During its testing, the Destinator scored a 34.69 out of 40 in Adult Occupancy Protection (AOP), 16.54 out of 20 in Child Occupancy Protection (COP), 15.02 out of 20 in Safety Assist Technology (SAT), and 11.02 out of 20 in Motorcyclist Safety (MS). Its cumulative 77.27 out of 100 is enough for a 5-star ASEAN NCAP rating.

The model tested by ASEAN NCAP is fitted with four SRS airbags, ABS with EBD, electronic stability control, and the Mitsubishi Motors Safety Sensing (Diamond Sense in some markets) which bundles advanced driver assist technologies such as Autonomous Emergency Braking, Forward Collision Warning, Blind Spot Detection, Auto High Beam, and Lane Departure Warning.

As a seven-seat SUV, the Destinator features a spacious three-row layout and is characterized by a refined, authentic SUV design and a premium cabin that offers comfort for everyone on board. Its 1.5-liter turbo engine, paired with a Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT) optimized for both fuel efficiency and acceleration, delivers strong, exhilarating response. Additionally, while adopting a front-wheel drive system, Mitsubishi Motors combines its advanced all-wheel control technologies, including the Active Yaw Control (AYC), to deliver safe and reliable driving across diverse road surfaces and weather conditions.

Mitsubishi Motors remains committed to its vision of a mobility society with zero traffic accidents, through ongoing efforts to develop and promote safety technologies and raise awareness of traffic safety.

Sales of the Destinator began in Indonesia in July 2025, while the Philippines will officially get it by November 20 where it will be priced starting at P 1,389,000. It’ll be followed by Vietnam by the end of the year. Subsequent launches are planned across the ASEAN region, South Asia, Latin America, the Middle East, and Africa, with a global rollout to roughly 70 countries.
