Mitsubishi Xpander
|
Toyota Avanza
|
If there is any radical-looking MUV which has been launched in recent times, it has to be the Mitsubishi Xpander. The frontal view of the Xpander looks super stylish with the sleek daytime running LEDs and grille, as well as unique vertical headlamps, positioned slightly upper on the front bumper.
The Mitsubishi Xpander keeps form and function on an equal priority, as the vehicle feels very practical on the inside as well, apart from having a tremendous visual appeal on the outside. The Mitsubishi Xpander feels comfortable for all the seven passengers on board with enough room for all of them.
Keeping its targeted audience in mind, the suspension setup of the Mitsubishi Xpander has been tuned on a softer side, which do make the overall ride quality plush and comfortable.
The 1.5 liter petrol engine under the hood of the Mitsubishi Xpander is good enough in returning a fuel economy of 22.9 kmpl, which is simply excellent for a seven seater MUV
Despite its compact dimensions, the Toyota Avanza comfortably seats seven full passengers with ample space in all the three rows, which indicates how cleverly engineered the inner cabin of the Avanza is. The third row of Toyota Avanza feels spacious enough for adults as well, while at the same time, folding the third row opens up to an incredibly spacious boot.
The recent facelift which the Toyota Avanza got has made the front end of the MUV look very stylish. The introduction of bi-LED headlamps with split-in-between design of them, along with bolder and bigger looking front grille with redesigned fog lamp housings, definitely has added some character to the front fascia.
The new Toyota Avanza now also gets some premium features, the absence of which did make the previous model very boring from the inside. The introduction of a much-enhanced touch screen infotainment system with Apple Carplay and Android Auto, roof-mounted monitor for rear passengers and automatic climate control are some features which have now uplifted the overall in-cabin experience of the Avanza.
The Mitsubishi Xpander looks very attractive and futuristic as far as its exterior design is concerned. However, the interior cabin of the Xpander falls short on expectations. The dashboard looks tad too boring, and the staid looking fonts in instrument console and boxy looking center console could have styled a bit better.
Apart from the presence of cruise control and a touchscreen infotainment system, there are no other special and prominent comfort and convenience features in the Mitsubishi Xpander.
Despite the introduction of some premium comfort and convenience features, the new Toyota Avanza’s dashboard and cabin layout still feel too simple and staid for a car of this size.
Apart from the front fascia, Toyota hasn’t changed the side and rear profiles much, which continue to look a bit bland when viewed in isolation
The new Toyota Avanza continues to be powered with the same 1.5-litre petrol engine, which is known for its boring driving experience. The figures seem strong on paper, but don’t feel so engaging in its linear power delivery.
