About the 2025 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport
1st generation Outlander Sport in the U.S. (introduced for 2011), late-cycle year after the 2020 styling refresh.
Mitsubishi positions the Outlander Sport as a small adventure-minded SUV that blends standard all-wheel drive, easy city maneuverability, useful cargo space, and a long warranty in a smaller footprint than many rivals. Its core appeal is simple: higher seating, all-weather traction, and crossover practicality without moving up to a larger SUV. The brand leans more on value, everyday usefulness, and light off-pavement confidence than on speed, luxury, or cutting-edge tech.
The 2025 Outlander Sport is a small crossover with standard all-wheel drive throughout the lineup. LE and SE add an 8-inch touchscreen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, while SEL stands out with a stronger 2.4-liter engine, leather seating, and a power-adjustable driver’s seat. Trail Edition emphasizes rugged looks with special body trim and black wheels rather than major mechanical upgrades.
