Mitsubishi Xpander Cross: A cross over the regular

In the realm of compact SUVs, the Mitsubishi Xpander has already carved out a name for itself as a reliable and versatile family-friendly vehicle. However, Mitsubishi took it a step further with the introduction of the Mitsubishi Xpander Cross, a compelling variation of its regular sibling. Packed with unique features and a rugged, adventurous spirit, the Xpander Cross showcases what it takes to be a cut above the rest.

Here, we will delve into the reasons why the Mitsubishi Xpander Cross is a cross over the regular Xpander.

The Xpander Cross immediately grabs attention with its distinctive and bolder styling. It exhibits a more muscular and rugged appearance, enhanced by Mitsubishi’s dynamic shield design language with a redesigned front grille with a chrome accent and black accents on the bumper, roof rails, side fenders, and wheel arches. The increased ride height and unique alloy wheels further emphasize the adventurous nature of the Xpander Cross. Its bold and rugged exterior design sets it apart from the regular Xpander’s smoother lines, making it an ideal choice for those seeking a more striking and dynamic presence on the road.

While the regular Xpander is known for its practicality, the Xpander Cross takes versatility to a whole new level. It features improved ground clearance, enabling it to tackle rough terrains and traverse uneven surfaces with ease. This capability is further accentuated with faux skid plates on the front and rear, giving an added sense of adventure. Whether it's exploring off-road trails or navigating urban landscapes, the Xpander Cross excels in delivering an unmatched combination of comfort and adaptability.

Mitsubishi has gone the extra mile to enhance the driving experience in the Xpander Cross. The suspension system has been specifically tuned to provide better stability and handling, resulting in a smoother and more confident ride. This is also thanks to the addition of the rear shock absorbers lifted directly from the Montero Sport. Additionally, the Xpander Cross comes equipped with Mitsubishi's Active Stability Control (ASC) and Hill Start Assist System (HAS), ensuring enhanced safety and control in various driving conditions. These advancements make the Xpander Cross a pleasure to drive, whether you're on a family road trip or tackling daily commutes. 

That’s not the end of it, either. The Xpander Cross also features World Rally Championship (WRC) technology from the legendary Lancer Evolution models with Active Yaw Control (AYC), so it could tackle corners better than the competition.

The Xpander Cross offers a spacious cabin that can accommodate up to seven passengers, and while the regular Xpander also has that same versatility, the Xpander Cross features a much more appointed cabin that is designed with meticulous attention to detail, featuring premium materials and more leather trimmings. Furthermore, the Xpander Cross offers an array of convenient features, such as an updated touchscreen infotainment system, Bluetooth connectivity, and USB ports, along with Apple Carplay and Android Auto, ensuring a connected and enjoyable journey for all occupants.

Additionally, the Xpander Cross also gets the digital instrument cluster and steering wheel from the Montero Sport, which further helps differentiate it from the regular Xpander, and adds a premium feel.

The Mitsubishi Xpander Cross confidently takes the crown as the superior choice when compared to its regular sibling. With its rugged styling, enhanced capability, improved driving experience, more appointed interior, and better technology, the Xpander Cross truly embodies the spirit of adventure and elevates the driving experience to new heights. Whether you're a thrill-seeking individual or a practical-minded family man, the Xpander Cross offers a compelling package that surpasses the regular Xpander in multiple aspects, plus it gives Pickup-Platform Vehicle (PPV) versatility and looks with the comfort of a unibody chassis.
