Mitsubishi Outlander vs Outlander Sport Comparison

Mitsubishi Outlander vs. Outlander Sport: Compare Mitsubishi SUVs in Rockaway, NJ

Mitsubishi offers a diverse SUV roster with appealing options for many needs and preferences. Two of the automaker's most popular models are the Mitsubishi Outlander and the Outlander Sport. While their names may be similar, these crossovers offer unique attributes to suit different lifestyles. To help you determine the right fit for your Newark-area drives, here's a quick look at some of their distinguishing characteristics.

Performance

Outlander Sport

Most Mitsubishi Outlander Sport models are propelled by a 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine that sends 148 horsepower and 145 pound-feet of torque to the wheels through a continuously variable transmission. If you want something a little peppier for your Dover drives, the Outlander Sport GT upgrades to a 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine with 168 horsepower and 167 pound-feet of torque. Mitsubishi's Super All-Wheel Control (S-AWC) is standard with both powertrains, providing surefooted four-season handling and control.

Outlander

The Mitsubishi Outlander gets its motivation from a 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine with 181 horsepower and 181 pound-feet of torque. Power flows to the front wheels via a continuously variable transmission. However, you can get Super All-Wheel Control as standard in the SEL Platinum trim and optional for supporting tiers.

The Mitsubishi Outlander Plug-in Hybrid combines a 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine and two electric motors for a total output of 248 horsepower and 332 pound-feet of torque. A 20-kWh battery pack helps the Outlander PHEV achieve an EPA-estimated 54 MPGe (miles-per-gallon equivalent). Plus, with an estimated 38 miles of electric-only range, it's a great way to experience EV driving without switching to 100 battery power.
