Why Choose a 2024 Mitsubishi RVR Over a Honda HR-V?

April 15 2024,

The 2024 Mitsubishi RVR offers a compelling set of advantages over its competitors, including the Honda HR-V. Here are some of the reasons why you should consider the RVR over the HR-V for your next SUV.

Distinctive Design

The 2024 Mitsubishi RVR boasts a bold and distinctive design that sets it apart on the road. With sleek lines, aggressive front fascia, and dynamic styling cues, the RVR exudes a sense of confidence and solidity. Thanks to significant updates over time, the RVR still looks modern and fresh, despite having been first introduced for the 2011 model year. This means that the RVR benefits from the brand’s latest design language while also keeping most of the elements that have made it popular for so long. In comparison, the Honda HR-V is less distinctive and it more easily blends in with other models.

Spacious Interior

Inside the 2024 Mitsubishi RVR, you'll find a spacious and comfortable cabin that provides ample room for both passengers and cargo. With generous headroom and legroom in both the front and rear seats, along with versatile cargo configurations, the RVR offers exceptional practicality for daily use and long journeys alike. While the Honda HR-V is also very practical, it places second in some key dimensions, such as front headroom, rear shoulder room and rear hip room.

Proven Durability

The 2024 Mitsubishi RVR benefits from an enviable track record in terms of reliability and durability since its main mechanical elements have mostly stayed the same since its launch, which means that the engine, the transmission, and the all-wheel drive system have proved their robustness over many, many miles of real-world driving. Of course, Honda also generally makes reliable vehicles, but the current HR-V has not been on the market long enough to see if problems might arise.

A competent all-wheel drive system

Like all other Mitsubishi SUVs, the 2024 RVR can be equipped with the brand’s renowned all-wheel drive system which has been conceived with the lessons learned in rally racing. This means that the RVR is one of the most competent vehicles in its category when the road conditions deteriorate, allowing you to reach places no other competitor can attain. While the Honda HR-V can also be equipped with all-wheel derive, its system is not as capable as the one used in the RVR.

Value for Money

In addition to all of these advantages, the 2024 Mitsubishi RVR presents itself as a much better option than the Honda HR-V for buyers who want more value for their money. Indeed, every version of the RVR is priced significantly more affordably than its equivalent on the HR-V, despite offering similar levels of features and equipment. This means that you can get into a new RVR for around $6,000 less than the most basic HR-V. Another way to see this is that you can buy a well-equipped RVR SEL AWD for about the same price as the entry-level HR-V front wheel drive. If you want even more equipment, the RVR still comes out on top since its fully-equipped GT trim level is over $4,000 cheaper than the top-of-the-line HR-V EX-L Navi.

In addition, the 2024 Mitsubishi RVR, like all other Mitsubishi models, benefits from the best warranty in the industry, offering protection on powertrain elements for 10 years or 160,000 kilometres. This means that your investment is better protected with Mitsubishi than with Honda, who only covers the HR-V’s powertrain for 5 years or 100,000 kilometres.

Overall, the 2024 Mitsubishi RVR stands out as a compelling choice in the compact SUV segment, offering a winning combination of style, space, reliability, and value that sets it apart from the competition, including the 2024 Honda HR-V.
