2024 Mitsubishi RVR vs. 2024 Honda CR-V: A Compact SUV Showdown

Compact SUVs like the 2024 Mitsubishi RVR and Honda CR-V are popular choices for drivers who value versatility, style, and technology. While both vehicles bring a lot to the table, the Mitsubishi RVR stands out with its combination of affordability, capability, and unique features. Let’s dive into how these two models compare to help you decide which SUV suits your needs.

Performance Tailored for Canadian Roads

Under the hood, the Mitsubishi RVR offers two engines: a 2.0-litre four-cylinder engine delivering 148 horsepower and a more robust 2.4-litre engine with 168 horsepower. Combined with Mitsubishi's All-Wheel Control (AWC) system, the RVR confidently handles varying weather conditions—an essential feature for driving in Ontario's diverse climate.

The Honda CR-V features a 1.5-litre turbocharged engine with 190 horsepower. While it offers slightly more power, the RVR's lightweight design and compact dimensions give it an edge in agility and manoeuvrability, especially in city driving or tight spaces.

Design That Makes an Impression

The Mitsubishi RVR takes a bold approach with its sporty exterior design. Featuring a dynamic grille, sleek LED headlamps, and available two-tone roof options, the RVR commands attention wherever it goes. Compact yet stylish, it is ideal for both urban commutes and weekend getaways.

On the other hand, the Honda CR-V offers a more traditional SUV aesthetic, focusing on clean lines and a polished look. While appealing, it doesn’t quite match the RVR’s adventurous flair for drivers looking for something distinctive.

Comfortable and Practical Interiors

Inside the 2024 RVR, the focus is on comfort and functionality. The cabin comfortably seats five passengers and offers flexible cargo space with up to 1,402 litres when the rear seats are folded. Features like heated front seats and an available panoramic sunroof elevate the driving experience, making it ideal for both work and play.

The CR-V’s interior is slightly larger, emphasizing passenger comfort and ample 2,166 litres. However, the RVR’s thoughtfully designed layout ensures everything you need is within reach, while its compact size makes it easier to park and navigate busy city streets.

Technology and Safety: Keeping You Connected and Secure

The Mitsubishi RVR excels in offering intuitive technology at an accessible price point. Its 8.0-inch touchscreen infotainment system comes standard in integration with smartphones and Apple CarPlay®, ensuring seamless connectivity. The Mitsubishi Connect app lets you remotely start your vehicle, check its status, and even locate it in a crowded parking lot. Also, it offers all the safety features that provide peace of mind for every journey.

The CR-V features a 7.0-inch multimedia screen that seamlessly integrates with your smartphone, along with a digital instrument cluster display that provides the driver with essential information right at their fingertips. Its advanced available safety features ensure peace of mind on long adventures.

Meanwhile, the RVR stands out with top safety certifications from both IIHS and NHTSA, offering exceptional protection for your loved ones. In contrast, the 2023 CR-V is certified by IIHS.
