2023 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport specs

Price: We expect the 2023 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport will have a starting price of approximately $22,000.

The 2023 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport is a 5-passenger subcompact SUV that competes with a long roster of outstanding competitors including the Honda HR-V, Hyundai Venue, Kia Seltos, Subaru Crosstrek, and Volkswagen Taos.

What helps to set the Outlander Sport apart is a low entry cost, not to mention a sizable powertrain warranty that extends to 10 years/100,000 miles. Having that added peace of mind matters a lot in this value-conscious slice of the SUV market.

Other than some modest tweaks to exterior design options and perhaps some changes to available option packages, we don’t foresee any major updates for the 2023 Outlander Sport.

Just don’t confuse this model with Mitsubishi’s larger and pricier Outlander, a larger SUV with three rows of seating and an available plug-in hybrid (PHEV) variant.

Offered in standard front-wheel-drive format, most versions of the Outlander Sport are motivated by a 148-horsepower 2.0-liter 4-cylinder coupled to a continuously variable automatic transmission (CVT). All-wheel drive is optional, though the Outlander Sport GT model has it fitted as standard and comes with a peppier 2.4-liter 4-cylinder that sends 168 horsepower to all four wheels.

Standard features found on the Outlander Sport include automatic climate control, a 7-inch touchscreen, and safety items like forward collision warning, automatic emergency braking, and automatic high-beam headlights. Stepping up to the available 8-inch infotainment screen adds popular features like Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and doesn’t dramatically increase the price.

2023 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport Pricing

Look for the 2023 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport in base trim and front-wheel-drive format to have a starting price of around $22,000.

That makes it a solid bargain as it squares off against subcompact SUV rivals from Hyundai, Toyota, Honda, Chevrolet, and Volkswagen.

Adding available all-wheel drive increases the Outlander Sport’s price to about $25,000.

In its highest trim, the Outlander Sport GT with its 168-horsepower 4-cylinder and standard AWD comes to about $28,000, before factoring in any extras and option bundles.

KBB Vehicle Review and Rating Methodology

Our Expert Ratings come from hours of both driving and number crunching to make sure that you choose the best car for you. We comprehensively experience and analyze every new SUV, car, truck, or minivan for sale in the U.S. and compare it to its competitors. When all that dust settles, we have our ratings.

We require new ratings every time an all-new vehicle or a new generation of an existing vehicle comes out. Additionally, we reassess those ratings when a new-generation vehicle receives a mid-cycle refresh — basically, sprucing up a car in the middle of its product cycle (typically, around the 2-3 years mark) with a minor facelift, often with updates to features and technology.

Rather than pulling random numbers out of the air or off some meaningless checklist, KBB’s editors rank a vehicle to where it belongs in its class. Before any car earns its KBB rating, it must prove itself to be better (or worse) than the other cars it’s competing against as it tries to get you to spend your money buying or leasing.

Our editors drive and live with a given vehicle. We ask all the right questions about the interior, the exterior, the engine and powertrain, the ride and handling, the features, the comfort, and of course, about the price. Does it serve the purpose for which it was built? (Whether that purpose is commuting efficiently to and from work in the city, keeping your family safe, making you feel like you’ve made it to the top — or that you’re on your way — or making you feel like you’ve finally found just the right partner for your lifestyle.)

We take each vehicle we test through the mundane — parking, lane-changing, backing up, cargo space and loading — as well as the essential — acceleration, braking, handling, interior quiet and comfort, build quality, materials quality, reliability.

2023 Mitsubishi Outlander Specs: Performance, Efficiency, & Towing

The full spec sheet has yet to be released, but using the 2022 model as a reference, we expect great power, competitive MPGs, and a satisfying drive from the 2023 Mitsubishi Outlander.

In particular, the currently-available new Mitsubishi Outlander SUV drives on with a smooth CVT transmission and a standard 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine, making 181 horsepower and 181 pound-feet of torque. Super All-Wheel Control (S-AWC) is available, adding innovative enhancements like Active Yaw Control (AYC) that intelligently manage power and braking force distribution to realize precision handling that'll inspire confidence through any weather or road conditions.

The 2023 Mitsubishi Outlander should build on all this while offering equally-attractive MPGs. We do know, however, that the official 2023 Mitsubishi Outlander MPG ratings are an EPA-estimated 2WD fuel economy of 24/31 MPG (city/highway).1

As for towing, the 2022 Outlander could tow up to 2,000 pounds2 when properly equipped, and we expect the 2023 Mitsubishi Outlander towing capacity to stay at this same superbly-practical rating.

We expect the 2023 Mitsubishi Outlander to build on all this while still offering desirable standard features like Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™, dual-zone auto climate control, a 7-inch gauge cluster multi-info display, and an 8-inch infotainment display.

You'll be able to fit seven occupants in this new three-row SUV.

A standard blind-spot monitor with lane-change assistance. Forward collision mitigation. Automatic emergency braking, and many more.

The 2023 Mitsubishi Outlander will be a spacious and confident ride. We expect 125.5 cubic feet of passenger volume, 79.7 cubic feet of maximum cargo volume, and roomy measurements like 41.7-inches of front and 39.9-inches of second-row legroom.
