The Mitsubishi Outlander Sport is now available at Mitsubishi Motors Menlyn in Pretoria, offering adventurers a compact SUV built for South Africa’s tougher terrains. Designed for those who enjoy urban roads but still want some off-road capability features, the Outlander Sport blends rugged capability with modern comfort, award-winning design, and cutting-edge technology.
Performance and Capability
Under the hood, the Outlander Sport boasts a 1.5-litre 16-valve DOHC engine, delivering 77kW at 6,000 rpm and 141Nm of torque at 4,000 rpm. Its Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT) ensures seamless acceleration, while a ground clearance of 222mm (without under cover) allows it to tackle rocky trails and off-road conditions effortlessly.
The Outlander Sport’s Active Stability Control (ASC), Hill Start Assist (HSA), and Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) provide enhanced traction and control, making it an ideal vehicle for adventurers seeking reliability and performance.
The vehicle is also equipped with four drive modes – Normal, Wet, Gravel, and Mud – allowing it to handle various road conditions and perform well in mild off-road situations, leveraging Mitsubishi’s expertise in off-road driving. Additionally, Active Yaw Control (AYC) improves stability by adjusting drive power between wheels, enhancing cornering ability on challenging roads.
Award-Winning Design and Engineering
The Mitsubishi Outlander Sport has received multiple international awards, recognising its innovative design and practical engineering:
- 2024 iF Design Award
- 2023 Good Design Award (Japan Institute of Design Promotion)
- VMARK Vietnam Design Award
- Best Compact SUV at ARABCOTY
These accolades affirm Mitsubishi’s commitment to producing vehicles that are both stylish and highly functional.
The Outlander Sport’s Dynamic Shield front face has evolved, now incorporating a bold, three-dimensional grille design, flanked by LED daytime running lights that create a striking T-shaped signature. Muscular fender flares add a sense of strength, while a floating roof design gives it a modern, aerodynamic silhouette. At the rear, T-shaped LED taillights enhance its sporty stance.
