The Mitsubishi Xpander was the undisputed star of the 2017 Gaikindo Indonesia International Auto Show (GIIAS) that was held earlier this month. The production version of the XM Concept and new entry into Indonesia’s core Low MPV segment was making its world and Indonesian market debut at the annual show.
The Xpander was mobbed by paying show goers on the first two days that we were at ICE BSD City, and it turns out that many who went there to see, eventually put down their names for one. Dapurpacu reports that Mitsubishi collected 5,281 bookings for the SUV-flavoured MPV from the 11-day motor show. As of August 20, the total number of bookings stood at 7,489.
“This achievement pushes us to continue to improve the levels of service to our consumers in line with our values and ‘customer obsession’ slogan,” said Kyoya Kondo, president of Mitsubishi Motors Krama Yudha Sales Indonesia (MMKSI).
MMKSI’s promotion of the Xpander continues in Indonesia with ‘special exhibitions’ in nine cities and over 70 events. The Xpander, which is powered by a 1.5 litre engine with 104 PS and 141 Nm, is available in five trim levels priced from Rp 189,050,000 (RM60,843) to Rp 245,350,000 (RM78,968). Made in Indonesia, it will be exported to ASEAN and Malaysia next year. Fancy a sub-RM100k challenger to the Honda BR-V?

So shy that all new cars now Made in Indonesia or Thailand. Don’t know why car companies don’t want to choose Malaysia!
Becoz we dun want moving deathtraps.
Because of your type of mentality.
Geely choose Malaysia. I mean Proton.
Who would buy this ugly POS?
7500 people and counting.
You know how indon right? MPV sejuta umat.. do personaly have a mixed feeling about the design of this mpv.. both ugly and unique at the same time..
It may not be to your taste but apparently, Thousands bought it. Looks like many do not agree with your taste!
Is it true that Indonesia’s price usually doesn’t differ much from Malaysian’s price?
Add another rm10k for expected malaysia price
Thats not alot when compare to car price itself.
Usually, or I must say, mostly car price in Indonesia would be higher than in Malaysia. So, it is possible that this car would be priced lower (slightly lower, no major differences) than in Indonesia. Let us put hope that it would be priced lower than the BRV.
We pay more or less the same for cars as you guys
OMG, the interior from 2008 until 2017, still same design…sigh
If below rm50k , may sell. The BRV btw, is super ugly…
In the looks department, this xpander beats the BRV. hands down.
Don’t think so will be below 50k… maybe in the range of 80 – 90k to compete with BRV…
This car is quite good, very well package for young families! Bravo MMC! Bring over to Malaysia soon pls…
If powered by 1.8 can easily beat brv sales
The next Nissan Grand Livina in Malaysia.
Jeez… how can someone book and buy something without even test drive or even touch the real car??? Brand is everything? What a cave man mentality
i did .. bought my iswara, then a wira 1.8, than waja,& a Gen2 without test drive.. i must be retarded and my house is a cave down the road from your house.. and yes Proton is a brand. tq
The third row seat is marvellous from the indon video review, good legroom and can sit in a proper 90 degree position… BRV third row seat sit in squatting position…
Guys, would appreciate it if someone can tell me when is this arriving here? ..i really need to change my car..tq .. BTW i dont need any likes, just a reply to its ETA.
2018.
The beige color is just a no no, even from the Jakarta auto show, you can see the beige color interior is already getting dirty. Whoever comes out with that beige color interior is just silly.
For RM 78,500 you get break assist, hill assist, stabilty control, abs, emergency stop signal, telescopic steering, 4 disc brake, not even the RM 160,000 Fortuner gives you 4 disc break let alone stability control in Indonesia
