About the Mitsubishi Space Runner N10
The Mitsubishi Space Runner, known as the RVR in Japan, was a precursor to the modern compact crossover, blending hatchback dimensions with MPV practicality. Its most distinctive feature is the asymmetrical door configuration, consisting of two front doors and a single kerbside sliding door for rear passengers. The 1.8-litre 4G93 engine provides adequate performance for its class, while the interior offers significant flexibility with sliding and folding rear seats. Though never a performance icon, it gained a cult following for its reliability and unusual packaging.
