Jakarta –
Mitsubishi chose Indonesia to be the birthplace of the first XForce in the world. Who would have thought, even though the unit had not yet been recorded, 1,100 units of the Mitsubishi XForce had been ordered during GIIAS 2023. Then how is the readiness of the Mitsubishi factory in Indonesia?
President Director of PT MMKSI, Atsushi Kurita said consumers don’t need to worry about waiting for a long XForce unit, because the Mitsubishi factory in Indonesia still has slots left to be able to produce the Mitsubishi XForce.
“In terms of production, I have to check with MMKI first. As far as I know, our production capacity is 220,000 units per year, now it’s only 180,000 units per year,” said Atsushi Kurita.
Kurita continued, Mitsubishi still has a lot of potential to increase production in Indonesia.
“So we still have a lot of potential for production, the important thing is the production time, because it will definitely be done in stages. We can’t produce high, but we will do it gradually,” Kurita said.
“The initial stage is certainly safer than before. Seeing XForce’s reaction, we asked MMKI to speed up and increase production capacity so that it can fulfill pre-orders and orders after GIIAS,” Kurita added.

For the record, Xforce is one of the stars of the GIIAS 2023 exhibition. The car won the title of favorite passenger SUV. Apart from Xpander and Xpander Cross, one of Mitsubishi’s biggest contributions to sales came from Xforce.
Of the total SPK of nearly 3,700 units, Xforce is said to take a sales portion of 30 percent. Xforce Ultimate or the highest variant ordered 90 percent.
“1,100 units are Xforce which takes the largest portion or 30 percent of the total achievement at GIIAS,” said President Director of Mitsubishi Motors Krama Yudha Sales Indonesia (MMKSI) Atsushi Kurita, in the previous detikOto news.
XForce is believed to be a strong competitor in the compact SUV segment. This car was developed specifically for use in the ASEAN market. This SUV is equipped with several driving modes, such as normal, wet and gravel. Wet mode itself was first applied to the XForce by Mitsubishi. Another noteworthy feature is the use of an audio system from Yamaha, which will add to the excitement while driving.
MMKSI experienced an increase in sales during GIIAS when compared to last year. At the GIIAS 2022 event, Mitsubishi posted an SPK of 3,589 units.
Xforce as a newcomer also makes visitors curious. Mitsubishi recorded that nearly 1,000 Xforce test drives were directly tested by visitors to GIIAS 2023, out of a total of around 1,300 test drives for Mitsubishi Motors vehicles.
