The 2013 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport is slightly revised for this year with a new front facia and minor improvements to the interior. The Mitsubishi Outlander Sport is one of Mitsubishi’s top selling vehicles and it’s one of the products that’s keeping the automaker afloat in the United States.
The Outlander Sport comes standard with a 2.0L engine mated to a continuously variable transmission (CVT) for better fuel efficiency.
With 148 HP and only part time AWD the Mitsubishi Outlander Sport’s drive-train is set-up to sip fuel which usually means that a vehicle pretty slow @ 1 mile above sea level.
Just how slow?

Editor’s note: In North America, the Mitsubishi Outlander Sport represents Mitsubishi’s best foot forward next to the slow selling EVO and (extremely) long in tooth Lancer. That’s worrisome because, after the bankruptcy and subsequent removal of Suzuki automobiles in the USA, Mitsubishi looks to be next on the chopping block.
I hope not. Mitsubishi represents so many innovations, high performance and individuality, it would be a crying shame to see them depart our shores. Come on Mitsubishi, you can do better!
