Mitsubishi Xforce 2025

Mitsubishi positions the Xforce as a right sized urban SUV with real world suspension travel and electronics that are useful in daily rain and on uneven surfaces. In Sri Lankan traffic the compact footprint and 5.2 metre turning circle make tight streets and school runs easier, while the higher seating position and good frontal visibility reduce fatigue. The 1.5 litre MIVEC is tuned for smoothness rather than thrills, and the CVT’s logic tries to mimic stepped changes so uphill climbs and downhills feel natural. The Wet mode is the quiet star, integrating traction control with Active Yaw Control to keep the nose settled when puddles and polished tarmac appear after a shower. Inside, the software experience is modern and the large central screen, the clear cluster, and the optional Yamaha tuned audio make long days in traffic more pleasant. Safety equipment is competitive, and the strong ASEAN NCAP result adds confidence for family use. The trade off is straight line shove, since the naturally aspirated engine must be worked when fully loaded or on expressway inclines, and the CVT will sound busy if you are heavy on the throttle. For buyers who value reliability roots, comfortable ride quality, and foul weather assurance over outright pace, the Xforce is an appealing all rounder that fits well with local road realities. If your usage is mostly urban with occasional long trips, and you appreciate a calm cabin with useful technology, it deserves a place on your shortlist.
