM) has officially announced the new Mitsubishi Xforce, following social media teasers and the opening of registrations of interest. The B-segment SUV’s actual order books will open in early February, MMM says. The actual car has been caught in the open, and you can see it here.
“Guided by the product tagline ‘Exceed Xpectations’, the Mitsubishi Xforce is designed to deliver smart, practical value tailored to the needs of today’s discerning drivers. Emphasising superior handling, stylish design, comfort, and fuel efficiency, the Xforce offers everyday confidence and convenience—making it a compelling choice for modern lifestyles,” the company says.
Those who register their interest will enjoy exclusive product updates and announcements, invitations to roadshows and launch-related experiences, and access to early-bird notifications, MMM added.
One can check out the Xforce as it embarks on a nationwide ‘roving truck activation’. From January 16-29, the truck will be going around Kuala Lumpur and Selangor, before heading to Penang, Perak and Johor from February 5-15. It will also visit Kuantan and Kelantan before heading back to the Klang Valley from March 1-15. Exact locations and updates will be shared on MMM’s social media.
At 4,390 mm long and 1,810 mm wide, the Xforce sits between the Honda HR-V and Toyota Corolla Cross in size, and is slightly larger than the recently-launched Perodua Traz and its Toyota Yaris Cross twin. The 2,650 mm wheelbase length beats the HR-V (2,610 mm), Traz (2,620 mm) Proton X50 (2,600 mm).
The Mitsu is powered by a 1.5-litre naturally-aspirated four-pot with 105 PS and 141 Nm of torque at 4,000 rpm. The 4A91 MIVEC unit is paired to a CVT gearbox. MMC’s patented Active Yaw Control (AYC) adjusts driving force between the two front wheels, and there’s a Wet driving mode to improve cornering and stability when the roads are wet. The Xforce has a five-star ASEAN NCAP rating and a full ADAS pack. More on it here.

Looking to sell your car? Sell it with Carro.
let me guess- this will be slower acceleration than saga, and price at RM100k to compete with proton x70
price it around 130k then we talk.
130k competes with Mazda CX30 and Subaru XV, which are both 2.0 engines
CVT, CVT, Japan have no new technology,
If you are unlucky, after 5 years, get ready to overhaul the CVT. And it is not cheap!!
price should be around Honda HRV S spec kot… otherwise hard to sales
