2024: a record year for Mitsubishi in Canada
The story of Mitsubishi's Canadian division is an incredible one. Established in the early 2000s, it has gone through difficult times, but has always bounced back stronger than ever. Today, it is a...
The 2020 Mitsubishi RVR has received several improvements this year that allows the Japanese automaker’s small sport utility vehicle to compete with confidence. Let's take a closer look at this by comparing the 2020 Mitsubishi RVR to one of its main rivals, the 2020 Mazda CX-3.
To start, let’s mention that the Mazda CX-3 is a great little sport-utility. It is one of the most fun to drive in its segment which is very important for many consumers. That said, the 2020 Mitsubishi RVR is also considered to be one of the most fun and sporty in the subcompact segment. If you want to spice up your daily commute, both the 2020 Mazda CX-3 and the 2020 Mitsubishi RVR will do the trick, but the RVR has a little something more.
The 2020 Mitsubishi RVR Has More Space and More Efficient Engines Than the CX-3
More power, more space, and a better all-wheel-drive system are what sets the 2020 Mitsubishi RVR apart from the 2020 Mazda CX-3. The CX-3 engine comes standard with 148 horsepower and 146 lb-ft of torque. The RVR offers 148 horsepower and 145 lb-ft of torque as standard. The power is therefore practically identical. That said, the 2020 Mitsubishi RVR also offers a new 2.4-litre four-cylinder engine with 168 horsepower and 167 lb-ft of torque that is significantly more powerful than the CX-3's engine.
Let's take a look at the space now. There, the RVR has a clear advantage. It offers over 600 litres of cargo space with all seats in place while the CX-3 offers only 407 litres. For a young, active family, the difference in space will be significant and could become frustrating. The RVR is considerably more spacious than the CX-3.
In closing, let’s mention the Mitsubishi RVR's S-AWC all-wheel-drive system. Much more advanced than that of the CX-3, it comes from the world of rally racing and allows the differential to be locked for optimal traction in all circumstances. A snowstorm or an icy slope cannot stop you in the RVR. Come learn more today!
