Exterior
The XForce bares Mitsubishi’s next-generation Dynamic Shield design, with a large T-shaped headlight up front complemented by the black, gaping grille. There’s a gray trim on the front bumper and underbody cladding all around—these are both mimicked at the rear.
In terms of dimensions, the XForce measures 4,390m long, 1,810mm wide, and 1,660mm tall with a 2,650mm wheelbase. Ground clearance is listed at 193mm, and curb weight is at 1,250kg for the GT trim and 1,235kg for the GLS. The vehicle also sits on 18-inch two-tone alloy wheels shod in 255/50 R18 tires.
Interior
Inside, the XForce is adorned with a nice mix of colors and materials. Majority of the cabin features a black finish, with a few silver and bronze accents here and there. There’s black and gray fabric on the seats for the GLS, while the GT gets seats stitched in black and brown synthetic leather. There’s added texture on the dash thanks to the fabric trim.
The driver’s seat has a six-way manual adjustment while the passenger gets four-way manual adjustment. At the rear, it gets 40:20:40 folding seats with an eight-step recline and full-flat folding functions.
Engine and specs
Powering the XForce is a familiar 1.5-liter four-cylinder MIVEC gasoline engine that puts out 103hp at 6,000rpm and 141Nm of torque at 4,000rpm. This is the same setup found in the Xpander and Xpander Cross, only this one gets a CVT instead of a traditional automatic transmission.
The XForce comes standard with MacPherson struts with a coil spring and a stabilizer up front and a torsion beam out back. Stopping power is handled by disc brakes all around.
Extra features
Coming standard in the XForce is a 12.3-inch infotainment system with Android Auto and wireless Apple CarPlay mated to an eight-speaker Yamaha setup. There’s one USB-A and one USB-C charging port in both the first and second rows, and the top-spec GT variant gets a wireless charger added to the mix.
In the safety department, the top-spec GT gets forward-collision warning with autonomous emergency braking, lead-car departure notification, blind-spot warning, rear cross-traffic alert, auto high beam, and a rear cross-traffic alert. The XForce also comes standard with a reversing camera, but only the GT gets rear proximity sensors. Standard here as well are active yaw control and hill-start assist.
