All new Mitsubishi Expander MPV!

[StockEngine]

Anyone test driven the Xpander with 2, 4 pax and at full capacity? Really curious how a 1.5L can haul that much.

whats your current ride?

the 1.5xpander is the best in class. torq and hp are achieved at lower rpms...

I wouldn't call 105hp/141Nm as best in class. That's about the same as the Vios/Avanza engine.

The Expander has the Mitsu 4A91 engine unless it was tuned differently. With those figures, at what rpm are they rated? I bet it's peak power at 6k rpm and peak torque at 4k rpm. Rarely will you find someone who would push their rides on a day to day basis to the 4k-6k rpm range.

Just to be fair, performance of the Expander will be most likely within the Avanza category. It's enough to ferry people around at an acceptable pace.

With a gas engine that has that amount of displacement, when fully loaded, you'll feel that the engine is stressed or tries to put effort to get the load moving.

Experienced that with our city vx that has 1.5 gas engine. Pansin ko if the driver's alone or has 2 passengers, then it feels punchy or zippy from a stop. However, when it is filled with five adults, then it will feel somewhat lethargic from a full stop. Malamang ganyan din sa xpander, lalo na kung a/t.

This may be the effect of the weight on the engine eh hindi naman crdi turbo yan kaya you wouldn't feel the torque that much when fully loaded, unlike pag crdi there is abundance of torque at low rpms kaya hindi basta ramdam na stressed ang engine in that case.

In other words, kaya ng xpander siguro ang full load but don't expect it to be responsive pag galing ka sa full stop kung puno yan.

It's the same as how the Honda BR-V, Toyota Avanza and Suzuki Ertiga manages to do that ... just look at how the 1.5 liter engine is fitted in the latest Honda Accord ...

Tricycles here can haul 8 people uphill ... at crawling speed ...

Just like the Wigo..

[dr. d]

it's because the passengers are cooperative.
pag medyo hirap na, they just alight and help push 'er.

bayanihan at its best.

That 1.5L on the new Accord is turbocharged, the same engine as the Civic RS but tuned at 190+ hp. It is not the usual anaemic 1.5L NA engines used on subcompacts and small crossovers/MPVs.

Pero namamarket nga ang mobilio, brv, avanza, ertiga as a 7 seater. So probabably same performance sila kapag loaded na.

Would be a good replacement for my old FD 1.8L gas guzzler. I have a Mu-X daily driver but the wife finds it a hassle to drive in the city with the size. Added ground clearance is a plus, and the flat folding cargo is very useful for groceries.
