Don’t give a damn: the new Mitsubishi Xpander crossover is already at the official dealers
Parallel imports, which are growing by the day, have reached a new level in the issuance of new cars: from private sellers, towing cars one or two at a time, to large-scale, essentially centralized deliveries. As a result, new models appear regularly, which has not been the case for years. Another example is the Mitsubishi Xpander that appeared at dealers. Details are on the AvtoVzglyad portal.

While the offices of imported car brands are busy with conservation and savings, dealers finally renounced contracts and started working according to their own rules. All stories about values, presentation and strict adherence to the brand book flew into the oven. What kind of “bows” are there, you have to survive.

A year ago, sellers stoically tried to please the distributor, strictly adhere to the established rules and invest in the dealer’s equipment and appearance: not only their annual bonus depended on the behavior of dealers, but also on the number of assigned cars, that, I remember, wasn’t enough for everyone. Then February happened, the earth hit the celestial axis, the long-term mechanism of partnership and centralized supply and production fell apart. The stronger the echo in the warehouses, the less dealers began to pay attention to the contracts that had been signed. To survive you have to sell, and if there is nothing to sell? You will not have enough of “beushkas” alone!

It’s no secret that in previous crises, many “civil servants” were turned off for service: direct access to warehouses with official spare parts and the ability to sell a “guarantee” became the key to a poor, but stable existence with prospects . Today there are no spare parts in warehouses, manufacturers massively refuse warranty obligations, and the dealers themselves are left with nothing. The queue for the “Chinese window” will not reach everyone!

However, the mechanism for “maintenance of pants” was found quite quickly: to hell with centralized supplies, let’s go to the Emirates! There are special sites there, a kind of Duty Free, where you can legally buy cars that have not yet cleared customs for the UAE, and from where cars can be delivered easily anywhere in the world. Here he is, the Klondike!

After buying and “selling” the popular TLC Prado, Mitsubishi Pajero and Pajero Sport in abundance, they established routes and schedules and drew attention to the population’s need for cheaper models: the classic Outlander, I remind you, is not produced anywhere except in Russia until recently, and the new one is insanely expensive. So the choice was absolutely logical on the Mitsubishi Xpander and Xpander Cross.

Xpander officially introduced in 2017. It is a compact crossover, a high clearance seven-passenger MPV, a crossover van launched for the Indonesian and Malaysian markets, as well as sold in other ACEAN, Latin American and African markets . The car is equipped with a 1.5 liter engine of 105 hp, front-wheel drive, automatic transmission. Aggressive appearance and a rather dull, but functional interior, the main innovation of which is the silence in the cabin, for which even the engine was redesigned. In short, the fourth most popular Mitsu model in the world.

Xpander Cross appeared in 2019 and may differ in a slightly more aggressive body kit. Officially, they had no intention of importing it to Russia for fear of competition with the Outlander and the Russians who would not accept the car’s appearance. However, practice shows that appearance is nothing and value everything.

Crossvan immediately appeared at many Russian dealers of the brand at a price from 2,162,349 in Krasnodar to 2,600,000 in Moscow. A casual conversation with the sellers showed that they are generally interested in the car, contracts are concluded, in which costs and availability play a direct role. In addition, for the purchase you can use such tools that are familiar to Russians, such as credit, leasing and trade-in.

Yes, and the habit of buying from a dealer, which still has residual dynamics, is also taking place. And what about the warranty? As such, it’s not from the manufacturer, but domestic insurance companies have already made a fuss and offered a policy that replaces the warranty. It is cheap, about 30,000 rubles per year.
