Inside, the 2023 Mitsubishi Xpander Cross gets the same new interior of the regular Xpander. What sets it apart though is the steering wheel and 8-inch digital instrument cluster which appear to have been lifted off the Montero Sport, as well as a wireless phone charger. It also gets a light blue interior color scheme as opposed to the brown on the standard Xpander. For infotainment, it gets a 9-inch touchscreen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.

Under the hood, the 2023 Mitsubishi Xpander Cross keeps the pre-refresh version’s powertrain. That is a 1.5-liter 4A91 Inline 4-cylinder MIVEC petrol engine that produces 105 horsepower and 141 Nm of torque. Like the Indonesian-spec refreshed Xpander though, this is paired to a CVT. For the Philippines, we will most likely still get the 4-speed automatic transmission.

It also gets a 360-degree around-view monitor.

We do not know yet as of this posting when the updated Mitsubishi Xpander Cross will arrive in our market. Given the timing though, we could get the chance to at least get a preview of it at the upcoming Philippine International Motor Show (PIMS) next month.

What is the difference between Mitsubishi Xpander GLS and GLX?

For the Xpander Cross, Black Series, and GLS, the said engine sends power to the Xpander's front wheels via a four-speed automatic gearbox. The Xpander GLX meanwhile uses a five-speed manual tranny. For suspensions, all Xpander trims utilize a MacPherson strut for the front, and a torsion beam for the rear.

Is Xpander fuel

Its RWD system and a four-speed automatic transmission have an average fuel consumption of 6.2L/100 km on the highway and 9.1L/100km in heavy traffic conditions, slightly more than the rival. However, it's still quite economical for a 7-seater model and is suitable for the income level of most families in the city.
