No pricing data available at this time. Our Opinion - 2025 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport Review Based on its rating, we don’t have many reasons to suggest the Mitsubishi Outlander Sport. This little SUV hasn’t held up well since it came out in 2011. Since then, there haven’t been many updates, and the most recent one we looked at, in 2020, was basically the same thing as the first one. The Outlander Sport’s maker has also been slowed down by time, giving it two old powertrains and not much else. We think that the Outlander Sport’s good looks and long protection are important features. A more up-to-date small SUV with more space, a better interior, and better gas mileage can be bought for about the same price. With its fully modern interior, great gas mileage, and many standard safety features, the Chevrolet Trax is a great example of how to make a cheap car that is also safe. You get the idea, but there are a lot of better options. What's New? The Outlander Sport has not been changed for the 2025 model year, but it would be nice to see some. Pros and Cons Pros The best size for the city. The least expensive model from the brand. Based on how it looks, it’s a Mitsubishi. Cons Their traits decide which trim levels are the lowest. Average gas mileage. Excellent safety grade from the NHTSA. Engine, Transmission, and Performance It’s hard to decide which of the Outlander Sport’s powertrain choices to go with. With 148 horsepower, the standard 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine moves very slowly. You can only get the more powerful 2.4-liter engine with 168 horsepower in the most expensive top-tier SEL model. It speeds up more quickly, but it uses more gas. A continuously variable automatic transmission (CVT) that isn’t very well-tuned comes with both engines. The Outlander Sport isn’t very sporty, but it will get you where you need to go without any problems. Even though there is some body roll in turns, it’s not enough to make the small SUV look unstable or tippy. For its class, the Outlander Sport has bad stopping distances. It’s soft for a moment when you press the brake button before it gets firm and responds. Safety The Outlander Sport comes with some basic driver-assistance systems, but you can still choose not to use blind-spot tracking and rear cross-traffic alert. The following are important safety features: Automated emergency braking and conventional forward collision warning. Normal warning for leaving your lane. Automatic highlights come as standard. Internal and External Cargo Capacity The Outlander Sport’s interior is mostly made up of large pieces of black plastic. This, along with the dashboard’s boring design, gives the car a very cheap feel, even though some grades are slightly better. There are no leather seats available right now. For extra style, some trims have red stitching on the seats. But the Mitsubishi’s low-end passenger feel can’t be helped, no matter how much money you have. The Outlander Sport also doesn’t have as much space in the back seats as cars like the Kia Soul and Honda HR-V. There is enough space in the back for two people to sit, but there isn’t much room for their legs. The Mitsubishi can’t hold as many carry-on bags as some of its rivals, but the Outlander Sport’s 60/40 split-folding back seats make it easy to make a flat floor for your bags. There aren’t many places to store things in the Outlander Sport, but the center bench is pretty deep, which is helpful. Under-floor storage in the trunk area is taken up by the spare tire, and there are no door pockets for people in the back. Fuel Economy and Actual MPG The Outlander Sport has lower EPA scores than more modern cars in the same class, whether you choose the base 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine or the optional 2.4-liter engine. The ranking says that the 2.0-liter engine can get 23 mpg in the city and 29 mpg on the highway. The 2.4-liter engine is thought to get 23 mpg in the city and 28 mpg on the highway. We used a strict testing method and drove an all-wheel-drive Outlander Sport with a bigger engine along our 75-mph highway fuel economy route. It has 25 mpg. Infotainment and Connectivity The base model has an entertainment system with a 7.0-inch touchscreen. All other trim levels have an 8.0-inch touchscreen that works with Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and SiriusXM satellite radio. The second one has real volume and tuning knobs, which we like, but the graphics don’t look very good, and there aren’t many choices for customizing them. But the Outlander Sport’s internet features aren’t as up-to-date as those of its competitors. Range, Charging, and Battery Life The 2.4-liter Outlander Sport we tried before went from 0 to 60 mph in 8.0 seconds, which was faster than several well-known competitors. Price and How to Choose If you choose the LE trim level, some features will make this Mitsubishi feel more like a new car than an old one. Most people will notice the 8.0-inch tablet with both Android Auto and Apple CarPlay. The update also adds black exterior features, red stitching on the seats, and a leather-wrapped steering wheel.
