[8][9] Built on the same platform as the Xpander MPV, the Xforce uses an updated Mitsubishi Motors design language up front, being the latest evolution of the 'Dynamic Shield' theme.

[10] According to Mitsubishi Motors, Xforce is specifically tuned to offer heightened ride comfort on Southeast Asian roads, using a larger caster trail and quicker OA gear ratio in the front suspension, along with bigger-diameter rear shock absorbers.

According to Takao Kato, president and CEO of Mitsubishi Motors, the company is working on an electrified variant of the SUV in the future, which may be launched in regions outside of ASEAN.

[11] Production of the Xforce started in October 2023 at MMKI plant in Cikarang, West Java, with first batch of the vehicle being handed to customers on 19 November 2023.
