This is a great little SUV that's very stylish and the ride is as smooth as any other SUV I've driven! I have the 2021 Outlander SE and everyone who has seen this brilliant red beauty loves the looks of it! I'm not sure why the so-called experts don't approve, but if you ask those who own one what they think the overwhelming majority will tell you that they are very pleased with the Outlander!

After an exhaustive search, I selected a 2020 Outlander Sport Black Edition 2.0 as the best vehicle to meet my needs. My search was guided by these non-negotiables: A spare tire A premium stereo with a subwoofer Minimal or no center console Comfortable driver seat No sharp edges on driver’s door or center console One might think these features are easy to find but they are most definitely not! I am replacing a 2015 Honda FIt EX which I discovered has the most god-awful uncomfortable driver seat on the planet. The seat is numbingly cruel on long drives. Additionally, the hard plastic edges on the console and driver’s interior door panel conspire to create discomfort. It’s basically an iron maiden on wheels. Swearing off Hondas, my research for all my non-negotiables was frustrated. The Toyota RAV4 came closest, but the premium JBL stereo was repeatedly slagged by users as cheap and underpowered. I was inspired to check out Mitsubishi because my spouse’s 2008 Mitsubishi Eclipse is reliable and has an impressive Rockford Fosgate stereo. I discovered the full size Outlander had a very modest center console and enough space for my legs. Unfortunately, the newer models forgo a spare tire; a deal breaker. Moving down to the Outlander Sport, I found everything on my list in the Black Edition 2.0. I decided to purchase a 2020 since it appears the 2021 model year will no longer offer the Rockford Fosgate stereo in any trim level. Count me among the other consumer reviewers who are baffled at the hate grenades lobbed into Mitsubishi’s foxhole. The Edmunds reviewer throws about bludgeoning descriptors such as underpowered, unrefined, aggravating, rough, cheap, jumpy, skittish, harsh, floaty, noisy, lacking, and subpar. The reviewer intimates that if you somehow still decide to purchase the Outlander Sport after this over-the-top beatdown you cannot possibly have fun driving it unless you have an overactive imagination and your discernment for driving is overruled by your pricing requirements. The reviewer’s assessment is loaded with unwarranted hyperbole. Speaking as one who finds many cars over-engineered, I find the Outlander Sport to be refreshingly intuitive and reliable. I do concur with the Edumunds reviewer on the following: The Outlander Sport offers the basics as a compact SUV: Well-equipped for the price Excellent warranty coverage Appealing ergonomics Easy to operate, with clearly marked controls and an easy-to-read instrument panel Large door openings to the front seats Easy to learn connectivity that is simple to set up Acceptable cargo utility, the load floor is flat and expansive, and the tall roofline makes loading easy Dated but sturdy No-nonsense Dependable If you discern these latter descriptors sound like what you would imagine a great SUV to be, do yourself a favor and check out the Outlander Sport. You can use the money you’ll save purchasing the Outlander Sport doing something fun other than driving. 1st year update: 21,000 miles. Best miles per gallon: 29. All good with the glaring exception of the failure of the multi-functional display. I lost about 50% of the pixels at 18,000 miles. Dealership removed and replaced it and I've had no other issues. 2nd year update: 36,000 miles. I've noticed the multi-functional display can be hard to read during the day. The catalytic converter was sawed off while parked overnight at a Holiday Inn Express in Chicago. $4,000 dollars to fix and much time wasted. I found out a Mitsubishi dealer can weld a shield over the converter to prevent theft. I recommend you have one installed before you drive off the lot. I still recommend the car

WHAT THE FRI&&&%>K IS WRONG WITH EDMUNDS?

2022 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport 2.0 ES 4dr SUV (2.0L 4cyl CVT)
16 of 16 people found this review helpful
This is my 2nd Outlander sport. The first one was trouble free. for thousands of miles and many YEARS. The 2022 we got last week we like ALOT, but it is too soon to tell how reliable it will be. I will come back in about a year to update. Why does Edmunds bash this vehicle ""every year"" why?? We like our Outlander Sport, it was thousands less than the Toyota, VW & Honda AND with a longer warranty too. Our Outlander sport has good looks, roomy interior EXCELLENT BRAKES & a good crash rating. The "stuff" Edmunds complains about is mostly subjective things like the rough ride, the "cheap interior" & slow acceleration this is all """subjective"" we get up to 70 mph easily & we find the ride comfortable & smooth. As for the interior. The Outlander Sport is no Cadillac BUT the dash is well laid out, All the controls are easy to reach, we think it looks great, Sure Mitsubishi has not changed the dash for a few years BUT on the plus side you can get parts easier because it's been around a while. All in all, for a SUV in the 30,000-dollar category, the Outlander Sport holds its own very well with its competitors. Again, all the things even I mentioned are subjective. Edmunds should at the very least tell potential customers that much of their review is subjective and your opinions may vary. What's wrong with you Edmunds? Why hate on Mitsubishi's Outlander Sport? Edmunds the interior comfort, engine drone, lack of acceleration & stiff ride are all subjective. I know a few Outlander Sport owners like me that feel the Outlander Sport has a comfortable ride. CVT also gets up to 70-80 mph with decent acceleration & has a decent look and feel interior with excellent heating and air conditioning. We are very happy with Mitsubishi & at least in my review unlike Edmunds, I can say our review is mostly subjective. This is our opinion of the vehicle.

I have just driven across Florida and I got 32.1 mpg which exceeded expectations. If you drive it easily without hard acceleration, this mileage is achievable. If you do mostly stop and go, you’ll get 22 mpg. As for styling inside the cabin, it’s basic and gets the job done. My biggest concern is that when it’s shifted to reverse, the rear screen is impossible to view in any bright Sun, but good when it’s nighttime. I feel that this defeats the purpose of the camera and is actually a safety issue. The other beef I have is that the fuel mpg resets to zero every time it isn’t used and there’s no way to monitor your mpgs between fill-ups. I have to keep a log of mileage and fuel used to calculate mpgs. There’s a lot of road noise heard on rough roads. Overall I am happy with my purchase but wouldn’t buy one again as there’s many cars that have better features for approximately the same price.

We purchased our 2020 Pearl White Outlander Sport through a certain famous online auto retailer for my wife. The car has a little over 43,000 miles on it. The CVT is programmed in the classic pure CVT fashion vs the modern “stepping” logic that’s used to make them feel like traditional automatics. So it does have that constant engine rev while accelerating. We don’t mind, as acceleration is improved in this class, when not faking a shift. Speaking of acceleration, the 2.0 liter engine isn’t quick, but it’s not hateful with a 0-60 time of about 8.5-9 seconds, which is average for the class, and further aided by the fact the vehicle is super light at just under 3200lbs. The CVT engages and transitions ratios very smoothly, and has resulted in mid-to-upper 20’s MPG fuel economy. The addition of selectable all wheel control (2WD, Auto 4WD, locked 4WD) will be a huge benefit for her during the winter months as well. The SE trim means it has all sorts of safety technologies available to help prevent a collision, power folding heated mirrors with side markers, and finally; having a large, vibrant 8” screen with Apple CarPlay is a plus. Automatic climate control seems accurate, and the red dash board contrasts nicely agains the white instrument cluster and color touch screen. The seats are all-day comfortable, and despite the lack of adjustable lumbar, they do provide solid lumbar support. Don’t be discouraged by the professional reviewers. They focus their reviews to line up with the average ongoing American perspective that there’s always room for better. That said, if you want solid value, an excellent reliability history, comprehensive safety technologies, and can live with the “only average handling for the class”, and some low-cost interior materials (it’s soft touch where it needs to be, and the harder plastics will likely help prolong the lifespan of the interior anyway), then like us; you may find the 2020+ Outlander Sport / RVR (Canada) is an ideal choice for your needs.

60K miles 3 year update: Still 100% reliability and no repairs, only routine maintenance. Typical fuel economy average has been around 33mpg. Probably the most reliable car I have ever owned in the first three years, compared to a couple of prior Toyotas, Dodges, Chevrolets, and a Honda. There is something about simple execution and high reliability in the Outlander Sport. One thing of note, the excellent short braking distance has prevented accidents more than once. The braking ability is on par with some sport cars with the short controlled distance, I have never owned a car able to stop in a dime in all conditions like this one before. Most people coming from a regular geared automatic do not take the time to learn how to drive a fly by wire CVT system and are often disappointed. 0-60 time consistently in under 9 seconds, 1990s sport car levels. 30+ MPG consistently in mixed driving - yes the FWD helps here a bit with less overall weight. All because I unlearned how a geared automatic works and learned to properly drive the fly by wire CVT. Rather than the accelerator pedal controlling the engine air and fuel flow, which then revs the engine to produce power to the transmission which shifts gears, this CVT accelerator pedal sets the acceleration speed by how far you press the pedal down. Depending on current speed, load, and how far down the pedal is pressed, the engine and transmission computer work in tandem to balance acceleration versus fuel economy. Once past about the first 10 MPG which is where it works to maintain highest MPG, it can launch very fast with the pedal pressed to the floor. Is it a little jiggly with the tight suspension, but it gives a firm feedback control on poor road conditions. Is it a little noisier with more road noise than others, but it gives a clear indication when tires are starting to hydroplane or lose traction on ice and snow - lower risk of an accident. Are the seats comfortable enough, yes when adjusted properly in conjunction with the steering wheel. What I love about it. Big mirrors, ability to get a high and visible seating position, massive cargo space. Basically consider this at the same price point as most compact cars, but in a more useful size. At the time, it was $5K less than a comparable equipped Kia Soul, during the new car shortage only the Mitsubishi dealer was a few hundred below MSRP while all others, including Kia were thousand over MSRP.

Do NOT listen to expert that "dog" this vehicle. Just look at the Edmund's review. Edmund's "dogs" this car - EXCEPT when it comes to value. Edmunds had no choice but to give it 8/10. It's not a Porsche. But I will tell you that this SUV brought me home safely out of a level 2 snow emergency. Do you want a reliable SUV that you can depend on? Buy it!

We have 2 outlander sports and are very happy with them. Comfortable, reliable and trouble free ( both of them) Oil changes are all we have had to do. The ac is very cold and needed in Florida. The brakes stop the sport well and has great pedal feel. The seats are comfortable & controls well laid out. The CVT works well & we DO NOT notice a "drone" strain or struggle when accelerating. Edmunds is very harsh on the Outlander Sport and we do not know why? 15,000 trouble free & reliable miles on one and 5500 on the other. They say it has had little in way of styling changes over the years well, ever think how much that helps the consumer?? getting parts is much easier body panels, electronic parts and interior parts are much easier to get because the "style" is outdated?? outdated??? we like the style, The Outlander Sport looks nice, trouble free so far & a comfortable SUV to drive with a good amount of storage. What is Edmunds issue with the Outlander Sport? it is not nearly as bad as they make it out to be. Our issue with Mitsubishi is the dealer network is very small. The closest Mitsubishi dealer to us is 25 miles away & when we visit family in Ohio, the closest one there is 90 miles away. Mitsubishi's dealer network is very small here in the USA. Other than that, We feel Mitsubishi has a nice looking, reliable vehicle with a outstanding warranty. The dealer network needs to be bigger. All in all, the Outlander Sport is and has been good to us comfortable to drive and we are happy.

This car is a 2022. It has 4400 miles on it. I purchased it in June or July of this year. The fob battery has had to be changed 3 times. And even 1 week after changing one of the batteries out it happened again. The car will not acknowledge the ignition while I am driving or while I am trying to start the vehicle. It regularly leaves me scared and stranded outside of my place of employment most week days after work because it will not let me in my car nor will it let me start my car. I start to drive, keys hanging from the turn signal, and it screams that it cannot find the fob. The cruise control does not work. I cannot talk to call via the steering wheel. It does not work. The face plate on the radio/google maps turns black, turns the volume all the way up and turns the radio on... For 20 to 45 minutes. The volume will not turn down. The radio cannot be turned off. The CAR WOULD NOT TURN OFF!!!!!!!!!!!! The heated seats stop working after a couple of minutes because I live in the south and it malfunctions when it gets too hot???????? Really??? (The south is hot. Who's idea was this?) I use the heated seats to get to and from work after a major vehicle accident that left me with a severely injured back. The heat helps to drive to work. Can't use that anymore. When I accelerate, some times the transmission will not up shift until I take my foot off the gas and press back again. All of this and the service guys said they didn't know what is wrong and I need to take it back to the salesman because they know more about these things......... READ THAT AGAIN! When I went to the salesman he said he could make it right by putting me in something comparable. His idea of comparable is 2019 with 40,000 miles at the same price, if I am lucky. You can't make this up. If someone at Mitsubishi makes this right, I just might stop screaming the horror at the top of my lungs but this company is bleeding unhappy customers driving in death traps. And they just don't care. I bought it. It's mine. No one at this place cares except the ppl at corporate who are so distanced from their "franchise owners" and employees that they don't really have any idea of how bad this is or how difficult it is to navigate their highly unmotivated staff. Sorry. I miss spoke. They are highly motivated to make a sale or pawn you off when they have gotten your money and a problem arises, just not motivated enough to rise to the customer service level it takes to solve a good paying customer's problems. No. Don't buy this car. The 2022 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport is an afterthought. Nothing on this vehicle works as it should. Not even the warranty. The servicemen even admitted they didn't know what was wrong. If your Dr. told you they couldn't figure out why you were peeing blood, would you go back? Would you pay him? Food for thought. Bad form Mitsubishi!!!!! Bad form!

I love my SE. These cars haven't been updated much since they were first built 15 years ago. So, the fuel efficiency is ok but not great and the interior is pretty simple with some RadioShack like buttons...but that's exactly why I like it! No recalls on its engine and great warranty. Actual buttons. Fewer things to break and cheaper to fix. Haven't had a single problem so far. Just due your maintenance and it should last a long time. Fuel: I keep it in 2WD mode mostly. Avg about 27 in mixed driving, 29/30 on Hwy. Drive: It's a CVT engine. A pure, simple one. This means it'll keep revving and buzzing until you reach your speed. But you'll get used to it and power is adequate from a stop or passing. Again, just does the job, nothing more. Seats are really comfortable/firm. Heated seats work well. SE has great package of features and I think gives you most bang for your buck in terms of safety features, heated seats, larger screen and push button start. Visibility is great. Doors are a little tin-y so make sure to shut them good. Looks are great. These cars are sold around the world (as an "ASX") in often difficult terrain areas. From Australia to remote Islands and the Andes - they have a much better reputation than U.S. where reviews tend to be too harsh and Americans seem more jazzed by fancy trims. To me, having been in them in many countries, it's a great sign that they're just meant to get the job done anywhere. Highly recommend for anyone, especially if you just want a reliable, simple, safe vehicle that'll last you forever if you take care of it - if buying new, they tend to have great rebates (I got mine about $6000 below sticker as a remaining 2024 being sold in April 2025).

I bought the 2021 outlander sport and frankly it wasn’t the car I wanted but it was the only one I was approved for. My favorite is the eclipse cross. This suv is a nice one but not a extraordinary one. I think the engine is noisy, the rides are somewhat smooth, but not much. I mean, it’s better than nothing but what upset me was that the base model, which was the only one available in my dealer, is lacking a few important features that the new 2022 has like lane departure warning, automatic windshield wipers, android auto and apple car, all wheel drive and others. It’s too plain for the price of $26,000. I hope to change it in the future for a better model.

I rented this vehicle for a 10-day tour of the Southwest, Colorado, New Mexico, and Texas. It came equipped with the 2.0L 148HP engine. This thing was very sluggish. It is always in ECO mode. The only way to turn off ECO mode is to step on the gas pedal, but the acceleration is still really bad. You need plenty of passing lane to safely pass another car. Android Auto is not very reliable. I found that after a couple hours of driving the Android Auto connection to my phone would be lost. The only way to re-connect seems to be to stop and re-start the car. My phone never drops the Android Auto in my 2019 Honda Accord, so it had to be Mitsubishi's software/hardware that was at fault. The screen display, which is normally east to see, becomes quite dim when in back-up mode. It is very difficult to use this screen to see what is behind you. It is way to dim. Oddly enough, it has cross-traffic monitoring with audible alarm, but there was no audible alarm to warn you when there was an obstacle behind you when backing up. The sun-visors would be much more helpful if they were extendable. I did love the blind-spot warning system, it did work well. Suspension is soft with some body roll. Not confidence inspiring. Would never buy one, would never even rent one, again.

I am an owner of outlander. Comfortable drive in highway with peppy acceleration where there is power at all times at various rpm. Great when merging on to lanes, over talking. I have taken this for high way driving at 70 MPH and it is comfortable for me. Much more comfortable than many cars which I have driven. Because of its correct suv size , and myself being a tall guy, I get the right good interior cabin space. It has got good manoeuvrability and good turning radius. The Mitsubishi engine MIVEC engine does its thing to get the performance. I have also taken a trip with a top expensive European SUV and the outlander is more comfortable on the highway. Not sure if the tyres contributed to the better comfort or not. It was definitely not like what is said in the reviews or in youtube about the outlander. Does not have apple car play or android but has the car features I need like calling , importing the phone book on the screen and other features.

I had something in mind when I began my search. But the Outlander checked all the boxes for me. 4wd was mandatory for living in Colorado. I wanted lots of room, but something good on gas mileage. My Highlander has everything i wanted and more. I couldn't be happier ☺️.

Full disclosure, my review of the Outlander Sport is based on a recent two day rental car experience. I picked up my Sport from the rental car agency in Arizona, I was told to get to a certain slot and where my chariot awaited me. When I saw that it was a Mitsubishi Outlander Sport my heart sank a bit as I had read the review on Edmunds. What I did not fully understand was the depth of automotive misery that I was about to encounter. The MOS's handling is simply awful, the car wallows, dips, sways and generally handles like its suspension came from a 1950's Chevrolet. The engine is anemic and with its truly terrible CVT, screams like a cat in heat whenever asked to accelerate, something that despite the howling takes a very long time. The doors are tinny and the inside rattled. The surfaces are all hard plastic and the instrument gauge looks like something from the mid-2000's. It is clear that Mitsubishi hasn't done much of anything to update this since its introduction in 2012, these guys make Chrysler look downright cutting edge. Simply put, the MOS is the worst car I have driven in recent memory and I would advise anyone who may be in the market for one to consider something, anything, else.

Gave it two Stars because it’s pretty nice looking but that’s it. No power seats, no gps drives like crap. You would think as much as it costs it would come with these two things. Cheap plastic all over. It’s not worth that much money. Walk away….better yet run!! Go get something better.

This is my 2nd Mitsubishi. The first (Galant) lasted me 10 years and had 160,000 miles on it when I traded it in. I wanted an SUV and found a great deal on a Chevy Equinox. After two back-to-back Chevy Equinoxes, I went back to Mitsubishi. I found a used 2020 Outlander Sport and have been driving it for 2 years now. I love it. It's a great little SUV for getting around in. Has plenty of room, comfortable seating, and more get up and go for merging onto the highway than my previous Equinox. I don't know why the experts don't like it, but it is an affordable, reliable, cute, easy to operate, fun to drive little vehicle that does not break the bank.
I love my 2023 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport LE!

I swore I'd never own a crossover SUV. I am a tall person with really bad knees due to my military service and anything less than a full-size SUV meant pain in my k red anytime I got out of the vehicle. However, full-size SUVs are going the way of the dodo, and the ones left are so expensive now. I'd been looking at different cars for two years, nursing another few months out of the Jeep Liberty I'd been driving for several years, and just didn't like the appearance of the ones I was seeing. As important as everything else is about a car, for me... The appearance matters, too. One fay, I happened to drive past a local Mitsubishi dealership as a truck was there unloading cars and I saw a red one that looked fantastic, in my opinion. I went home and immediately looked up the website to see what car it was. They had others on the lot, so they already had one like what I was looking for. The Outlander Sport LE had everything I was looking for, plus a few more bells and whistles than I usually spring for when buying a car, and the price was right in the middle of the price range I was seeking.. The mileage rating were great, the safety ratings were great, reviews from other past owners were surprisingly positive given you rarely see these on the road or in commercials (and what's up with that, Mitsubishi???) All in all, it seemed like a solid car that people enjoyed owning. I woke up early the next morning, a Saturday, got pre-approved for the loan, took a tall friend with me (I am also tall, but I wanted the friend so they could help me with the roominess of the back seat) and was at the dealership when they opened their doors. I did a test drive over about an hour over a variety of roads and came away extremely happy with the car. I will say the transmission can be a little sluggish, particularly when going uphill, but taking your foot off the gas to give it a chance to "catch up" for a second or two helps in that regard, but otherwise, the car's far more impressive than Edmunds and Car & Driver would have us believe. I'm not a novice driver. Until I got out of the Air Force and drove exclusively SUVs because of my knees, I was strictly a muscle car w/a stick shift person who has lived and driven all over the world. The 2023 Outlander Sport LE still impresses me. I live in a semi rural area and the car handles the curvy roads well, with no concerns about it not holding the road on the curves. The steering is tight but comfortably so and because of rhis, it's a joy to drive. The inside comfort is such I feel I can do a long drive and not feel as though i've just been best up. The comfort bells and whistles, including the steering wheel controls for the radio and phone, are simply the cherry on top of this ice cream sundae. What I enjoy the most is routinely getting between 25 and 30 MPG, as I drive both highways and city street to work everyday. The pain at the pump is no more. Even with higher gas prices right now, yesterday, with my dash light telling me I needed gas, I filled the car up for just under $40, which will last me a full two weeks. Finally, total strangers are constantly telling me how much they love my car, both the color (red) and the body style. So long as Mitsubishi keeps making this car, and they keep the same body style, I will continue to drive these cars until I take my last breath. I would also recommend this for newer, young drivers, teenagers. With better than average safety ratings and how great it is in gas, this would be a good car for them. It vs not so powerful they would have trouble handling it, but it's still a good looking car at an affordable price.

Before buying this, I was driving a 2018 BMW 3series 330ixdrive, great car but not reliable. So i decide to check the Outlander Sport out as i had once back in 2010. What can i say these cars never disappoint. They're spacious inside super nice and comfy. Only complaints ill have is the front dash feels outdated. But other than that great car great on gas lack a little power but it gets the job done. Love it !
