2025 Mitsubishi Xpander HEV Play, injects sporty elements without power increase

In terms of appearance, not much needs to be changed on the Mitsubishi Xpander, as this minivan already boasts a sporty design.

However, in the Thai market, there is a far sportier version of the Xpander HEV, thanks to the addition of an aggressive body kit specifically designed for motorsport enthusiasts.

Named the Xpander HEV Play, this three-row MPV features enhancements to its front bumper, including larger air intakes and an integrated splitter.

The Dynamic Shield design element is given a black finish, complemented by the same treatment on the headlight housing and alloy wheels.

Meanwhile, the rear section comes equipped with a diffuser, roof spoiler, and clear lens light housing with a smoky effect.

The same offerings are also provided on the Xpander Cross HEV, where this crossover MPV can be distinguished by protective plastic wheel arch cladding, roof rails, and a different grille and front bumper finish.

For the Xpander HEV, color options include White Diamond or Graphite Gray, while the Xpander Cross HEV is offered in an additional Green Bronze color.

Despite its sporty appearance, the Xpander HEV Play (as well as the Cross variant) does not receive any power upgrades.

This means that the 1.6-liter hybrid engine still produces a total output of 116 hp and 255 Nm, driving the front wheels through an eCVT transmission.

Pricing starts at THB 981,000 (RM 128,626), which is slightly higher compared to the base model Xpander HEV.
