2. Exterior Magnificence
Mitsubishi RVR’s styling for this 2016 model year is probably why it’s seen a recent upsurge on the sales chart. LED taillights come as standard across the RVR line. Actually that’s made less appealing because its predecessor was so good looking.
Buffed by Rally Red paint, Mitsubíhi RVR stands out of the crowd thanks to a bunch of chrome, glossy black trim and satin aluminum, plus large machine-finished 18-inch alloys with black painted pockets. While its rear end looks mostly the same, the frontal design certainly isn’t near as minimalist as the outgoing model.
3. Interior Comforts
Inside you will see a well laid out centre stack provides most everything you’ll need, with a soft-touch instrument panel and equally pliable front door uppers. A leather-wrapped sport cross-stitched steering wheel features some inky piano black lacquered highlights. The steering wheel switchgear is very well executed with excellent damping and extremely tight fitment. While made from good quality composite, the circular rocker switch actuates the audio system via the especially impressive infotainment screen.
The digital interfaces include a high-resolution colour multi-information display with very attractive graphics set between two bright, backlit chrome-rimmed parts.
The 6.1-inch infotainment touchscreen offers excellent functionality while the large 6.1-inch colour touchscreen infotainment display on the centre stack claims to be the best of the class with bright colours, good depth of contrast, and a simple, nice, easy to understand graphical layout.
