I love how overtaking was highlighted here. People tend to dis the Xpander with its 4AT, but even I was surprised when I first drove this model (and it was even the slightly heavier Cross). It responds immediately to the command of your right foot even without burying the gas pedal. And to consume 17-18km/l while running 90-100 on expressways in cruise control(!) is also another thing in here. You'll see Avanzas and BRVs supposedly doing 19-21km/l but usually on speeds of more or less 80km/h. Experienced it myself to consume the former mentioned figures at slightly higher speed, again in cruise control which is why it is really a must for gas MPV's.
@VR JA wasn't talking about power here, that's already given and obvious. What I was talking here about is how easy can one respond to your right foot's commands, which is important for vehicles like this to have. And as for your other reply, I've already driven both.
Xpander users will defend its 4 speed auto but once you get used to a CVT or a DSG feel of "not really shifting and smoothness" in the city -which is 90% of our drives in the metro, theres no really going back. Hopefully the cross does get the CVT next year.
Not saying that the 4 speed auto is better than the cvt or dual clutch, but those other transmissions while smoother for cruising have their issues, cvt's have that droning sound and disconnect between progress and when your putting your gas pedal to the floor. Dual clutches are smooth going up the ratios, not so much going down. Both of them are quite expensive to fix if they decide to die. The issue i have with a 4 speed AT is that on those highway trips if its not tuned properly the revs are high past 75kph.
All pretty valid points. Here's to MMPH putting a cvt option in 2023, but think about it the only reason they did it is to save money. I mean cmon, if indonesian and indian xpanders have cvt then maybe we should have it too.
I was her when I first found out that electronic parking break and auto hold was a thing. Also, push start stop, though I did have concerns about that particular feature
@@mindfreeze0838 At the time, "What if someone manages to break in, then they can just push a button to start?" Of course, I did not know key FOBs were a thing then
The new BRV is CVT and if you're gonna watch Ai's recent review, it didn't complement the Honda's "most powerful" engine well. With the 4AT, it might be a tad less smooth but you're rest assured about the torque delivery to be more accessible.
@@buciritchan5401 well interior not much a different pero in terms of safety features agree veloz won, but in overall I think xpander will value your money. However, it is still depends prin tlga sa budget and the purpose Ng buyer.
@@kired20 bruh they don't compete lol yes the Innova is an MPV but that doesn't automatically mean they compete again it's like saying that an Everest competes with the Expedition just because they're both SUV's lol.

This is a good idea for episodes, suggesting vehicles for different types of drivers with different needs.
Fan of Zoe from her Tulad Ng Dati/DSK days! Also great video for the new Xpander!

you mean the 22 cross right? Is the 2023 xpander cross already available here?
Test drove the xpander in the city, may I know the RPM when its on 100 and 120km/h speeds in w/c Iusually use in sctex and tplex?

This kind of episode is more enjoyable to watch. More to this series 👍

@@testtestph i think they kept it because cvts would up the pricing too much.
I really like this segment.
First! Pretty Zoe..and the expander as well..😍

What were your concerns about push button start?

The camera and lighting is extra better in this video. 🤔
Mas maganda sana yang Mitsubishi Xpander 2023 kung naka CVT na.

PRNDL 😅🤣
Veloz better than this because velos is all new this xpander 2023 model is face-lifted
🤣
But the xpander beat the veloz in the up hill based on the test from Indonesian car review 🤣
Maybe in terms of safety pero sa comfort i doubt better sya
@@saretsaret249 ibig ko po sabihin sa design panalo veloz kse all new
@@buciritchan5401 well interior not much a different pero in terms of safety features agree veloz won, but in overall I think xpander will value your money. However, it is still depends prin tlga sa budget and the purpose Ng buyer.
Nice concept for an episode. Ok yung ganitong format na concise enough para i highlight ang features ng car for a specific buyer
I cant agree more! Mas enjoy panoorin. Cheers 🥂
Xpander is nothing to the new gen toyota innova.
Both not in the same category, it's like comparing a Everest to a Expedition.
@@keyner111 anong wala sa category, Prehas sila mpv at sa price range ay magkaparehas lang din...
