The 2024 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport is a budget-friendly, small all-wheel-drive SUV with a starting price in the mid $20,000s. It boasts an eye-catching, sporty exterior design and a generous list of standard features, including adaptive cruise control, automatic headlights, and automatic climate control. The subcompact SUV offers ample cargo space, beating competitors like the Mazda CX-30 in this regard. What sets it apart is an impressive 10-year/100,000-mile powertrain warranty, surpassing rivals like the Honda HR-V and Volkswagen Taos.

However, the Outlander Sport has some downsides. Its two available engines can get noisy under heavy acceleration, unlike the smoother power delivery in competitors like the CX-30 and Hyundai Venue. Some rivals offer a more comfortable ride, and its fuel efficiency is average, with better options available in the Kia Soul.

Despite these drawbacks, the Outlander Sport remains a compelling choice for those seeking an attractive, budget-friendly SUV with practical utility and an outstanding warranty. While some competitors may offer a more refined experience, the Mitsubishi Outlander Sport stands out for its appealing design, utility, and warranty coverage.  Aside from some trim name changes and a new Trail Edition styling package, the Outlander Sport rolls into 2024 unchanged.
