2021 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport Overview Two New Trim Levels Plus An Awd Option

---

The 2021 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport is refreshed and ready to mingle. Complete with new trim levels and features for 2021, the small(ish) SUV received top marks in last year’s JD Power Initial Quality Study. If you’re looking for an affordable and sharp SUV, the new Outlander Sport makes a strong case. Here is an overview of the vehicle for 2021.
Engine Options & Fuel Economy RatingsThere are two different engine options for the Outlander Sport, depending on if you opt for front-wheel drive or all-wheel drive. Front-wheel drive models have a 2.0-liter MiVEC DOHC four-cylinder engine with 148 horsepower and 145 lb-ft. of torque. The all-wheel drive Outlander Sport, which employs Mitsubishi’s Super All-Wheel Control system, has a slightly larger 2.4-liter engine. Said engine creates 168 horsepower and 167 lb-ft. of torque.
Fuel economy is close for both engines. The front-wheel drive Outlander Sport has an EPA rating of 24/30 city/highway, while the all-wheel drive versions come in just slightly lower at 23/29 city/highway. The combined rating for both is 30 mpg.
Standard Safety & Tech FeaturesEvery 2021 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport is standard with Forward Collision Mitigation, Lane Departure Warning, and Automatic High Beams. Standard safety and convenience features on the ES and above include rain-sensing wipers, LED fog lights, auto-dimming mirror, and automatic headlights.
An eight-inch Smartphone-link Display Audio system is standard with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto on every model except the S and ES. Those latter two trim levels feature a conventional seven-inch display audio system.
