2025 Mitsubishi Destinator SUV First Look – Surprising Features You Need to See

Mitsubishi is making waves with the world premiere of its all-new midsize sport utility vehicle, the Destinator. Revealed in Indonesia and launching immediately at the 32nd GAIKINDO Indonesia International Auto Show, this seven-seater is built to serve as a reliable companion for energetic families looking to explore beyond their usual routine. It brings a perfect balance of bold styling, thoughtful utility, and performance you can feel in every drive.

At a glance, the Destinator commands attention. Its wide stance, sculpted fenders, and acrylic grille combine to form a front end that is both premium and rugged. Move along the sides, and you will notice the strong character lines and muscular wheel arches that suggest off-road readiness, yet the overall form remains elegant enough for urban streets.

Inside, the experience feels anything but ordinary. Mitsubishi went all-in with a panoramic sunroof, ambient lighting in sixty-four colors, and enough legroom across all three rows to keep the entire crew comfortable. The dashboard features a twelve-point-three inch touchscreen for media and vehicle controls, while the eight-inch digital display keeps the driver informed without distraction. Add in rear air vents, seatback tables, and multiple USB ports across all rows, and you have a cabin that feels designed for long trips and daily drives alike.

Powering the Destinator is a one-point-five liter turbocharged engine paired with a continuously variable transmission. With 120 kilowatts of power and 250 newton meters of torque, acceleration is both smooth and responsive. Whether you are tackling muddy backroads or city traffic, five drive modes—including Gravel, Mud, and Wet—make it easy to adapt.

Mitsubishi also ensured the Destinator is ready for rough conditions, thanks to 214 millimeters of ground clearance, a suspension tuned specifically for ASEAN roads, and driver-assist features like Adaptive Cruise Control and Blind Spot Warning. For safety, six airbags and a rigid body structure provide peace of mind. Connectivity features like smartphone-based vehicle control and emergency call support add another layer of convenience.

This SUV is not just about moving people—it is about inspiring journeys. Mitsubishi’s new Destinator is more than a car. It is a mobile sanctuary for families ready to chase memories across cities, landscapes, and everything in between.
