The Mitsubishi RVR is a variety of cars manufactured by Japanese manufacturer Mitsubishi from 1991 to 2002 and from 2010 to present. The first two generations are classified as a compact multi-use vehicle (MPV), while the model introduced in 2010 is a compact crossover SUV.
RVR is the Mitsubishi Recreational Vehicle debut during the Japanese economic boom. The cars were sold at Japan's Mitsubishi dealership network called Car Plaza. RVR is an acronym for "Vehicle Recreational Runners". In addition, the original logo has Cyrillic? in the first letter. It has a comfortable sized passenger cabin and a spacious 4-5 person capacity with a youth oriented approach, thus making it more appealing to young people. Television commercials in Japan use Bugs Bunny and Daffy Duck as spokespersons. It was also developed and released during Japan's "economic bubble", and has gained popularity due to the ease of use of sliding doors on the passenger side.
It was a high wagon, an off-road model looking for awareness of "sports equipment" or outdoor lifestyle for other companies, similar to the approach used for the introduction of the Honda CR-V, allowing drivers to set their own routes, and it has excellent sales records at the start, even with the booming decline in RV sales. Unfortunately as sales declined, it was discontinued in August 2002.
The re-introduction of the "Sports Gear" RVP nameplate is an attempt to inherit the popularity of first generation vehicles. It was released in Japan on February 17, 2010. It does not feature a rear sliding door, due to the current perception that the SUV has a conventional door, and a sliding door is usually mounted on a family vehicle. RVR logo no longer using Cyrillic upside down "?" in the first letter.
Trim levels are usually used is the class name "Sports Gear", a feature that Mitsubishi introduced, such as Airtrek and Grandis.

Generasi pertama (1991-1997)
The first RVR, introduced in February 1991, is a compact MPV, manufactured between 1991 and 2002. It is known as the Mitsubishi Space Runner in Europe and Mitsubishi Expo LRV in America Countries, while the export market in Asia and Oceania using the Japanese market name. RVR is also sold by Chrysler as the Dodge/Plymouth Colt Wagon and Eagle Summit Wagon captive import in North America. The appearance of the "high wagon" reflects a popular appearance favored by many international manufacturers, who can trace their beginnings to the 1978 Lancia Megagamma concept car.
Hyper Sports Gear R trim package in Japan using first Mitsubishi Galant VR-4 drivetrain; 4G63T 2.0 L 16V 4-straight DOHC turbo mated to either a four-speed automatic or a five-speed manual not offered in North America. Open and front differences are used in vehicles equipped with 4WD. The power output is rated at 170-184 kW (231-250 PS; 228-247 hp). In Japan, the RVR sees competition from Nissan Rasheen, Toyota RAV4, Honda CR-V, Subaru Forester, and Suzuki Escudo.
RVR is basically the second generation of Mitsubishi Chariot (known in some markets as Space Wagon) with shortened chassis and longer vehicle component sharing. It is a high wagon SUV with two rows of seats, equipped with sliding doors on the passenger side, similar to Toyota Raum and Nissan Prairie. There is no door for the rear passenger on the driver's side; only one sliding door is installed on the passenger side for all trim levels, and for all vehicles sold internationally. This is a different configuration than the larger Chariot because the longer vehicles have conventional doors on both sides of the vehicle. Also, the Mitsubishi sliding door is attached to the "B" pillar, while the Toyota and Nissan vehicles do not. The back window did not pull into the door or body, but rather they appeared on the back end of the window. The rear window at the longer Chariot did not enter the door.
Fuel tank access door is installed on the right side for all internationally sold versions. In the LHD model, which has a sliding door on the right side, an interlock prevents the door opening too far when the fuel filler door is open.
The fixed position is mounted standard seat rear seats can accommodate three people and the backrest has a split 50:50: seat backrest can be folded forward, flat on the seat, and then the seat cushion can be removed on the back and folded. go forward and advance toward the front seat, leaving the flat floor for large cargo goods. When the entire bench is removed, the flat floor extends from the back of the front seat to the rear hatchback door. The optional rear seats bench seat can accommodate three people, with the arrangement allowing the rear seat passenger additional leg room by sliding the entire back seat assembly back. Depending on the seating arrangement, the rear seats can then produce considerable interior space by completely shifting the seat forward, then extending the seat back completely flat.
Originally fitted with a 2.0L/1.8L naturally aspirated gasoline engine, later introduced with a turbo diesel engine model thereafter. A mid-model sport model with a resolved type 4G63 turbo engine was also brought on the Lancer Evolution "X3" and "Super Sport Gear" and offers an optional sliding metal sunroof. In North America, the 2.4 liter (2.351cc) 101 kW engine is available on the FWD version, and the standard on the AWD version is at least as early as MY 1993. The last and most powerful model, "Hyper Sports Gear", was added in January 1997.
Due to sharing platforms with longer Chariot, and the benefits of development time, many of the mechanical components of Galant's past contributions with improved new mechanisms, RVR is fundamentally reliable and robust. However, the individual has an Automatic Transmission capability of approximately 60,000 km, welcomes life with a power cord about three years, will interfere with the sensor and around the servo throttle mechanism (such as not stopping when symptoms appear), etc.
The Automatic Transmission shift lock is a mechanism rather than an electrical control, a unique method that mechanically deregulates wire lengthwise from the brake pedal. This is also an advantage because it is not affected by the battery.
