Mitsubishi RVR Crossover

This is the Japanese version of the upcoming new small crossover from Mitsubishi. It will make its official debut in a month in Geneva.

> What's really cool about this new crossover is that it is available with either FWD or AWD...and paddle shifters! I think that this new model Hints that Mitsubishi is likely to offer the same AWD/Paddles for their upcoming 5G Eclipse...

This RVR will probably share the same smaller chassis platform since the 5G will be smaller than the 4G.



"Mitsubishi has officially rolled out the Japanese market version of its new RVR crossover, which will also be dubbed ASX for the European market when it goes on sale later this year. The automaker has said that it has plans to bring the new small CUV to the United States, but no official nomenclature has been confirmed for the vehicle that will land on our shores. The European version will officially debut to the public at next month's Geneva Motor Show.

In Japan, the RVR is offered with a new 1.8-liter gasoline four, producing 139 horsepower and mated to a continuously variable transmission with column-mounted paddle shifters. Both front- and all-wheel drive versions will be available, and earlier reports have stated that European customers will have the choice of a few diesel powerplants, including a 1.8-liter unit mated to a six-speed manual transmission..." - AB
