Verdict
This is a close B-SUV fight on price, but the character split is clear. The Mitsubishi Xforce costs RM2,000 more and gives you the larger shell: 4,390 mm long, 1,810 mm wide and a 410-litre boot. That matters if rear-seat and luggage space sit high on the list. The Renault Captur answers with the stronger numbers: 120 hp, 205 Nm, 10.9 seconds to 100 km/h, 192 km/h and 5.9 L/100 km. Both are CKD, petrol, front-driven, five-seat SUVs with four airbags and five-year warranties.
Pick the Mitsubishi Xforce if you want the bigger B-SUV body, longer wheelbase and larger 410-litre boot.
Pick the Renault Captur if you want more power and torque, lower listed fuel use and cheaper annual road tax.
