Mitsubishi
Mitsubishi Logo

The fifth largest automaker in Japan, Mitsubishi Motors Corporation was founded in April 1970, and is headquartered in Tokyo, Japan. Strategic alliances saw the company perform strongly in the 1970s and the '80s during which period it increased its production capacity to over 1.5 million units.

In a JV with Hindustan Motors, the company's Indian endeavor began with the Lancer which sold well and also posed quite a challenge to the Honda City. This led the company to introduce models like the globally successful SUV, the Pajero and later the Cedia and Montero. Mitsubishi in India has been unable to mirror the success of the Lancer and finds itself in a tough situation today.

As the connection between cars, society and the environment becomes clearer, Mitsubishi stands ready to clear a path to a new era in sustainable partnership. Mitsubishi cars are embodies with two major concepts: "driving pleasure" and "safety". They deliver superior driving performance and superior levels of safety and durability, and as such, those who use them will enjoy peace of mind.
