2010 Mitsubishi RVR Compact Crossover official photos

Boasting the same 'jet fighter' inspired front-end design; the new model will be known as the Mitsubishi RVR and is scheduled to make its European debut at the 2010 Geneva Motor Show.

Derived from the Concept-cX City Compact Crossover, the RVR utilises Mitsubishi's global mid-size platform which also underpins the Lancer and Outlander.

The RVR Compact Crossover will be offered at launch with an all-new 1.8-litre MIVEC petrol engine, with the rest of the engine line-up along with at least one diesel offering expected to be confirmed closer to the launch date.

Mitsubishi Australia has confirmed the RVR will find its way into local showrooms by mid-to-late 2010.
