The Outlander Sport is easily maneuverable yet still offers ample space inside. You’ll find competitive interior dimensions that keep the front and second rows spacious enough for four passengers to ride comfortably. The rear provides a good amount of cargo space as well. The Outlander is highly competitive with others in its class, as you’ll see here.
| Vehicle | Front Head Room | Front Leg Room | Rear Head Room | Rear Leg Room |
| Mitsubishi Outlander Sport | 39.4″ | 41.6″ | 37.9″ | 36.3″ |

The Mitsubishi Outlander Sport offers 21.7 cubic feet of cargo room behind the second row. With the back seats folded down, this increases to a generous 49.5 cubic feet. The RAV4’s smaller front row may have given way to some extra cargo space as it offers 37.6 cubic feet behind the second row and 69.8 cubic feet behind the first row. The Chevy Trailblazer is a more comparable option with 25.3 cubic feet behind the rear seats and 54.4 cubic feet with the second row folded.
The Outlander Sport offers a plethora of comforts including automatic climate control, a spacious center console, and available heated front seats.
The Outlander Sport is meticulously designed for optimal safety. Its Reinforced Impact Safety Evolution (RISE) technology diverts the force of a collision away from passengers while the seven-airbag system helps cushion everyone inside. The Outlander Sport also comes equipped with advanced driver assistance systems to help prevent a collision in the first place. This includes standard lane-departure warning, automatic high beams, forward-collision warning, and automated emergency braking. Active Stability Control automatically controls traction, stability, and the anti-lock brakes if the wheels start to slip, helping you stay in control.
The Outlander Sport’s impressive technology extends to its infotainment systems as well. On all but the base model, you’ll enjoy Bluetooth 2.0 technology, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity, and advanced speech recognition, accessible via the 8-inch touchscreen.
Mitsubishi’s warranty is one of the best on the market, making the Outlander Sport an excellent choice for those who want extreme protection and unparalleled peace of mind. This vehicle comes with a 5-year/60,000-mile limited warranty as well as a 10-year/100,000-mile powertrain warranty. Mitsubishi vehicles receive complimentary maintenance for the first two years or 30,000 miles that your Outlander Sport spends on the road.
The Outlander Sport is the smaller counterpart to the standard Mitsubishi Outlander. If you find the dimensions of the Sport too confining, you may prefer the larger Outlander which offers seating for seven rather than five. In the standard Mitsubishi Outlander, you’ll enjoy more head and leg room in the front and second rows. You’ll also get a maximum cargo capacity of 64.3 cubic feet behind the front seats with the other seats folded down.
The Outlander is a more powerful option as well with a 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine that delivers 181 horsepower and 181 lb.-ft. of torque. The Outlander Sport, in comparison, comes with either a 2.0-liter four-cylinder with 148 horsepower and 145 lb.-ft. of torque or a 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine with 168 horsepower and 167 lb.-ft. of torque. The Outlander also offers slightly better fuel economy with an EPA-estimated 24/31/27 MPG city/highway/combined. In comparison, the Outlander Sport provides just 23/29/26 MPG city/highway/combined.
If you want outstanding fuel economy, the Outlander PHEV is the way to go. This vehicle offers 64 MPGe made possible by a 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine that delivers 131 horsepower and 144 lb.-ft. of torque combined with a 20 kWh lithium-ion battery. The gas engine by itself offers the same 26 MPG combined as the Outlander Sport. With the electric motor only, you can enjoy a driving range of up to 38 miles. With the gas engine included, this extends to 420 miles. You can opt for either five or seven seats in the Outlander PHEV.
If you’re looking for an affordable SUV, the Outlander Sport is sure to top your list. The 2024 Mitsubishi Sport starts at just $25,365 for the base model. If you move up to the more luxurious LE model, you’ll still pay only $28,545. Compare this to the 2024 Toyota RAV4 which starts at $30,025 at its base level and you’ll see a marked difference. Even the top-of-the-line Outlander Sport SEL is only $30,380, so you can afford to invest in far more upgrades with this vehicle.
The Outlander Sport covers all its bases in terms of safety and technology, but moving up to higher trim levels is recommended. The Outlander Sport lets you enjoy all the sporty functionality of a smaller vehicle with the sleek styling and shape of an SUV. For an accessible entry into the compact SUV market, this is an economical to go.
