Mitsubishi gives the Xpander and Xpander Cross one last update

With Mitsubishi Motors Corporation announcing that the second-generation Xpander is currently under development to be shown off next year it wouldn’t be fair to assume that the current facelift would be its last, but it seems that the brand just gave the current model a shot in the arm with a third facelift, and it’s a very comprehensive visual update for the two models.

For 2025, the Xpander gets a redesigned front bumper, now with a simplified front grille with a single silver strip and vertical slats for the grille. The T-shaped LED headlights have a darker housing around them, alongside new LED foglights. There are multi-spoke, two-tone 17-inch alloy wheels, and body-colored door handles, and that’s about all the changes for the exterior.

Meanwhile, the Xpander Cross’ front bumper is more heavily redesigned, with lots of dark chrome, a mesh-like grille pattern, and a lower front bumper section that’s reminiscent of an aftermarket front bumper.

The two-tone 17-inch wheels get a funky triangle motif, it also gets body-colored door handles, and the rear bumper is redesigned to look as if it has an integrated bash plate.

On the inside, both now get the same three-spoke steering wheel taken from the Triton and a new 10-inch infotainment screen. Higher variant grades get a new eight-inch digital instrument cluster first seen in the Xforce, and a 360-degree camera.

Both cars also get a redesigned second row, where the middle seat now has a headrest for improved passenger comfort, and the Xpander Cross gets the option for two-tone black-and-maroon synthetic leather upholstery.

Powertrain-wise, the same 1.5-liter, four-cylinder gasoline engine (4A91) persists, with 105 horsepower and 141Nm of torque. Indonesia gets the option for either a CVT or a five-speed manual. The standard Xpander now also gets Active Yaw Control, effectively putting it in feature parity with the Xpander Cross.

Indonesia does not get the e:Motion hybrid drivetrain, but these changes should eventually trickle down to the rest of the world, which we hope Mitsubishi Motors Philippines will introduce to our market soon.
