Mitsubishi Xpander 2018 - 2019 Review

The car is available with a Euro2-rated, 1.5-liter, four-cylinder, multi-valve MIVEC engine, producing 104 hp at 6,000 rpm, a maximum torque of 141 Nm at 4,000 rpm, and a four-speed automatic transmission. The car is front-wheel drive, enabling it to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in 13.8 seconds and reach a top speed of 170 km/h.

The car's average fuel consumption is 5 liters per 100 km, as its weight, which ranges between 1,240 and 1,260 kg, makes it fuel-efficient.

The car's drawback is that it has an older Euro 2 engine and relies on a traditional 4-speed hydraulic automatic transmission, which harks back to earlier generations of transmissions.

The car boasts a fuel consumption rate that is considered the most important for a car, as it requires only 5 liters of fuel to travel a distance of 100 km, making it an economical car despite its size, large body, massive dimensions, and heavy weight.

The car is 4475 mm long, 1750 mm wide, and 1695 mm high, with a trunk capacity of 220 liters. It can seat up to seven passengers.

The car is suitable for families who have decided to upgrade from the sedan category to a more practical higher class. It is also suitable for tourism companies because it has a passenger compartment that can accommodate seven passengers, in addition to a practical and large space in the rear for storing luggage and other items. It is easy to enter and exit the car and load luggage and other items through the large rear door. It offers an interior space of 840 mm from front to back, in addition to an interior width of 411 mm.

The car also has an ideal and practical cabin, providing multiple spaces for storing light items, along with several cup holders. It also features luxurious touches, including wood and aluminum decorations, and a three-spoke sports steering wheel.

The interior includes a digital entertainment system with a display screen above the console, and the third-row seats can be removed. To increase luggage space and facilitate easy entry and exit to the third row of seats.

The car's biggest advantage is its 2,775 mm wheelbase, which makes it spacious inside. It's also the longest in its class, which naturally gives it the ability to be spacious inside.

The dashboard, door panels, and many other surfaces are actually made of hard plastic, but somehow Mitsubishi has executed them with impeccable quality. It can be deceiving, especially when some mistake it for soft leather. It comes with clear gauges and a good dual-media console in the center of the dashboard. It comes equipped with Bluetooth and navigation, and the air conditioning system has the ability to manage the temperature well.

Another key factor in the Expander is the ease with which the two rear rows fold and the space they provide. There's good space for a few bags in the back with the third row in place, but the highlight of the car is that the rear seats are designed to fold down, creating an unobstructed load space of 1.75 meters, but the Suzuki Ertiga beats it on this point.

The vehicle is built on a fully developed platform, enhanced by a front MacPherson strut suspension and a rear torsion beam. It boasts a ground clearance of 205 mm, which adds to its maneuverability in tight spaces and off-road capability. However, the Toyota Rush outperforms it in terms of ground clearance.

The Expander's long wheelbase also provides great stability at high speeds on highways and highways, even when entering curves. This also makes it easier to maneuver in tight spaces and parking lots.

The car is considered new to the Egyptian market and is available as a newly used or zero-kilometer car. However, it is a sought-after and desirable car in the used market, especially since the available quantities are small and there is demand for it. This has led to an overpriced price. Therefore, it can be said that its prices maintain their value and may increase due to the overpriced price in the new market, which makes its price exceed its official price. The car is in high demand by buyers because it seats 7 passengers in a popular category in Egypt and has a modern and distinctive design, unlike other cars in its class. It also has many features, but the number of cars offered for sale is very small due to its new condition, and what is available is often from dealers seeking to make a greater profit.
