Maxus V80 vs Mitsubishi Xforce
Verdict
The Maxus V80 is RM102,076 against RM109,980 for the Mitsubishi Xforce, so the commercial van saves RM7,904 before running costs. It is the tool here: two seats, diesel, manual, 2,499 cc, 136 hp and 330 Nm, plus a huge 5,700 mm length and 3,850 mm wheelbase. The Xforce is the family car: five seats, petrol CVT, 410-litre boot, four airbags, five-year warranty and RM120 road tax versus RM839. They answer different jobs, not just different tastes.
Pick the Maxus V80 if you need a front-drive diesel commercial vehicle with two seats, 330 Nm and an 80-litre tank more than passenger-car convenience.
Pick the Mitsubishi Xforce if you need a five-seat B-segment SUV with a CVT automatic, 410-litre boot, four airbags and lower RM120 road tax.

For work, the Maxus V80 is the better fit with 330 Nm, an 80-litre tank and a commercial body. For private use, the Mitsubishi Xforce makes more sense with five seats, CVT automatic, four airbags and a five-year warranty.
What is the price difference?
The Maxus V80 costs RM102,076, while the Mitsubishi Xforce costs RM109,980. That makes the Xforce RM7,904 more expensive before considering road tax, which is RM120 yearly versus RM839 for the V80.
