The Outlander and Outlander Sport releases by Mitsubishi have confused a lot of buyers in recent years. Normally, trim levels of each vehicle are named after the main vehicle release, which is the main cause of confusion between these two models. Most customers assume that the Mitsubishi Outlander Sport is another higher trim level in the Mitsubishi Outlander trim lines. However, this is not the case.
To help you differentiate the Outlander and Outlander Sport, here are three differences to study.
Passenger Capacity
To begin with, the Mitsubishi Outlander and Mitsubishi Outlander Sport differ a lot with their passenger capacity. Mitsubishi Outlander, for starters, is a massive three-row SUV that can host up to seven passengers, while the Mitsubishi Outlander Sport can hold up to five passengers on its two-row seats.
Engines and Interiors
Secondly, the Mitsubishi Outlander and Outlander Sport come with different engine types. The standard Outlander comes with a 2.4-liter inline four-cylinder engine, while the Outlander Sports comes with a 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine. The 2.4-liter engine can produce 166 horsepower and 162 pound-feet of torque, as the 2.0-liter engines let go of 148 horsepower and 145 pound-feet of torque.
Safety Features
Another notable difference is the number of advanced safety features in the vehicles. The Mitsubishi Outlander is packed with standard features such as Hill Start Assist systems, Latch child restraint systems, seven airbags around the vehicle, and Active Stability Control systems. The Outlander Sport, on the other hand, comes with extra safety features as standard. These include blind-spot monitoring and adaptive cruise control systems.
