Bangkok – March 20, 2025: Mitsubishi Motors (Thailand) Co., Ltd.
recently underlined its leadership in HEVs with the debut of the ALL-NEW MITSUBISHI XFORCE HEV to the Thai market for the first time. This latest compact SUV stands out with its bold design, impressive performance, outstanding comfort, and cutting-edge technology. Developed as the next evolution of MITSUBISHI e:MOTION, it integrates three of Mitsubishi Motors' most advanced technologies, delivering an even more refined and exhilarating driving experience.

 

To ensure top-tier quality, the ALL-NEW MITSUBISHI XFORCE HEV will be produced at Mitsubishi Motors Thailand’s factory and distributed through an extensive network of over 190 authorized dealers nationwide. First launched in Indonesia in August 2023 with an internal combustion engine (ICE) model, this global strategic model has since expanded to Vietnam, the Philippines, Latin America, Africa, the Middle East, and other regions throughout 2024, solidifying its position as a key product in Mitsubishi Motors' global lineup.

 

The ALL-NEW MITSUBISHI XFORCE HEV strengthens Mitsubishi Motors’ hybrid lineup, following the success of the MITSUBISHI XPANDER HEV and MITSUBISHI XPANDER CROSS HEV, which debuted in Thailand in February 2024. This new-generation compact SUV is designed to captivate customers with its latest full hybrid powertrain, developed from Mitsubishi’s renowned plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV) system. It boasts exceptional fuel efficiency, an environmentally friendly profile, and powerful acceleration. Additionally, 7-Drive Mode with Active Yaw Control (AYC) with All-Wheel Control system, which helps calculate power distribution from the drive system and braking force to each wheel. This allows both the front and rear wheels to work in harmony, maximizing vehicle balance when cornering, ensuring safety and confidence on every road.

 

"This is the first time the ALL-NEW MITSUBISHI XFORCE HEV has been equipped with our latest full hybrid system, and we take immense pride in manufacturing this model right here in Thailand at our Laem Chabang Factory. Over the past several months, we have conducted extensive testing, covering more than 100,000 kilometers across various terrains in Thailand since last year to evaluate its durability and driving performance. Our testing team gathered valuable feedback, which our R&D engineers used to fine-tune and optimize this model. The final stage included durability tests and a specially tuned suspension system designed to perfectly suit Thailand’s diverse road conditions. At Mitsubishi Motors, quality and driving experience have always been our top priorities, and we never compromise on these standards. We sincerely hope that the ALL-NEW MITSUBISHI XFORCE HEV will excite and impress Thai customers, receiving positive feedback from the market," said Mr. Ryoichi Inaba, President & CEO of Mitsubishi Motors (Thailand) Co., Ltd.

The driver can switch between these modes manually, depending on road conditions, weather, or driving preferences.
  • Active Yaw Control (AYC) derived from Mitsubishi’s rally car technology, the Active Yaw Control (AYC) system optimizes power distribution between the left and right wheels when cornering.
