It’s the full five ASEAN NCAP stars for the Mitsubishi Destinator, the seven-seat Xforce-based SUV you saw at Indonesia’s GIIAS 2025.
This comes as the 2021-2025 assessment protocol is drawing to a close – the 2026-2030 one will start in January. The car, an Indonesian-assembled one for domestic consumption as well as export to the Philippines and Vietnam, was crash-tested at the Japan Automobile Research Institute last month.
77.27 points is the total score (34.69 out of 40 points for adults, 16.54 out of 20 for children, 15.02 out of 20 for safety assist and 11.02 out of 20 for motorcyclists).
ASEAN NCAP notes that all Destinator variants have at least four airbags, ESC, ABS, front and rear seat belt reminders, pedestrian protection and ISOFIX, and available either standard or optionally are inter-urban AEB, city AEB, forward collision warning, blind spot detection, auto high beam and lane departure warning.
The front-wheel-drive CR-V-sized vehicle has a 163 PS/250 Nm 4B40 1.5 litre turbo four-cylinder engine and a CVT. Indonesia has three variants priced between 385 million and 465 million rupiah (RM95k-115k).
Malaysia’s still waiting for the Xforce, but the Destinator’s a bigger vehicle that seats seven – a capability that means something in this market. Would you rather this over the Xforce?
