Black exterior accents distinguish the Limited Edition from other Outlander Sport trims; the mirror caps and 18-inch alloy wheels are both painted black. There are also foglights, high-intensity-discharge headlights, a Limited Edition badge, an alloy fuel door and a backup camera.
Inside, the cabin gets black fabric upholstery and red stitching on the steering wheel, shift knob and parking brake lever. There’s also aluminum pedals.
Power comes from a 148-horsepower, 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine that works with a continuously variable automatic transmission. Front-drive models are rated at 24/30/27 mpg city/highway/combined. Estimated gas mileage for the all-wheel-drive version is slightly lower at 23/29/26 mpg.
