0.001 -> When the Philippines said goodbye to the Mitsubishi Adventure,
Mitsubishi was quick in finding a replacement,
5.846 -> and they brought the very unique-looking Xpander.
10.031 -> But recognizing the market need,
Toyota was able to bite back quickly
15.465 -> and they launched the Toyota Rush.
18.052 -> Fast forward to 2023, five years after their initial debut,
how are these two models?
24.076 -> Which is more worth it for your garage?
27.136 -> I'm Stanley Chi, and this is the Spec Check of the
Mitsubishi Xpander GLS versus Toyota Rush GR-S.
35.504 -> As always, click, and just keep on clicking.
39.301 -> [chuckles]
39.963 -> You already know what to do.
41.009 -> [engine revs]
45.391 -> (Looking for a car?)
52.524 -> (Go to Philkotse now!)
57.282 -> [music plays]
58.428 -> These two have increased price tags,
but still, they are closely priced.
63.829 -> The Toyota Rush GR-S is priced at Php 1,176,000,
69.068 -> while the Mitsubishi Xpander GLS is priced at Php 1,198,000.
75.21 -> That means there is a Php 22,000
price difference between the two.
84.672 -> Just in case you didn't know,
the Toyota Rush is now a seven-seater for all variants.
90.08 -> But when it comes to the size,
the Xpander is now bigger in all areas.
94.532 -> Length, width, height, wheelbase, and ground clearance,
the Xpander is just larger.
106.882 -> When it comes to power, these two MPVs or SUVs are similar.
111.327 -> The Xpander and Rush have a 1.5-liter engine
without a turbocharger,
115.289 -> and is paired with a four-speed automatic transmission.
118.167 -> But they have different power figures
120.94 -> because the Xpander has 141 Nm of torque,
while the Rush produces 134 Nm of torque only.
129.238 -> In the real world, that shouldn't be significantly felt.
137.536 -> Exterior-wise, these two are very different.
140.358 -> The Xpander continues with its design language
improved with the T-shaped headlights,
145.855 -> blacked-out grille, and segment LED DRLs.
150.04 -> Meanwhile, the Rush is more handsome
thanks to the variant's GR-S look.
154.463 -> It has additional flair on the front, side, and rear
with GR-S branding in key corners.
160.433 -> The two are similar when it comes to amenities.
163.522 -> LED headlights, DRL, and taillights, halogen fog lights,
power-folding side mirrors, and 17-inch wheels.
175.946 -> Inside the cabin, the Xpander is a bit more playful
because aside from the redesigned dashboard,
181.168 -> Mitsubishi also incorporated a three-tone theme.
183.504 -> The gray interior is joined by brown leather and
aluminum accents, leading to a more upmarket look.
189.404 -> Meanwhile, the Toyota Rush GR-S implemented white accents
on the dashboard and door panels in the cabin.
196.026 -> You cannot find that on the seats so you won't have a
headache when something spills or your passenger is dirty.
202.506 -> When it comes to the features, the battle is a give and take.
205.95 -> The Xpander has an electronic parking brake
with an auto brake hold,
209.214 -> while the Rush GR-S gets automatic climate control,
and smart keyless entry.
215.065 -> All the rest are similar.
222.337 -> When it comes to safety, the Xpander prioritized comfort.
225.702 -> That is delivered by the two airbags, a rear camera,
stability control, hill start assist, and cruise control.
233.966 -> Meanwhile, the Rush is well-rounded with six airbags,
ABS, EBD, hill start assist, rear sensor, rear camera,
241.728 -> and speed-sensing door locks.
243.134 -> But no cruise control.
247.602 -> So it will depend on what is your priority,
the comfort of cruise control or more airbags.
258.696 -> When it comes down to the spec sheet, it seems like the
Rush GR-S is better than the Xpander GLS.
265.132 -> However, those are just features.
267.578 -> The judgment would change when they are on the road,
271.809 -> especially considering that the Xpander has improved suspension,
274.434 -> which they said came from the Montero Sport.
277.191 -> [scoffs]
277.734 -> But that's it for this spec check of the
Mitsubishi Xpander GLS versus the Toyota Rush GR-S.
284.468 -> Be sure to subscribe to YouTube for more content like this.
