Mitsubishi’s latest upcoming SUV may still be a month away from launch, but it’s allowing interested customers to get a sneak peek ahead of time. Mitsubishi Motors Philippines Corporation (MMPC) will be bringing the Destinator to several locations in the country for people to see in the metal.
Family-oriented SUV
Set to launch in the Philippines on Nov. 20, 2025, following its global debut in Indonesia last July 17, the Destinator is poised to challenge the mid-size SUV segment. It will introduce bold new styling, advanced safety features, and premium comfort to meet the evolving needs of Filipino families.
Few details have been released but what we can tell you is that this SUV will be a seven-seater. It will have five drive modes like the XForce it is based on: Normal, Tarmac, Wet, Gravel, and Mud. It will also have advanced safety features like ABS, EBD, traction control, and Active Yaw Control. The top-of-the-line model will have a panoramic sunroof and Mitsubishi Connect, a feature that lets you connect to the car with your smart phone, the first Mitsubishi to have this feature.
The official public launch of the all-new Mitsubishi Destinator will be on November 20, 10:00 AM, at Ring Garden, Ayala Malls Manila Bay, with a simultaneous vehicle display and test drive activity on November 20-23 at ASEANA Concert Grounds, Pasay City.
See it ahead of time
To build excitement before its launch, MMPC is taking the all-new Destinator on the road with the Destinator Premiere Sightings — a car spotting activity that gives the pubic an exclusive opportunity to see the Destinator in the flesh before its official release.

On Nov. 8, Saturday, the sightings move to north Luzon to locations like SM City Clark; Porch Coffee, Clark; and Phoenix NLEX Drive & Dine. It will be in Mitsubishi dealers CWI San Fernando, Pampanga and BMC Angeles, Pampanga.
On Nov. 9, Sunday, it heads to south Luzon to be at Escala, Tagaytay; Skyranch, Tagaytay; Twinlakes, Tagaytay; and Loghouse Café, Lipa. It will be in Mitsubishi dealers AMCAR Sta. Rosa, SFM Lipa, and Grand Canyon, Calamba.
Finally, on Nov. 15, Saturday, it moves to the heart of Metro Manila. Catch the cars at Estaban St., in Makati; Intramuros, Manila; Rizal Park, Manila; and SM Mall of Asia, Pasay (at the Autofocus Test Drive Festival). See it at dealers CT Motors Makati and Peak Manila Bay.
