Slightly more than a month ago Mitsubishi released a sketch of a new compact crossover, underpinned by the automaker’s mid-size global platform (Project Global). Mitsubishi has now released two images of the new crossover in its production form and has also revealed the the name: Mitsubishi RVR. It is expected to go on sale in Japan starting from February next year and then in Europe after its debut on the continent at the 2010 Geneva Motor Show.
