The ground clearance of 222 mm is also the largest in the segment, much larger than models in segment C (CX-5: 200 mm, Tucson: 181 mm).

The stylized 5-spoke rims are the largest in the segment, 18 inches in size. The front and rear bumpers are optimized for off-road operation with an approach angle of 21 degrees and an exit angle of 30.5 degrees.

The Xforce's driver assistance technology features include the ADAS package, which includes adaptive cruise control, forward collision warning and mitigation, intelligent high beams and vehicle departure warning, blind spot warning and rear cross traffic alert. Other safety features include rear sensors, tire pressure sensors and a rearview camera.

Xforce has a practical design and equipment, many features suitable for Vietnam's road infrastructure such as small turning radius, off-road driving modes, large reclining rear seats, air filter... The Japanese car company said that this model was researched, designed and developed based on the habits and consumer behavior of Southeast Asians and Vietnamese people.

Vietnam is the first market in the world to launch the right-hand drive version of the Xforce. This is also the first place chosen by the Japanese automaker to launch the concept version of the Xforce, called the XFC Concept. Compared to the previous Xforce version sold in Indonesia, the model for the Vietnamese market is superior in the ADAS technology package. This shows that the Xforce is Mitsubishi's strategic product in Vietnam. Mitsubishi once expected that the sales of the Xforce in Vietnam would be on par with the Xpander - the company's best-selling model.
