A spunky little grocery getter.

2020 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport 2.0 SE 4dr SUV AWD (2.0L 4cyl CVT)

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.

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.

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!
