Rebadge and discontinuation outside of Taiwan In October 2015, the
4G69 engine was detuned from with peak torque engine speed lowered from 4,500 to 2,300 rpm, incorporated with a new 5-speed automatic transmission, which replaced both the earlier 4-speed automatic as well as the manual transmission. In Taiwan, from 2015 the Zinger received a mild facelift, and was transferred into a product branded as
CMC following the recent change of
CMC repositioning itself as a domestic
Taiwanese car brand. The facelift includes CMC logo replacements and the signature CMC front grille and bumper design. The Mitsubishi Fuzion was removed from the Mitsubishi Philippines website in 2016. The
Xpander, which is built at
Mitsubishi Motors Krama Yudha Indonesia served as the replacement to the Fuzion and the
Adventure due to the engine not meeting Euro 4 standards and some safety issues. The Xpander was not exported to China and Taiwan markets due to Mitsubishi's decision to decline release of Mitsubishi Xpander and distribute to
China Motor Corporation.
