Expert Reviews

Expert reviews: 

The 2018 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport is old, crude, slow, and far from fuel-efficient, though it is cheap; buyers can likely do better.

Pros
Low price
Passably attractive lines
Loading people, goods is easy
So about that price…

Cons
Grim interior
Crude, slow powertrains
Low fuel-economy ratings
Active-safety gear missing from most trims

For 2018, the Mitsubishi Outlander receives updated styling front and rear, minor interior enhancements, and changes said to reduce cabin noise. There are new features this year as well. Every Outlander Sport now has a touchscreen display, and Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone integration is included on most trim levels.

PROS
Well-equipped for the price
Generous warranty coverage surpasses that of many rivals

CONS
Raucous drone while accelerating (especially with 2.0-liter engine)
Transmission is aggravating due to slow responses
Many interior materials look and feel cheap
Ride quality is jarring on bumpy roads
