FRANKLIN, Tenn., March 15, 2022 – The Mitsubishi Outlander Sport – which ranked in the top three in the 2021 JD Power Initial Quality Study in the small SUV class – builds upon a solid and proven foundation, adding new interior materials and convenience features for 2022.

Updates for the new model year include the addition of upgraded seating material with synthetic leather and suede seating surfaces, previously only available on top-trim GT models, now on SE. GT models now offer genuine leather seating surfaces as standard equipment and add a four-way power-adjustable driver's seat. LE and up models receive two USB plugs for rear-seat passengers, including a USB-A and USB-C receptacle.

Advanced Safety Features
All 2022 Outlander Sport models feature the following standard safety equipment across all trim levels: Forward Collision Mitigation, Lane Departure Warning and Automatic High Beam. Additionally, buyers of ES trim-levels and above will receive rain sensing windshield wipers, auto dimming mirror, and automatic headlights as standard equipment.

• Forward Collision Mitigation – helps prevent a frontal collision or reduces the severity of that collision if it becomes unavoidable, detecting both vehicles and pedestrians via camera and radar.
• Lane Departure Warning – uses an onboard camera to monitor lane position in front of the vehicle, audibly and visually alerting the driver if it detects the vehicle unintentionally leaving its lane.
• Automatic High Beam – automatically adjusts headlights between brightness levels depending on the surrounding lights.

From the chassis on up, the Mitsubishi Outlander Sport was designed with safety in mind. Outlander Sport uses the brand's Reinforced Impact Safety Evolution (RISE) body structure to enhance passenger safety. RISE is designed to improve impact safety from all directions by utilizing a high-rigidity body and crush zones that progressively crumple to help dissipate collision energy.

Working to keep occupants safer during collisions is a comprehensive seven-airbag supplementary restraint system, which includes side, curtain, and driver's knee airbags. The driver's knee airbag helps to control the driver's posture in a frontal impact, reducing the risk of greater injury to the legs during a frontal collision. Front seats feature seatbelt pretensioners that secure occupants during collisions, and force-limiters that gently release the belt an instant after an impact to minimize the risk of belt-related injury.

Signature Dynamic Design
This dynamic Mitsubishi CUV is distinguished by its wedge profile with strong character and high beltline, a forward-raked rear window, a sharply cut rear gate and short overhang, and broad fenders.

In the front, the authoritative black radiator grille projects strength and solidity, embodying Mitsubishi's signature Dynamic Shield design. SE, GT and Special Edition models are equipped with heated side mirrors, in-mirror turn-signal repeaters and automatic power-folding side mirrors.

The rear design is distinguished by upright styling, centered around the high-mounted, T-shaped rear lamps, producing a strong shoulder line and contributing to an overall sense of strength and ruggedness.

Sleek, Sporty Interior
On the inside, the 2022 Outlander Sport boasts high-quality fabrics, along with gloss black and silver-painted HVAC controls. The horizontal dashboard, silver metal frames and black/silver color scheme create a refined interior that is both sleek and sporty. Covering the dashboard surfaces and extending to the door trim is a stylish, grained soft padding that gives a premium look and feel.

From the available One-Touch Start System to available leather-wrapped steering wheel and gearshift (SE and above trims), the Outlander Sport puts adventure within reach. Keeping efficiency in mind, the instrument display features an ECO driver indicator light.
Maximizing luggage space and utility without compromising exterior style, the rear seat utilizes a 60:40 split section to enhance convenience.

Increased Connectivity
For the 2022 Outlander Sport, a second generation 8.0-inch Smartphone-link Display Audio (SDA) unit with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility is standard on the LE, SE, GT and Special Edition trims, while lower trims feature a 7-inch Display Audio System.

All Outlander Sport models are well-equipped, including standard automatic climate control. SE and above trims also receive rain-sensing windshield wipers and the keyless FAST-Key Passive-entry system. It's as simple as one push to unlock the driver door handle and two pushes on the handle for the others.

Powertrain, Performance and Fuel Economy
Under the hood, base Outlander Sport models feature a Mitsubishi Innovative Valve Timing Electronic Control system (MIVEC)-equipped cast-aluminum 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine, which produces 148hp at 6,000rpm and 145 lb.-ft. of torque at 4,200rpm.

Top-trim GT models are powered by a larger displacement 2.4-liter MIVEC 4-cylinder engine that produces 20 additional horsepower (168 bhp), versus the standard 2.0-liter, as well as 167 lb.-ft. of torque.
The seven-step Sportronic™ CVT continuously variable transmission is fitted as standard equipment. Mitsubishi engineers have spent countless development hours optimizing the CVT transmission's shift patterns and gear ratios, as well as reducing friction within its hydraulic oil control for greater fuel economy. The CVT's manual gear shifting Sport mode can be selected with the shift lever.

All-Wheel Control (AWC)
Building upon Mitsubishi's long and successful history of off-road performance, the electronically controlled All-Wheel Control (AWC) AWD system is available, starting with the ES trim. AWC provides increased handling, traction, and stability during varied driving or weather situations. The compact design of the AWC system also calls for low viscosity transfer case oil for reduced friction and automatically switches between 2WD and AWD modes, improving fuel efficiency.

Fun to Drive
With its low curb weight, compact mobility, and available electronically controlled AWC, the compact crossover also features a fun-to-drive handling balance that resonates with active CUV buyers. Designed to be nimble and swift both on-road and off-road, the vehicle combines outstanding ground clearance with a tuned MacPherson strut front suspension and multi-link rear suspension design. Lightweight suspension components and front and rear sway bars are just a few elements of a suspension that has been tuned for better agility, limited body roll and optimized ride comfort. Four-wheel independent gas-charged shock absorbers and coil springs are used at all four corners.

Standard on all models are the driver assist aids Active Stability Control (ASC) and Hill Start Assist. Making for a more controlled and pleasant driving experience through many situations, ASC helps ensure stability in slippery driving conditions and helps maintain control after sudden driving inputs. ASC also features traction control to minimize wheel spin, allowing for worry-free take-offs and increased grip in low traction conditions. Hill Start Assist uses front and rear gravity sensors to detect steep hills or gradients and applies brake pressure to deter the vehicle from rolling backwards, making for easier starts.

Innovative Fuel Economy
Outlander Sport is designed from the outset with efficiency in mind. The choice of Electric Power Steering (EPS) eliminates the parasitic engine drag found in conventional hydraulic power steering systems, providing improved response and driver feedback, and increasing fuel economy.

Aerodynamics, EPS, low curb weight, and efficient engine and transmission technology all work together to achieve 23 MPG (city) and 29 MPG (highway) for a combined rating of 26 MPG in both 2WD and AWC configurations. The 2.4L engine returns 23 MPG (city) and 25 MPG (highway) in its standard AWC configuration.

Smart-Sized Packaging
This impressive crossover merges the Outlander family's impressive real-world capability with a smaller, more maneuverable urban package. Designed to fit with a wide range of active lifestyles, the vehicle features the easy entry, exit, and turning radius of a smaller vehicle, yet also the higher sightline and interior volume of a CUV.

Personalized Accessories
Realizing the desire of hip and stylish urban buyers to customize their crossover, Mitsubishi has announced a number of optional customization packages:

• The All-Weather Package features quality rubber floor mats and cargo tray.
• The Exterior Trim Package comes in two versions with black rear and front undercovers featuring either red or chrome accents.
• The Illumination Package includes interior LED bulb upgrades, plus the addition of a rear tailgate hatch LED light.
• The Popular Value Package features aluminum and leather shift knob, rear bumper protector, cargo mat, and roadside kit.
• The Protection Value Package includes the rear bumper protector, mud guards for front and rear, door entry scuff plates, and roadside kit.
• Additional accessory options include black lug nuts and wheel locks, body graphics, carbon grille, hood protector, roof rack crossbars, spoiler, cargo nets, floor illumination and tonneau cover.

With so many options and customization choices, the Mitsubishi Outlander Sport is designed to fit with nearly any owner and active lifestyle.
