Launched in 2010 as a 2011 model, the Mitsubishi RVR was an instant hit thanks to its friendly face and practical size. At the same time, some people complained about its lack of refinement, but compared to a Jeep Compass or Suzuki SX4 , the RVR still had a lot …

The Subaru Crosstrek , Toyota Corolla Cross and Hyundai Kona are the stars of the subcompact SUV segment. These best-selling models can be purchased with confidence thanks to their versatility, reliability and available all-wheel drive system. Always in their shadow is the Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross , an oft-neglected competitor that …

The Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV is all-new for 2023 and proves to be a smart choice for crossover shoppers looking to save money at the pump—provided they make the most of that increased EV range. The Car Guide ’s Antoine Joubert and Germain Goyer have both shared their first impressions already.
