When shopping for a new Mitsubishi SUV in the Syracuse area, you may be wondering about the differences between the 2025 Mitsubishi Outlander and the smaller Outlander Sport. While these two models share some similarities, they also have some key differences that may make one a better fit for your needs. Here at Burdick Mitsubishi in Cicero, NY, we can help you explore the features of each model to determine which Mitsubishi SUV is the ideal choice for you.

Size and Passenger Space

One of the most notable differences between the Outlander and Outlander Sport is the size. The Outlander is a larger midsize SUV with three rows of seating to accommodate up to seven passengers. If you frequently need to carry several passengers around Syracuse, NY, the Outlander provides ample space. In contrast, the Outlander Sport is a compact crossover SUV with two rows and seating for five.

Cargo Capacity

With its larger size, the Outlander also offers more cargo space than the Outlander Sport. Behind the third row, the Outlander has room for groceries, backpacks, or sports gear. Fold down the second and third rows, and you can carry larger items like furniture or appliances. The Outlander Sport still provides a generous cargo hold for its compact size, however.

Engine Options and Performance

The Outlander comes standard with a 2.5-liter inline-four engine that generates 181 horsepower with an available 3.0-liter V6 with 255 horsepower. The Outlander Sport has a 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine with 148 horsepower standard, while a 168-horsepower 2.4-liter engine is optional.

Technology and Safety Features

Both the 2025 Outlander and Outlander Sport come equipped with modern technology and safety features to make every drive more enjoyable and secure. Each has an eight-inch touchscreen infotainment system with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone integration. You'll also get helpful driving aids like forward collision mitigation, lane departure warning, and blind-spot monitoring with rear cross-traffic alert.
