A 2024 RVR SE owner wrote: "I have a 2024 RVR SE AWC with the 2.4L MIVEC....solid, reliable engine that Mitsubishi has used for many years....naturally aspirated with a timing chain."
If you can, drive an ES and an SE back to back on the same route to feel the difference between the two engines.

Budget for winter tires, and ask the dealer to show you the 4WD LOCK setting for deep snow.
The RVR is a subcompact SUV with up to 1,402 L (49.5 cu ft) of cargo space and a split-folding rear seat, according to Mitsubishi Canada. One viewer wrote: "I like the RVR a lot since it is a true 'sub-compact' SUV while everything else got bigger."

The 2026 NOIR adds 18-inch black-painted alloy wheels, a panoramic fixed glass sunroof with sunshade, a large rear spoiler and red interior stitching, while the SEL has 18-inch alloys.
