This powerful Mitsubishi ASXRVR is the perfect car for anyone who wants to dominate the road.
The new Mitsubishi ASXRVR was first shown in 2007 as a concept vehicle known as the CX. It is now emerging as a development from the Outlander, which is also the foundation for the sophisticated Lancer Evolution X. The RVR is 345 millimeters shorter than the Outlander, and it weighs 200 kilograms less; nonetheless, it has an eerily similar appearance due to the fact that it shares the most recent 'brand face' for Mitsubishi. But the newcomer is more than meets the eye in terms of their overall appeal.
“We are sure that the RVR is the right vehicle for the right time,” says project manager Hiroshi Fujii, who was also the chief engineer of the past two Lancer Evolutions. This vehicle is the ideal combination of the high-level chassis stability of the Evo and the practicality and comfort of the Outlander, but in a size that is more appropriate for a small vehicle.
Inside, Mitsubishi ASXRVR has upgraded the trim levels with high-quality plastics and introduced a motorized leather seat option, a Rockford Fosgate audio system, and a big panoramic glass roof. Additionally, a Rockford Fosgate audio system is now standard. However, it is still unknown at this time whether or not it will satisfy the international roll-over crash requirements.
The steering wheel has a tilt-and-telescope adjustment, and while the seats are supportive and comfy, there is insufficient headroom for passengers above 5 feet tall (180 centimeters). It gets no less than seven cupholders, five for front-seat occupants.
The newly installed 'super-wide' HID headlight coverage on the RVR is a source of particular satisfaction for the vehicle's engineering staff since it more than doubles the amount of road that is illuminated by the lights on both sides. Each model comes standard with hill-start aid, stability control, anti-skid brakes, and a brake energy regenerating system. This directs the energy that is produced during slowing and braking to be stored in the battery so that it may be used by the idle-stop system.
The new Mitsubishi ASXRVR crossover utilizes the Outlander's electronically-controlled, three-mode, four-wheel drive system. This technology is inherited from the Outlander. It provides drivers with the option to drive in either the front, all, or locked mode. Internal safety testing lead to a five-star NCAP result, and the vehicle comes standard with seven airbags, one of which is designed to protect the driver's knees.
The gasoline engines that power Australian automobiles will have a displacement of 2.0 liters and four cylinders, and they will either have a five-speed manual or a CVT transmission. But no electricity or emissions numbers are available yet. In spite of this, the statistics for CO2 emissions should be in the region of 139 to 145 grams per kilometer if they are based on European engine values. Power and torque data are expected to be disclosed closer to the middle of the year.
According to the observations of a Mitsubishi ASXRVR engineer, the model with the Australian-specification 2.0-liter engine and five-speed manual transmission will be the one to opt for since it will provide a higher level of driving satisfaction. The new RVR utilizes the same base as the existing Outlander as well as the five-speed gearbox from the Lancer; however, these components have been updated to accommodate the new diesel engine and the vehicle's edgy, combative road presence.
The five-seater RVR is not a bullet, as it takes approximately nine seconds to reach 100 kilometers per hour from a standstill. However, it does its job efficiently thanks to a CVT with paddle-shift fitted 6-speed sports mode that is relatively high geared and reads 2100 revolutions in sixth while traveling at 100 kilometers per hour.
