Three years later, the Xpander’s sales numbers are still going strong as it is hailed as the best-selling unit in June 2021. The 7-seater MPV finished with 794 units in June, reflecting a 62 percent increase as compared to its May sales. Overall, MMPC posted 2,933 units sold for the month.
It managed to best the Mitsubishi L300 who is a frequent top-seller for almost every month this year. In fact, the ever-dependable commercial vehicle (CV) clinched the number one spot in the brand’s sales in the first half of 2021.
An ideal choice for Filipino families
MMPC is offering the Mitsubishi Xpander at a starting price of Php 1,008,000 for the base GLX MT variant and goes up to Php 1,128,000 for the top-of-the-line GLS AT variant. For a more rugged-looking MPV, the Mitsubishi Xpander Cross is the go-to option with a Php 1,255,000 price tag.
“We are very fortunate to receive such strong support from the market. We truly appreciate the trust and confidence that they show for our brand. We are also thankful for the amazing efforts our dealer partners are making to reinforce the strong number two position of Mitsubishi Motors,” said MMPC President and CEO Takeshi Hara.
“Our customers can trust that MMPC is committed to reciprocate the strong patronage by providing dedicated customer service,” added Hara.
The Xpander once again proves to be a worthy addition to the PH lineup
In addition, MMPC has extended its “Downpour Deals” promo until the end of July. This promo provides flexible payment schemes on the 7-seater MPV including a Php 58,000 all-in low down payment offer. Other Mitsubishi vehicles such as the Montero Sport, L300, Strada, Mirage G4, and Mirage hatchback are included in the promo.
