After being leaked in government paperwork even by their very-own sales agents, Mitsubishi Motors Philippines Corporation (MMPC) formally launches the all-new 2026 Versa Van. Marking a much-awaited return of an iconic nameplate that has long been associated with versatility, durability, and dependable performance, the Versa Van is once again set to become a reliable partner for organizations and businesses that move people every day.
The Mitsubishi Versa Van traces its roots to the legendary Mitsubishi Delica, a van platform engineered to transport both people and cargo with ease. First introduced to the Philippines in 1987 as the L300, the original Versa Van version quickly became a familiar sight on roads and trusted companion of Filipino families. Decades later, the Versa Van returns, reengineered to meet today’s passenger transport needs while staying true to the values that made it iconic.
Designed primarily as a people mover, the new Mitsubishi Versa Van is ideal for small to medium-sized businesses that require reliable and efficient passenger transportation. These include tourist transport operators, school service providers and companies offering employee or guest shuttle services, among others. Its spacious interior, practical layout and proven diesel performance make it a smart solution for daily business operations.
Powering the Versa Van is a 2.5-liter diesel engine that delivers 129 horsepower at 3,200 rpm and 356 Nm from 1,400 2,000 rpm. Paired with a 5-speed manual transmission, the new Versa Van is ideal for frequent stop-and-go driving and fully loaded passenger transport. It also features a 15-seater capacity (including the driver), allowing businesses to transport more passengers efficiently while maintaining comfort and accessibility.
Built with business practicality in mind, the Mitsubishi Versa Van offers several advantages that enhance daily operations. Easier maintenance access is made possible through thoughtful placement of key maintenance components, helping reduce service time and downtime.
Apart from the owner and driver convenience, the van is also packed with passenger-friendly features. It provides excellent roominess and accessibility, with seats and steering wheel designed for easier adjustment, as well as foldable seats that enable smoother passenger movement and entry/exit routes. Passenger comfort is also further enhanced by the dedicated air outlets mounted on the ceiling for each seat row, ensuring consistent airflow throughout the cabin.
The Versa Van also excels in luggage capacity, offering a generous space for cargo. Its larger rear door opening allows easier loading and unloading of luggage which could be an important benefit for tourism and shuttle operations.
The Mitsubishi Versa Van is available solely in the GLX MT variant priced at P 1,649,000. Colors available are Silver Metallic and White Solid.
I saw a vid of a ph unit showing that it is made in japan. Is this true?
ReplyDeleteYup. Same as Urvan, Hiace.
Deletebadge replaced in Japan?
DeleteWhat engine is it using? Mitsu or nissan?
ReplyDeleteYD25 Nissan.
DeletePero same 1990mm ang width and 1695mm ang height tulad ng kung anong stated sa dimensions dati, kahit obvious na nabaliktad nila yun?
ReplyDeleteThis is as literal as a rebadge can get. Atleast with Livina/Xpander and Navara/Triton there are visual differences. But it makes sense for a commercial van, no one buys these for styling.
ReplyDeleteHowever, it seems that the upcoming "Lancer Sportback EV" will also be a literal rebadge of the Leaf... I wonder how that would work out.
Good alternative to the Urvan 15 seater.
ReplyDeleteIt'll likely sell a few units.
Only 500 units of it were brought to the Philippines by MMPC and Nissan Motors Japan.
ReplyDeleteMMPC will bring in more units of Versa Van if the sales of it were good
Poor seats layout with uneven and very small seats for some passengers. If you are a commuter assigned to those tiny seats with very little back support and designed like an afterthought just to add capacity, your in for an uncomfortable ride even when you paid the same fare. Imagine paying first class jut like everybody else and given a seat worse than economy.
ReplyDeleteExactly
DeleteThey should have released delica d5 instead
ReplyDeleteThere's no LHD version of it, only exclusively made in RHD.
DeleteUrvan is not selling well theae past few years. That is why Versa is taking over for a good after sales support and maintenance. Nothing new. Hiace padin.
ReplyDeleteLooks more nissan than mitsubishi
ReplyDeleteJust stop already.
