Mitsubishi Delica D5 Accessories & Upgrades — Complete Owner's Guide

Mitsubishi Delica D5 Overview

The Mitsubishi Delica D5 is a do-it-all people mover that combines off-road prowess with everyday practicality. The Delica nameplate has a rich history, starting as a commercial vehicle in 1968 and evolving into a versatile 4WD van with a cult following among adventurers and families in Australia, Japan and Europe.

The current gen Delica D5 is built on the Mitsubishi GS platform, shared with the Outlander and Xpander. It comes in various trim levels including the G Power Package 2WD and Royal trim to suit different driving needs. Whether navigating city streets or off-road trails, the Delica D5's 4WD capability sets it apart from regular people movers.

Exterior

The Mitsubishi Delica D5 has a bold and distinctive exterior. It features a dynamic shield grille on the front fascia, giving it an aggressive look that stands out in its segment. The swept-back tail lamps and rib bone frame reinforcement add to its unique design, improving both safety and handling.

Exterior Dimensions

• Length: 4,785mm
• Width: 1,795mm
• Height: 1,855mm
• Ground Clearance: 190mm

The 190mm ground clearance is impressive for a people mover, giving it genuine capability on light off-road terrain. Roof rails, rear spoiler and sliding doors add to its everyday practicality.

Interior and Technology

Inside, the Delica D5 is premium yet functional — the spacious cabin fits up to 8 people with plenty of room for luggage and outdoor gear.

Interior Features

• Heated seats for extra comfort
• Touchscreen infotainment with Bluetooth and USB
• Rearview camera and parking sensors
• Electronic stability control
• 7 airbags for passenger protection
• ANCAP 5-star safety rating

Performance and Specifications

Under the bonnet, the Mitsubishi Delica D5 runs a 2.2L turbo-diesel engine producing 133kW of power and 360Nm of torque, paired with a six-speed automatic transmission for smooth acceleration and efficient fuel use.

Key Specifications

• Engine: 2.2L Turbo-Diesel MIVEC
• Power: 133kW
• Torque: 360Nm
• Transmission: Six-Speed Automatic
• Fuel Consumption: 8.1L/100km
• Drive: 4WD with centre and rear differential

The four-wheel drive system distributes power to all four wheels for exceptional traction on mud, sand and gravel. Unlike most people movers, the Delica D5 features off-road ready suspension for better shock absorption — making it genuinely capable beyond the bitumen.

How Does the Delica D5 Compare?

The Delica D5 isn't like other people movers. Where the Toyota Tarago and Honda Odyssey prioritise comfort on sealed roads, the Delica D5 adds genuine off-road capability and all-terrain confidence. It shares rugged DNA with the Mitsubishi Pajero while offering far more interior space.

• Better off-road capability than any competitor people mover
• More cargo and passenger space than standard SUVs
• Fuel-efficient turbo-diesel powertrain
• ANCAP 5-star safety rating — safer than most older MPVs
