Compact SUV “RVR”, which is the entry model of Mitsubishi’s SUV lineup. Compact SUVs have become very popular in recent years, and each manufacturer has released unique models.

Here, we will introduce the equipment contents for each grade of RVR in detail.

RVR grade configuration

There are three types of RVR grades: the basic grade “M” , the advanced grade “G” , and the “BLACK Edition” , which uses black for the interior and exterior to enhance design .

The powertrain used in the RVR is only the 1.8L in-line 4-cylinder SOHC engine + CVT, so there is no difference in powertrain depending on the grade. In addition, the drive system is set to 2WD and 4WD for all vehicles .

“M” is the cheapest basic grade of RVR, but the mechanism is the same as the advanced grade “G”. Therefore, even if it is a basic grade,the driving unique to RVR, such as three drive modes including “4WD lock” for 4WD vehicles, and a 6-speed sports mode CVT with M position set so that you can always enjoycan.

Uses LEDs for lights

All grades of the RVR, including the “M,” use LED lights such as LED headlights, LED daylights, LED fog lights, and LED rear combination lamps . LED lights instantly reach the maximum amount of light when turned on, so in addition to improving nighttime visibility, they also have the advantage of improving actual fuel efficiency because they use less power than halogen or xenon. It is also a nice point that it adds advancedness to the look and creates a sophisticated atmosphere.

Minimum comfort equipment

The difference between the “M” and the upper grade is mainly comfort equipment. The keyless operation system that allows you to unlock and lock the doors without key operation, which has become mainstream in recent years, and the engine switch that allows you to start the engine with a switch operation are not used.

Also, the air conditioner is a manual air conditioner.

It is a nice specification for those who are not so particular about comfort equipment and emphasize practicality and driving performance, and those who want to ride an RVR as cheaply as possible.

Mitsubishi’s driving support package “e-Assist” is standard equipment , but it is different from the advanced grade, and several functions are omitted.
