The 2.0-Litre MIVEC engine in the 2025 Mitsubishi RVR SUV has a maximum horsepower of 148. If that wasn’t enough, the higher-tier SE AWC trim or above comes with a 2.4-Litre MIVEC engine that gets a maximum horsepower of 168. Both of these, however, pale in comparison to the maximum horsepower of 285 the 2025 Alfa Romeo Tonale PHEV gets, making its engine the far stronger option.

The 2025 Mitsubishi RVR SUV uses a combined 8.9 litres for every 100 kilometres, while the 2025 Alfa Romeo Tonale PHEV only uses a combined 8.1 litres for every 100 kilometres. On top of that, as a plug-in hybrid vehicle, the 2025 Alfa Romeo Tonale PHEV can go for up to 53 kilometres on pure electricity, meaning you can do shorter trips without using any fuel at all. Both of these factors make the 2025 Alfa Romeo Tonale PHEV the more fuel-efficient of the two SUVs.

If you’re looking for an SUV with both a powerful engine and fuel efficiency, the 2025 Alfa Romeo Tonale PHEV is the better option of these two SUVs. With its ability to run only on electricity you also get an added boost to your fuel efficiency, along with the luxurious cabin and technological features that will keep you safe and entertained while you drive.
