2017 Mitsubishi RVR

Japanese carmaker Mitsubishi is planning to make things even more interesting in SUV market. Not only that they are planning the release of 2017 Mitsubishi RVR, but also it could happen in US, the most demanding market.

Sport utility vehicle RVR is not so famous, so Mitsubishi must make exceptional offer if they want to make breakthrough in North American territories. It is going to be quite interesting to see how RVR will take transformation from multi-purpose vehicle to crossover, where it belongs from 2010.

The most important part of vehicle that wants to have success in US market is powerplant. With 2.2-l turbo-diesel unit installed in 2017 Mitsubishi RVR, company can keep the pace with competition. This engine is ready to produce 180 horses and about 200 lb-ft of torque. What makes difference in Mitsubishi favor is already prepared hybrid. 

Models which will use this type of drivetrain, are getting power from 1.1-l gasoline unit paired with electric motor. Big news could come with 2017 RVR, since this crossover could use 1.6-l petrol engine, supported with two electric motors. However, engineers don’t pay attention to power source, but also driving quality, and we have heard that handling and acceleration are more than decent for this mid-size crossovers.
