Disclosure: This article is part of a paid campaign by Mitsubishi Motors Philippines Corporation. Mitsubishi is, arguably, as much a part of the fabric of Philippine motoring as the iconic jeepney. Since 1963, nameplates like Lancer, Galant, Celeste, Cimarron, Pajero and many more have become permanent entries in the Filipino driving vocabulary. And through all the country’s glories and crises, the Japanese carmaker has always stayed by the Filipino’s side, bringing functional and exciting mobil

Mitsubishi will launch a hybrid version of the Mitsubishi Xpander, as mentioned during the 2024 Mitsubishi Triton launch. The mention of the Xpander hybrid was seen earlier on during the launch program for the Triton as Mitsubishi President Takao Kato quickly glossed over the brand’s plans for upcoming vehicles in the ASEAN region.

If SUVs are some of the most popular vehicles on the market, then MPVs occupy a space close behind. Such is the case for the Mitsubishi Xpander and its SUV-esque sibling, the Xpander Cross. Lumped together under the MPV category in Mitsubishi's lineup, both have become stellar performers in the Japanese brand's quest for sales supremacy in the country. Competing against the likes of the Suzuki Ertiga, Honda Mobilio, and the Toyota Avanza, the Xpander sought to be the refined small MPV for the ge

The first time the Nissan Grand Livina entered the Philippine market in 2008, it was a three-row hatchback based on the Nissan Tiida platform. It was ahead of its time in many ways, as it offered car-like handling and seating for seven. Typical of what crossovers provide today.
