Mitsubishi Motors introduces new-concept vehicle

The XFC promotes ease of handling and ample cargo space, and comfort, including class-leading interior space and safety, secure road and rough surface handling even on wet slippery surfaces.

“The launch of the new compact SUV will be sequentially in the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (Asean) markets including Vietnam in 2023,” said Jeffrey Allison, the general manager: marketing at Mitsubishi Motors South Africa (MMSA). “An electrified variant to the line-up is also planned and to also roll it out in regions outside Asean. We hope to grow the model from a vehicle for the Asean market to a global strategic vehicle which will include South Africa, making it a core model like our sales-leading Xpander crossover MPV.”

Powerful and imposing design

The Mitsubishi XFC Concept combines a compact, yet powerful and imposing aura of an SUV with a sleek surface that forms one continuous flow, starting from the three-diamond emblem on the front and extending to the sides and rear.

Its stylish and sporty profile matches the cityscapes. In addition, with enhanced road handling on rough surfaces thanks to ample ground clearance and large-diameter wheels, the Mitsubishi XFC Concept expresses both toughness and agility while featuring an authentic SUV styling that stands out in outdoor scenes.

The interior offers ease of operation and comfort – essential for an SUV. The instrument panel has a horizontally themed design, making it easier to sense changes in the vehicle’s posture when driving on rough surfaces while also improving forward visibility. Meanwhile, the dynamic design extending from the instrument panel to the door trim, along with a series of soft padding, give a sense of enclosure and protection to create a secure and comfortable interior.

Comfort provided by class-leading interior space

Although it is a compact SUV, the Mitsubishi XFC Concept comes with a spacious cabin area, generous legroom in the rear seats and offers top-level comfort in its class. Moreover, everyone on board can feel safe and reassured, with vehicle stability control in slippery road conditions and high-quality ride comfort.

Safe and reliable driving on rough and flooded roads

With plenty of ground clearance and four drive modes – normal, wet, gravel and mud – the Mitsubishi XFC Concept offers a fun, safe and secure ride in various weather and road conditions. The wet mode, introduced for the first time in a Mitsubishi vehicle, is designed with use in Asean countries in mind, such as enabling safe driving even on roads flooded by sudden showers.
