Mitsubishi designed the compact SUV segment, 2011 Outlander Sport.
Outlander Sport catches the eye with aggressive good looks and backs them up with excellent value and a long warranty: 5 years/60,000 miles basic, 10 years/100,000 miles powertrain. Mitsubishi Motors expanded the Outlander family lineup with the debut of an all-new crossover utility vehicle.

The entry-level Mitsubishi Outlander Sport crossover is powered by a 2.0 4-cylinder engine helping it average a highway fuel-economy of 31 mpg. The engine produces 148-hp and 143 lb-ft of torque and is mated to a 5-speed manual or a continuously variable automatic transmission.

The Outlander Sport has some standard features includes, cruise control, steering-wheel controls, heated outside mirrors, tilt/telescopic steering, a USB port, and the new FUSE Hands-free Link System that we’ve tested in the 2010 Mitsubishi Outlander GT. All Outlander Sport models with the CVT do include steering-wheel paddle-shifters, and seven airbags are standard.
