Mitsubishi Motors ended production in the Philippine market due to the engine being Euro-2 compliant and some safety issues, effectively ending the 20-year production run, on December 10, 2017, at the Greenfield Automotive Park, home to Mitsubishi Motors Philippines’ manufacturing plant and corporate headquarters in Santa Rosa, Laguna. The Xpander, which replaces the Adventure, was introduced in the Philippines on March 1, 2018, and is produced at the Mitsubishi Motors Krama Yudha Indonesia manufacturing facility in Bekasi, West Java.

What are the typical Mitsubishi Adventure issues?
Adventure is a large vehicle, and typical driver issues like erratic driving, poor braking, and carrying a lot of goods can result in high gas usage.
How to remedy it: Refraining from overloading and aggressive driving is the best way to solve this issue. Consider that when you step on the gas pedal, there is a raw egg underneath it. Your objective is to avoid breaking the yolk.
Additionally, be sure to fully release your parking brake to avoid dragging your brakes and quickly wasting fuel.
What is the Mitsubishi Adventure’s replacement?
“Unfortunately, due to the Euro 4 status, the two models will be discontinued by 2017. According to Dytianquin, we’re still debating the L300 and Adventure’s next-generation versions.
The replacement for Mitsubishi’s Adventure has not yet been given a name, however it is a different multipurpose Mitsubishi vehicle (MPV). Indonesian manufacturers will produce this. But the Mitsubishi L200 can take the place of the L300.
“We have the L200 cab chassis, which is currently arriving from Thailand and has the similar proposal. That is most likely the model we will use to replace the L300, said Dytianquin.
The phaseout of the two locally produced models will be coordinated with the government, according to the first vice president of the MMPC, to guarantee that their inventory is adequately reduced.
We cannot ignore the reality that dealers would be carrying inventory; he noted that this will be one of the challenges in the phaseout.
On Friday, Mitsubishi hosted the groundbreaking ceremony for its P2 billion stamping factory in Santa Rosa, Laguna, which is regarded as its initial compliance with the government’s Comprehensive Automotive Resurgence Strategy (CARS) Program for industrial stimulus. The program calls for investments in the production of substantial plastic body parts.
As production of the Mirage and Mirage G4the Japanese brand’s entry into the CARS Programbegins, the famous L300 and Adventure will be phased out.
In 2018, the first year of operations with the manufactured pressed parts, the business estimates that it will produce 30,000 units of the Mirage.
Since the two models will no longer be produced by then, this number reflects its maximum capacity.
For the six-year duration of the CARS Program, the eligible automaker must produce at least 200,000 vehicles, or 33,000 units annually.
The Mitsubishi Adventure uses little fuel.
All Adventure models from Mitsubishi come with a 2.5-liter, 4-cylinder, Euro-2 compliant 4D56 diesel engine with a fuel injection system. This engine is based on SOHC valve technology. This engine can produce 149 Nm at 2,500 rpm and 75 horsepower at 4,200 rpm. A 5-speed manual transmission transfers power to the rear.
The Mitsubishi Adventure 2017 model achieves excellent fuel efficiency of 8.0 km/L on city roads and 14.0 km/L on motorways thanks to this reliable engine.
The Adventure achieves excellent fuel economy, achieving 8.0 km/L on city streets and 14.0 km/L on highways.
In terms of acceleration, the Adventure 2017 can sprint from a complete stop to 100 km/h in less than 15 seconds before reaching its top speed of 160 km/h.
As was already mentioned, the Mitsubishi Adventure must say goodbye due in large part to its Euro-2 compatible engine, despite it being incredibly sleek and powerful. Our nation compels automakers to only produce vehicles with Euro-4 compatible power plants by 2018; however, our vehicle was unable to achieve this criteria, as was the case with the Isuzu Crosswind.
The front wheels include ventilated disc brakes for stopping and handling, while the back wheels have leading and trailing drum brakes. They are used in conjunction with 9-inch brake boosters to enhance the braking system. The Mitsubishi Adventure 2017 performs excellently on the rough roads. The excellent double wishbone suspension system ensures that the car constantly maintains its equilibrium. In addition, a power steering system gives off a quick response while also giving the driver a thrilling driving experience.
The Mitsubishi Adventure is trustworthy.
One of the most notable examples of such is the iconic Mitsubishi Adventure. Despite being an older model, it is undoubtedly one of Mitsubishi’s most trustworthy cars.
Will Pajero return?
“According to Owen Thomson, senior manager of product planning at Mitsubishi Australia, Pajero has been discontinued by Mitsubishi globally. ” Even though we would really like that car to return to Australia, it doesn’t seem likely that it will do so anytime soon.
Mitsubishi Adventure has a rear-wheel drive system.
When the Adventure was first introduced in 1997, it shared many design elements with Mitsubishi’s Gen 2 Pajero SUV. With rear-wheel drive, a 5-speed manual transmission, a reduced ground clearance, and a ten-year-old 2.5L 4D56 engine that was infamously utilized (in turbocharged form) in the first generation Pajero, the new wagon was just as boxy but more utilitarian in its approach.
For a while, the Mitsubishi fifth-generation Galant’s 2.0L 4G63 gasoline engine and automatic transmission were available, but the market ultimately favored the more fuel-efficient oil burner, which was a sign of the car’s middle-class buyers who were concerned about their carbon footprint.
The Adventure is the last survivor of the models from the previous century that established the AUV (Asian Utility Vehicle) class. Toyota’s Tamaraw FX later changed into the Revo and then the more opulent Innova, while Isuzu’s Hi-Lander later gained weight to become the sub-SUV Crosswind and created the term XUV (Crossover Utility Vehicle).
In order to keep costs down, the Adventure only had minor mechanical and visual changes during the course of the entire process. But its car-like design and generally quiet functioning were two of its key attractions. For instance, the Tamaraw FX had a pull-twist device under the dash while the Adventure had a standard floor-mounted handbrake. The Adventure’s gearshift had significantly shorter throws than any other Isuzu, which was a blessing on long travels, and the 4D56 diesel idled quieter than any other Isuzu.
When should the Mitsubishi Adventure’s timing belt be replaced?
7) Don’t disregard your timing chain or belt. Your engine will freeze if this breaks, forcing you to undergo an overhaul. Depending on the vehicle, the suggested replacement interval is between 60,000 and 70,000 kilometers.
