‘All-New Mitsubishi XFORCE HEV’ Model Earns The Highest Rating of Five Stars in 2024 ASEAN NCAP

Bangkok – April 7, 2025: Mitsubishi Motors Corporation (hereafter, Mitsubishi Motors) announced that the new hybrid electric vehicle (HEV) model of the All-New Mitsubishi XFORCE HEV compact SUV has earned a maximum five-star rating in the 2024 ASEAN NCAP¹ — a comprehensive safety performance assessment for new vehicles in the ASEAN region — following the same top rating received by the gasoline model earlier in 2024.

 

Mitsubishi Motors remains committed to its safety-oriented philosophy of achieving a mobility society with zero traffic accidents through continued efforts to develop and popularize safety technologies and to spread knowledge about traffic safety.

The All-New Mitsubishi XFORCE HEV model is equipped with Mitsubishi Motors' advanced driver assistance system, Mitsubishi Motors Safety Sensing. It features six advanced safety functions, including Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC), Forward Collision Mitigation system (FCM), Blind Spot Warning with Lane Change Assist (BSW / LCA), Rear Cross Traffic Alert (RCTA), Automatic High Beam (AHB), and Lead Car Departure Notification (LCDN), providing a high level of preventive safety performance. In addition, the All-New Mitsubishi XFORCE HEV ensures collision safety performance with the high-rigidity RISE² body, which absorbs impact energy and minimizes cabin deformation in the event of a crash, along with six SRS airbags.

 

The All-New Mitsubishi XFORCE HEV model, premiered in Thailand in March 2025, is based on the Xforce³ originally launched in Indonesia in 2023 and is now equipped with an HEV system. This compact five-seat SUV was developed around the concept of being the “best-suited buddy for an exciting life” and is equipped with an HEV system derived from the brand’s renowned plug-in hybrid EV (PHEV) technology. It features higher fuel economy, eco-friendliness, and powerful acceleration. Additionally, Active Yaw Control (AYC), seven drive modes, and other all-wheel control technologies complement the front-wheel drivetrain to enable safe and secure driving in various situations.
