The Mitsubishi Outlander Sport headlines when you want a small SUV that stands out for its style as much as its low price and respectable fuel economy. And since it’s a newer vehicle from a smaller manufacturer, the Outlander Sport stands out on the road and in parking lots.
Shop elsewhere if you need a compact SUV that has ample power for acceleration and towing. The choice of only one engine – and a not very powerful one at that – is the Outlander Sport’s Achilles heel. Its smaller size also limits passenger and cargo space compared with slightly roomier choices like the Honda CR-V, Kia Sportage and new Mazda CX-5.
