Where are Mitsubishi cars produced?
2 Answers
Mitsubishi cars are manufactured in Japan. Mitsubishi Motors Corporation is a member of the Mitsubishi Group in Japan. Here is some information about Mitsubishi: 1. GAC Mitsubishi Motors Co., Ltd. is a Sino-foreign joint venture jointly operated by Guangzhou Automobile Group Co., Ltd., Mitsubishi Motors Corporation, and Mitsubishi Corporation, with a cooperation period of 30 years. 2. GAC Mitsubishi has fully inherited the high-quality resources of the entire industrial chain from the former GAC Changfeng production plant (Xingsha Plant), including sales channels and procurement systems. It has also comprehensively upgraded and transformed the original production lines and introduced an advanced production quality system. As a result, GAC Mitsubishi entered a mature operational stage immediately upon its establishment.
I think Mitsubishi cars are mainly produced in Japan, with their headquarters in Tokyo. They started building cars back in the 1880s, and factories in Nagoya and Osaka are long-established bases that have been producing many classic models like the Pajero. After the 1980s, they expanded globally, setting up a major factory in Thailand, where many vehicles sold in Southeast Asia are manufactured, benefiting from lower costs and meeting local demand. They also have joint ventures in China, though the proportion is relatively small, mainly targeting the local market. In the U.S., they used to have production sites, but those were shut down, and now they rely mostly on imports. This kind of global layout is quite typical—automakers have to adapt to supply chain changes, and you can see similar strategies with Toyota and Honda. Overall, their roots are in Japan, but production is spread out. Quality control remains strict under Japanese standards. I’ve driven an old Mitsubishi before and found it quite durable.
