Destinator debuts as Mitsubishi's latest seven-seat offering

Raising the bar for family crossovers

- By IAN MAGBANUA

Mitsubishi Motors Philippines Corporation has formally introduced the all-new Mitsubishi Destinator, a seven-seat SUV developed to serve families seeking a practical everyday vehicle with long-trip capability.

The model represents the production realization of the DST Concept unveiled at the Philippine International Motor Show last year, bringing the design study's themes into a full-market model. It arrives at a time when demand for utility-oriented vehicles continues to grow, particularly among buyers who want a blend of size, comfort, and practicality within a compact footprint.

Comfort of a car, space of an SUV

The Destinator arrives as a new nameplate under Mitsubishi's Philippine portfolio and is positioned as a crossover-influenced SUV that bridges the attributes of an MPV and a traditional sport utility vehicle. It rides on a body with SUV proportions and carries Mitsubishi's latest design language through the Dynamic Shield fascia, flanked by LED headlamps and daytime running lamps. The exterior also features sculpted character lines and 18-inch two-tone alloy wheels on higher variants, giving it a more refined appearance.
