Mitsubishi Xpander 2019: Oodles of space inside
While it’s indeed a looker-on the inside, we highly appreciate the Xpander’s interior space. The second-row seats and even the third-row seats have excellent legroom. Note that currently, the Xpander car is the longest and the widest when compared to other currently available compact MPVs.
As we've said before, the Xpander's dashboard is well arranged. The handbrake's a bit too far away though
In terms of interior arrangement, the Mitsubishi Xpander’s dashboard, center console, and steering wheel are well put together and complement each other’s designs. In totality, the front cabin is far from being an eyesore.
The only weakness the Xpander’s interior has, however, is how the handbrake lever is positioned on far from the driver favoring the right. The Xpander, after all, is designed and built-in Indonesia.
It's got room enough for seven people. And if you fold down the third row, it folds down flat thus optimizing cargo space
