The First-Ever Mitsubishi Xpander Car Made in Bangladesh

Mitsubishi Xpander Car Made in Bangladesh

Good news for all car enthusiasts in Bangladesh! Rancon Auto Industries Limited has introduced the very first domestically assembled Mitsubishi Xpander in Bangladesh as early as June 29, 2025. This ain’t all about the brand or the firm—a victory for the whole car industry and, you know what matters the most, you, the car buyer in Bangladesh.

Through this price correction, the mass-appealer Japanese car has thus very competitively priced itself, as low as Tk34 lakh. That’s significantly lower than its earlier price range as high as Tk44.5 lakh, and now it competes in the market for brand-new vehicles directly with some Chinese budget-oriented car manufacturers. Best of all, this price decrease now makes it the cheapest Japanese-brand brand-new car you can buy in Bangladesh today.

So, what’s so unique about this 2025 model Mitsubishi Xpander? Well, look closely at what all the 2025 Xpander has in store—from features and power all the way through comfort and aesthetics and why it may yet become the ultimate car for the Bangladeshi streets.

Well-Timed Launch Spices Up Senses

It couldn’t have come at a better time either. For the previous couple of years, the automobile market in Bangladesh had been battered by increasing US dollar exchange value. Those foreign-impounded vehicles, and in particular, the Japanese make, saw prices go berserk, and some Previously affordable vehicles were now too expensive for the mass population. Even the Mitsubishi Xpander was affected this way. It had gained popularity ever since it was introduced back in 2018, and had seen some makeovers in between. But the price continued to increase consistently as well, and by the previous year, this latest edition had reached as steep as Tk44.5 lakh.

With indigenous assembly coming into the fray, Mitsubishi and Rancon Auto Industries have clearly flipped the odds. Not only has the price come down but now the customer has better assurance as regards indigenous servicing, availability of their spare parts and warranty backup – things which aren’t necessarily assured when they purchase reconditioned imports.

Four Additional Versions You can Choose from

In accordance with individual preferences and needs, Mitsubishi Bangladesh has unveiled the Xpander in four distinct individual variants:

  • Eco
  • Sport
  • Best
  • Classic

Both are in their respective feature list so customers can select what they think will work best for them—a budget model or one that has better finishes.

Exterior Architecture: Clever, Powerful, and Chic

What strikes you instantly about the Xpander is that it’s muscular and sheer in styling. Its sharp sharp front headlights and front grille give the car tough but classy look. It’s tempered—a minimalist, modern, and classy look. 220mm ground clearance positions the car in raised, adventurous attitude, which feels as cool as it does in traversing speed breakers, potholes, and patchy road surfaces, best in non-urban or sub-urban locations.

Its side profile has been made sporty as you can and classy as you want it, and the 17-inch wheel provides it very excellent road hold. Its back features narrow tail lights and sassy rear bumper and reflectors, which come with safety as well as some pizzazz.

It seems as if the Xpander itself has been designed for contemporary families and has functional and aesthetic requirements.

Interieur Raum: Grosse, Nutzbarer, Und Bereit Für

Once you’re in though, the Mitsubishi Xpander will delight time and time again. In there it becomes spacious, comfy, and extremely user friendly. It’s all clever but understated in its build. There are no flashy, finicky buttons and jammed full controls but what you’d otherwise expect they should be, all of which serve positively when driving and when riding.

A Genuine 7-Seater Vehicle

Where all but most 7- seaters in showrooms sardine in the back, the Xpandler feels spacious for seven occupants. Its seat in three rows feels considerate, and there’s lots of leg and headroom in all rows. Even tall adults fit in the third row and don’t sardine. For road trips or picking children up after school, this car can do it all.

Technology Features: All-Year-Round Seamless Connectivity

At centre dash, you do receive a 10.36-inch touch screen infotainment system, and it accepts wired Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Good news for you if you are tech-savvy and would like to tether your phone for music, directions, or hands-free phone.

It has a responsive and user-friendly touchscreen—not flashy but it’s not understated either. It’s functional, like the car itself.

Comfort Comes First

Soft-padded doors and dashboard and cushion-padded seats virtually ensure comfort as the dominant factor. Front seats as standard come with height and lumbar support adjustments and long motor trips will be extremely kind to the back as a consequence.

There’s the possibility you can upgrade seat material to leather so it can look like something better. But the basic fabric material itself is good quality and seems robust anyway.

Intelligent Airflow with 4 Rear Air Conditioning Vents

One major advantage, particularly in our hot climate, is the air-conditioning system. Although some 7-seaters cool the front seats and little else, the Xpander has four ceiling mountable outlets for the back occupants. As a result, cold air gets all the way back through the third row, so all occupants stay cool—even in summer in Dhaka or all the way south in Cox’s Bazaar.

In spite of the shortfall in the element of accommodating a sunroof or moonroof, the considerate interior and efficient cooling make up for it generously.

Storage: Space for Everything

Another plus point for the Xpander can be experienced in very clever space utilization. There are myriad and numerous compartments all throughout the cabin:

  • Drink holders/Furniture
  • Door pouches
  • Center console
  • Glove box

Under-seat storage in front passenger seat area

No matter if you store items like snacks, water bottles, electronics, or toys for the kids, there’s space for all. And when you need storage for something larger, you do rapid folds in the second and third rows so you have convenient storage spots.

Engine and Performance: Refined and Smooth

Underneath the hood is a 1499cc 4A91 DOHC MIVEC engine—a tried and tested engine in Mitsubishi’s case. It’s paired with 4-speed automatic transmission which though may be old when pitted side by side with contemporary CVTs or dual-clutch transmissions, gets the job done time and time again and reliably.

The powerplant provides:

  • 105 bhp at 6000 rpm
  • 141 Nm power at 4000 rpm

No, it’s no race car. But there can be no pretensions about the Xpander in this regard. It’s about regular day motoring, laddered routes, and usability and not highway thrills. It copes through inner-city traffic, climbs gradients happily, and provides decent milage for volume and class.

Drivability: Best for Roads in Bangladesh

What makes the Xpander unique is its smooth handling in Bangladesh’s challenging road conditions. And it’s all because of its:

  • 220mm ground clearance
  • 17-inch alloy wheels
  • Stable suspension tuning

It rides smoothly across potholes and speed breakers and patches and doesn’t break a sweat. Even when it’s crowded with passengers and luggage, the car rides road soft, and this counts if you drive frequently off the metropolis or in cities when streets haven’t been patched very well.

Fuel Efficiency There

While actual in-road fuel mileage will vary depending upon traffic, driving styles, and payload, you can look at the Xpander yielding some respectable fuel economy for this 7-seater in this class—a class it enters as an auto variant as well.

Peace and Safety of Mind

It has all the required safety features as follows:

  • Anti-lock Braking System (ABS)
  • Electronic Brake-force Distribution (EBD)
  • Dual airbags
  • Rear parking sensors

Strengthened Body Structure

By manufacturing locally, Mitsubishi Bangladesh also provides you with enhanced after-sale services, genuine spare parts access and official warranties which you will never encounter when purchasing most used imports.

Who Is It For?

Best fit for Mitsubishi Xpander are:

  • Households with children
  • Rideshare or carpool drivers
  • Anyone seeking a proven, full-featured 7-seater should look
  • People who frequently commute with luggage or in-laws

There are some seeking their next Japanese automobile they don’t possess.

Final Thoughts: Stretched Value in Stretched Package

The 2025 Mitsubishi Xpander trump any single vehicle—it’s the intelligent purchase in this generation and age. It provides you Japanese reliability, space, comfortability, usability, and beautiful aesthetics, and all this represents money’s worth in price for the very first time in ages.

It’s not only cheaper—but it has better support, warranty, and confidence. And in an industry where consumers were cornered into accepting either reconditioned imports with no warranty at all or new vehicles by unknown brand names, what the Xpander provides has long been absent.

Whether you are running some errands in the urban region, cruising back into your village during Eid, or away with the entire tribe during holiday, the Xpander will bring you there in complete preparedness and promptness.
