Mitsubishi RVR comes loaded with tech

Mitsubishi is cramming more advanced tech into its popular RVR sport utility while keeping prices competitive at a starting price of $22,998 in Canada.

A refreshed exterior, eight-inch display, safety features that include blind-spot monitoring, and the brand’s All Wheel Control (AWC) system are now available at prices lower than they’ve been before, and on the Mitsubishi’s bestselling model, too.

The base price is attached to the five-passenger ES FWD trim, which includes Android Auto and Apple CarPlay and a large rearview camera, heated front seats, heated power side-view mirrors, and a suite of safety features.

AWC on the small SUV can be had on an ES AWC trim that starts at $25,498, while the range’s biggest seller, the SEL AWC, with a 168-horsepower 2.4-litre engine instead of the base 2.0 litre, starts at $29,798.

The range is topped by a GT AWC that adds a panoramic roof, leather seats and a 710-watt Rockford Fosgate sound system. It starts at $33,998.

The 2020 RVR gets new styling with the brand’s Dynamic Shield grille, plus three new exterior colours.

Mitsubishi has sold almost 59,000 RVRs in Canada since it was launched in 2010.
