It has awkward proportions, almost as though it has a nose too big for its face. But that doesn’t take away from the cuteness of the 2011 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport. From the seemingly twisted category of “cute utes,” Mitsubishi comes forth with one of their latest.
A capable hauler, it has pluses and minuses to be certain. Sit back as we cruise with one of the new breed in urban-assault grocery getters, this one from the maker of the Evo. What is it?
A four-adult, or two-adult, three child carrier, the Outlander Sport is a compact CUV that draws inspiration from the Evo Lancer, and according to Mitsubishi, adds some spice to an otherwise humdrum segment. Our vehicle for the week was the 2WD SE model, although it is available in an all-wheel-drive configuration as well.
Powered by the firm’s venerable four-banger, it might be the solution for some, but not all, types of buyers.
What’s it up against?
The Mitsubishi Outlander Sport comes up against some heavy hitters in the segment. Among them are Nissan’s glimmering siblings, the Juke and Rogue, the Kia Sportage, the MINI Countryman and then, at a slightly higher price point, the Honda CR-V and Toyota RAV4.
It is a rather stout segment, so if you wish to compete, you best bring your A–game.
Any breakthroughs?
Among the breakthroughs for the Mitsubishi Outlander Sport start with the price. Value pricing in this segment is a way to get market share, especially when some of your competitors skirt close to the edge of $30,000, or beyond.
All Outlander Sport models are equipped with standard features like remote keyless entry with a panic feature, halogen and S–HID headlights, Bluetooth hands-free communications, and audio systems with USB input and steering wheel mounted controls. Mitsubishi’s FUSE Hands free Link System even allows Bluetooth streaming audio from a smart phone or iPhone. Read the rest of this article here.
