Key Features of the 2026 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport

All-Wheel Control (AWC)

All-Wheel Control (AWC) is standard across the entire 2026 Outlander Sport lineup, so you do not have to climb trims for confident traction. AWC helps optimize grip when pulling away from a light on a damp morning, stabilizes handling as you navigate slick intersections, and adds reassurance as you transition between surfaces. Paired with electric power steering and a 34.8-foot turning circle, the Outlander Sport feels planted yet agile, sizing perfectly for narrow lanes, tight driveways, and compact parking spots. With 8.5 inches of ground clearance, it also gives you the ride height and underbody margin many drivers prefer for everyday obstacles like speed humps, driveway aprons, and uneven shoulders.

2.0L MIVEC DOHC 16-valve Inline 4-cylinder

Under the hood is Mitsubishi’s proven 2.0L MIVEC DOHC 16-valve inline 4-cylinder (engine code 4B11), delivering 148 HP at 6000 rpm and 145 lb-ft of torque at 4200 rpm. Engineered with an aluminum block and aluminum cylinder heads, it is tuned for efficiency and durability—backed by regular unleaded fuel compatibility and an 0W-20 oil spec. The continuously variable transmission (CVT) complements the engine with smooth, responsive ratios, while a 6.026 final drive helps the powertrain feel lively around town. Together, the setup aims for balanced real-world performance: calm and steady at a cruise, confident when merging, and composed through stop-and-go traffic.

Advanced Driver Safety Technology Systems

Safety comes standard. The Outlander Sport integrates Forward Collision Mitigation (FCM) with Pedestrian Detection, Lane Departure Warning (LDW), Automatic High Beam (AHB), Active Stability Control (ASC), Hill Start Assist (HSA), a Rearview Camera, and seven airbags, including a driver knee airbag. RISE body construction adds structural reinforcement, while Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) helps you keep tabs on inflation. Available features like LED fog lights and heated power side mirrors further enhance visibility and control. The result is an approachable safety suite—easy to understand, always on, and thoughtfully aligned to the way you really drive.

8.0" Smartphone-Link Display Audio (SDA) with Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto

Staying connected is simple with the standard 8.0" Smartphone-Link Display Audio (SDA). Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto bring your apps, maps, and messages to the center screen, while Bluetooth® Wireless Technology and steering wheel audio and phone controls make hands-on moments more intuitive. HD Radio® and SiriusXM® with a 3-month All Access trial expand your listening options. An auto-dimming rearview mirror helps reduce glare at night, while Automatic Climate Control keeps the cabin comfortable without fuss. Select trims offer additional USB ports for front and rear passengers, and on LE you get heated front seats plus a leather-wrapped steering wheel and shift knob with red stitching for a sportier feel.

Practical Size, Flexible Space, and LED Visibility

The Outlander Sport’s compact footprint—171.9 inches long and 71.3 inches wide—fits easily into urban and suburban life, yet it delivers 97.5 cu. ft. of passenger volume and up to 49.5 cu. ft. of cargo space with the rear seats folded. The 60:40 split-fold rear seat makes quick work of gear, furniture runs, or luggage for two. LED low and high beam headlights and LED daytime running lights come standard for crisp illumination, and rear privacy glass adds both function and style. With 16-inch steel wheels or available 18-inch alloys, plus rain-sensing wipers, the Outlander Sport blends durability with refinement you can appreciate every day.
