28,081 units in 2025. That’s how many Mitsubishi Xpander units Filipinos bought last year, making it the #1 selling car in the entire country.
Drive anywhere in Davao and you’ll see why… they’re everywhere.
School runs, family trips, even as ride-share vehicles.
So what’s the deal?
The Mitsubishi Xpander lineup starts at ₱1,099,000 for the GLX M/T, with the GLX A/T at ₱1,159,000 and the top GLS A/T at ₱1,259,000.
That spread gives buyers real choice depending on budget, without feeling like the cheaper variants are stripped down.
All variants get high ground clearance suspension, which matters a lot here. Subdivision roads, flooded streets during rainy season, the occasional pothole on the way to wherever… the Xpander handles it without any problems.
Safety-wise, even the base trims come with ABS with EBD, Brake Assist, Active Stability Control, Traction Control, Active Yaw Control, Hill Start Assist, and dual front airbags. The top GLS adds a Multi-Around Monitor for easier parking.
Inside, it comes with a leather-wrapped steering wheel, cruise control, tilt and telescopic adjustment, an 8-inch digital meter cluster, and USB Type A and Type C ports across all three rows.
The infotainment ranges from a 7-inch touchscreen on GLX variants to a 10-inch wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto display on the GLS.
For Davao families, that combination… 7-seat practicality, high ground clearance, solid safety features, and a price below a million pesos at entry… is exactly why it stys at number 1.
This is not a flashy car.
But it works, every single day, for every kind of family errand you can think of. And that’s how the Mitsubishi Xpander became the best-selling car in the country.
