Mitsubishi is preparing to launch the XForce HEV, a compact hybrid SUV that promises to make its mark in the urban segment with one of the best fuel consumption rates in the category: up to 24 km/l. With a modern look and dimensions similar to the Toyota Yaris Cross, the new model will be officially presented at the Bangkok International Motor Show in March 2025, according to Quatro Rodas reports.

The Mitsubishi XForce HEV will be one of the highlights of the Japanese automaker at the Thai event, as part of its strategy to expand its presence in Southeast Asia. Although there is no forecast for launch in Brazil, the model is already drawing attention for its efficiency and the balance between operational costs and embedded technology.

According to Mitsubishi itself, the XForce HEV will have dimensions very similar to those of the Toyota Yaris Cross, a direct competitor in the B-SUV segment. The model will be positioned below the Outlander, with about 4.39 meters in length and a wheelbase of 2.65 meters, making it ideal for cities with heavy traffic while not compromising on interior space and size.

Hybrid Powertrain Focused on Efficiency

The XForce HEV combines a 1.5 combustion engine with an electric motor coupled to an e-CVT transmission, similar to the configuration used in Toyota models. The system provides a combined power of approximately 114 hp, according to information from the specialized portal Click Petróleo e Gás.

What stands out is the consumption performance: the model is designed to achieve up to 24 km per liter, especially in urban use — a competitive figure even among conventional hybrids. Mitsubishi has not yet confirmed official acceleration and total range figures, but the promise is for excellent performance with low emissions.

Embedded Technology and Refined Interior

The interior of the Mitsubishi XForce HEV has been designed to deliver comfort and technology. According to information from the automaker, the dashboard is digital, and the multimedia system features an interface compatible with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, as well as a sound system with special acoustic treatment.

The SUV will also come with a robust list of driver assistance features, including:

Adaptive Cruise Control
Automatic Emergency Braking System
Blind Spot Monitoring
Lane Departure Warning

Premium fabric seats, digital air conditioning, and distinct driving modes should be offered from the entry-level versions.

When Will It Arrive and Where Will It Be Sold?

The premiere of the Mitsubishi XForce HEV will be in March 2025 at the Bangkok Motor Show in Thailand. The country will be the first market to receive the model, and it is expected to reach other regions of Southeast Asia shortly thereafter. Production will be done locally, reducing import costs and adapting the car to the needs of the region.

However, Mitsubishi has not yet confirmed if the model will come to Brazil. According to journalist Jorge Moraes from UOL Carros, the brand is assessing the national public’s interest in smaller hybrid SUVs, but is still betting more on models like the Eclipse Cross Hybrid for the Brazilian market.

Discovery in Africa scares even scientists: a study published on April 23 reveals that the crust in Turkana has become so thin that it could pave the way for the continent’s division and the emergence of an ocean in the future, in a gigantic geological transformation.

Japanese garbage collectors treat filthy trucks as if they were dealership cars, and the obsession with cleanliness is so absurd that they invented a washing machine that only exists for this type of vehicle.

India built a 21.8-kilometer sea bridge to connect Mumbai to Navi Mumbai, and a journey of up to 120 minutes fell to about 20.

South America’s most famous oasis has an emerald lagoon formed by underground waters in the Peruvian desert. It is located 300 km from Lima, is surrounded by giant dunes, and holds a mysterious mermaid legend.

The electric classic fever resurrected Kombi, Fusca and other street icons, created a billion-dollar market of nostalgia on wheels, and angered collectors who see restomods as an assault against the soul of classics.

The gigantic supersonic Concorde flew so fast that 100 wealthy Americans booked an entire flight to outrun the sunset, pop champagne at Mach 2, and celebrate New Year’s three times.
