2023 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport review

1. Standard AWD for 2023 

2023 brought in a small but welcome change for the Mitsubishi Outlander Sport. Now, AWD is standard on every one of the six 2023 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport trims. This opens up the possibilities regarding the types of road surfaces you can drive on and the adventures you can take on dirt roads, winding tracks, and in hilly or mountainous areas. 

2. Six trims 

The 2023 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport has six trims to consider. They all come with a 148-hp engine with AWD, except for the top trim which has a 168-hp engine. The base S trim comes with all the expected essentials: a seven-inch touchscreen, USB port, for-speaker stereo, and more. The LE adds heated front seats and a larger eight-inch touchscreen, the SE includes blind-spot monitoring and lane change assist, and Ralliart brings in swanky black and red exterior and interior accents. Finally, the GT trim adds the more powerful engine, plus leather upholstery. 

3. Easy infotainment 

Information is literally at your fingertips with the 2023 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport’s infotainment system. As standard, the vehicle comes with a seven-inch touchscreen, which is nicely responsive. Not only that but the graphics are bright and user-friendly, making life easier for you when navigating to your favorite apps.  

4. Good cargo capacity 

For a compact SUV, the 2023 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport has a pleasing amount of space to offer. You might expect to have to forego space with a car this size, but this one has 21.7 cu-ft of space behind the rear seats. This is pretty generous, but with the rear seats folded flat, that volume extends to 49.5 cu-ft, which is more than enough for a hefty amount of luggage or even transporting small pieces of furniture. 

5. Good amount of driver aids 

The 2023 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport has a decent number of driver aids across the range of trims, including the base trim. As standard, the 2023 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport comes with a rearview camera, pedestrian detection, lane-departure warning, forward collision warning, and more. This is enough to put most peoples’ minds at ease, but find a higher trim of this model and you’ll also get blind-spot monitoring, rear parking sensors, lane change assist, and more.
