2026 RVR in Saint-Jérôme: Your Adventure Companion to Explore the Laurentians
Living in Saint-Jérôme comes with a geographic privilege you appreciate even more when the sun returns: the gateway to the Laurentians is right next door. An hour up Highway 15 and you are at the foot of Mont-Tremblant. Thirty minutes and you are rolling down gravel roads around Val-David.
The 2026 Mitsubishi RVR is well suited to that lifestyle: compact enough for the city, capable enough for secondary roads and cottage-access routes, and efficient enough to make long escapes worthwhile. Here is why this subcompact SUV deserves a serious look if you live in Saint-Jérôme, Mirabel or the Laurentians.
Built to head off the beaten path
The 2026 RVR keeps its all-purpose utility DNA: a city-friendly footprint, elevated seating position, reassuring visibility and a practical cabin. On the P'tit Train du Nord you ride your bike; on Highway 117 toward Sainte-Agathe or Route 329 toward Lac-des-Seize-Îles, the RVR takes over.
Under the hood, the 2.4L MIVEC engine with 168 horsepower, offered from SE AWC and above, adds more confidence for hills and passing. Drivers who mostly stay around town will also appreciate the 2.0L MIVEC engine with 148 horsepower, tuned for everyday efficiency.
Available AWC: confidence on gravel and twisty roads
Mitsubishi's available AWC all-wheel control helps distribute traction when conditions change. In summer driving around the Laurentians, that matters on gravel cottage roads, twisty routes such as 329, 364 and 117, and wet pavement after a summer storm.
Available traction support helps keep the drive more predictable on loose or uneven surfaces.
The RVR's stable behaviour helps drivers feel more confident through corners and changing road surfaces.
Room for all the outdoor gear
A summer weekend in the Laurentians rarely fits into one suitcase. It often means a cooler, trekking poles, beach towels, the dog, a picnic bag and sometimes a bike rack or inflatable kayak.
With its 60/40 split-folding rear bench, practical cargo area and available roof-accessory solutions depending on trim, the RVR becomes a true weekend companion.
Connectivity and comfort for long roads
The 8-inch touchscreen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto simplifies navigation to Mont-Tremblant, La Conception, Sainte-Adèle or the Oka National Park area. Heated front seats, automatic climate control and simple cabin controls make early departures and post-hike returns more pleasant.
The RVR is easy to live with: connected enough for modern driving, but not unnecessarily complicated. That is exactly what you want when the goal is to load up, set the destination and enjoy the road.
Fuel use built for long escapes
Adventure gets expensive when the tank empties too fast. The RVR performs well for its class, including a manufacturer-listed combined fuel consumption around 8.8 L/100 km for the 2.0L front-wheel-drive version.
On top of that, Mitsubishi's 10-year / 160,000 km limited powertrain warranty is a meaningful advantage if you plan to keep your vehicle for years and stack up kilometres between Saint-Jérôme, the Laurentians and Montreal.

Which accessories turn your RVR into an adventure companion?
A factory-equipped RVR is already well suited to weekend escapes, but a few approved accessories can make a real difference: roof crossbars, a roof box, bike rack, rubber all-weather mats, cargo liner, organizer net or a compatible hitch setup.
The parts department at St-Jérôme Mitsubishi can point you toward accessories that fit your exact trim and help protect your vehicle while organizing your gear.

A more equipped version for buyers who want extra comfort, technology and style.
Frequently asked questions from Saint-Jérôme adventurers
Can the 2026 RVR handle a dirt road to the cottage?

Yes, a fixed panoramic glass roof is offered on select upper trims of the 2026 RVR.
Can a hitch be installed on the 2026 RVR?
Yes, as long as the hitch and use respect the recommendations and capacities for your specific trim. The parts team can recommend a compatible setup.
