Mitsubishi RVR 2013

The 2013 edition of Mitsubishi RVR compact SUV has made its entry in Canadian dealerships of the Japanese brand.

RVR has quickly become the best selling model of Mitsubishi in Canada.

Although the newcomer has a body quite similar to the previous model, we note that the front and rear sections were redesigned, and they blend more smoothly with the entire vehicle.

Two exterior colors are added to the other: Pearl White and Silver swift.

Inside, the RVR 2013 hosts trimmings and high quality fabrics, including the GT version.

The SUV is available in two and four wheel drive.

Faithful to the four-cylinder engine
Under the hood we find a four-cylinder 2.0-liter that produces 148 horsepower.

A motor coupled to a transmission range:

Manual 5V standard on 2WD
CVT optional on SE 2WD
CVT standard on SE and GT 4WD.
The latter two also have full control with selectable 2WD/4WD modes and Auto/4WD Lock.

Note that the continuously variable transmission (CVT) INVECS III received a new calibration to provide better acceleration, and the multi-link rear suspension ensures a revised handling and improved comfort.

According to the manufacturer, the compact SUV consumes just 6.1 L/100 km.

Prices advertised:

Mitsubishi Outlander ES 2WD: $ 19,998
Mitsubishi RVR SE 2WD: $ 22,298
Mitsubishi RVR SE 4WD: $ 25,698
Mitsubishi RVR GT 4WD: $ 28,998

Mitsubishi Pajero - Test Car Diary

Previously had to be learned but a few properties as "SUV" - the Pajero-test car leaving me at the end of this week - unfortunately.


For some photos of the Pajero has a steep slope at the same time trying and was able to show what effect the differences in the attitudes of the four-wheel drive. Where to stay stuck in classic mode with 4-wheel-spinning wheels, the Pajero in 4LC locked rear axle and loose digs up the slope.

The photos and the report of driving off-roader I come later - for now there is only one photo with a special character and symbol-dedication:

New Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution XI 2013

The Evo-loving world was in shambles after Mitsubishi Global Product Director, Gayu Eusegi, announced that the company would be killing off the all-wheel-drive turbocharged Lancer Evolution. The Evo is one of the best models Mitsubishi has ever offered and fans everywhere were shocked that the company would take such extreme measures. A few back pedals later and Mitsubishi President and CEO, Osamu Masuko, calmed the waters by stating that the the Evo X would not be the last of the Evolutions. Now, Masuko has offered even more details for the future of the Evo to Japanese magazine, Best Car, stating that "Mitsubishi is fully intent on producing a high-performance car in the future, albeit green." Yeah, join the club, Masuko.

The rumor has long been that the Evo XI would be a diesel-electric hybrid. Such a powertrain would allow the Evo XI to hustle to 0-60 MPH in under 5 seconds while still receiving better fuel economy than the current Evo. Now, it seems the technology that was unveiled in the PX-MiEV concept at the 2009 Tokyo Motor Show is looking to fit itself into the EVO XI. This would mean a 1.6- liter gasoline engine combined with an electric motor that will take its power from a set of lithium-ion batteries. The electric motors will power the vehicle at low to middle speeds, while the engine will kick on at high speeds. The engine will also provide back up for the motors when their charge runs low. The hybrid system will be combined with Mitsubishi’s S-AWC all-wheel-drive system and active yaw control, technologies that have already been used in the Evo X.
