Mitsubishi Motors has partially improved the compact SUV "RVR".

The "RVR" is a compact SUV equipped with an electronically controlled 4WD that realizes optimum steering stability and running performance according to the road surface conditions in a compact body that is easy to handle and drive. It is an entry-level model of the SUV, which is sold in about 90 countries and is the third highest-selling SUV in the world at Mitsubishi Motors. The RVR's high hip point and bonnet hood tilted forward provide good visibility for easy driving, making it easy to see vehicles and pedestrians even at intersections, so you can drive with peace of mind. In addition, because it has a high hip point, it is an SUV that makes it easy to get on and off.

The main improvement of this RVR is safety equipment.In particular, the "G" and "BLACK Edition" come standard with the rear side vehicle detection and warning system (with lane change assist) [BSW / LCA] and the reverse vehicle detection and warning system [RCTA], which were previously manufacturer options. It was equipped.With the rear side vehicle detection and alert system (with lane change assist) [BSW/LCA], the radio wave radar at the rear of the vehicle detects vehicles approaching from diagonally behind or behind the adjacent lane, which are likely to be in the blind spot, and notifies the driver of the presence of the vehicle by lighting the door mirror indicators. When the driver turns on the blinker in the direction of the vehicle, a warning buzzer sounds and the door mirror indicator flashes to alert the driver.The reverse vehicle detection warning system uses a radio wave radar installed inside the rear bumper to detect vehicles approaching diagonally behind or behind, which are likely to be blind spots for the driver. When a vehicle approaching is detected when retreating from a parking lot or the like and leaving the parking lot, the door mirror indicator flashes, a buzzer sounds, and an information screen display alerts you.

In addition, there are no changes to standard equipment such as the collision damage mitigation braking system [FCM] (for vehicles / pedestrians), the false start suppression function (when moving forward), and the lane departure warning system [LDW].

For the exterior of RVR, we have newly adopted white diamond, which is a high-brightness coating unique to Mitsubishi Motors, which has both the white brilliance of pearls and the shadow like metal.In addition, the look using Mitsubishi's front design concept "Dynamic Shield" is the same as before.

In the interior of the RVR, a water-repellent function has been added to the suede-like material on the seat and back of the combination seat installed in the "BLACK Edition", making the seat less likely to get dirty. In addition, in other grades of RVR, the geometric pattern (G grade) with movement on the seat fabric and the black roof lining are the same as before.In addition, a new USB port (Type-A / C) for charging has been added to the rear seat side of the floor console box, making it easier for rear seat occupants to charge electronic devices such as smartphones.

The RVR engine has a 1.8L SOHC 16-valve 4-cylinder MIVEC (with AS & G), and the transmission has an INVECS-III 6-speed sports mode CVT M position. In the 6-speed sports mode CVT, you can enjoy manual shift work by paddle shift, and especially in the M position, the 6-speed sports mode is not canceled even when the vehicle is stopped, so you can enjoy sporty driving that makes full use of 6-speed.In addition, RVR's 4WD has three types: "4WD Auto" that appropriately distributes the driving force to the front and rear according to the road surface conditions and driving conditions, "4WD Lock" that provides powerful traction, and "2WD" that has good fuel economy. It has a mode.
