Who collects Mitsubishi Outlander. Mitsubishi ASX: where they collect a car and how not to be mistaken with the choice. Where collect Mitsubishi ASX

The Japanese car Mitsubishi Outlander is in great demand in the Russian market. This, in truth, charming and original SUV, passed through several restyings, for all the time of its existence. A spacious "Japanese" is created, both for riding on the roads of the city and for his faces. The Japanese concern is engaged in the release of this car model since 2001. Such a car can be bolded to call the vehicle for each person leading and loving active life. The main issue for many consumers remains: where are Mitsubishi outlander collect for Russian buyers? After the second generation of the SUV came out, since 2005, he was collected in Russia at a factory in Kaluga. Production has established at the official enterprise Mitsubishi. Until 2012 in Russian automobile salons, the outlander model occupied only ten percent of the total number of cars. To date, these indicators have grown to thirty percent. In the Kaluga factory, engineers are engaged in the manufacture of some body elements and components for the salon. Details are produced by the Japanese. A year ago, Mitsubishi car Outlander survived restyling. Now, the automobile enterprise "Psam Rus" also collects the model taking into account the innovations of restyling.

The most first cars of the Outlander models were collected only in Japan. Today, enterprises for the production of this car are in the provinces:

• Okayama
• Kurasiki
• Okazaki.

After some time, the production of the Japanese was established in the Philippines (Riesal and Kinta). Then, an SUV was supplied to the Russian automotive market precisely from the country of the rising sun. Of course, it was strongly reflected at the cost of the car, given the incitement of the transfers. It is known that the quality of the vehicle depends on where Mitsubishi Outlander is produced. There was practically no complaints to the Japanese SUV. The only moment is the power steering after operation on Russian roads.

Until 2014, on the Mitsubishi car, the Outlander of Russian production came complaints from the owners. Basically, people were unhappy with poor-quality insulation and unfavorable suspension. But after the updates under the updates last year, about such inconveniences quickly ordered. The former in this SUV remained the salon decorated with cheap plastic. The cheapness has never rejoiced buyers, and unfortunately, this vehicle has not exceeded. After several months of operation, cheap plastic details make themselves felt.

Hard plastic begins to creak and irritate drivers and passengers. Manufacturers, some elements of the cabin were covered with silver, but after a little time, they begin to climb. Also, we can not not remember the Russian automotive services Outlander. Car owners fall within a few weeks to expect the delivery of parts to their car, besides, the service is significantly "beats the pocket." Therefore, before buying a "Japanese" to yourself, ask in the cabin, where Mitsubishi Outlander is released.

One of the first associations, which arise from us at the mention of Japan, along with the words "Country of the Rising Sun", Fuji, Sakura, is the name of the company - Mitsubishi.

This manufacturer of cars from Japan before the collapse of the Union blinked the minds of domestic motorists. Therefore, when the concern appeared with its products in Russia, the interest in it from the local drivers was already very large. Now, of course, enthusiasm is a bit rusty, but the fans of this brand still have enough. And their understandable thing interests - where Mitsubishi collect And what is the difference between this or that assembly.

Mitsubishi in the Russian automotive market

In English-speaking transcription, this name is written as Mitsubishi, in Russian-language texts, in addition to Mitsubishi, there are options for writing Mitsubishi, Mitsubishi. However, all these are different ways of writing that are not too informed citizens to find out where Mitsubishi collect for Russia and whose production is better to trust.

This industrial giant originated for almost a century ago, in 1870, as a shipbuilder of the Naya company, which also was engaged in the repair of ships and organizing their insurance.

After World War I, the concern was engaged in aircraft and continued to produce military aircraft up to the defeat of Japan in World War II and forced reorganization with the transition to peaceful rails.

Now the holding produces a variety of products from radio telescope to electronic products. But the greatest fame in the modern world, and in Russia, in particular, the trademark of Mitsubishi provides the same family of passenger cars.

Maching parts of Mitsubishi Holding, called Mitsubishi Motors. This is an autoconcern of global importance with headquarters in Tokyo, which is confidently incoming in the twenty largest companies in the world ranking in terms of products manufactured.

The manufacturer's machines are very popular in our country. Russian motorists highly appreciate Mitsubishi Lancer and Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution, Mitsubishi Outlander and Mitsubishi Pajero SUVs, as well as smaller products of Japanese auto giant. True, the economic recession has led the last year to reduce sales and even the departure of the models from the Russian market.

The first cars of Mitsubishi were imported into our country inhabitants of the Far East directly from the car markets of Japan. Naturally, these were cars with the right steering, usually with considerable mileage.

But an attractive price / quality ratio led to a rapid increase in the volume and organization of car sales with this brand in Russia and even creating their own assembly production.

The official importer of Mitsubishi products for Russia for a long time was Rolf. This largest dealer network, founded in 1991 by Sergey Petrov, was transformed into the group of companies that are part of the Holding MMS RUS LLC.

One of the main activities of the holding activity is import and distribution of both new cars and having a nonzero mileage.

Where are the cars of Mitsubishi sold in Russia?

Naturally, the potential buyers of the Mitsubishi family of Mitsubishi is interested in not only the organization of their import and sales. Maybe mainly clients concerns their place of production, that is, the question where Mitsubishi collects for the Russian market.

Consider this question more.

1. The most essential part of the total number of cars of the Mitsubishi family sold in Russia is produced directly in Japan on the two largest auto plants of this corporation:

nagoya Plant plant in Obadzaki

plant Mizushima Plant in the city of Kurasiki

2. Part of the cars imported to Russia is going to the factory in the city of Normal (Normal), Illinois, USA. The plant is a joint venture of Mitsubishi and Chrysler, focused on the supply of their products around the world. Since 1991, the plant by 100 percent belongs to the Japanese owner.

It is from here that the Popular ASX crossovers come to our market. And as users say, these cars are not just not inferior to their fellows collected in Japan, but also significantly exceed them in quality.

3. Some fraction of car model Mitsubishi Pajero from 2008 until 2012 was going to Thailand. And for a number of reviews, the quality of these machines was even higher than those collected in Japan. However, the company was closed after the crushing flood in 2012, which had fallen into Thailand.

4. In 2010 in Russia, in the city of Kaluga, a joint venture of Mitsubishi (30% of shares) and French firms Peugeot and Citroen (70%), named Peugeot Citroën Mitsubishi Automotive Rus (RUS PSMA) were commissioned.

There are several models of developing Mitsubishi, in particular SUVs Outlander and Pajero. Moreover, after 2012 to the Russian dealers, these models began to arrive only by local assembly. Even the option of Pajero Sport with enhanced engines and a completely different suspension, since 2013 is produced for Russia only in Kaluga.

According to the reviews of specialists and buyers, this products are not inferior in the quality of the same name Japanese cars due to the hard compliance at the technological discipline plant and the assembly quality control measures. The conveyor is organized by the large-sized principle and the overwhelming majority of the components comes from Japan. Details of domestic origin are used only in double-glazed windows and exhaust system.

Thus, all the cars of the Japanese concern for the Russian market, in addition to the models of Mitsubishi Outlander and Mitsubishi Pajero release after 2012, with a guarantee are manufactured in Japan, Thailand or USA.

In Japan, the factory in the city of Kuroshaki is also produced from 2012 the first electric vehicle developed by Mitsubishi I-MIEV.

The crisis of 2014-2016 in the Russian car market led to very interesting changes in model rules of a number of companies working in our country. Mitsubishi, for example, the main percussion unit was the mid-sized Outlander crossover, manufactured in Kaluga. The magazine "The engine" saw with his own eyes, as Japanese crossovers with Russian registration are produced, and learned how many invarious Russian details in them.

Plant Mitsubishi and Peugeot-Citroen (PSMA Rus), located in the Kaluga region, was founded in January 2009, and earned in 2010. In September of the same year, the crossover Mitsubishi Outlander rose to the enterprise conveyor - then he was called Outlander XL. From that moment and to the present, the plant has released more than 75 thousand "Autlenders": both the former XL and the current Outlander III collected, in contrast to the predecessor, using the CKD small-size assembly technology (Complete Knock Down).

Production facilities of the plant "PSMA Rus" include the body shop, as well as the workshop of painting and assembly. In the first and last two lines: c-segment (for PEUGEOT and Citroen passenger cars) and SUV (for Mitsubishi crossovers). But the cars of all three grades together are painted together, on the same line. There are no stamping production at the plant: the details of the stamping are supplied to the "PSMA Rus" from the enterprises located in Russia, BENTERER and GESTAMP.

The process of assembling the Kaluga Outlander begins in the body workshop, divided into a number of sections: preparation, welding, installation of mounted elements and refinement of the body. Body details that should enroll on the main welding line, operators are manufactured manually at special posts of preparatory sections from ready-made stamped parts. The finished parts of the body go to the main line of welding, and at the beginning of the body is also collected manually, and then goes to a robotic Body Flexor station. On the welding line SUV of the Kaluga plant, a total of 26 robots work, the largest of which is a height of 7 m.

From the main welding line, the body enters the installation site of mounted parts, where the operators install doors, hood and trunk. Then, on quality control posts, specialists check the finished body: they estimate its geometry and identify visual defects like a dentin, scratch, etc.

Different kinds of small defects are eliminated at the stage of refinement of the body, after which it goes to the paint shop. There he has to spend about 9 hours, during which ten robots are working on it, which is applied on the body about 6 kg of various types of coatings.

Paints used on PSMA Rus are manufactured exclusively on a water basis (concern for ecology!), And the only solvent-based material is varnish. All wastewater before getting into the regional manifold, pass special processing at the exit from the factory

Before the finished body falls on the assembly line, the doors remove it - it makes it easier to access the salon to the interior of the machine. The doors are collected on a separate line and installed on a car at one of the final assembly stages. In the first of them, operators put on Outlander electrical equipment, dashboard, airbags, interior trim and noise insulation, suspension racks, headlights and ABS block.

But the most interesting thing happens on the section of the mechanics: here they collect and install the brake system, suspension, exhaust system and power installation. And then the so-called "wedding" occurs: a transmission assembly with the engine is connected to the body. On the same site, bumpers, wheels and protective "screens" under the body are put on the body - at the outlet Outlander is almost similar to the "commercial" car. "Almost" - because after the section of the mechanics, the car is filled with technical fluids, the seats, the steering wheel removed earlier and paste the windows: windshield - with the help of a special manipulator, rear and side - with the help of suckers.

In the final part of the assembly line there are inspection posts in the light tunnel: operators check the appearance of machines, gaps, door locks; In addition, cars are tested by electronic systems, wheel installation angles (on a special stand) and tightness (in a special soul), and are also tested on the test track.

The degree of localization of the production of Kaluga Mitsubishi Outlander is at the moment 32.8%. By the end of the year, the company intends to achieve a level of 36%. In Russia, Mitsubishi component suppliers are purchased glass, bumpers, seats, soundproofing materials, airbags, cooling and stamping system, exhaust system, wipers and tank of glass ware, tires, steering parts, lock and ventilation grille, fuel and brake tubes dashboard

At the same time, the overwhelming majority of suppliers of these parts are actually foreign companies operating in Russia. The original Russian of them is only one - "standardplast", supplying outdoor noise insulating mats on PSMA Rus.

Why not expand the pool of similar suppliers? As the Deputy General Director of the plant, Yoshia Inamori, told us, with Russian spare parts manufacturers, sometimes it is difficult to agree on the conditions of delivery.

"We wanted to buy a seat from one of the Russian companies, but we needed a chairs in the finished form - we do not have the opportunity to collect them at yourself. However, the Russian potential partner was ready to supply them only disassembled. As a result, we began to buy the seats of the American brand Lear, "Mr. Inamori said.

What is the result?

In conclusion, about the production line of the Kaluga plant Mitsubishi. At the moment there is only one model in it - the Outlander crossover. In the Russian representative office of the company, as follows from the statements of its leadership, they think about expanding a number of cars produced under Kaluga, but at the expense of which models, while the secret.

It would be logical to assume that a compact ASX crossover can be pasted on the PSMA Rus conveyor, which will return to Russia already this year. However, most likely, he in the near future will be ahead of Pajero Sport. In the process of excursion to the plant, we saw a couple of such SUVs, one of which stood under the cover, and the engineers of the enterprise investigated the engineers of the enterprise.

According to Mr. Inamori, the decision on the launch of the production of Pajero Sport in Kaluga has not yet been accepted, however, the plant management has acquired two of these SUVs so that the specialists have studied their device in advance. As for the prospects of the Russian car market, then in Mitsubishi they look at them with careful optimism.

"In general, the demand in the Russian automotive market shows a positive trend, in connection with which we are positive and plan to increase the volume of production by the end of 2017 by 5% compared with 2016," said the Deputy Director General of the PSMA Rus plant.

The first medium-sized crossovers Outlander Japanese company Mitsubishi released to the world market in 2001. After another 4 years, the manufacturer has already presented the second generation, gathering on the new GS platform. And by 2012, the third version of the "Parketnik" appeared. The Outlander 2017 sold now is a third-generation restyling. Despite the 16 years of release, the machine is still popular - even among domestic consumers, whose purchasing power has fallen a little over the past few years. And Russian motorists are interested in where Mitsubishi outlander is collected now - and they collected before, as many choose models from the secondary automotive market.

Where did the first Outlander models going?

The first businesses where Mitsubishi Outlander collect from the very beginning of its release are located in Japan. In addition, the production of a number of models of the company are located in the Philippines. However, the most popular plants where crossovers collected for the Russian market and produce them so far for Europe and Asia are:

• enterprise Nagoya Plant, located in Obadzaki Japanese Prefecture Aichi. One of the largest plants of Mitsubishi, where most of its products is produced;
• Mizushima Plant, an enterprise located in Okayama Prefecture (Krasiki). The second most important plant of the autocontraser, collected hundreds of thousands of cars. Including Mitsubishi outlanders of all three generations.

Fig. 2. Nagoya Plant Enterprise from a bird's eye view.

For the first 4 years, this model was supplied to Europe, and in our country's salons only from these two enterprises. And on the quality of its assembly, there were practically no complaints. However, due to the poor quality of the road surface, even the crossover had problems with the chassis and steering. In addition, delivery from Japanese plants led to a noticeable increase in the cost of the machine. As a result, the company decided to produce cars and in the territory of the Russian Federation.

Assembly lines in the USA

In early 2010, the manufacturer of the crossover was made a statement that the ASX model that comes to the North American market as Outlander Sport will be collected in the United States. The new country in the list of Mitsubishi enterprises allowed to reduce shipping costs and increase the competitiveness of the car. The place where the American version of the car was to be collected, chose the plant in Illinois.

By 2016, the year it turned out that the Outlander Sport produced in the US was not so popular as it was assumed. The demand for crossovers did not achieve even initial forecasts of 50,000 units per year. Therefore, now the assembly lines in Illinois are stopped, and the plant became interested in Rivian Automotive, which gathering the budget electric vehicles here. And yet, it is possible to meet the Mitsubishi model in the model of the Mitsubishi model - especially since their release stopped just over a year ago.

Models for the domestic market

Question, where to collect Mitsubishi outlander in Russia, worries domestic motorists recently - from 2012. Although the first crossovers of the local assembly appeared back in 2005. From that time we can say that Outlander is available at the enterprise in Kaluga. Although in fact the car is only collected in Russia - all parts, starting from 2005 to 2012, exclusively Japanese. And in the process of producing cars, specialists from Japan are involved.

Thus, all crossover models for Russia can be released:

• until 2005 - only in Japanese enterprises;
• in 2005-2011 - in 90% of cases in Japan, 10% are collected from Japanese parts in Kaluga;
• from 2012 to almost every third Outlander in the Russian Auto Show, it can be said that it was produced by the Kaluga enterprise.

Starting from the 3rd generation, almost all of these crossovers were completely collected at the Russian factory. And the production established by the Japanese company together with the Italian autoconecer PSA fully copes with demand for the model. Moreover, recently, there are almost no complaints from consumers about its quality.

Quality of the model of the Russian assembly

The second generation of outlander began to be supplied to the Russian market from Japan and from one of the domestic enterprises - PSMA Rus. And, although at first there were no more than 10% of all models sold in Russia, since 2012, the production line producing crossovers increased its production volumes. By 2015, the figure reached 30 percent - and, it means that no more than 70% Outlander will continue to come to us from abroad. Moreover, from 2014, when the manufacturers have made changes to the plant's production plan, the models are collected using new procedures.

Russian motorists going to purchase a Japanese crossover should be aware that only 10% of the parts of the machine can be attributed to Kaluga in Kaluga:

• car chairs;
• glass;
• exhaust system.

A certain part of the details comes from Japan. The remaining elements of the car makes and collects staff, almost fully consisting of the Japanese. And the assembly, adjustment and testing are carried out by domestic masters. The leadership of the Russian branch assumes in the future to produce more details to Outlander on its own, which will even further reduce its cost and should not affect quality. Although, according to buyers, how not to collect the car in Russia, its reliability will still be lower than the Japanese version.

Complaints on the domestic version of the crossover

Until the beginning of 2014, there were many complaints about the poor sound insulation of the cabin and not too high-quality suspension to the outlines collected in Russia. However, immediately after restyling the number of claims decreased. New production methods made it possible to forget about many problems even for models manufactured in our country for sale in the Russian market.

Among the few remaining minuses of the model is worth noting the quality of the interior decoration. Used in the domestic version of the Japanese manufacturer, cheap plastic is not too attractive neither in appearance or to the touch. In addition, the material begins to creak less than six months of operation of the machine. Another disadvantage of the place where the Russian Outlander is produced is the lack of original spare parts. Therefore, in the event of a breakdown, it is necessary to wait for delivery from the official dealer for months, and the cost of maintenance of the model is higher.

But the model is equipped with good modern security systems. During the crash tests according to the EURO NCAP standard, the car that gathered in Kaluga was rated in 5 stars, which is the maximum number of points. According to the results of the verification, the crossover received from 64 to 100 percent of the ranking in all categories.

Where collect Mitsubishi Outlander Updated: August 11, 2017 by the author: dimajp.

Mitsubishi ASX is a compact crossover from a cult Japanese autocontraser. In the Russian Federation, this model appeared in 2010 immediately after the first appearance at the exhibition in Geneva. Since then, the Japanese crossover has become pretty popular model in our country. It is not surprising that every year wishes to buy Mitsubishi ASX is becoming more and more.

The car has a whole list of positive features, but in general they form an excellent concept of the crossover. In Russia, among motorists, the question of where Mitsubishi ACS is collected for delivery to our country is very popular. The readers of our resource are also interested in this information, so in today's material we will pay attention to this.

Places of production of Crossovers

At the very beginning of the formation of the concept of Mitsubishi ASX, this model assumed the combination of the main features of the innovative crossover: accessibility, quality and otmal functionality. Creating such a car, without exaggeration, requires high-quality equipment. Due to the absence of such in the territory of the Russian Federation, Mitsubishi ASX is not produced.

Since 2010, the crossover began to produce in Japan, More precisely, at the Zhojya Plant plant in the provision. Until recently, the model from Mitsubishi was produced precisely there for two main reasons:

• Availability at the plant full production cycle. That is, the model is cast, and is collected in one place.
• The ability to test the crossover on the specialized track is available.

Despite the good conditions for the production of Mitsubishi in Japan, several years ago it was transferred to North America, namely, in several US states. Many connoisseurs of the model "ASX", such cases were slightly alert, but, by the way, the excitement is unnecessary.

The fact is that the US plants are not equipped worse than Japanese, and the assembly process on them is completely similar. Based on this, it is necessary to state - that Mitsubishi ASH from the provision, that from the USA there are identical models in both quality and concept. If we speak specifically about the versions of the crossover for delivery in the Russian Federation, they are produced in Illinois at exactly the same factory that is in Japan.

Summarizing the above information, it is worth answering the question asked in the article - "Where are Mitsubishi Ash collect for Russia?". At the moment, the crossover assembly is carried out only in the United States, but the versions of the model from Japan can be found on the market. That's how.

Note! Despite the recent production of the crossover in the United States, today the models from this country prevail over Japanese. Wanting to buy a version of the car from Japan, you will have to talk seriously with her search.

A couple of words about the quality of assembly in the USA and Japan

Earlier it was noted that the quality of assembling of Japanese and American "Ashs" is the same. In general, it is, of course, but if you delve into the essence of the question, you can find some differences. Let the latter and are not significant.

First, it is worth noting the quality of the paint coating. Crossovers from the USA, it is noticeably worse than the indigenous "Japanese". Of course, the difference is not so substantial, but many car owners note the rapid scratch and the sprinkle of the Body of Mitsubishi Ash from the United States.

Secondly, it will be useful to note the difference as a metal casting metal. Again, in Illinois, it is slightly worse, but it is always. As the pros is noted in the autosphere, everything depends on the party of the model. In any case, the body with the body's metal has a place, and they should be kept in the mind.

In the rest of the moments that Mitsubishi Ash from Japan, that from the USA - pretty good-quality modelsone autocontraser. Naturally, in their production of a particular slope towards Russia, there is no, but cars produced at both factories can be well used on the roads of our country.

At this, perhaps, on today's theme, the most important information came to an end. We hope the material presented above, it was useful for you and gave answers to questions of interest. Good luck on the roads!
