Mitsubishi Outlander began to roll off the assembly line of the Russian plant RSMA. The debut of the updated car took place in the spring at the Geneva Motor Show. The modernization itself turned out to be unplanned: the company was going to present the fourth generation SUV this fall, but the management of the Renault-Nissan alliance closed this project. All-new Outlander will be built as crossover Nissan x-trail next generation, so its debut has been delayed by about two years. In the meantime, the car has slightly tweaked the exterior in the spirit of the modern corporate concept of Dynamic Shield, improved noise insulation and worked on the ergonomics of the cabin.
The new headlights are visually divided into three distinct sections. In the top versions, the LED blocks are now responsible not only for the near, but also for high beam... The radiator grille has changed, new decorative trims have appeared on the front and rear bumpers, the spoiler on the fifth door has become larger, and the wheel design has been refreshed.
The front seats with a modified profile and more developed lateral support rollers appeared in the cabin. Slightly retouched instruments, USB ports moved to the bottom of the center console. The all-wheel drive versions now have additional ventilation deflectors for the rear passengers and a USB connector between the backs of the front seats.
As for the powertrains, there are no changes: we will still offer Outlander with gasoline engines 2.0 (146 hp) and 2.4 (167 hp) paired with a variator. The Outlander GT with a 3.0 V6 engine (227 hp) and an automatic transmission will also remain. Cars with a junior motor can be bought with a front or four-wheel drive, the more powerful crossovers are exclusively all-wheel drive. The only technical update is the percalibrated suspension.
The list of complete sets of the updated Outlander is a carbon copy of the current one, however, it is still unknown how their content will change for the 2019 model year cars. The company promises to announce prices on September 12th. Most likely, we should expect a slight rise in price: now the base crossover costs 1 million 559 thousand rubles, and for the top version of the GT they ask for 2 million 320 thousand.
Many car enthusiasts are interested in where the individual is produced. For example, a man has Pajero and he is interested in where his brothers are made. In this article we will see where are produced individual models Mitsubishi.
Where is it collected Mitsubishi I- Miev?
This is the first electric car of the Mitsubishi Motors concern. Not so long ago, the car appeared on the territory of Russia. At the moment, this model is assembled exclusively in its homeland - in Japan, at the Mitsushima plant in the city of Kurashiki.
Where is it collected Mitsubishi Pajero Sport?
The legendary sold in Russia has a multinational history.
- Since 1998, the car has been produced exclusively in Japan.
- Since 2004, components have been imported to Russia from the United States, although production in Japan continued.
- From 2008 to 2012, cars were imported from Thailand.
- From 2013 to 2015, it was produced at a plant near Kaluga.
Here is such interesting story this Japanese SUV.
Where is Mitsubishi Pajero assembled?
Pajero is the dream of millions of car enthusiasts around the world. One of the first SUVs to quickly become popular. In 2015, the model celebrated its 25th anniversary, making it one of the oldest models of the concern. During this time, the model has gone through 5 updates. Mitsubishi Pajero collected in Japan and this is good news for true connoisseurs of Japanese technology.
Where is it collected Mitsubishi Outlander?
From 2012 to 2015, the assembly was carried out in Russia, all at the same plant near Kaluga. The result is the following:
- 2010 - 2012 - Outlander from Japan was assembled in Russia;
- Assembly after 2012 (until 2015) was carried out in Russia;
The Russian assembly is under strict quality control. At the moment, quality questions Russian assembly was not, although some motorists made comments in the direction of the Kaluga plant.
Where is it collected Mitsubishi ASX?
- one of the most popular models in Russia in terms of price / quality ratio. In addition to production in Japan, at the Nagoya plant in Okazaki, the car is produced in the USA at a plant in Illinois. It is difficult to determine which car of which production is more in Russia: American or Japanese. Some people think that in American-built models there are less complaints about squeaking in the suspension.
Where is it collected Mitsubishi Lancer?
It's no secret that this model is one of the best-selling in Russia. The main competitor, Toyota Corolla, is a purebred Japanese, which is assembled at the plant in Japan. On the same conveyor, and are assembled. The model is delivered to Russia with a small margin, because the direct competitor of the model is a serious obstacle at this price level.
Below is a table of countries of production of Mitsubishi models.
| Model | Build country |
| Japan | |
| Netherlands (since 2003), Japan (until 2008) | |

Mitsubishi Lancer is a car Japanese company, which is the sixteenth bestseller in the world. It has been produced since 1973, but this “experience” does not prevent the model from being popular and in demand. It is sold all over the world, only under different names. For example, up to 2008 about six million cars were sold.
Therefore, it is not surprising that the company's engineers decided to re-release the car. And more than once. By the way, before buying a car, many are interested in the place of its production. And in this article we will figure out where the Mitsubishi Lancer is assembled.
Where are the factories that assemble Mitsubishi cars for Russia?
As you know, Mitsubishi is a Japanese company headquartered in Tokyo. The main partner for deliveries to Russia for a long time was the Rolf company. Now almost all cars are distributed by the LLC "MMC Rus".
So, the factories from which cars are brought to us are located in:
- Japan. The production is called Nagoya Plant, and it is located in the city of Okazaki. This is the largest factory in the world. By the way, more than half of the models are delivered to Russia from here.
The second Japanese enterprise that is filling our market is called Mizushima Plant. It is located in the city of Kurashiki;
- America. There is a plant in Illinois called Mitsubishi Motors North America, Inc. It has been renamed three times in its history. But, since 1991, the Japanese have completely redeemed it. From here, cars are supplied to the markets of the whole world, and Russian, in particular;
- Russia. In the city of Kaluga in 2010, a plant was built under the name Peugeot Citroën Mitsubishi Automotive Rus. The Japanese bought out 30% of the shares. The rest of the parts are shared by the Peugeot and Citroen concerns.
Mitsubishi Lancer for Russia is assembled exclusively in Japan in the city of Kurashiki. Both ordinary Lancer and Lancer Evolution are made here. As for the cost of the Japanese model, it is much lower than the "purebred" competitors.
In the domestic market of Japan, Mitsubishi Lancer is called differently. But, this does not change its essence. She's four-wheel drive and safe. Also, regardless of its low stance, it will ride on any terrain without discomfort for the driver.
As for safety, Mitsubishi Lancer was first tested in 1998. Then he received only two stars. It was called incompatible with pedestrians and passengers. But, already in 2009, the model was checked again. She received five out of five points.
In 2009, the car took first place in thefts. This observation was based on payments from the largest Russian insurance company. For the first half of that year, the percentage of Japanese hijacking was 13.6%. But, the statistics did not include uninsured models. Therefore, we will not give you an exact figure.
But according to the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia, this foreign car became the most stolen in 2010.
One of the best flagship sedans of the Japanese company is improved for the needs Russian market... Mitsubishi Lancer last updated it in 2011. Well, to be precise, the most recent modification was shown a week ago in Los Angeles. But, it has not yet entered the world markets, and it is not known when it will appear in Russia. Therefore, we are considering a 2011 car.
It appeared in our company at the end of 2012 and received a redesigned bumper, a chrome grille, a sports body and excellent sound insulation. A new information and entertainment flat display was installed in the salon, as well as interesting seat upholstery.
But, the main changes are under the hood. Previously, a 1.5-liter gasoline engine with a capacity of 109 horsepower was installed here. It now also runs on gasoline. But, the displacement has increased to 1.6, and the engine produces 117 horsepower. The transmission can be either mechanical or automatic.
Previously, the model accelerated to a hundred in 11.6 seconds on the mechanics, and in 14.3 seconds on the machine. Now, the car reaches hundreds of kilometers per hour in 10.8 and 14 seconds, respectively. Fuel consumption is also pleasant. He dropped by 0.2 liters in all driving modes.
In the interior, it is worth noting the decorative trims for the doors and the center console. Also, now there are many pockets for change, in which you can put your phone or necessary items. Well, the seat upholstery is made of practical and durable leather. You can choose from gray and silver.
The safety of the model was increased due to new braking systems and excellent airbags. In the first case, the model received a brake pedal, which helps not to crash into something if when the accelerator switch is stuck in the depressed position. The software collects data from all pedals in the system and analyzes them automatically. In the event that both the brake and the gas are pressed at the same time, the car itself begins to brake. Thus, the model first slows down the car and then stops it.
The representative of the main importer of Mitsubishi Lancer in Russia notes that the car has already broken all possible sales records. As already mentioned, the 2012 updates have affected the exterior, interior and technical part of the car. It can be concluded that the Japanese engineers made the model as close as possible to the one that most Russians want to see in their garage.
Reliable and stylish design, powerful power point and purebred Japanese quality- this is exactly what makes Mitsubishi Lancer popular and in demand not only in ours, but also in world car dealerships.
Before the crisis, the personnel of the plant, which was inaugurated in 2009, 25 km from Kaluga, totaled about 3,000 people. In total, 546 million euros were invested in its construction and adjustment of production. The owners of the authorized capital of PSMA Rus in the amount of 320 million euros are the French concern PSA (70%) and Mitsubishi Motors Corporation (30%).
What is collected
But by an evil irony of fate, the French, the main owners of the Kaluga plant, relied on the assembly of C-segment cars - the very one that the current crisis knocked down the most mercilessly. Therefore, at the end of February, on the lines collecting sedans Peugeot 408 and Citroen C4 (until 2012, as we remember, Peugeot 4007 and Citroen C-Crosser were assembled here, and until last year they also Mitsubishi pajero Sport), as well as the Mitsubishi Outlander crossover, there were only 1,381 employees. The rest were either given a notice of a reduction with five salaries, or they did not renew their contracts, Yoshia Inamori, deputy general director of PSMA Rus, told us. According to him, if earlier there were much more temporarily hired employees in percentage terms, now the preponderance is not in their direction. And since the situation on the SUV market is not much better, the French conveyor lines were mostly empty.
The consequences of optimization at PSMA Rus are visible to the naked eye in the factory parking lot. If a couple of years ago it was problematic to find a place here, now it is more than enough. On Friday, it is generally deserted here - recently, management announced the transition to a four-day working week while maintaining production in two shifts.
To describe the scale of the disaster, I will cite the following statistics: the estimated productivity of the Kaluga plant is 125 thousand cars per year, while over five years - from 2010 to 2015 - only 104 thousand French and Japanese cars left the local workshops. They were assembled mainly by the CKD method (small-knot assembly) from imported parts and kits - more than 77 thousand cars. Since 2012, at the plant and adjacent workshops, as well as by contractors (a total of 18 companies), they have gradually mastered production from bumpers, seats and glass to wiring and tires. According to Inamori-san, according to the signed resolution 166, the enterprise was obliged to increase localization up to 20% by the beginning of this year. However, at the moment this figure is already equal to 30% - at this level, taxes on the import of components are zeroed.
Here, however, there is an important nuance: more than 90% of the suppliers from among those that provide Russian parts for PSMA Rus are foreign companies. It means that the plant is still dependent on imports, which means it is subject to the detrimental effect of the weak ruble exchange rate.
However, some import substitution is still taking place. It concerns leadership positions. Only two foreign managers remained in the French direction - the rest were replaced by Russians. The Japanese assembly line is a little trickier, explains Yoshia Inamori. Since the production system here was originally Japanese, 16 specialists were invited to the enterprise, and it is very problematic to replace them for a number of reasons.
How is harvested
This was followed by a tour of the conveyor belt. Production workshops "PSMA Rus" consist of three lines - welding, painting and assembly. Moreover, welding and assembly are divided into lines - for the C-segment and SUV. All cars produced in Kaluga are painted on one line.
The production process begins with the welding of body parts coming from the nearby Gestamp-Severstal-Kaluga. Operators manually weld them in advance at control points, so that they can then be transferred to the line of robots, where, as the plant workers themselves call it, a "dance" takes place. Of the 2000 welding points, 1300 are carried out by robots. After "dancing" with the main body panels future car enters the stage of assembly of hinged parts - doors and hood, then the first quality control takes place. Female operators manually feel the surfaces for scratches or deformation, and the body geometry is checked with instruments. If a defect is found, the collected is sent for revision.
If everything is in order, on special trolleys, the bare body enters the elevator and goes through the labyrinths to the paint shop. We did not manage to get into it: according to the guides accompanying us, the safety requirements and quality control are too high here. Nevertheless, we learned that out of 20 hours required for a complete assembly cycle of one Outlander, the car spends nine hours in the paint shop, where about 6 kg of various liquids are applied to it. During this time, they manage not only to paint it, but also to dry it with subsequent control.
After passing through two laboratories - destructive control and metrology, where the next control of the geometry of the body and the assembly of its panels is carried out, we go along with the future machines to the assembly shop, where on the territory of 60 thousand square meters. m, 150 people are involved in one shift. It all starts with interior decoration - wiring and installation of interior elements (dashboard, airbags, etc.) and interior trim. By the way, the doors of the car at this stage are pre-dismantled and go to a separate assembly line. Since each part has its own passport, it will return a little later to its original place.
Having gradually passed a 400-meter segment and acquired already external details, such as suspensions and exhaust system The Outlander finds itself in a "wedding" place - the body is fed from above to the engine waiting for it from below. Closer to the end of the conveyor line, rear and side windows are glued into the stern, seats appear in the cabin, wheels are wound on the hubs. And everything comes to the end with the next quality control. At this stage, in particular, the wheel alignment angles are checked, and under a special shower - the body tightness. Within two minutes, water is supplied to the vehicle from different angles. If no problems are found, then he goes to the test site, where several kilometers of various surfaces await him - crushed stone, a comb, artificial irregularities, descents and ascents, the acceleration and deceleration zone. If at this stage flaws in the assembly surfaced, the car leaves for the so-called retouching zone, where it is brought to marketable condition.
About 40% of the personnel involved in the assembly of the Mitsubishi Outlander are women. Keep this in mind when you want to say something about “crooked hands” for the sake of a word.
Will Pajero Sport become a "Russian"
Moving from one workshop to another, along the way we find an idle line. Until last year, the retired second generation Mitsubishi was collected on it. Pajero sport... In the summer of this year, a successor is expected in our country, which at first will be imported from a plant in Thailand. The question of whether the newcomer will be assembled in Kaluga is still open. In many ways, the answer will be given by the demand for this rogue. However, be that as it may, the conveyor itself is ready to welcome him.
This summer, the Mitsubishi brand plans to start selling a new generation of its Pajero Sport all-terrain vehicle in Russia, the predecessor of which was assembled on the PSMA Rus conveyor in Kaluga. We went with an inspection to the plant to understand how it lives today, what and how it is harvested.
In Russia, the new Mitsubishi Outlander of the year will begin to collect in the fall
Most recently, the March Geneva Motor Show died down, where Mitsubishi presented new model Outlander car. And already in May, information was received from the press service of the company's official dealer about the appearance of a new generation Mitsubishi Outlander on the market of our country in August. In Russia, Outlander will be presented by models with 2 and 2.4 liter petrol engines and continuously variable transmission (CVT). Also, the models will be equipped with mono and plug-in all-wheel drive.
Mitsubishi Outlander of the Year
Such keen interest in the domestic consumer official dealer Rolf Import explains Mitsubishi in Russia by the popularity of the brand's cars, which is much higher than in other countries. Therefore, it was decided to launch local production of new Mitsubishi Outlander in Kaluga for the convenience of Russian buyers.
Where is the Mitsubishi Outlander assembled?
Mid-size crossover Mitsubishi Outlander, was launched by Mitsubishi Corporation in 2001. This car is a front-wheel drive or plug-in all-wheel drive SUV belonging to the K1 segment. The choice was provided by a 2-liter 4G63 engine and a 2.4-liter 4G64 unit, complete with a 4-speed semi-automatic gearbox. A year after the start of serial production, a more powerful 2-liter power unit from Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution # 8212 4G63T began to be installed on the Mitsubishi Outlander.

The premiere of the 3rd generation Mitsubishi Outlander took place in the spring of the year at the Geneva Motor Show. There is practically no difference in the possibility of transforming the interior between the new and the previous generation of cars, it can also be 5 or 7-seater, but at the same time there is more space for transporting luggage. But the exterior of the updated version of "Outlander" has noticeably changed.

In addition, thanks to the well-established production on the territory of Russia, it is possible to reduce the time for issuing a car to a buyer.
It is worth noting that at the moment this model almost 10% consists of spare parts that are produced by us. In particular, we manufacture armchairs, glass, some body parts and an exhaust system. It is expected that in a year, our production will be able to produce other parts and assemblies, and it will be possible to bring the level of localization to a third, which will have a better impact on the cost. New assemblies of cars from Kaluga went on sale this year, no differences from Japanese models here it is neither in appearance nor in quality.

Mitsubishi ASX changes place of residence
Mitsubishi announced that soon new crossover ASX can change the "registration" address. The car, also known as the Outlander Sport, is currently being assembled at a Japanese factory. However, due to the rather high exchange rate of the yen, its export abroad turns out to be unprofitable.
The management of the Japanese concern is considering the possibility of transferring production to an American enterprise in the state of Illinois. It is currently undergoing a global modernization worth about $ 100 million, and the assembly of crossovers will begin in the summer of the year.
It is expected that the circulation of the ASX model at the American plant will be 50 thousand copies per year. The car will be supplied from the USA to the markets of the Middle East, Latin America and Russia.
Whether the change of "place of residence" will affect the cost of the Mitsubishi ASX model, no one can say yet.

Name Mitsubishi translated from Japanese as "three diamonds" and comes from the well-known emblem of this company. It was invented by the founder of the company Yataro Iwasaki, combining oak leaves from the coat of arms of the Tosa clan and three rhombuses located one above the other - the coat of arms of his clan. It is the support of the Tosa clan that Yataro Iwasaki owes his achievements, so the company received the name Mitsubishi, not Iwasaki. In addition, the "diamond" emblem also has a semantic meaning.
Where are the individual Mitsubishi models assembled?
Each of the stones symbolizes one of the three principles of Mitsubishi's work: openness to international cooperation, honesty and social responsibility.
During the First World War, Mitsubishi supported the military strategy of the state and produced warships and aircraft. In those years, the automotive industry was not an easy and unprofitable business, all cars, as a rule, were assembled by hand. Nevertheless, in 1917, Mitsubishi produced the first Japanese conveyor-assembled car called Model A. And in 1918, the T1 truck, which was more in demand at that time, saw the light. In the 30s, the company introduced many innovations, including the first in Japan diesel engine, diesel buses, all-wheel drive trucks, etc.
After defeat in the Second World War, Mitsubishi was forcibly split into 44 small independent friends from each other of the company. Only in 1954, some enterprises merged again into the Mitsubishi Corporation, while others remained independent to this day and retained the word Mitsubishi in their name. In the 60s, the Japanese economy began to grow, the standard of living of the population increased and, accordingly, the demand for passenger cars... Mitsubishi responded by issuing an economical mass Mitsubishi sedan 500, which has gained immense popularity. It was followed by Rosa buses, Mitsubishi 360 (Minica prototype), the larger and more comfortable Colt 600 and Canter light trucks. 1964 was marked by the merger of three large companies, into which Mitsubishi Heavy Industries was at one time fragmented. Then several Colt models were released, which receive well-deserved recognition and successfully compete in various rallies.
The history of Mitsubishi crossovers begins with the release of the Pajero (Montero) SUV in 1982. He was an overwhelming success and won a huge number of awards and titles. In the 90s, in order to build on the success of the off-road direction, the company releases the first compact crossovers Mitsubishi: Pajero Mini and Pajero Jr. In 2003, the first Outlander appears, and in 2010 the compact Mitsubishi ASX.

Although crossover Mitsubishi Outlander in translation it means "stranger", Europe accepted him with quite good activity, which very soon gave him greater popularity among cars of a similar class.
Where is Mitsubishi assembled?
It was intended to take its rightful place in a growing number of crossovers that combine an urban SUV and a sports station wagon. Outlander is the most the best option vehicle for residents of modern large cities, since it can maintain safety regardless of different circumstances and weather conditions on the way.
The Outlander has an original combination of sporty style and a touch of elegance, thanks to the combination rear lights, tubular roof rails and a rear spoiler with integrated brake light. The appearance of a high-speed car is formed by an elongated body shape and transparent taillights... The McPherson-type suspension used in front, together with the multi-link rear, made it possible to give an almost "light" character of handling with high stability in behavior at high speed.

The equipment consists of a 2-liter 136-horsepower or 2.4-liter 160-horsepower engine. The 2.4-liter engine is equipped with a special electronic system, which changes the valve timing and valve lift (MIVEC). It helps to combine high torque and great economy. At the same time, such an engine is equipped with a five-speed mechanics or a well-proven sequential automatic.
High safety for passengers in Mitsubishi Outlander keep good airbags and 3-point seat belts as well as head restraints for the driver and all passengers. In addition, the smallest passengers will not be endangered thanks to the interlocked locks. rear doors and a special attachment for a child seat.
Mitsubishi outlander
Crossover Mitsubishi Outlander exactly the car that is needed for driving on city roads due to its excellent handling, cross-country ability and good front view through a high seating position, as well as providing increased comfort. With the help of the third row of seats, it can accommodate up to seven people, which, when folded down, also allows you to increase the space for luggage. In addition, the redesigned interior and aggressive plastic of the side panels make it possible to notice its luxurious design, which gives it a huge "plus" when choosing an SUV.
News about insignificantly updated crossover Mitsubishi Outlander-2014 the snake was posted on our site about a week ago.
For the first time, representatives of the official distributor and importer of Mitsubishi cars in Russia, the MMC Rus company, very politely asked to remove the information from the site. It seems like it is not approved by the "center" and officially everything will be explained and confirmed on May 12.
Well, okay, maybe some incredible know-how will be applied there, and we are misleading people by publishing news reports, guided by information from unverified sources. Removed ...
By and large, we were in for a bummer. No, information from the press service " MMS Rus”Sent it today, everything is all right with that. Only the official data are virtually indistinguishable from the old, unconfirmed ones. Moreover, the fact sheet contains only 3 paragraphs, of which there is only one on the case.
If we were lazy, we would have posted the old version of the text on the site. As it turned out now, it is quite relevant. However, we love the reader and will not fall so low.
So, restyling Mitsubishi Outlander-2014
As we wrote earlier, a significant restyling update Mitsubishi Outlander 2014 can not be named. The same Chinese manufacturers cars change in the filling of cars more from batch to batch than Mitsubishi in their new generations of vehicles.
What changed? Previously, all Mitsubishi's front end design was based on the ideology of either Jet Fight (a striking example of the ASX model) or Fuji Mountain (an example of Mitsubishi Pajero Sport).
Where is Mitsubishi Outlander assembled?
Updated, apparently especially for the Russian market, Outlander stuck somewhere in the middle. The grille of its radiator has moved away from the Fuji Mountain concept, but it is also far from Jet Fight.
Rumor has it that the new front end layout compensates for 7% of the drag. Well, maybe ... You can read about the design features of Mitsubishi models on specialized forums. We will not focus on this now.
According to the official very blurred version, the crossover "in the new season" received changes in the suspension settings, noise insulation indicators, as well as in the variator cooling system. What exactly this means is not deciphered anywhere. Let's leave it as it is now.
In appearance both bumpers were slightly tweaked, black wheel arch extensions appeared, emphasizing the off-road inclinations of the Japanese, as well as rear combined LED lights. For some versions, the function of heating the wiper zone has become available.
Again, from unofficial sources it became known that the crossover got a flat floor and an increased trunk opening.
Advertising price for Mitsubishi outlander in the amount of 999,000 rubles has been preserved. However, for this money, only a mono-drive version awaits you, in which there are no even basic options such as music, air conditioning, ESP or heated mirrors. For a car for a million, this is some kind of tin! It is clear that these versions exist purely nominally. The price of human car equipment has risen by 20-30 thousand rubles and starts at 1.1 million rubles.
In all honesty, it is worth noting that the car is a good idea. A controversial design, yes, some flaws in the engine belts - yes, but in general in this class the only alternative to the Japanese in terms of status, reliability and size is the Ford Kuga.
