2022 Mitsubishi Express

Mitsubishi is back in the van market with a rebadged Renault Trafic. We can't just do a find and replace with a Trafic review, though, as this clone lacks many of the features found in the Renault.

The Mitsubishi Express is back for 2020. It's a long way removed from the basic van that last wore the Express badge, but safety is still a shortcoming.

The badge-engineered Mitsubishi Express is an interesting addition to the range, targeted at fleets already operating Triton utes that need another solution. It's a solid cargo-hauler, but it'll prosper or perish based on how keen its fleet pricing is.

Despite strong sales for delivery vans last year, Mitsubishi is retiring its Express van. Stocks are expected to run out by year's end.

Australian sales of mid-sized vans, the dominant sector, hit all-time highs in 2021 on the back of a delivery boom.

Humble mid-sized vans are on the move in 2021, with Australian volumes at record highs according to the latest market data.

Unchanged in both price and spec for 2021, Mitsubishi is rolling over its Express into the new year on the back of a zero-star ANCAP rating.

The zero-star rating handed to the Mitsubishi Express sends a "confused message" to new car buyers in Australia, according to the FCAI.

Mitsubishi believes the testing indicates a "good level" of occupant protection. The mechanically identical Renault Trafic will not be hit with the same score.

How does your van stack up when it comes to active safety features? ANCAP and Euro NCAP have put 15 vans through their paces to find out.

Mitsubishi is back in the van game with the Express, a rebadged take on the Renault Trafic. Pricing starts at $38,490 before on-road costs.

You can't keep a good van down, or at least not a good van name. The Mitsubishi Express is back, but it's not like any Express before it.
