2024 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport: What's New, Specs & Features
Last updated August 4, 2026
The main change for the 2024 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport is the new Trail Edition, an appearance-focused trim with black exterior accents and graphics. Otherwise, this is a light trim update rather than a major redesign.
About the 2024 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport
1st generation (introduced for 2011), very late-cycle model year.
Mitsubishi positions the Outlander Sport as a small adventure-minded SUV that is easy to live with day to day. The big selling points are simple controls, a compact footprint for city driving, standard all-wheel drive on every trim, and a higher-riding body that feels more rugged than a small car. Compared with many rivals, its clearest differentiator is that AWD is not reserved for upper trims, so the model’s identity is value-focused utility rather than cutting-edge tech or sporty performance.
Every 2024 Outlander Sport has all-wheel drive, while the Trail Edition and RALLIART give the small SUV distinct outdoorsy and rally-inspired looks. The LE and SE add features such as Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and heated front seats, while the leather-trimmed SEL remains the only version with the larger 2.4-liter engine.

Frequently asked questions
What is the biggest change to the 2024 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport?
The biggest change is the new Trail Edition. It adds trail-themed black graphics and exterior trim while retaining the Outlander Sport’s standard all-wheel-drive layout.
Is the 2024 Outlander Sport Trail Edition an off-road upgrade?
No, the 2024 Trail Edition is mainly an appearance package rather than a mechanical off-road upgrade. Its distinguishing features are black hood graphics and extra black exterior trim, with no accompanying powertrain or chassis overhaul.
What happened to the GT trim for the 2024 Outlander Sport?
The GT was renamed SEL for 2024. The SEL continues as the top trim and keeps the larger 2.4-liter engine, leather seating surfaces, and power-adjustable driver’s seat.
Did the 2024 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport get a new engine?
No, the 2024 Outlander Sport did not receive a model-wide powertrain change. Most trims use the 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine, while the SEL remains the only trim with the 2.4-liter engine; every trim has all-wheel drive.
Is the 2024 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport meaningfully different from the 2023 model?
Only modestly. The 2024 model adds the Trail Edition, renames GT as SEL, and makes remote start standard on RALLIART, but it does not receive a broad powertrain, chassis, or safety overhaul.
