How to collect in Russia Updated SUV MITSUBISHI PAJERO SPORT
Almost three months passed from the premiere of Mitsubishi Pajero Sport, and all this time in Kaluga was debugged a conveyor to build an updated model: although it is restyling, but the number of new options and, accordingly, new operations during the assembly is impressive. However, by May 31, 2021, all the necessary activities were held, and from the Kaluga conveyor, the first PAJERO Sport was reached.
As before, the frame SUV is going on one conveyor with the already popular Outlander crossover: after the build shop, welding and painting of the body – frame, like many body elements, are made in Russia, by the way, the cozov are sent to the assembly thread.
Before starting the equipment process, the doors are removed from the body – they will be put in place only at the very end. After wiring, the elements of the interior decoration, optics and glass. Triplex sets the robot, and it looks quite impressive: grip, applying glue, installation strictly in a millimeter in a millimeter.
The frame with a suspension and power plant hung on it separately: "Pajero Sport" is a car of an old school, so you can see the mighty carrying structure in all our glory, as well as a huge transmission – the legendary Super SELECT. There are changes in the engine installation sector: unlike the predecessor, the diesel and gasoline PAJERO Sport are now collected in Kaluga.
Well, after there is the most famous and advertised section of the conveyor, on which the frame is connected, or rather the chassis, and the body. This operation at all plants of the world is called "Wedding".
At the last section of the Mitsubishi Pajero Sport assembly stretch in new wheels – now, by the way, on all modifications they will be 18 '- they will put the cabin and return to the place of the door. Final – control zone: Here specialists will examine the color, build quality and other important elements. After there will be only a test landfill in which the machine will drive a few kilometers. The most that ultimately will be on the odometer when it first roll out of the salon to meet the happy owner.

First Test Drive New Mitsubishi Pajero Sport: Feedback
The year 2021 began for PSMA RUS – a joint venture of the Concern Stellantis and Mitsubishi – hard: COVID-19 led to a 30% reduction in product output in 2020, and now production processes have to restore until the previous, dust, level. Given the fact that the plant employs 1,800 people – the process is not very fast.
However, the demand gives rise to the desire to work: the Russian market lives in the format of the acute deficit of new cars, so the one who will first have time to recover will be the first to return to normal indicators. The head of the Russian office of Mitsubishi Osama Ivaba firmly convinced that this will happen in the current year. And this is the updated SUV.
The reason for such a bold statement from the Japanese. If the first reading of the third generation of Mitsubishi Pajero Sport caused a stormy discussion in Russia – a new aggressive design was evaluated not all and not immediately – the restyling machine was immediately on the crest of success, not yet appeared on the roads.
Comments from users in social networks and the mass of prepassed machines – a bright confirmation of this. "We did not even expect that the SUV will make such an effect, but the number of already decorated contracts suggests that with the design and equipment fell into the goal" – commented on the company "Avtovzalov" the situation director of marketing and PR MMS Rus Ilya Nikonorov commented on the portal.
