When Mitsubishi Motors Philippines Corporation (MMPC) revealed the XForce GLX at the recently concluded 2026 Philippine International Motor Show (PIMS), the stylish crossover is now more attainable thanks to its affordable price tag of PHP 1.119 million.

While it still gets the same 1.5L 4A91 naturally aspirated four-cylinder engine, which makes 105 PS with 141 Nm of torque and is coupled to a CVT with paddle shifters, the GLX model does lose some features and amenities for the sake of affordability. But just how many features had to be omitted or adjusted to make the GLX a reality?

Starting with the exterior, the GLX comes with smaller 17-inch alloy wheels wrapped in 205/60 series tires. In comparison, the GLS and GT models come with bigger 18-inch alloys and wider 225/50 series rubber. Despite the smaller wheels, the XForce GLX still looks stylish and dynamic.

Open the doors, and this is where the changes become noticeable. Gone is the Yamaha sound system, and in its place is a standard six-speaker sound system. Meanwhile, the drive mode selector on the center console has been removed, which means the GLX only comes with a Normal drive mode (Wet, Gravel, and Mud modes are not available). Those who always need to recharge their devices should bring a cable, as the wireless charging pad is not present in the GLX.

Also gone is the fully digital instrument cluster, which has been replaced with dual analog gauges and a small 4-inch multi-info display. Even the touchscreen infotainment system was changed to a smaller unit. The leather seats have also been replaced with regular fabric upholstery to bring down the price of the XForce GLX.

Last but not least, the Active Yaw Control (AYC), cruise control, and suite of advanced driver assist (ADAS) features have been removed to make the GLX more attractive to budget-conscious buyers.

So Mitsubishi had to shorten the equipment list of the XForce GLX to give it an affordable price tag. But which features were retained to keep it attractive to customers? Well, those seated in the back will be happy to know that they still have rear A/C vents and USB-C plus USB Type-A charging ports. The automaker also kept the 40:20:40 split rear seats to make storing large items easier.

Despite having a smaller touchscreen, the XForce GLX still comes with Android Auto & Apple CarPlay connectivity. The wireless charging pad may be gone, but the driver & front passenger can still use a 12V power socket and the USB-C & USB Type-A charging ports. The push-button start has also been retained, along with the electronic parking brake with auto brake hold and the toggle switches for the climate control.

Customers who loved the cooled center glovebox will be happy to know that the GLX still comes with this feature. This means on a long road trip, you can keep your drinks cool while on the go.

With a price tag of PHP 1.119 million, the Mitsubishi had to remove some niceties in the XForce GLX. However, some of those removed features you can live without if you prefer a simpler list of amenities, while still keeping the XForce's stylish looks and driving dynamics.
