JAKARTA - Competition in the seven-passenger SUV segment is getting tighter. Consumers now not only consider the design and cabin capacity, but also technology, performance, and features that can provide comfort in everyday use.
There are many models offered in Indonesia, but there is one model that attracts attention, namely the Mitsubishi Destinator. Since its introduction in July 2025, this SUV has received a positive response from the Indonesian market and has won various awards from a number of institutions both at home and abroad.
In the Indonesian market, the Mitsubishi Destinator is available in three variants, namely GLS, Exceed, and Ultimate. For the Ultimate variant, Mitsubishi presents additional options in the form of Dynamic Sound Yamaha Premium, power tailgate, and electric seat settings to increase user comfort.
The model above comes with various advantages, such as the engine that is carried. One of the main attractions of the Mitsubishi Destinator is the use of a 1,500cc turbocharged engine that provides the ideal combination of power and fuel efficiency. This engine is code-named 4B40 with a 1,500cc MIVEC capacity with a water-cooled intercooler that is capable of producing 163 PS of power and 250 Nm of torque. The power and efficiency features of this engine are highly desired by daily car users who like agile but fuel-efficient engines.
"I think for a turbo engine, the key is heat. The hotter the engine, the more power it consumes. So even though the engine is a turbo, don't call it a geber-geber. Why? Because it is a turbo that is working extra. If the turbo works extra, because it is a system that rotates," said Mitsubishi Motors Indonesia Brand Ambassador, Rifat Sungkar, in an official statement received, Friday, June 26.
"Spinning will produce high heat. Heat just now. More power, more energy. You have less power, you have less energy. So we just believe it, the power is the engine that is controlled, right. So don't fish with aggressive driving style," he added.
Mitsubishi also pays attention to comfort during the journey through the Yamaha Premium Dynamic Sound audio system. This system is the result of collaboration with Yamaha using eight speakers that have been developed specifically to produce clearer sound quality with even audio distribution throughout the cabin. This feature makes long journeys feel more enjoyable, both when listening to music and podcasts.
Meanwhile, to support various road conditions in Indonesia, Destinator is equipped with a Drive Mode Selector that allows drivers to choose the vehicle's character according to their needs. There are five driving modes to choose from, namely Normal, Wet, Gravel, Mud, and Tarmac. Each mode regulates the engine response and control system so that the vehicle remains stable when crossing various road surfaces.
Another premium feature is the panoramic sunroof which gives the impression of a more spacious and luxurious cabin. With a combination of turbo-powered engines, complete active safety technology, premium entertainment features, to cabin comfort designed for seven passengers, the Mitsubishi Destinator offers a fairly competitive package in the mid-size SUV class.
