The Mitsubishi Xpander is a seven-seat compact MPV designed and manufactured in Indonesia by Mitsubishi Motors. The design was previewed by the XM Concept that was first displayed at the 24th Gaikindo Indonesia International Auto Show in August 2016. The official teaser images of the car were revealed on the Mitsubishi Motors website on July 17, 2017.[1] The car was unveiled in Jakarta on July 24, 2017[2] and debuted on August 10, 2017 at the 25th Gaikindo Indonesia International Auto Show.[3] The car went on sale in Indonesia on October 3, 2017 and has been exported to the Philippines, Thailand, Vietnam, Bolivia, Peru, Myanmar, Bangladesh, Egypt and Sri Lanka.[4] A redesigned variant of the Xpander, with mainly different front and rear fascias is sold by Nissan as the second generation Livina in Indonesia since February 2019.[5][6]

The Xpander is available in crossover SUV-inspired variant called Xpander Cross. It was launched in Jakarta, Indonesia on November 12, 2019. Like the standard variant, it is also planned to be exported to other countries.[7][8]

Xpander AP4

The Xpander AP4 is a rally car that will compete in the Asia-Pacific Rally Championship in the AP4 class. It was first shown as the prototype at the 27th Telkomsel Indonesia International Motor Show through April to May 2019.[21][22][23][24][25] The exterior has been modified to meet FIA AP4 rally standards. The interior has been stripped down and the roll cage has been added. The air conditioning and other unnecessary features has also been removed. The race-ready version of the car was shown at the 27th Gaikindo Indonesia International Auto Show in July 2019.[26] It is powered by a de-bored and de-stroked 2.0 L 4B11 engine to the displacement of 1.6 L and produced 261 kW (350 hp; 355 PS) and 556 N⋅m (410 lb⋅ft) of torque with the power transferred to the four-wheel drive system.

The team then would use a Lancer Evolution VI spare car to be still able to compete in the rally.[27][28][29][30][31] The Xpander AP4 has a claimed development cost of more than Rp 4,000,000,000 (approximately US$288,000 as of July 2019).[32]
