Mitsubishi XForce

How much is the price of the Mitsubishi XForce in the Philippines?

Available in two variants, the prices of Mitsubishi XForce start at PHP 1,367,000 for the GLS 1.5G 2WD CVT and go up to PHP 1,581,000 for the GT 2WD CVT variant. 

How many variants are there in the Mitsubishi XForce?

The Mitsubishi XForce is being offered in the Philippines car market in two distinctive variants – GLS 1.5G 2WD CVT and GT 1.5G 2WD CVT. Both these variants of the XForce are being offered with the combination of a petrol engine and a CVT gearbox as standard. 

Which is the most value-for-money variant of the Mitsubishi XForce?

Among the two variants of the Mitsubishi XForce on sale in the Philippines car market, it is the higher-spec GT 1.5 2WD CVT variant which makes more sense from the perspective of the value-for-money quotient. The lower-spec GLS 1.5 2WD CVT variant feels a bit basic in comparison and misses out on a few attractive goodies like ADAS suite of safety features, wireless charger, cruise control, leather upholstery, and ambient lighting, with the GT 1.5 2WD CVT variant getting all these, and some more.

What features does the Mitsubishi XForce get?

Much like many other compact SUVs on sale in the Philippines, the Mitsubishi XForce is a decently packaged SUV with several attractive elements inside-out. On the outside, the XForce gets 18-inch dual-tone alloy wheels and an all-LED setup for the headlamps, tail lamps, and fog lamps, besides auto headlamps and rain-sensing wipers in the higher-spec variant. 

Coming to the interiors of the Mitsubishi XForce, the SUV gets a contemporary layout for the cabin, with the common features in both variants being driver seat height adjustment, 8-way reclinable rear seats, dual-zone automatic climate control, rear AC vents, cooled centre floor console, and electronic parking brake. It also gets a tilt and telescopic adjustable multi-functional steering wheel, two Type-A and Type-C USB charging sockets, an 8-inch full-TFT instrument console, a 12.3-inch touchscreen infotainment system with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and an 8-speaker Yamaha Premium sound system. The higher-spec GT variant also features ambient lighting, wireless charger, and leather upholstery.

How spacious is it?

The Mitsubishi XForce measures 4,390 mm long, 1,810 mm wide, and 1,660mm tall, which makes it on par with other similarly-sized compact SUVs as far as interior space is concerned. It has ample room for five passengers, with the rear seats offering sufficient knee room, headroom, and shoulder room.

While Mitsubishi hasn’t disclosed the official boot space figure for the XForce, the compact SUV has the facility of 60:40 split seats as standard, with the rear seats also able to fold flat for maximized boot space.

What engine and transmission options are available?

The only engine option offered in both the variants of the Mitsubishi XForce is a tried-and-tested 1.5-litre four-cylinder naturally-aspirated petrol engine. Shared with the Xpander MPV, this engine is being offered with CVT as the standard transmission option. Mitsubishi claims a maximum power output of 105 bhp and a maximum torque output of 141 Nm for both variants of the XForce.

What’s the mileage of the Mitsubishi XForce?

Mitsubishi hasn’t revealed the official fuel efficiency figure for the XForce compact SUV. However, the combination of the same 1.5-litre petrol engine and CVT offered in the XForce claims a maximum fuel efficiency figure of 22.94 kmpl in the Xpander MPV (officially stated by Mitsubishi). Keeping this as a reference, we expect that the XForce should return a real-life fuel efficiency figure of 18-19 kmpl.

How safe is the Mitsubishi XForce?

The standard safety features offered in both the variants of the Mitsubishi XForce are dual front and side airbags, reverse camera, active stability and traction control, active yaw control, hill start assist, and ISOFIX mounts for child seats. However, the higher-spec GT variant also gets curtain airbags and reverse parking sensors. This GT variant also gets ADAS features like a forward collision mitigation system, leading car departure notification, blind spot warning system, rear cross-traffic alert, automatic high beam, and tyre pressure monitoring system. 

How many colour options are there?

The four colour options Mitsubishi is offering for the XForce compact SUV are Energetic Yellow Metallic with black roof, Quartz White Pearl with black roof, Graphite Grey Metallic with black roof and Blade Silver Metallic with black roof. Among these four colour options, the Blade Silver Metallic with black roof is restricted only to the lower-spec GLS variant, while the rest of the three colours are available in both variants. 

Should you buy the 2024 Mitsubishi XForce?

The Mitsubishi XForce is a product that might have arrived late to the party of compact SUVs, but it surely impresses with its attractive and youthful design inside-out and reliable and proven mechanicals. 

There are a few shortcomings though, which are hard to ignore. The XForce could have had a longer equipment list, with some goodies like a sunroof, ventilated seats, and a powered driver’s seat missing. Also, the petrol engine shared with the Xpander MPV feels a bit underpowered in the XForce. However, this very engine feels smooth, efficient and refined, and has proven its reliability in the Xpander. Also, the bold styling, spacious cabin, and comfortable ride quality make the XForce a compelling option for compact SUV buyers. 

What are my alternatives?

There is a range of compact SUVs from other mainstream auto brands that are direct rivals to the Mitsubishi XForce, priced in its similar ballpark. These alternative compact SUVs include Hyundai Creta, Kia Seltos, MG ZS, Nissan Kicks E-Power, Toyota Yaris Cross, Honda HR-V, Ford Territory, Mazda CX-3, Chevrolet Tracker, Mazda CX-3, Volkswagen T-Cross, Jeep Compass and Peugeot 2008. 

Other things to consider

Within Mitsubishi’s portfolio, you can also opt for the Xpander compact SUV, if you want the same mechanicals and almost similar equipment list, but with the additional practicality of a third row of seats.
