A recent addition to the sub-compact SUV category, the RVR remains unchanged for 2015. The GT version, however, now comes with a new CVT gearbox and LED daytime running lights. The materials in the passenger compartment have been improved. Two four cylinder engines are available for the RVR; a 2.0 or a 2.4 liter. The 2.0 can be paired with either a five-speed manual or CVT and your choice of FWD or AWD while the 2.4 is only available with the CVT and AWD.
