How Fuel Efficient Is the 2026 Mitsubishi RVR?

2026 Mitsubishi RVR driving down a neighborhood

The 2026 Mitsubishi RVR is one of the most affordable compact SUVs in Canada, starting at just $24,998, and its fuel economy numbers are equally easy to live with. The front-wheel-drive ES returns 8.9 L/100 kilometres combined, while even the AWC trims come in at a competitive 9.1–9.4 L/100 kilometres. That makes the RVR a practical daily driver for commuters who want to keep fuel costs in check without stepping into hybrid territory. Here's the full breakdown from the team at Metrotown Mitsubishi in Burnaby, BC.

2026 Mitsubishi RVR Fuel Economy by Trim

The RVR is available with two engine options, depending on trim: a 2.0L four-cylinder on the ES trims and a 2.4L four-cylinder. All trims use a continuously variable transmission (CVT) and run on regular unleaded fuel.

Trim Drive City Highway Combined Tank Est. Range
ES FWD FWD 9.7 L/100km 7.8 L/100km 8.9 L/100km 63L ~708 km
ES AWC AWD 10.0 L/100km 8.1 L/100km 9.1 L/100km 60L ~659 km
SE AWC AWD 10.3 L/100km 8.3 L/100km 9.4 L/100km 60L ~638 km
SEL AWC AWD 10.3 L/100km 8.3 L/100km 9.4 L/100km 60L ~638 km
GT AWC AWD 10.3 L/100km 8.3 L/100km 9.4 L/100km 60L ~638 km

2026 Mitsubishi RVR Real-World Range

To put those numbers in perspective for Burnaby drivers, here's what the RVR's range covers in everyday use:

  • Burnaby to Downtown Vancouver and back (~25 km) — covered with ease, over and over
  • Burnaby to Surrey and back (~55 km) — no range concerns whatsoever
  • Burnaby to Whistler and back (~260 km) — every trim handles the round trip comfortably on a single tank
  • Burnaby to Kelowna one way (~390 km) — every RVR configuration makes it there on a single tank with range to spare

For most Burnaby commuters who average 40–60 km of daily driving, a full tank in the ES FWD lasts well over two weeks without stopping at a gas station, which, given the current fuel prices, makes a real difference to the monthly budget.
