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.

Derived from the much-acclaimed 2007 Concept-cX show car, it is the latest development of MMC’s mid-size global platform (“Project Global”).

This most important product will further support Mitsubishi Motors’ strategic shift from being an SUV-focused nameplate to a manufacturer of environment-friendly passenger cars & crossovers*, with a presence in the “authentic off-roader” segment** – itself preempting structural changes in market demand.

As such – and after i-MiEV – this on-road Compact Crossover will be the Corporation’s next game changer towards lower impact vehicles, in their format and/or in the innovative MMC proprietary technologies they will feature. The European premiere is scheduled for the 2010 Geneva Motor Show.
