Ain't broke so they didn't fix it, but should they have done more to improve the Xpander?
, the automaker replaced the 4-speed automatic with a continuously variable transmission . With it, we expected the PH-spec version to also come with the new transmission ., it still comes with the good ol' 4-speed auto. Puzzled by this, we asked MMPC why they decided to not replace it with the newer CVT.According to Mark Parulan, Assistant Vice President for Sales and Marketing, the reason the PH-spec Xpander continues to have a 4-speed automatic is due to customer demand.
When it came to the transmission choices, however, Mitsubishi claimed that customers didn't find anything wrong with the 4-speed slushbox. This meant that the automaker didn't have to change the self-shifting transmission for the GLX and GLS variants. But does this mean Mitsubishi will not offer the CVT in the future?Parulan added that while it's not yet available, Mitsubishi is currently studying bringing the CVT to the country with future models.
Do you think MMPC should have gone for the CVT or is the 4-speed still a good transmission despite having only a limited set of gears? Share your comments below.
