The concept version was launched globally in Ho Chi Minh City in October 2022.

Mitsubishi XFC commercial version was caught testing in Vietnam in a closed road with a discreet camouflage “coat”.

New points in the design of Mitsubishi XFC test run in Vietnam includes wheels that are more practical, less scratchy and easier to clean; rearview mirror instead of rearview camera and especially the fog lamp cavity is smaller and more seamless. On the concept version, many people think that the fog lights have a cavity design similar to the exhaust pipe, making the face less charming. This change gives the commercial version a more refined look.

The test version has a horizontal stripe overhead brake light instead of a vertical one like the concept version. Other features that are maintained as the concept model include the Dynamic Shield grille, headlights with L-positioning, a fastback-oriented roof with seamless glass extending through the C-pillar, and L-shaped taillights.
