With the average distance of 236.58km, the manual Xpander 2018 recorded 21.01 kilometer per liter (km/L) while the automatic version netted 22.94 km /L.

That performance of the Mitsubishi Xpander 2018 is quite impressive, especially when the automatic version works with only a 4-speed transmission. That said, the 1.5L DOHC gasoline powertrain seems to be an economical unit.
