Mitsubishi Xforce: more Mitsubishi than the ASX

Mitsubishi recently showed the first photos of a brand new compact SUV-like, although it did not give away what the newcomer would be called. That vacancy has now been filled. Xforce. That is the name of Mitsubishi’s new crossover with which it focuses its sights on the Asian market for the time being.

The Mitsubishi XFC Concept (2022).

The Mitsubishi Xforce is the production version of this XFC Concept that the brand showed in October last year. The final production version is 4.39 meters long, 1.81 meters wide and 1.66 meters high. Its wheelbase: 2.65 meters. This makes the Xforce 15 centimeters longer than the Mitsubishi ASX. The Mitsubishi Xforce always has four-wheel drive and is propelled by a 105 hp and 141 Nm strong 1.5 petrol engine without turbo or any form of electrical assistance. That is probably precisely the reason why the Xforce is not coming to Europe and that Mitsubishi has appropriated Renault’s Captur here to fill the gap left by the disappearance of the ASX. The Mitsubishi ASX is indeed available with electrified machines. The Mitsubishi Xforce always has a CVT transmission and weighs 1,245 kilos.

Mitsubishi Xforce

Much more than the Mitsubishi ASX and the new Colt, the Xforce has its own face. At both the front and rear we see boomerang-shaped lighting with a spur at the bottom. According to Mitsubishi, the car was developed with the Asian market in mind. According to the Japanese, the ground clearance of 22.2 centimeters should therefore offer enough options and comfort “[…] on rough roads”. In the interior we find a 12.3-inch infotainment screen and a digital instrument panel with an 8-inch diagonal.
