The History of Mitsubishi ASX – CMH Mitsubishi Westrand

By

The History of Mitsubishi Mitsubishi are not afraid to release versatile vehicles.The History of Mitsubishi goes from high performance Lancer models, which are adored by street racing fans, to family SUV’s like the Outlander. Enter the ASX. This is a small compact SUV which was launched at the Geneva International Motor Show in Switzerland back in 2010. It was designed to follow in the footsteps of its big brother the bulkier Mitsubishi Outlander. The Mitsubishi ASX is built on a platform of vehicles named the RVR. These vehicles were introduced in the Japan market during a surge of economic growth. 2 generations of RVR vehicles preceded the ASX. The ASX was designed as an eco-friendly vehicle. It utilizes the same auto stop and go technology that you find in most vehicles today. The purpose of this technology is to cut on carbon emissions released by vehicles while they are idling. The ASX has since gotten a number of facelifts since its launch. It’s first facelift which was revealed in Europe in 2013 introduced a number of features to the vehicle. The features this vehicle came with were a panoramic glass roof, auto rain, auto light sensors and GPS navigation with Bluetooth/iPod connectivity. The History of Mitsubishi The ASX is currently retailing from R419 995 and you can test drive one at CMH Mitsubishi Westrand. Contact us to find out more about his stellar vehicle.

Mitsubishi’s Heritage

By

Mitsubishi’s Rich Heritage Of Manufacturing, CMH Mitsubishi Menlyn will be taking you back in time and sharing some memories

The history of Mitsubishi’s Rich Heritage Of Manufacturing started with The three diamond of the Mitsubishi logo and were originally inspired by Iwasaki’s family crest – the word ‘Mitsubishi’ has long been used to donate a diamond shape in Japanese. Since its inception, the logo has continued to embody the principles of the world-renowned vehicle manufacturer.

Mitsubishi’s Rich Heritage Of Manufacturing

1950’s

Car manufacture under the Mitsubishi name goes back to 1917 with the Mitsubishi Model A, the first series-production passenger car to be made in Japan (22 were produced).

Mitsubishi’s Rich Heritage Of Manufacturing

1960’s

The launch of the Mitsubishi 500 in 1960 marked the company’s entry into the small passenger car market. Envisioning the future of the automobile industry, the company started its journey in the 1960s with the Colt series, including the Colt 1000 and the Colt 800.

1970’s

During the 1980s, the company became a driving force behind the boom in recreational vehicles with the sedan-flavor Pajero full-feature 4WD. With a view to the growing market, the company introduced a number of advanced 4WD-based models, including the three-row Chariot, a pioneer of the minivan segment, and the Galant full-time 4WD sedan.

Mitsubishi’s Rich Heritage Of Manufacturing

1990’s

During the 1990s, the company launched several distinctive models meeting ever-diversifying customer needs. The company also built up a glowing track record in the Dakar Rally, WRC and other events in the world of motorsport.

Mitsubishi’s Rich Heritage Of Manufacturing

2000’s

The noughties saw the company adding to its SUV lineup with the launch of its first crossover SUV the Airtrek (Outlander). With a view to the future, the company also took up the challenge of electrification and in 2009 introduced the iMiEV, the world’s first mass-produced next-generation electric vehicle and the crystallization of many years of EV development at the company. The company was also honing its 4WD technology with the launch of the Lancer Evolution X which used the advanced S-AWC integrated vehicle behaviour control system.

Service Plan, Maintenance Plan And A Warranty

By

The Three Main Package Plans

We know that most dealerships offer The Three Main Package Plans. What are the differences between them? The Three Main Package Plans

So, you’ve bought that car you had your eye on and you know the specs and features off by heart. You are happy with your monthly instalments and your insurance is sorted. But are you aware of the manufacturer warranty, or whether the vehicle has a service or maintenance plan?

Most cars are sold with a maintenance or service plan as standard or as an optional extra. But don’t be fooled into thinking that a standard service or maintenance plan is free. The price of these plans is usually included in the purchase price of your new car. You will, however, benefit from no additional costs involved when having your vehicle properly serviced and maintained so you can budget exactly how much your new car is going to cost every month.

So, it’s time to get clued up on what a maintenance plan, service plan and warranty is?

Maintenance Plan

A maintenance plan is basically a service plan on steroids. It comes with more benefits than a service plan and will include wear-and-tear items on your vehicle such as the gearbox, clutch, suspension and brake pads and discs, wiper blades, shock absorbers, globes and fuses, wheel bearings, replacement gas for the air-conditioning system etc. The maintenance contract simply covers any item on your car that has a wear cycle and will need to be replaced at some point during the car’s lifespan – the items not covered by a service plan.

The Three Main Package Plans

Service Plan

The name says it all! The plan covers all the costs of having your car serviced as per the stipulations of the manufacturer. This will generally include the labour and replacement cost of air, pollen, fuel and oil filters, cam belts, brake fluid, oil and gearbox oil, spark plugs and coolant. These services will have to be carried out by an authorised service centre or dealer network to guarantee that the terms of the service plan contract are met.

Warranty

New vehicles carry some sort of warranty but depending on the brand they can differ. However, warranties are all restricted in terms of time and mileage. Your car’s warranty is mainly a promise by the manufacturer that the faults in manufacturing or factory defects will be repaired, or replaced, within a specific period of time. Items that are covered by the warranty include: engine, gearbox, electric components, fuel systems, audio systems and sensors. It is important to note that a warranty does not cover all items. These items not covered are tyres and brake pads, and any damage resulting from user abuse will also not be covered. Damages caused by a driver’s abuse or incorrect use could void a warranty, as well as aftermarket alterations made to the vehicle. Make sure you familiarise yourself with exactly what is covered under the warranty and for how long.

Service and maintenance plans are not all created equally, so it’s important for you to read and understand the plan you are signing up for. Familiarise yourself with what is covered and what isn’t. And remember, if you’re not sure, ask, this could help save you a lot of frustration and expenses later on.

VEHICLE WARRANTY

By

Different Warranty Options There are a few different types of warranties one can consider when purchasing a vehicle. It’s always best to seek advice from the dealerships F&I before selecting a warranty suitable for your vehicle, this can save you time and money in the long run. CMH Mitsubishi Menlyn has compiled a list of a few different warranty options:
  • The Basic Warranty: Otherwise known as the manufacturer’s warranty. These usually come with new cars and cover most of the components in a car that might break down during the early years through normal wear-and-tear. They do not cover tyre or battery replacemnt and you can forget about it if you misuse the car.
  • Dealership Warranty: This is a warranty not from the manufacturer but sold by the dealership. There may be specifics on dealership warranties, such as where you have to go to get your vehicle serviced or maintained, and generally if a component in your car does breakdown.
  • The Extended Warranty: These warranties extend the coverage on a vehicle for an additional period of time after the manufacturer’s warranty has expired. Not all vehicle models are eligible for extended warranties; it depends entirely on the company. It is best to buy an extended warranty earlier on before your first warranty has expired, because the longer you wait and the older your vehicle becomes the more expensive the extended warranty will be.
  • Basic Warranty: This covers a reasonable list of items within your vehicle, such as suspension, electronics, steering and exhaust. It however excludes tyres and batteries.
  • Powertrain Warranty: By powertrain the mean the mechanical components of the car that makes the vehicle move. It generally includes transmission, drive shafts, axle and clutch; but if something like the engine breaks down the warranty company will not pay for a new engine.
  • Rust and Corrosion Coverage: As the term implies, this covers you in the event your vehicle gets a bad case of rust. More specifically it is unlikely the warranty company will replace anything unless the rust eats a hole through the metal. This sort of thing can also be covered through insurance.
  • Emissions Warranty: This is a completely separate warranty that covers any emissions problems you may experience up to a certain number of years/millage. This may be covered under the Basic Warranty, but not always.
