Conclusion

Mitsubishi Grandis car r.no. Noise isolation is zero. On autobahns, the whole salon sings! The design of the suspension does not give comfort after 120 on German autobahns - this is an analogue of Zaporozhets. Rides like an UAZ. It is heavier to drive than a heavy vehicle. Volkswagen is cheaper in this class, but much more practical and comfortable. I bought it and I don’t know how to get rid of this Japanese g..na!!!
Mitsubishi Grandis, 2007
Ran 160 thousand. The car was taken from scratch in the cabin. Pros: Good dynamics during acceleration. Spacious salon. Good stability. Cons: Consumption is crazy. Plastic creaks after a year or two. The upholstery is cheap. Running weak. The metal is very thin, touch the rear sides a little - dents. The overhang of the front bumper is low, constantly clinging and breaking. Painting worthless, especially the back door (warranty repainted). There is no cruise control. There is no engine line, only 2, 4 gasoline. The cost of parts is outrageous.

Mitsubishi Grandis, 2007
Bought at the same time as my second child was born. Considered Toyota Sienna from the USA. Dynamics sufficient, as well as comfort. Enough space for the whole family + luggage. Great for travel. This summer, I easily flew from St. Petersburg to Yaroslavl almost non-stop. This snowy winter is quite enough 2WD, coupled with good winter tires and those systems that are on the S16 configuration - it rows itself, crunches and crawls out of 15-20 cm of snow porridge. Pros: Dynamic. Comfort. Convenience for families with children. Cons: Consumption in the city (do15-16l). I would like an extra step in the machine.
Mitsubishi Grandis, 2006
Dynamics on 95 gasoline is good. Manageability is top notch. Comfort in abundance both in summer and winter (-43), a very warm third row, the quality of the cabin is at its best. The trunk is very roomy, even with the third row raised. But MOT at the office. dealer - expensive, most of the work was done by himself. Pros: Consumption on the highway. Salon transformation. Spaciousness. Clearance. Maintainability. Cons: Wheels for 17 and tires for 55. It is a pity that it was discontinued - it could be changed to the same ...
➖ Low ground clearance
➖ Fuel consumption
➖ Noise isolation

➕ Roomy trunk
➕ Manageability

Owner reviews
Took Grandis by accident. Luxurious equipment, 6-seater leather interior, front seats with ventilation. For travel, and we travel four - this arrangement is the best option. The second row of seats is not inferior in comfort to the front, and the third row is spacious enough even for adult passengers. Like a truck, a car justified itself 100 percent, with a recent move, everything fit in - both beds and wardrobes (we didn’t even have to disassemble them).
For travel is also a very good car. Thanks to its excellent aerodynamics, it has very low fuel consumption: 9-10 liters per 100 km with almost full load. In the city, about 13-14 liters, although if you constantly drive through traffic jams, 15-16 liters. Visibility is very good. Landing high, large mirrors.
The dynamics are good, just remember that when driving for a long time at a constant speed, the automatic transmission goes into economy mode and the response to the accelerator pedal becomes dull. The brakes are quite effective. Handling for a minivan is normal, the ride is good, the suspension is strong.
Among the shortcomings - not a very successful profile of the driver's seat, the back gets tired on a long journey, well, I would like a little more ground clearance. Also, with a huge cabin, there are very few compartments for small items, and the sound insulation is not very good.
Andrey, review of the Mitsubishi Grandis 2.4 with a 2008 automatic
Video review
Engine and automatic transmission. The engine still works quite quietly and powerfully, and INVEC-II, despite the 4 steps, is soft and fast. I really liked the work of this tandem. I am definitely not a racer, although on the track I do not deny myself either speed or overtaking. Gasoline first poured 95th (Lukoil only), then 92nd (Lukoil only), then in different ways, then 5 thousand km on the 92nd, then 5 thousand on the 95th, the difference in dynamics is small.
I keep a log of mileage and consumption since the Grandis landed on the coast of Russia. Let me just say that over the past 30 thousand km I have not reset the consumption readings, and now it does not exceed 12 liters per 100 km at 70% city and 30% highway. This is taking into account the mandatory morning warm-ups (regardless of the time of year) and wild traffic jams over the past year.
I continue, the maximum speed of 190 km / h is “instrumental” (exactly 190 km / h, because the arrow goes beyond 180 km / h and practically presses against the rod of the odometer switch / reset button), it is achieved by a very even speed increase.
Manual shift control is a cool thing. Especially in winter and on light mud. On the passes on the road to Dzhubga and Sochi, they help a lot to keep the speed in the "momentary" range.
Interior and salon. I love. With a height of almost 180 cm, I have no problems with landing on any of the 3 rows of seats. When the driver's seat was raised to the maximum, on one of the first trips I felt like the captain of a small shuttle, looking at the triangular front windows at the counter. The backlight, albeit with an orange illumination of the speedometer edging, is perfectly readable.
Salon is completely white. This is my first car with this seat color. It looks rich, but the child can very quickly give any other color to the upholstery.
Review of Mitsubishi Grandis 2.4 (165 hp) automatic transmission 2004
Family car. Bought 3 years ago in Switzerland, manual transmission, gasoline 2.4. Simple interior design. The music is excellent. Cross-country ability in the snow is excellent - in three years it has never got stuck either in the mud or in the snow. The pendant is the strongest.
Great dynamics. Excellent handling at all speeds. With the rear seats folded down, there's a large trunk. Excellent working electronics.
The disadvantages include high fuel consumption and a modest interior and exterior design today.
Review of Mitsubishi Grandis 2.4 with mechanics in 2005
Probably, it was a good car in the period from 2003 to 2005, and then it became obsolete! There are almost no electronics, rear-view mirrors are terrible - you need to install a rear-view camera, etc.
Of the advantages, I note only a large salon. Of the shortcomings, there is zero dynamics, a low front bumper, high fuel consumption and expensive spare parts for this class of car.
Alina, review of Mitsubishi Grandis 2.4 (165 hp) AT 2007
Very comfortable family car. Especially good for long distance travel. Bus landing, conveniently arranged driver's seat, spacious and roomy interior.
The 2.4-liter engine is quite satisfying, excellent driving dynamics. Soundproofing is not entirely satisfactory, but this price segment cannot offer anything better. In 2007, its price was 785 thousand rubles.
For a large innovative car, this is a very modest price. Among classmates (except Toyota), this car is the most optimal in terms of its dimensions and the best in terms of workmanship. It is a pity that this car is no longer supplied to the Russian market.
Review about Mitsubishi Grandis 2.4 automatic 2007
There were no operational problems. The motor is high-torque, but I believe that the Japanese could make a motor to choose from in addition to the two available and, for example, 3.0 V6. They have things like this. The consumption declared by the manufacturer is not true, but I got 6.8 liters per 100 km a couple of times on the highway. In the city, an average of 13-14 liters. Gasoline pour 95th, of course.
Only used a few times when fully loaded. At the same time, it behaves cheerfully on the Crimean mountain routes, pulling on the passes. At the same time, the corresponding expense.
Driver's seat adjustments allow you to optimally customize it for yourself. On the third row, two adults up to 180 cm tall will be quite comfortable, with my 185 cm it is already uncomfortable. The second row is also flawless - spacious, comfortable, functional.
The halogen light is excellent, although I would put xenon in the foglights. The landing is symbolic on the Grandis, but if the car is operated in the city, then you just need to be more careful and careful with overhangs when parking. Still, our cars are not a crossover or an SUV.
