FACE OFF: Mitsubishi Xpander Cross vs. Suzuki XL7

Which of these two new MPV-based crossovers is the better choice?

We recently saw the introduction of not one, but two new MPV-based crossovers. The Mitsubishi Xpander Cross and the Suzuki XL7 were both made available to the Philippine-market within the first half of March 2020. 

In terms of what they’re based on, the Mitsubishi Xpander and Suzuki Ertiga are already in some fierce competition. Now the two companies have brought that further with their new crossover versions.

So which of these two crossovers deserve to be called the best?

In terms of pricing, the both vehicles are priced above the 1-million Philippine Peso mark. The Suzuki XL7 is clearly cheaper at Php 1,068,000. The Mitsubishi Xpander Cross is priced at Php 1,255,000.

The two are very similar in terms of engine specifications with almost no differences

We compiled the most important specs of the two models below. Based on them, which do you think is the better choice among the two?
