Destinator
Destinator Launch Event in Ho Chi Minh City1
Tokyo, December 3, 2025 – Mitsubishi Motors Corporation (hereafter, Mitsubishi Motors) announced that Mitsubishi Motors Vietnam Co., Ltd. (MMV), a subsidiary of Mitsubishi Motors in Vietnam, began sales of the all-new Destinator on December 1. Mitsubishi Motors plans to introduce the model to further ASEAN markets, as well as South Asia, Latin America, the Middle East, and Africa, ultimately introducing it in approximately 70 countries.
Developed with the product concept "Confidence Booster for Energetic Families," the all-new Destinator is a seven-seater midsize SUV featuring a spacious three-row layout. It was named the Destinator in the hopes that it will empower drivers and their beloved families to pursue new destinations with confidence. The Destinator combines a refined, authentic SUV design with a spacious, premium interior that ensures comfort for everyone on board. It also delivers powerful, exhilarating acceleration and safe, reliable driving performance across various road and weather conditions.
"For over three decades, MMV has continued to grow with strength and consistency," said Tomoki Yanagawa, general director of MMV. "In recent years, models like the Xpander and Xforce have earned widespread acclaim from our customers. With the all-new Destinator, combining the strength of an SUV with the comfort of an MPV, we sincerely hope the model will become a trusted companion for families in Vietnam, providing comfort and adventure for everyone on the journey."
Since its launch in Indonesia in July this year, the all-new Destinator has shown a promising start, with approximately 12,000 orders in four months – surpassing this fiscal year's sales target of 10,000 units2. Following its introduction in the Philippines on November 20, the Vietnam launch aims to further strengthen Mitsubishi Motors' presence in ASEAN markets. Additionally, the model has earned the gold award in the Best Industrial Product Design category at the VMARK Vietnam Design Award 20253. This marks the third time Mitsubishi Motors has received the gold award at VMARK, following the Xforce in 2023 and Triton in 2024.
