KatadataOTO journeyed Pulomas-PIK-Bogor with the Mitsubishi Destinator; here's the complete review.

Mitsubishi Destinator Driving Impressions: A Tough Yet Comfortable SUV
Katadata OTO Rating:

Excellent performance, comprehensive features, comfortable cabin, and seating for seven passengers.

The seating position is less ergonomic for drivers around 150 cm tall.

We believe the performance offered is enough to make a driver confident on long out-of-town trips with varied road contours, such as inclines and winding paths.

Conclusion

The Mitsubishi Destinator offers capable SUV performance while also considering the comfort needed for a family car.

The power provided is sufficient for daily needs. Other supporting features like automatic wipers and the 360 camera are also very helpful for the driver during city driving.

Various driving modes are adapted to road conditions, especially Tarmac. Then, the spacious cabin and three-row configuration are the main attractions of this SUV.

Only one thing to note, it's still the same as our first impression when trying the Mitsubishi Destinator at GIIAS 2025. The seating position for a female driver around 150 cm tall feels a bit low.

As a result, the view of the road is somewhat obstructed. This can be quite distracting for drivers who are not yet accustomed to driving.
