Mitsubishi ASX (facelift)
The third generation RVR is a compact crossover vehicle, first released in the
Japanese domestic market on
February 17,
2010.[5] The name RVR is only used in
Japan and
Canada. In Europe,
Latin America and the Caribbean,
Australia,
China,
Malaysia,
Taiwan,
Russia, and the
Philippines, it is sold as the Mitsubishi ASX[6] (an abbreviation of "
Active Sports Crossover"), and as the
Mitsubishi Outlander Sport in the
United States and
Indonesia. In
Puerto Rico, it uses both the
ASX and
Outlander Sport titles.[7] It is based on the design of the
Mitsubishi Concept-cX prototype first exhibited at the 62nd
Frankfurt Motor Show in July
2007.[1][8][9] It is a return to the original concept of offering the platform used for the longer
Mitsubishi Outlander with reduced seating capacity to five people, while sharing components of the longer vehicle, demonstrating a corporate decision to return
Mitsubishi to smaller, fuel efficient vehicles in favor of larger, truck-based products. It was also exhibited at the 40th
Tokyo Motor Show in September the same year.[10]
In Japan, buyers must pay an additional tax due to the exterior dimensions exceeding
Japanese government reguations for cars classified as "compact".
The
Asian RVRs are powered by the 4B10 1.8 litre gasoline engine mated to an
INVECS-III continuously variable transmission.[11]
North American,
Singaporean, Chinese,
Indonesian,
Malaysian,
Philippine and
Australian vehicles will get the larger 4B11
2.0 L, while the
European ASX use a new 4A92 1.6 litre gasoline engine. In Europe and Australia the 4N13 1.8 L direct-injection turbodiesel engine will also be available as options.[12] The whole range of petrol engines – 1.6L (
117 hp), 1.8L (
140 hp) and 2.0L (
150 hp) will be offered in the
Russian and
Ukrainian market.
Mitsubishi has concentrated on emphasizing the RVR's fuel economy and low emissions, as part of the company's plan to reposition itself as a maker of smaller and more efficient cars, in contrast to its previous successes building large
SUVs.[13] The vehicle is both eligible for an eco-car tax reduction in Japan,[11] and Euro-5 compliant in
Europe.[13] In Australia the ASX received a
5 out of 5 star safety rating from
ANCAP.[14]
The European ASX was exhibited at the
Geneva Motor Show in
March 2010,[12][13] while the North American Outlander Sport/RVR was revealed at the 2010
New York International Auto Show.[15] From the summer of
2012, production of the Outlander Sport will begin in Mitsubishi's
Illinois plant, for both the North American and a number of export markets.[16]
Next generation[edit]
In
October 2014 Mitsubishi announced that the next generation ASX will have a plug-in hybrid version. The conventionally powered next generation ASX is scheduled for market launch in 2016 and the plug-in version will go on sale in Europe and other markets in 2017
The
Mitsubishi RVR is a range of cars produced by
Japanese manufacturer Mitsubishi from
1991 to
2002 and from 2010 to present. The first two generations were classified as compact multi-purpose vehicles (
MPV), whereas the model introduced in 2010 is a compact crossover.
The RVR was Mitsubishi's
Recreational Vehicle debut during the Japanese economic boom.
The cars were sold at the Mitsubishi Japan dealership chain called Car
Plaza. RVR is an acronym for "
Recreation Vehicle Runner". In addition, the original logo had a
Cyrillic Я on the first letter.
It was a tall wagon, off-road model that sought awareness towards "sports gear" or outdoor lifestyles to other companies, similar to an approach used for the introduction of the
Honda CR-V, allowing drivers to setting their own routes, and it had an especially good sales record in the beginning, even with the decline of the RV sales boom.
Unfortunately due to declining sales, it was discontinued in
August 2002.
