To reduce weight, the engine block is cast in lightweight aluminum MIVEC variable valve raised valve technology is used to improve engine performance and efficiency.

2.0-liter engine paired with ES models have a 5-speed manual gearbox or steering wheel controls on steering wheel 6-speed CVT Sportronic available. SE trim fuel economy standards optimized for CVT. Mitsubishi engineers have spent countless hours developing CVT shifts and to optimize the gear ratios as well as to reduce the friction of the hydraulic oil control better fuel economy. To improve the driving experience, the levers are mounted magnesium paddles behind the steering wheel, which allows the driver to switch between automatic or manual shifting without moving your hands. CVT Sport mode manual transmission can be selected by dragging a paddle when the gearbox lever is in position "D" or by selecting the sport mode, the gear lever. When Sport mode is activated, the driver can move up or down using the levers. Pulling the lever on the right paddle for at least two seconds to remove the Sport mode.

INNOVATIONS OF FUEL

All models are equipped with a revolutionary new lightweight plastic front wings and a dent. Made with recycled materials, plastic body panels contribute to a lower gear in order of weight and greater fuel efficiency. Reducing friction and drag to the road also helps increase fuel consumption and a new crossover should be specifically equipped with low rolling resistance tires. Electric power steering (EPS) was added to remove the parasite drag engine can be found in conventional hydraulic steering systems of power, to release the engine performance and increases fuel consumption.

To reduce fuel consumption and exhaust emissions, it is very efficient engine mated to an "intelligent" alternator and regenerative braking. Recharge the batteries incorporated into the use of friction energy during braking, the system detects the conditions of battery charging and operation of the single generator to adjust the tension depending on the vehicle load. Combined with the recycled parts of the body, first-class aerodynamics, EPS, low weight and efficient engine braking helps to push the new Mitsubishi CUV in the range 31mpg on the highway.

Fun to drive

Its lightweight, compact mobility and available electronically controlled AWC, a compact crossover is also a fun to drive handling balance that resonates with the active participation Mitsubishi CUV buyers.
