Vehicle Overview

The 2016 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport gets a refresh for the model year, with the focus being updating its exterior styling.
ExteriorStyling changes are highlighted by a new nose that features an updated front grille drawn from Mitsubishi’s Dynamic Shield design concept. This look is also worn by the larger Outlander and will eventually make its way across the rest of the Mitsubishi lineup. The middle of the front bumper is blacked out, which joins the grille with the lower air intake to form what looks like one continuous opening. The headlights have been restyled as well, and the fog lights lose their LED accents, adding black surrounds to better match the rest of the nose.
There are also new standard 18-inch alloy wheels, while SEL and GT models add new power folding side mirrors with LED turn signal indicators. Three new paint colors are available: Cool Silver, Diamond White Pearl and Quartz Brown.

InteriorThe interior design is unchanged, but there is a new steering wheel on all models. SE and higher trim levels add a new a 6.1-inch screen for the display audio system and upgraded seat fabric. SEL and GT models now come with an auto-dimming rearview mirror, and the SE features a new light gray interior color scheme option.
Under the HoodThere are no changes to the powertrain; the Outlander Sport keeps the same two engine options. A 148-horsepower, 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine comes standard, while a 166-hp, 2.4-liter four-cylinder is optional. There are two transmission choices: a five-speed manual or continuously variable transmission. The Outlander Sport also continues to offer a 10-year/100,000-mile powertrain limited warranty, which ties it with Hyundai and Kia.
SafetyBeyond the federally mandated front airbags, antilock brakes and an electronic stability system, the Outlander Sport offers additional airbags (side-impact, side curtain and driver’s knee) and hill start assist.

  • Love it so far!

    I've only had it a week, but I feel like I've struck gold. This car drives and handles beautifully. Definitely a huge step up from my Kia Soul and I can't wait to road trip with it!

  • Bad fuel economy.

    The fuel economy is bad. The mpg should be 24 city and 30 highway but that's not correct. If I drive it carefully I get 24 mpg highway and 18 mpg in the city. The car don't have any spot for the phone, this is a almost new car and the don't have a phone holder. I'm 5' 7'' and I can't adjust the seat can't so I sit comfortably I sit way to low.

  • Great value for the money spent.

    Dependable, decent MPG (32-34 on the road). Dealership maintenance has been great. Had a 2015 and upgraded to a 2016. Nothing too fancy on it, just enough to get me to and from.

  • Very comfortable and smooth

    It’s not great with gas mileage, but it’s not horrible. It’s very comfortable to drive/ride in. It was pre-owned and missing the keyless entry remote, but I have the keys.

  • One of the best cars I've owned. Very dependable.

    Great driving car. Very responsive and comfortable. Roomy trunk but you can fold down just 1 or both seats to carry a larger load. It gets up to 30 highway so very economical for a SUV. Its automatic but can be fun to use manual shift for a change up. Only selling because we needed a larger SUV with a third seat for growing family.

    This car is a great ride. It's smooth and fun to drive. It has lots of space and an awesome looking interior. Included 3rd row seating which was an amazing option for a parent of 2. Great car. I'm enjoying it very much. Especially the all wheel drive for winter.
