High-tech features are great, but practical, functional essentials matter even more. The Outlander Sport comes standard with RISE body construction, rain-sensing windshield wipers, and rear privacy glass—features you won’t find on every trim of the competition. From day one, the Mitsubishi is built with purpose, while the Nissan has, well. . . gone rogue.

When comparing SUVs, it’s smart to start with the basics. For standard features that cover the essentials of getting from Point A to Point B safely and confidently, the Mitsubishi Outlander Sport has the edge over the Subaru Forester. With key features the Forester doesn’t offer at all, the Outlander Sport shows it knows how to take first-level offerings to the next level.

When it comes to compact SUVs, how do the Mitsubishi Outlander Sport and the Hyundai Tucson measure up? The Outlander Sport’s smaller size gives it the edge in maneuverability, making it easier to handle in tight parking spots and busy city traffic. Paired with its All-Wheel Control—offering better traction and stability than the Tucson’s front-wheel drive—it proves to be the right fit when agility and confidence matter.

Unlike traditional all-wheel drive (AWD) systems that primarily distribute power between the front and rear wheels, Mitsubishi’s All-Wheel Control actively manages power delivery and braking at individual wheels to enhance traction, stability, and handling. By continuously monitoring factors such as wheel speed, steering input, and road conditions, the system helps optimize vehicle control and driver confidence across a wide range of driving situations.

Engineering + Efficiency

Capability begins with a finely tuned engine, and the Outlander Sport gives you options. Two available powertrains deliver the performance you need to keep moving forward—wherever the road takes you. No matter which one you choose, you’ll have the strength to back you up.

Even with all that power, the Outlander Sport is extremely efficient, offering a standard EPA-estimated 23 city/29 highway MPG rating. This balance of power and efficiency comes from the advanced MIVEC (Mitsubishi Valve Timing Electronic Control) engine paired with a Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT). The result? Smooth acceleration, fewer fuel stops, and more time spent enjoying the drive.

Power Meets Precision

Engine power is just the beginning of what makes the Outlander Sport a confident, capable ride. Its CVT system mentioned above makes micro-adjustments as you accelerate, ensuring seamless, efficient power delivery—perfect for merging into traffic or cruising on the highway.

When conditions get tough, systems like Brake Assist, Active Stability Control, and standard All-Wheel Control step in to enhance grip and stability. By automatically sending power to the wheels with the most traction, the Outlander Sport helps you stay in control—even when you’re navigating rain-slicked streets or heading off the pavement.

The Mitsubishi Outlander Sport is backed by comprehensive warranty coverage for added peace of mind. It includes a 5-year/60,000-mile basic warranty, a 10-year/100,000-mile limited powertrain warranty, and anti-corrosion coverage for seven years or 100,000 miles, whichever comes first. In addition, Mitsubishi provides five years of roadside assistance with unlimited miles.

Built for Protection

Safety starts with smart construction, and the Outlander Sport delivers with its Reinforced Impact Safety Evolution (RISE) body structure. Engineered to absorb and redirect crash energy away from the cabin, the RISE design helps protect you and your passengers when it matters most.

Beyond the frame, standard safety-enhancing features like LED exterior lighting, automatic headlights with Daytime Running Lights, rain-sensing windshield wipers, and heated side mirrors help ensure you can see—and be seen—clearly in all kinds of driving conditions.

Smart Support, Mile After Mile

Solid construction is just the beginning—advanced driver-assist technologies take your protection to the next level. The Outlander Sport features intelligent systems designed to help you stay alert and aware, working along with your safe driving habits to keep you confidently in control:

  • Automatic High Beams
  • Forward Collision Mitigation with Pedestrian Detection
  • Lane Departure Warning
  • Hill Start Assist
  • Available Blind Spot Warning
  •  

  Even after you’ve reached your destination and parked, the Outlander Sport keeps looking out for you. Its standard Rear Seat Alert reminds you to check the back seats before exiting, helping ensure you never leave anything—or anyone—behind.

When every seat is occupied, the Mitsubishi Outlander Sport provides 21.7 cubic feet of cargo space behind the rear seats, offering enough room for shopping trips, kids’ backpacks and school projects, sports equipment, and more. Folding the rear seats expands capacity to 49.5 cubic feet, making it easier to carry larger purchases, moving boxes, bicycles, or a week’s worth of luggage.

Room for Everyone and Everything

A great 5-seat SUV puts comfort and space at the forefront—and the Outlander Sport delivers. With 97.5 cubic feet of passenger volume, there’s plenty of room for everyone to stretch out and enjoy the ride, whether it’s a quick errand or a long road trip.

The Outlander Sport makes it easy to transport your crew—and everything they bring along or pick up along the way. With 21.7 cubic feet of cargo space behind the rear seats, there’s plenty of room for groceries, backpacks, or sports gear. Have more cargo than passengers? Fold down the rear seats to open a spacious 49.5 cubic feet—perfect for bigger hauls or helping a friend move.

In Touch, In Comfort

The standard 8-inch Smartphone-Link display puts seamless connectivity at your fingertips with standard Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™. It’s easy to sync your device, giving you quick access to your favorite apps, messages, music, and more. You can also connect via standard Bluetooth® for wireless control on the go.
