United Motors Lanka PLC, the sole authorised distributor of Mitsubishi in Sri Lanka, launched the all-new Mitsubishi Destinator. 

It is designed for the ambitious Sri Lankan driver who demands space, safety and sophistication without compromise.

Destinator exceeds expectations with its commanding presence and even more commanding value. United Motors announces that this premium, feature-loaded, three-row SUV at an introductory price starting from just Rs.24.95 million. 

This price point delivers the prestige and features of a premium SUV, coupled with award-winning technology, making it an unparalleled proposition for professionals and corporates.

Destinator is driven by a responsive 1.5-litre turbocharged engine, delivering 163 BHP and 250 Nm of torque, perfectly tuned for both urban commutes and adventurous getaways. True command comes from its five multi-terrain drive modes—Normal, Wet, Gravel, Tarmac and Mud—allowing drivers to strategically optimise performance for any of Sri Lanka’s diverse conditions. Combined with high ground clearance and ASEAN-tuned suspension, it offers unwavering confidence and smoothness on every road.

With Destinator, safety is a non-negotiable mission. Engineered for peace of mind, it boasts a top-tier five-star ASEAN NCAP safety rating. Protection is fortified by six SRS airbags and the advanced Mitsubishi Safety Sensing suite—an intelligent co-pilot featuring critical aids like Blind Spot Warning (BSW), Rear Cross Traffic Alert (RCTA) and Forward Collision Mitigation (FCM). This system actively works to prevent accidents, ensuring every journey is secure.

Step inside a realm of spacious, tech-forward comfort. Destinator’s cabin is a genuine three-row command centre designed for seven adults. The commander benefits from a modern cockpit featuring a crisp 12.3-inch monolithic touchscreen display and a digital eight-inch driver’s instrument cluster. For all occupants, the experience is elevated by a panoramic sunroof, customisable 64-colour ambient mood lighting, and an immersive eight-speaker Yamaha Premium sound system. Practicality is paramount, with flexible seating, abundant smart storage and connectivity for every passenger.

Destinator enters the market with proven excellence, having been awarded the prestigious FORWOT Car of the Year 2025 ‘Best of the Best’ honour in Indonesia, alongside winning ‘The Best Internal Combustion Engine’ category—a testament to its outstanding engineering and design.

“ Mitsubishi Destinator is a vehicle that fits very well with the Sri Lankan consumers,” said United Motors Lanka Executive Director and Group CEO Chanaka Yatawara. 

“It delivers a commanding combination of space, technology and uncompromised safety at a value that redefines the segment. We are proud to support it with Mitsubishi’s legendary reliability and our own unwavering commitment to comprehensive after-sales service, warranty and islandwide parts availability.”

With its rugged capability, professional-focused design and strategic pricing, the all-new Mitsubishi Destinator is ready to command Sri Lankan roads.
