What is the Mitsubishi Expo LRV?
The Expo LRV was a compact, tall-bodied wagon with a cabin arranged to carry passengers and everyday loads. In the United States, Mitsubishi used the name for its RVR, part of a family of practical passenger vehicles sold under different names around the world. LRV stood for “Light Recreational Vehicle.”
Its upright shape and sliding rear passenger door gave the Expo LRV a distinctive, practical layout. It offered a roomier feel than a conventional compact car while keeping to a compact wagon format.
