Japan’s Mitsubishi Motors Corporation has released pictures of its all-new mid-size SUV, the Destinator, designed primarily for markets in Asia, Latin America, the Middle East, and Africa. The model makes its global debut at the 32nd Gaikindo Indonesia International Auto Show (GIIAS) in Jakarta in the last week of July.

Mitsubishi said that the new three-row, seven-seater Destinator, produced by its Indonesian subsidiary PT Mitsubishi Motors Krama Yudha Indonesia, was developed as a lifestyle vehicle that “encourages families to pursue new destinations with confidence.” The automaker claims the Destinator combines “a refined, authentic SUV design with a spacious, premium interior that ensures comfort for everyone on board.”

The Destinator is powered by a 1.5L turbocharged engine, generating 120 kW of power and 250 Nm of torque, coupled with a CVT transmission that features five drive modes for optimized performance in various road conditions. The suspension is tuned for comfort, with a high ground clearance, to suit the ASEAN region’s roads. The model also features a panoramic sunroof, 64-color ambient lighting for a premium feel, and is equipped with advanced driver assistance (ADAS) and connectivity features.

Mitsubishi Motors CEO, Takao Kato, said in a statement: “The all-new Destinator is a seven-seater SUV designed to encourage families to embark on adventures in comfort. This marks the third global strategic model born in Indonesia, following the Xpander crossover MPV and the Xforce compact SUV, and it will be marketed globally with a focus on the ASEAN region. Our operations in Indonesia are a cornerstone of Mitsubishi Motors’ business, and by expanding the production and sales of the Destinator and other models, we are committed to contributing to the growth of the Indonesian automotive industry and the local economy, while delivering vehicles that inspire and delight customers around the world.”
