Mitsubishi ASX is a compact crossover from the iconic Japanese automaker. 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 a fairly popular model in our country. It is not surprising that every year there are more and more people who want to buy Mitsubishi ASX.

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

Crossover production locations

At the very beginning of the formation of the Mitsubishi ASX concept, this model assumed a combination of the main features of an innovative crossover: availability, quality and excellent functionality. The creation of such a car, without exaggeration, requires high-quality equipment. Due to the lack of such in the territory of the Russian Federation, Mitsubishi ASX is not produced in our company.

Since 2010, the crossover began to be produced in Japan. or rather, at the Nagoya Plant in Okazaki. Until recently, the Mitsubishi model was produced there for two main reasons:

• Full production cycle at the plant. That is, the model is both cast and assembled in one place.
• The ability to test the crossover on a specialized track available in Okazaki.

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

The fact is that US factories are equipped no worse than Japanese ones, and the assembly process on them is completely similar. Based on this, it should be stated that Mitsubishi ASX is from Okazaki, that there are completely identical models from the USA both in quality and in concept. Speaking specifically about the versions of the crossover for delivery to the Russian Federation, then they are produced in Illinois at the exact same plant that is in Japan.

Summarizing the information presented above, it is worth answering the question asked in the article - "Where is Mitsubishi ASH assembled for Russia?" At the moment, the assembly of the crossover is carried out only in the USA, however, versions of the model from Japan can also be found on the used transport market. So that's it.

Note! Despite the recently launched production of a crossover in the United States, today models from this country prevail over Japanese ones. Wanting to buy a version of a car from Japan, you will have to seriously strain to find it.

A few words about the build quality in the USA and Japan

Earlier it was noted that the build quality of Japanese and American "ASHs" is the same. In general terms, it is, of course, so, but if you delve into the essence of the issue, you can find some differences. Even if the latter are not essential.

Firstly, it is worth noting the quality of the paintwork. In crossovers from the United States, it is noticeably worse than that of the indigenous "Japanese". Of course, the difference is not so significant, but many car owners note frequent scratching and sprinkling of Mitsubishi ASX bodies from the USA.

Secondly, it will be useful to note the difference in the quality of the metal used for casting the body. Again, in Illinois it is slightly worse, but it always is. As the pros in the autosphere say, it all depends on the batch of the model. In any case, there are problems with the metal of the body, and they should be kept in mind.

In the rest of the moments that Mitsubishi ASX from Japan, that from the USA - pretty solid models one auto concern. Naturally, there is no specific bias towards Russia in their production, but the cars produced at both plants can be used well on the roads of our country.

On this, perhaps, the most important information on today's topic has come to an end. We hope the above material was useful for you and provided answers to your questions. Good luck on the road!

Video review of Mitsubishi ASH:

Globalization processes are inevitably reflected in our cars. Someone can say with confidence at which plant and where Mitsubishi cars are assembled? Most likely, even an official dealer in some Perm, Amsterdam or Moscow cannot reliably call the country of production. No, they, of course, will answer that this is a Japanese car, but this is hardly true. At least, this definitely applies to the Mitsubishi ASX, with the origin of which we will closely understand right now. Moreover, there is a reason - in the summer the model range of the company was updated and under this update AC was included.

Where is Mitsubishi ASX assembled

Mitsubishi is quite a seasoned player in the market, and not only in the automotive one. You can expect everything from them: here you have air conditioners, agricultural machinery, ballpoint pens, aviation equipment and a lot of different things. Logically, there are only two car factories in Japan itself. The first is in Okazaki, Aichi Prefecture, and the second is in Kurashiki City, Okayama Prefecture. Most of the cars for Western Europe and the USA are produced here. There is also a huge enterprise in the States in Normal, Illinois. They produce cars mainly for the USA and Latin America themselves.

But almost all Mitsubishi that you can buy on our market are not made in the United States, and even less so in Japan. They are collected near Kaluga. An assembly line was opened there, which is owned in equal shares by Peugeot, Citroen and Mitsubishi. The line was opened only in 2012, so with a high probability we can say that all cars with three diamonds on their chest and which cost no more than a million and a half million, are assembled there.

The assembly of Mitsubishi cars began with the Outlander, and since the Mitsubishi ASX is the carrier of the gene pool of this particular crossover, it is mainly assembled here. It is assembled, of course, not from scratch, but on a good and run-in GS platform. For several years now, such bestsellers as Pajero, Lancer and Outlander have been sitting tightly on it. The new model in this company had a hard time and the car was initially deprived of the attention of the press and the public. Firstly, against the background of Outlander, from which the A.S. X is constructively repelled, the baby looked pale. And secondly, by the time of the birth of the model of small golf-class crossovers, there were so many divorced that they were no longer subject to accounting. Such a gloomy prehistory of the Mitsubishi ASX entering the market.

Trumps up the sleeve Mitsubishi ASX

But the car has something to cover its competitors. Despite the fact that it appeared only in 2010, the original purpose of the small crossover was not to defile along an asphalt avenue, but to more rational use of all-wheel drive. Mitsubishi ASX is an active sport x-over, and in the States the model is generally released under the name Outlander Sport. Hence the target audience and usage patterns. And, by the way, the design features of the new body.

Swift and dynamic, quite modern crossover underlines the general line of the chief designer of the company Akinori Nakanishi. He is confident that all new Mitsubishi should be sharp, like a samurai sword, while being simple. He did it. At least you can't refuse the sharpness and attractive simplicity of the Mitsubishi ASX in the new body. The post-styling version of the 2016-2017 model year received a new shape of the radiator grille, new bumpers, dark plastic that emphasizes the lower body line and new spoilers - all this works for the sporty character of the car.

And it really cannot be confused with anything, which, you see, is a great rarity today. At the same time, the laconic design was able to be kept in the same vein with other models of the company. But that's not all. The optics configuration has changed. Now the headlights of the new Mitsubishi ASX have LED running lights, and the collection of 17-inch rims has been replenished with new drawings. A new color has also appeared. "Sporty Blue Metallic", as it was called in the brief. It looks great, like in this photo.

4 wheel drive planetarium

The Mitsubishi ASX salon has also changed a lot. It is immediately noticeable that Outlander's older brother is not a greedy person. He shared the steering wheel, front panel elements, his own audio system, a navigator that can read SD cards, only the center console is lacquered. Although, Japanese interior designers know better. In top trim levels - the sky over your head. Yes, it's a panoramic sunroof with one unobtrusive architectural luxury. In the dark, the outline of the glass roof is illuminated with a neat and unobtrusive yellow light. Frankly speaking, it is not entirely clear who this beauty is intended to amaze, since from the front row it is not visible at all, and from behind it is not visible during the day. But at night - beauty. Like a planetarium.
The seat in the cabin is all right. Enough for both long-legged and lanky. It is not for nothing that the wheelbase of the Mitsubishi ASX is the same as that of the Outlander. And the width of the three passengers in the back will sit down without much effort. But it is more comfortable, of course, to travel with four. Even with luggage, there will be no particular problems, since the trunk holds 416 liters in the normal state, and with the rear seat backs folded down - more than a thousand. The tailgate is wide and comfortable and the loading height is low.

In the photo - a stylish and roomy interior Mitsubishi ASX 2016-2017

The front seats offer excellent visibility, but landing in the new Mitsubishi ASX takes some getting used to. Landing is somewhat different from the same Outlander, although the design of the seats is essentially the same. The outside mirrors look oversized and should make noise at high speed, but they can be forgiven for their excellent visibility. It is quite simple to get comfortable in the driver's seat, since the position of the steering column is adjustable both in reach and in the angle of inclination, it will suit the driver of any size. Judging by the feedback from the owners of the new ASX, the dashboard has only one drawback. More precisely, an ergonomic puncture. The button, which is responsible for displaying operational information on the monitor display, is installed on the left under the steering wheel and it is not very convenient to make your way to it while driving. However, it seems to us that this is a matter of habit.

Active sport cross-equipment Mitsubishi ASX

The engine lineup of the new ASX is not new, although there are some changes in engine design. There are three engines available for the buyer's choice - 1.6, 1.8 and 2.0 liters. All of them are gasoline, but the European buyer can afford to choose a turbodiesel, well known from previous Mitsubishi models. The most powerful 150-horsepower two-liter gasoline engine can be equipped with both a manual transmission and a CVT. This engine can be found not only on the Mitsubishi ASX, but also on some Kia and Hyundai models - Cerrato, Optima, Spritage, Elantra and Sonata. Is it good? Well, if only for the reason that there will be no problems with spare parts, repair and replacement of consumables. In any service center you can find any piece of hardware for this motor.

In the previous generation Mitsubishi ASX with mileage, drivers complained of detonation at high revs, but, according to the project's technical director, the problem was removed by flashing the engine control unit. And one more plus of this motor. True, hidden. The fact is that in Europe such an engine comes with 175 horses. For Russia, he was deliberately strangled so as not to distract the employees of the transport tax inspection from their work. Therefore, it is enough to do chip tuning, change the firmware and 25 horses will be added to the motor. Not a bad trick as an unexpected bonus for the buyer. This motor has no other flaws in the test drive. The main thing is to change filters, oil and carry out a control inspection in accordance with the regulations. Then the motor will serve for a long time.

The platform on which the Mitsubishi ASX is based is nowhere more global. It was developed back in the days of Mitsubishi's friendship with General Motors and can be found all over the world in the most unexpected places. Sometimes a little altered, sometimes the same as it is on our SUV. The scheme is simple and reliable. This is a front MacPherson strut and a multi-link that is installed in the back. On the same platform, several Dodge cars, Jeep Compass and Patriot, Chrysler Sebring and 200 were built. The French also got it. One to one such a suspension is installed on Citroen C-crosser, C4 Aircross, Peugeot 4007, 4008. In a word, the platform is quite reliable and there are a lot of spare parts for it, including spare parts for all-wheel drive versions.

Mitsubishi ASX, price and configuration

The configuration and prices of the Mitsubishi ASX of the 2016-2017 model year have practically not changed compared to last season. The most inexpensive of them remained in price and they ask for 890 thousand rubles for such a car. For this money, you can buy a front-wheel drive car with a manual transmission. The base will be equipped with an anti-lock system, a 1.6-liter engine with 117 forces and 154 Nm of torque. According to the official dealer's price tag, the sale of the remains of the last model year is held at a discount of 40 thousand rubles.

The most expensive Mitsubishi ASX in the Exclusive package is a bundle of happiness for lovers of everything at once and inexpensively. The price of such a car is 1,600,000 rubles and it is worth the money. We have already talked about the top-end 150-horsepower engine, and it will be paired with a continuously variable transmission CVT, that is, a variator. It will be a four-wheel drive car with a combined fuel consumption of 7.7 liters per hundred. Already in the base, this equipment is sold with cast 17-inch wheels and a full-fledged spare wheel instead of a stowaway, as on cheaper versions. Also, without fail, the buyer will receive xenon headlights with automatic beam and intensity correction, front and rear fog lights. Also, the base will have a keyless entry system, a rear-view camera, water and light sensors and that very picturesque panoramic roof, which we have already talked about.

And it's not so important where Mitsubishi ASX is assembled. It is important that this car is good, joyful and modern.

In Russia, the cars of the Japanese concern Mitsubishi have always been held in high esteem and enjoyed great popularity. The reason for this is the good value for money for vehicles of this brand. Today, the Mitsubishi ASX crossover model is increasingly found on Russian roads. This car is the standard of the Japanese, because they spared no effort, no money, or their own imagination to create this model. Surely you are wondering where Mitsubishi ASX is assembled for Russia? The fact is that in our market there is a crossover of American and Japanese assemblies.

In the USA, it is assembled at a plant in Illinois, and in Japan, the car comes off the assembly line of the Nagoya plant, which is located in the city of Okazaki. It is difficult to determine which production machines we have more. But, among the owners, there is an opinion that the American ACX in terms of build quality is no worse than a "purebred" crossover, and in some moments, even surpasses the original. Some owners of the Japanese Mitsubishi ASX complain about poor quality suspension, during long-term operation it starts to creak. There is no such problem on American copies of the car. It is worth mentioning that until 2012 in the domestic market, the Japanese crossover was supplied to us only from Japan. Because in America, ASX began to be produced only after restyling in 2012.

American and Japanese enterprises

To date, the crossover is produced only by two countries - Japan and the United States. The very first ACX world saw at the Geneva Motor Show back in 2010. The car appeared on the Japanese market even earlier, there it is known under the name - RVR. In the Land of the Rising Sun, this car model began to be produced in 2010 at the Nagoya Plant. Therefore, if you are asked where the Mitsubishi ASX is produced, you can answer. The plant is equipped with the latest technology. For the production of cars, expensive high-tech equipment is used, and the finished cars are tested on a special track, which is located on the territory of the enterprise. At that time, the crossover was exported from this plant to all markets in the world.

Of course, this fact significantly influenced the cost of this vehicle. Three years later, the Japanese opened a factory in America. Here, to this day, the American enterprise produces the Mitsubishi ASX crossover. But, the American version of the car is cheaper than a purebred "Japanese", despite the high customs duties. The plant in the USA is equipped no worse than the Japanese one; a full-fledged cycle of machine production is established here. And after assembly, finished cars are sent to a special track for running-in and checking for faults.

Build quality

To begin with, American crossovers and Japanese crossovers have their fans and detractors. As the saying goes: there is no dispute about tastes, but most of the owners of this car claim that the "American" is a little worse in terms of the build quality of a thoroughbred ACH. Basically, people complain about the poor paintwork of Mitsubishi ASX from the USA. From the reviews it becomes clear that at the first opportunity, the paint on the body will peel off. This means that the fact where Mitsubishi ASX is produced plays an important role. Some owners of the American "Japanese" also complain about the bad metal, they say that it can be bent with a finger.

It turns out that the American company overlooked and used really not quite high-quality material. To be honest, the car is poorly adapted for operation in Russia. There is nothing surprising here, because the American plant does not provide for the development of this model for each country separately. Because of this, while driving on our roads, the driver will hear all sounds and extraneous noises, since the sound insulation in Mitsubishi ASX is at a low level.

The technical side

The Japanese-assembled Mitsubishi ASX crossover still pleases its owners with unsurpassed quality and excellent technical characteristics. The dimensions of the compact car are as follows:

• length - 4640 mm
• height - 1625 mm
• width - 1770 mm
• wheelbase - 2670 mm
• ground clearance - 195 mm.

The design of this model is practically no different from the pre-styling versions. The designers only slightly tweaked the grille, rear and front bumpers. For the interior design, the Japanese used high quality materials, pleasant to the touch. On the Russian market, you can purchase this car model with three options for gasoline power units.

It could be an ACX with a 1.6-liter engine producing 117 horsepower. Up to the first hundred cars with this installation accelerates in 11.4 seconds. and the maximum speed is 183 km / h. Before buying a car, ask where you assembled Mitsubishi ASX if you want to become the owner of a purebred "Japanese". The second version of the engine is a 1.8-liter with 140 hp of power. And the most powerful is the 2.0-liter powerplant, delivering 150 horsepower. To accelerate the crossover to a hundred, the driver will need 11.9 seconds of time. The maximum speed of the "Japanese" is 188 kilometers per hour.

Mitsubishi Lancer is a Japanese car company, which is the sixteenth best-selling car 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. In the state of Illinois, there is a plant called Mitsubishi Motors North America, Inc. It has been renamed three times in its history. But, since 1991, the Japanese have completely bought 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 Citroën 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 drive over 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 of the 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 noise insulation. A new information and entertainment flat display was installed in the salon, as well as an interesting upholstery of the seats.

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. The fuel consumption is also pleasantly pleasing. It dropped by 0.2 liters in all driving modes.

In the interior, it is worth noting the decorative trims on 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 has been 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 case when 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 plant and purebred Japanese quality - this is what makes Mitsubishi Lancer popular and in demand not only in ours, but also in world car dealerships.

The Japanese car Mitsubishi Outlander is in great demand in the Russian market. This truly charming and original SUV has gone through several restyles throughout its existence. The roomy "Japanese" was created both for driving on the roads of the city and outside its aisles. The Japanese concern has been producing this car model since 2001. Such a car can be safely called a vehicle for every person who leads and loves an active life. The main question for many consumers remains: where is Mitsubishi Outlander assembled for Russian buyers? After the second generation of the SUV came out, starting in 2005, it is assembled in Russia at a plant in Kaluga. Production was established at the official Mitsubishi plant. Until 2012, in Russian car dealerships, the Outlander model occupied only ten percent of the total number of cars. To date, these figures have grown to thirty percent. At the Kaluga plant, engineers are engaged in the manufacture of some body parts and components for the interior. Other parts are produced by the Japanese. A year ago, the Mitsubishi Outlander car went through a restyling. Now, the automobile enterprise "PSAM Rus" is also assembling a model taking into account innovations in restyling.

The very first Outlander cars were assembled only in Japan. Today, the factories for the production of this car are located in the province:

• Okayama
• Kurashiki
• Okazaki.

After some time, the production of the "Japanese" was established in the Philippines (Risal and Quinta). Then, an SUV was supplied to the Russian automotive market from the Land of the Rising Sun. Of course, this greatly affected the cost of the car, given the long transfer. It is known that the quality of the vehicle depends on where the Mitsubishi Outlander is produced. There were practically no complaints about the Japanese-made SUV. The only point is steering problems after operation on Russian roads.

Until 2014, complaints were received from the owners of the Russian-made Mitsubishi Outlander car. Basically, people were unhappy with low-quality sound insulation and poor suspension. But, after the updates introduced last year, such inconveniences were quickly forgotten. The interior, trimmed with cheap plastic, remained the same in this SUV. Cheapness has never pleased buyers, and, unfortunately, this vehicle was no exception. After several months of operation, cheap plastic parts make themselves felt.

Hard plastic starts to creak and irritate drivers and passengers. Manufacturers, some elements of the interior are covered with silver, but after a little time, they begin to climb. Also, we can't help but remember the Russian car services Outlander. Car owners have to wait for several weeks for the delivery of parts to their car, moreover, maintenance costs a lot. Therefore, before buying yourself a "Japanese", take an interest in the salon where Mitsubishi Outlander is produced.
