Expert Reviews

The 2019 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport is another year older and another step behind its competitors in every area but price.

Pros
Cheap
Inoffensive design
Practical interior space
Finally, more safety features

Cons
Noisy engines
Underwhelming power
Mediocre fuel economy
Lackluster quality

The 2019 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport packs a lot of features into a small and somewhat practical crossover body. It can make for a good value proposition, and Mitsubishi provides a pretty solid warranty, too. But this all assumes refinement, build quality and drivability don't feature too high on your list of must-haves.

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

CONS
Ride quality is very rough over bumpy roads
Many interior materials look and feel cheap to the touch
Transmission is aggravating due to slow responses
Raucous drone while accelerating, especially with 2.0-liter engine
