Set for a launch sometime next fiscal year (between April 2023 to March 2024) and assembled in ASEAN, the XFC Concept features the Japanese carmaker’s “Robust & Ingenious” design concept. This gives the yet-to-be-finalized SUV a powerful, yet sleek look.

Serving as the focal point is the three-diamond emblem upfront, and from there, it extends to the sides and rear. As with current Mitsubishi models, the XFC Concept wears the Dynamic Shield design concept. It has L-shaped headlights with louver-like DRLs that form a T-shape, akin to the Xpander. The same T-shape re-appears in the rear combination lamps giving it styling that accentuates stability and width.

Mitsubishi says the XFC Concept is defined by ease of operation—essential for an SUV. The instrument panel takes on a horizontal design theme with a large display panel integrating a full digital driver display. Furthermore, it promises a spacious cabin with top-level comfort, especially in the back seat.

With plenty of ground clearance and four drive modes — Normal, Wet, Gravel, and Mud — the Mitsubishi XFC Concept offers a fun, safe, and secure ride. The Wet mode, introduced for the first time in a Mitsubishi vehicle, is designed with use in ASEAN countries in mind, such as enabling safe driving even on roads flooded by sudden showers.

Mitsubishi says the XFC Concept complements the wide range of products tailored to the ASEAN market such as the Strada/Triton pickup truck and its derivative, the Montero Sport/Pajero Sport midsize SUV; the Outlander and Outlander PHEVs; the Xpander and Xpander Cross crossover MPVs; and the Mirage compact hatchback and its variant, the Attrage/Mirage G4.
