Mitsubishi has introduced the 2021 Outlander Sport, ahead of its launch in the United States next month. Starting at US$ 20,995, the 2021 Outlander Sport features additional standard safety equipment including automatic high beam headlights, lane departure warning and a forward collision mitigation system.
There’s also a new Limited Edition (LE)
variant which begins at US$ 23,995. The model is based on the ES trim and features
a black grille, black mirror caps and black 18-inch alloy wheels. The Limited
Edition also sports a modestly revised interior with red contrast stitching on
the seats, steering wheel, shifter and parking brake.
If that’s not special enough, the Black
Edition (BE) returns for 2021 with a handful of updates. It features unique air
dams, body side graphics and black 18-inch wheels with red accents. The
crossover also has black mirrors and door handles as well as an alloy fuel
door.
Rounding out the highlights is an 8-inch
infotainment system – with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay – that comes standard
on all trims except for the S and ES, which have a smaller 7-inch display. For 2021, ES and above trims also come
equipped with rain-sensing windshield wipers, an auto-dimming rearview mirror
and LED fog lights.
Engine options carryover and include a
2.0-liter four-cylinder that produces 148 hp and 197 Nm of torque. A 2.4-liter four-cylinder – with 168 hp and 226 Nm of torque – is also available, but it’s limited to the
range-topping Outlander Sport GT AWC which begins at US$ 26,995.
