For 2019, the Mitsubishi Outlander Sport gets a handful of upgrades surrounding active safety systems. First, the SE and GT trims get Blind Spot Warning, Rear Cross-Traffic Alert, and Lane Change Assist. Then, on top of that the GT model gets Forward Collision Mitigation, Lane Departure Warning, and Automatic High-Beam Headlights. In addition, Mitsubishi is also dropping the SEL trim level entirely and reducing the price of the 2.4-liter GT trim with active safety features.

Exterior

The 2019 Outlander Sport is a compact crossover, giving it a shortened body. This means that the Outlander Sport has very little overhang in the front and rear, giving it a planted stance. The Outlander Sport’s colors are a bit of a one-of-each approach, with one color each for white, black, silver, gray, brown, red, and blue.

Performance

The Outlander Sport uses two engines for power. The first is a 2.0-liter four-cylinder, standard on the ES and SE trims, which produces 148 horsepower and 145 lb-ft of torque. Above that is a 2.4-liter four-cylinder, standard on the GT trim, which makes 168 horsepower and 167 lb-ft of torque.

Most models of the Outlander Sport then use a Sportronic® continuously variable transmission. The very base model, though, comes with a five-speed manual transmission. Each trim comes with either two-wheel drive or available All-Wheel Control.


Efficiency

The Outlander Sport ES, with two-wheel drive, a five-speed manual transmission, and the 2.0-liter engine, delivers 23/29/25 mpg city/highway/combined. With the CVT in the ES or SE, this becomes 24/30/27 mpg city/highway/combined. Finally, with all-wheel control, the ES and SE deliver 23/29/26 mpg city/highway/combined.

The GT trim, with two-wheel drive and the 2.4-liter engine, makes 23/29/25 mpg city/highway/combined. With all-wheel control this only changes for highway driving, becoming 28 mpg on the highway.
