The latest model MMPC brought in is the new Mitsubishi Xpander Cross facelift, coming with a more aggressive exterior design and a revised interior. Apart from those changes, the 7-seater MPV now gets a new safety feature called Active Yaw Control (AYC), which is adapted from the Lancer Evolution series.

These models are offered to Filipinos through the automaker’s 69 dealerships across the country. MMPC promises to expand its dealership network as a way to support its goal of bringing a Mitsubishi vehicle to every Filipino.
