Does The Mitsubishi Destinator Get A Premium Audio System?

Audio setup varies depending on the trim:

• Top-spec P Variant: 8-speaker Dynamic Sound Yamaha audio system
• M and H Variants: Standard 6-speaker setup

This makes the P trim more appealing for buyers who prioritize in-cabin entertainment quality.

What Are The Safety Features In The Mitsubishi Destinator?

• Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC)

What Are The Engine Specs Of The Mitsubishi Destinator In The UAE?

The Destinator is powered by a second-generation 1.5-litre turbocharged 4B40 petrol engine producing:

• 161hp at 5,000 rpm
• 250Nm between 2,500 & 4,000 rpm

The engine runs an Atkinson-cycle for more efficiency. Power is sent to the front wheels via a CVT automatic transmission. While it offers off-road-inspired tech and an inclinometer similar to Mitsubishi’s 4WD models, it remains front-wheel drive only.
