2021 Mitsubishi Xpander review - RM91k in Malaysia

With over 4,000 units booked, the new Xpander seven-seater crossover is a rather popular choice. Is it a better buy over the Honda BR-V? Well, listen to what Hafriz Shah thinks of it, here.

Fantastic review. Hafriz is such a good story teller. Exceptional English, at the same time plain and easy to understand with a tad of humour. Great job !

[@flamingfox2366]

I don't know about the BRV but I found the handling of this car to be quite amazing for an MPV

[@HuntaKiller91]

Tried sitting on it yesterday,very impressed its more proportional and easy to get into like the Outlander since im 165-167cm in height Org tua kompem tak komplen naik banding dgn sampan P2 tu😂

[@zaini0606]

I like how hafriz matches his g-shocks to his attire; noticed how the watch matches the colour of the flowers on his shirt. I bet he has a watch for each of his shirt he wears on the channel

[@hafrizshah4937]

Hahaha someone noticed!

[@JoRicer]

5:00 correction, in Indonesian market, there are 3 types xpander with black interior color, Xpander Exceed Black edition, Xpander Sport, n Xpander Cross. His brother, namely Livina also uses a dark interior color, specifically the VL trim already uses black leather seats like the Malaysian market

[@sucim]

Great review, its great that finally (after years) people (and hence manufacturers) recognize how important Carplay is

[@TheHusfee87]

The normal maintenance is fine.. But the fuel filter need to be changed every 60k km for RM4xx... Im quite shocked with the part price...

[@kyleRYJ1N]

Why I think Aruz is the absolute winner here? They gave 6 airbags and ASA as well. But handling of course.

[@HuntaKiller91]

Handling just use kyb suspension and anti rollbar sets for rm3000-4000,i guess it shud be better with lower height aswell

[@nabillarif]

every time u say ' but then again ' I put a RM1 in a jar..I'm very rich now..

[@hafrizshah4937]

If you do the same with "and what not" you'll be doubly rich! With your own money, that is 🤣

[@mimi290586]

[@sapuvan]

When I see Hafriz, I click. Keep it awesome bro!

[@estonian44]

i wonder,,, its 2024, has anything change or competitors improved?

[@josephmanzuni8593]

You should do Genting runs on your review and explain the performance of each department of the car under stressed conditions. The technicals in actual performance is what serious car owners wish to know. Not about alphabets like AEB, ESP or other terms which are not really applicable in a 'real' accident. You need to explain how the car is built around crash tests, crumple zones, engine management, chassis development, suspension set-up and brake technology. Not just looks, AEB, ESP or other children's nursery rhymes!

[@chrischief12]

2 airbags on a 90k MPV in 2021 is totally unacceptable for me though. Come on mitshubishi, you can do much better than this man.

[@faidzjalil]

I would agree..here's hoping for mitsubishi would do a revision.

[@xcoolbc7639]

What only 2airbag ? Just like my viva. Lol

[@cutzdinesh3937]

All mpv below 100k have 2airbags only

[@thibannaidu3317]

@@cutzdinesh3937 b4 this exora has 4 airbag, after geely took over they reduce to 2 airbag

[@thibannaidu3317]

and the power should be around 115 hp with 6 speed gearbox or 5 speed bcz 4 speed is not suitable anymore for mpv. hope MMM can try to change the gearbox

[@johanjohn5904]

Aku br pkai XP ni...satu je problem...wind noise...aku compare kan ngan vios aku sblm ni...bile bukak tutup pintu..mmg XP ni mcm kedap...tp tu la ...wind noise..kdg2 bunyi wisel

[@parkbomsupremacy1984]

wind noise mungkin sbb windshield tak guna acoustic kot , sbb vios pakai acoustic

I wish there will be a video comparing Veloz and Xpander in the future.

[@T.Ashraf01]

Really wanna know the engine power with the fully loaded passengers and cargo space... is stll sufficient?

[@likzen8876]

Yes sufficient, just slow

[@chongbq4511]

Finally have time to share my experience here. When I decided to buy my wife a SUV last year end under tax exemption. Nevertheless extending until end of this year. Targeted SUV max rm130k. Shortlisted a few for test drove. They were Sabaru XV, Mazda Cx-3, Honda HRV and Mitsubishi Xpander. Since Bermaz did not bring in Cx-3 las year (only know after informed by sales advisor), ended up tested cx-30. The low spec is sold at rm146k. Since still afford up to rm150k, gave it a chance. Okay, back to this Xpander. I know it is only a budget SUV. My wife did not want to consider it. I pursuaded her for trst drive. For me, it was simple. I could still buy it as long as it can meet my minimum requirement. I wanted to buy a SUV that meet my requirement with lowest possible cost. What I like about this car was nice exterior look and 7 seaters. After test drove, should say during test drove, I told myself NO. I looked at my wife face, I know her decision too. Here are the reasons: 1. The interior material used (dashboard, PVC seat) is really very cheap. Look cheap, touch and feel cheap. For your information, I still keep the first batch avanza with me, 2005, 1.3 auto. If the material quality of Xpander is built at least conpare to this old Avanza, I can accept it. I am not idiot that expect it will look and feel like few hundreds thousand car. 2. The third row space. Again compare against Avanza, it feel much smaller. 3. NVH. I am expecting 2020 new car is built with improvement over old 2005 Avanza. Nevertheless, when drove over road bumps, Xpander vibrated just like Avanza. If you really force me to tell the difference, just slightly softer. Engine noise, tyre noise, under carriage noise, wind noise, etc. The power of this 1.5NA is not tesponsive enough even compare to other 1.5NA engine, such as BRV. If it can be built with better material, improve the sound proof, suspension and offer 1.6NA, I do not mind if pay at higher price. But anyway, this SUV still have its own market.

[@howtostillalive]

So, can i ask what car that you choose in the end?

[@goldilock2688]

Did you end up buying xpander?

[@rainsyahdante6702]

What a bias claim, then tell me why i fell newest 2019 avanza is smaller than xpander as i own avanza too

[@firdausrosli90]

Bigger headroom and legroom than the Exora?

[@Afeeq1011]

1:25 the most faux-SUV looking MPV is the 2008 or 1st gen RUSH. Why the rush? The door mounted spare tire, I should know because my family owns 1. The new Rush/Aruz, this, and similarly classed Xover doesn't really feels like an SUV, unless people fit them thicker tires, that will give a better impression of an SUV.

[@lilydaisy856]

[@suudir2813]

The presenter is more on BRV's than introducing the Xpander. Am struggling to her more about this car

[@chialingchew1857]

2 air bags in 2021... Don't think it is good enough..

[@dreamerfantasy7375]

You just might sway me over to XPander bro. Been thinking about Brv for a month now. For me, a family car = smooth ride not fast ride. Thanks bro

[@francischeong5192]

Good review. Isn't it safer to have both hands on the steering when driving? There is a lot of "one-handed" driving because of constant gesturing with the hands, and even "hands-off" several times.

[@aizatzet]

Thats true. But if you feeling in control, (considering road condition, traffics, car speed etc) should be no trouble with one handed steer

[@BenL1242]

Would you choose this car over the aruz though?

[@likzen8876]

Yes, I've been wandering around aruz for quite some times. But I brought xp in the end.

[@pauljaa4719]

@@likzen8876 same. Was eyeing aruz for so long. Test driven 3 times even. I test drive xp once & now, it is under my porch. Love the silent & comfy ride. Handling is good too for a tall thing.

[@zarleez]

I love driving my xpander.. So good 😁😘

[@chank.y.6514]

Boss, ii is go uphill 0k?

[@choiklu]

when the Geely Haoyue or x90 comes to the market, the market will heat up for 7 seaters. go look at the Philippines Geely Okabango for what is to come.

[@alifhashim3752]

The Geely X90 is essentially an SUV and not MPV. So its not a competitor to this car. Also, the Philippines is a lower priced MPV market with competitors mostly Chinese and Korean cars, compared to Malaysia which is more Japanese and European SUV centric. In the MPV category, cars such as the Innova and Rush does not sell well in Malaysia as the local market has a higher price point for MPV purchases. So in Malaysia cars such as the Serena Hybrid is a greater seller MPV. Currently only the BRV and Xpander are available besides the Perodua Alza which is smaller, in the B sized MPV segment.

[@shah8592]

The engine is ancient..the 4A91 was introduced in 2004 in Mitsubishi Colt.It is essentially unchanged.That is 16 years ago!!! BRV and Aruz use a newer modern engine.

[@mohdfauzan5257]

Well easy and cheap to maintain

[@pauljaa4719]

Yes its ancient but in terms of performance, efficiency & reliability, it is about the same with its rivals so, who cares, really. If it ain't broke...

[@harizhashim446]

New engines sure better performance but people dont buy MPV for that reason, its for family travel and outing.

[@shermainetong]

The Xpander is good value for money EXCEPT it needs to review and correct its Evo engineering suspension which makes it ride like a Pajero. I mean there's not too much roll but the bounce was enough to deter me.

[@MrChrist741]

I I didn't see the car, I would thought Mitsubishi started to sell undergarments.

X spenda

Kecantikan....... Media diberI oleh MMM mengiklankan produk kereta ini .. selepas dipasarkan jualan di Malaysia ramai orang gembira menanti nanti menunggu beli kereta ini ... lepas itu , ramai orang tak faham kenapa kereta start bergerak dalam 0-20km/j berbunyi (tak tak) di kaki kanan semasa tekan minyak.. ramai orang kecewa dengan Kenapa MMM ciptaan Xpander kepada orang Malaysia yang tidak sama di Indonesia sebab katanya orang Indonesia tidak ada info masalah yang macam ini...
