Mitsubishi RVR Compact Crossover in Real Life
Mitsubishi has teased and taunted us with computer generated photos of the RVR Compact Crossover. Now, a real life production model has been unveiled. We initially released pictures of the RVR Crossover Concept last month – and have patiently awaiting the official unveiling of Mitsu’s next generation of crossover vehicle. Now the 1.8 liter MIVEC engined RVR is out and looking classy in …what is that, sea-foam?
Mitsubishi’s concept contained the clean-diesel burning engine and a 4WD option. No word yet if a production model will have similar options, but we do know RVR is slated to be released below the Outlander. Nice to see those R&D renderings were factual. Stay tuned for more on the RVR Crossover, and read details in Mitsu’s press release below.
