From 19 September 2026, every passenger travelling on Sri Lanka’s expressways must wear a seat belt, making road safety a legal requirement rather than a choice. While the new regulation marks a significant step towards safer travel, it also presents a practical challenge for larger families travelling together. Mitsubishi’s true 7-seater lineup offers a simple answer: seven seats, each equipped with a three-point ELR seat belt, ensuring no one is left behind on the next family trip.

The Mitsubishi Xpander, Mitsubishi Xpander Cross and the all-new Mitsubishi Destinator are 7-seater MUVs and SUVs designed for Sri Lankan families who value safety, comfort and convenience without compromise.

Unlike vehicles that offer occasional third-row seating with limited passenger protection, all three Mitsubishi models provide seven individual seats equipped with dedicated three-point ELR seat belts, ensuring every passenger travels safely and in compliance with the new expressway regulations.

Mitsubishi’s 7-seater range combines spacious interiors with everyday practicality, making it ideal for Sri Lanka’s extended families. Wide-opening rear doors and one-touch tumble-fold second-row seats provide effortless access to the third row, while generous cabin space comfortably seats seven occupants. When additional cargo capacity is required, the second and third rows fold flat to create versatile luggage space for family holidays, business trips or everyday use.

Safety remains central to Mitsubishi’s engineering philosophy. Built on the renowned RISE (Reinforced Impact Safety Evolution) body structure, the vehicles feature advanced safety technologies including ABS with EBD, Active Stability Control, Traction Control, Hill Start Assist, rear-view camera with parking sensors, ISOFIX child seat anchors, and airbags, including side and curtain airbags on selected variants. Combined with high ground clearance of up to 225mm, Mitsubishi’s 7-seater SUVs are engineered to provide enhanced confidence and stability across varying Sri Lankan Road conditions.

Available through United Motors Lanka PLC’s island wide showrooms in Hyde Park Corner, Lipton, Nugegoda, Kurunegala, Ratnapura, Kandy and Matara, backed by an extensive aftersales network, the Mitsubishi Xpander, Xpander Cross and Destinator continue the brand’s legacy of delivering Japanese reliability, safety and quality to Sri Lankan motorists.
