Used Mitsubishi for sale – Buy via auction or at a fixed price

One of the oldest major companies from Japan is the Mitsubishi group with a history that stretches back to 1870 and the logistics industry. Mitsubishi also operated coal mines long ago and was a player in the steel industry to supply the maritime nation with steel for its shipbuilding. The logo today adorns air conditioners, refrigerators and various electronic components in a number of different applications. Here in Sweden, we primarily recognize the brand with the diamond-like logo from the automotive industry and production began as early as 1917 on a smaller scale. The venture turned out to be wrong for the time and the brand quickly found itself outcompeted by European and American car models. Mainly because Mitsubishi did not adopt the technology for mass production; volumes were at very low levels and therefore they suffered from high manufacturing costs. This was long before the Japanese manufacturing method "Lean" which has been widely applied in the Western world since the 1980s and is primarily associated with competitor Toyota .

After World War II, the company chose to resume car manufacturing with a completely different strategy. However, the real breakthrough for the brand would not come until the 1960s with the small family car Mitsubishi 500, which was manufactured primarily for the domestic market as Japan's economy improved and the middle class grew. However, extremely limited volumes found their way out of the country, and this meant that Mitsubishi began to seek cooperation across national borders and found it with the American manufacturer [Chrysler](https://www.kvd.se/chrysler) in the 1970s, and from there, exports took off with the Galant car model (which received other model names and was adorned with, among other things, the Dodge emblem on the American market). In 1980, Mitsubishi reached the magical threshold of one million cars sold, and this was where the brand's modern history began. With models such as the small car Colt and the SUV model Pajero, the company also seriously reached the European market and the cars gained a good reputation for being both economical to operate and reliable, and perhaps especially the Pajero model.

During the early 2000s, the brand's finances were strained, largely due to the Asian financial crisis caused by a credit bubble that burst in the late 1990s. This prompted Mitsubishi to cut many planned investments, but in 2006 a successful model was launched that helped the operating profit back on its feet - the Mitsubishi i key car, a very fuel-efficient small car calibrated for Asian, dense city traffic but approved for motorways. It can be most closely compared to the Mercedes-Benz brand Smart and was sold in large volumes in the domestic and Asian markets but is unknown in Europe. Mitsubishi followed up on this success and launched a pure electric car for the 2009 model year, the i-MiEv, which was among the first pure electric cars in the small car class. Under favorable conditions, it had a range of 160 kilometers on a single charge. It was enriched not only with low operating costs but with a low price of approximately 20,000 dollars in Japan, however, it became significantly more expensive in the Swedish market and has been sold in quite small volumes in Europe. Mitsubishi today offers both SUVs, more expensive premium sedans, small cars and mid-range cars as well as crossovers but has its large market in Asia, where most models also remain.
