TAIPEI: Mitsubishi Motors Corp has launched the Xforce compact SUV (sport utility vehicle) in Taiwan.
Manufactured at China Motor Corp's (CMC) Yangmei Plant, this launch marks the first time in nine years that Mitsubishi Motors has introduced a newly developed, locally produced model to the Taiwanese market.
CMC is Mitsubishi Motors' production and sales partner in Taiwan.
The Xforce is a five-seater compact SUV that was developed based on the concept "Best-suited buddy for an exciting life."
Following its launch in Indonesia in November 2023, the Xforce was introduced to other Asean countries such as Vietnam and the Philippines, as well as Latin America, Africa, and the Middle East.
As one of Mitsubishi Motors’ global strategic models, with cumulative sales of 62,000 units, it has earned praise for its stylish yet robust SUV design, offering a spacious and comfortable five-passenger cabin while maintaining a manoeuvrable, compact body size.
The Xforce meets Taiwan's Euro 6c emissions standards and offers distinctive features, including an integrated Level-2 equivalent advanced driver assistance system that combines Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) and Lane Keep Assist (LKA), a large 10.25-inch digital display, and a blue body colour developed specifically for Taiwan.
“We have developed a special version of the Xforce for the Taiwanese market, where we have worked alongside CMC for more than 60 years,“ said Mitsubishi Motors executive vice president Tatsuo Nakamura.
"Reservations have already exceeded our initial projections, and we are truly excited to deliver this model to our customers in Taiwan.”
