What brand of rubber is installed regularly and what quality is it?
Question: What brand of rubber is installed regularly and what quality is it? Are Lancers equipped with winter tires in winter?
Answer: The Lancer X comes with Dunlop SPORT 2052 tires from the factory. In the opinion of most Lancer drivers, the quality of rubber leaves much to be desired ... The rubber is very noisy (basit), and also poorly overcomes water obstacles. Even before buying a car, it is worth thinking about purchasing higher quality rubber, although here, even so, opinions differ a little among the owners and this rubber suits a certain part of motorists. Before buying a new Lancer X, we recommend that you test drive and evaluate the quality of this brand (and specific model) of rubber yourself. For reviews of this and other rubber brands, visit special forum section dedicated to tires and wheels on Lancer X .

Vehicle Warranty Questions
Question: Under what conditions can I be voided from the warranty? How long is the warranty?
Answer: The manufacturer's warranty is given for a period of 3 years or 100,000 km. Your car can be removed from the warranty only if it is proved that the failed car unit failed through no fault of the manufacturer. For example, if you yourself violated the integrity of the car's electrical wiring. When you install additional equipment (for example ...) not from an authorized dealer, this does not mean at all that you can be removed from the warranty for this. If this service has a license to carry out certain works, then you can safely use its services. The most frequent "third-party" services are services for installing car audio and security systems. Just to make sure your machine is being handled by professionals, ask for a professional license. If you violated the operation of any node, again, this does not mean that you have completely lost the right to warranty. You can only be denied a warranty with respect to this node.
You can read which parts of the car are covered by the warranty in the brochure of the service book of your car. Everything is described there in great detail.

Where are Mitsubishi cars assembled? The official importer of cars of this brand to Russia for a long time was the Rolf company; You probably have seen more than once the rear of Mitsubishi cars, along with the name of the model, also a nameplate with the inscription "Rolf" - it was this company (more precisely, a group of companies) that was officially importing cars from Japanese factories into Russia - today it is MMS Rus LLC.
Meanwhile, models for Russia are produced at the following plants of the company:
So, where are specific Mitsubishi car models assembled?
Where is the Mitsubishi Lancer assembled?
One of the best-selling Mitsubishi models in Russia, which has gained popularity due to its aggressive appearance, like its main competitor - Toyota Corolla - is a "purebred" Japanese and is assembled at the Mizushima Plant in southern Japan, one might say, on a neighboring conveyor with right hand drive models. At the same time, simple Lancers and the dream of youth - Lancer Evolution are assembled at this plant. Nevertheless, the model does not come to Russia with such a strong rise in price as the same competitor of the model - Corolla, and the quality of Lancer surpasses many other competitors of the model.
Where is the Mitsubishi ASX assembled?
Another of the most popular models in our country, but already as a compact crossover at an affordable price, the Mitsubishi ASX is no longer quite Japanese. The model, in addition to its native place of production, is also assembled in the USA at a plant in Illinois. And from Japan, we receive models assembled at the Nagoya plant in Okazaki. It is difficult to say which car production in our country is more: Japanese or American, however, it is believed that the latter are no worse than those of Asian assembly and even in some way surpass the "thoroughbred" Japanese in terms of suspension - occasionally there are complaints about creaking in the elements Suspensions in Mitsubishi ASX are of Japanese assembly, which is practically absent in American copies of the car.
It should also be noted that ASX models began to be produced in the USA after restyling in 2012 (2013 model year) - until that moment, all Mitsubishi of this model came to us from Japan.
Where is the Mitsubishi Outlander assembled?
And here is the first model of the automaker, which is produced in our country - the Mitsubishi Outlander is produced at the Kaluga Automobile Plant PSMA Rus in Russia. However, the model of the Russian assembly will be able to take more or less fresh years - Outlander began to be produced in our country at the end of 2012 and disassembled to Russia they began to be delivered in their third restyled generation.
As a result, we get that:
- models until 2012 (2 generations) produced in Russia - exclusively from Japan;
- models of the 2010-2012 model year (third generation) can be found in both Russian and Japanese production;
- and models after 2012 (the fourth and so on generations) are exclusively of Russian assembly.
However, there is no talk of quality deterioration due to the relocation of the assembly to our country for a number of different reasons, the main of which, of course, is strict control over the quality of the Russian Outlander assembly and the fact that this assembly is SKD, and the localization of Russian components is only to glass elements and exhaust system components.
Where is the Mitsubishi Pajero assembled?
The legendary car, the dream of millions and one of the first SUVs that began to be mentioned in the criminal world of our country in the dashing 90s. Pajero is one of the oldest models of the automaker - in 2015 it turned 25 years old, during which the model went through 5 updates, which, in general, is not so much when compared with modern realities, but also a lot, because you need to understand that this is a true SUV .
And for potential buyers of this model, we have good news, Mitsubishi Pajero has always been produced exclusively in Japan.
Where is the Mitsubishi Pajero Sport assembled?
Another real SUV of the Japanese "diamond" (see the Mitsubishi logo) and the no less legendary Pajero Sport has, perhaps, its most multinational history: the generations that have been produced since the 2013 model year are produced exclusively in Russia at the same Peugeot Citroën Mitsubishi plant Automotive Rus" near Kaluga, models from 2008 to 2012 were brought to Russia from Thailand, and the very first models, starting from 1998, were "thoroughbred" Japanese, although in 2004 equipment from the USA also began to be delivered to Russia (in Japan At the same time, Sports for Russia also did not stop gathering). Here is such an interesting geography of deliveries that Mitsubishi Pajero Sport had in the entire history of the existence of the model!
Where is the Mitsubishi I-Miev assembled?
The first Mitsubishi company, which not so long ago managed to see the widest expanses of the Russian Federation, is also assembled exclusively in Japan - at the Mitsushima plant in Kurashiki.

One of the first associations that we have when we mention Japan, along with the words "land of the rising sun", Fujiyama, sakura, is the name of the company - "Mitsubishi".
This car manufacturer from Japan, even before the collapse of the union, excited the minds of domestic motorists. Therefore, when the concern appeared with its products in Russia, the interest in it from local drivers was already very high. Now, of course, the enthusiasm has faded a bit, but there are still enough fans of this brand. And, of course, they are interested in - Where is Mitsubishi assembled? and what is the difference between one or another assembly.
Mitsubishi in the Russian automotive market
In English transcription, this name is written as Mitsubishi, in Russian texts, in addition to Mitsubishi, there are spellings of Mitsubishi, Mitsubishi. However, all these are different ways of writing, which are used by not too knowledgeable citizens to find out where Mitsubishi is assembled for Russia and whose production is better to trust.
This industrial giant emerged almost a century and a half ago, in 1870, as a shipbuilding company, also engaged in the repair of ships and the organization of their insurance.
After the First World War, the concern took up the aircraft industry and continued to produce military aircraft until the defeat of Japan in the Second World War and the forced reorganization with the transition to peaceful rails.
Now the holding produces a variety of products from a radio telescope to electronic products. But the Mitsubishi brand is best known in the modern world, and in Russia in particular, for the family of cars of the same name.
The car-producing part of the Mitsubishi holding, called Mitsubishi Motors. It is a global auto concern headquartered in Tokyo, confidently entering the top twenty largest companies in the world ranking in terms of output.
The manufacturer's machines are very popular in our country. Russian car enthusiasts highly appreciate Mitsubishi Lancer and Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution, Mitsubishi Outlander and Mitsubishi Pajero SUVs, as well as less popular products of the Japanese auto giant. True, the ongoing economic downturn has led over the past year to a reduction in sales and even the withdrawal of some models from the Russian market.
The first Mitsubishi cars were imported into our country by residents of the Far East directly from the car markets of Japan. Naturally, these were right-hand drive cars, usually already with considerable mileage.
But the attractive price/quality ratio has led to a rapid increase in the volume and organization of sales of cars with this brand in Russia and even the creation of its own assembly plant.
For a long time, Rolf was the official importer of Mitsubishi products for Russia. This largest dealer network in our country, founded in 1991 by Sergey Petrov, has now been transformed into a group of companies of the same name, which is part of the MMS Rus holding company.
One of the main activities of the holding is the import and distribution of both new cars and those with non-zero mileage.

Where are Mitsubishi cars sold in Russia assembled?
Naturally, potential buyers of Mitsubishi family cars are interested not only in organizing their import and sales. Perhaps, customers are mainly concerned about the place of their production, that is, the question of where Mitsubishi is assembled for the Russian market.
Let's consider this question in more detail.
1. The most significant part of the total number of Mitsubishi family cars sold in Russia is produced directly in Japan at the two largest automobile plants of this corporation:
Nagoya Plant in Okazaki
Mizushima Plant in Kurashiki
2. Part of the cars imported into Russia is assembled at a plant in the city of Normal, Illinois, USA. The plant is a joint venture between Mitsubishi and Chrysler, focused on supplying its products worldwide. Since 1991, the plant has been 100 percent owned by a Japanese owner.
It is from here that the popular ASX crossovers enter our market. And as users say, these machines are not only not inferior to their counterparts assembled in Japan, but also significantly surpass them in quality.
3. A certain proportion of Mitsubishi Pajero models from 2008 to 2012 was assembled in Thailand. Moreover, according to a number of reviews, the quality of these machines was even higher than that of those assembled in Japan. However, the facility was closed following the devastating flood that hit Thailand in 2012.
4. In 2010, in Russia, in the city of Kaluga, a joint venture between Mitsubishi (30% of shares) and French firms Peugeot and Citroen (70%), called Peugeot Citroën Mitsubishi Automotive Rus (PSMA Rus), was put into operation.
Several Mitsubishi models are assembled here, in particular the Outlander and Pajero SUVs. Moreover, after 2012, these models began to be supplied to Russian dealers only by local assembly. Even the Pajero Sport variant with reinforced engines and a completely different suspension has been produced for Russia only in Kaluga since 2013.
According to experts and buyers, these products are not inferior in quality to the Japanese cars of the same name due to the strict observance of technological discipline and assembly quality control measures at the plant. The conveyor is organized according to the SKD principle and the vast majority of components come from Japan. Parts of domestic origin are used only in double-glazed windows and the exhaust system.
Thus, all cars of the Japanese concern for the Russian market, except for Mitsubishi Outlander and Mitsubishi Pajero models manufactured after 2012, are manufactured in Japan, Thailand or the USA with a guarantee.
In Japan, the plant in Kuroshaki also produces the company's first electric car, which has been produced since 2012, called the Mitsubishi I-Miev.
Many motorists are interested in where they produce individual ones. For example, a man has a Pajero and he wonders where his brothers are made. In this article, we will see where certain Mitsubishi models are produced.
Where is collected Mitsubishii 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.
