Built for the Big Country: 2026 Outlander Sport Dimensions & Capability



The 2026 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport delivers 8.5 inches of standard ground clearance and a class-competitive 17.4-foot turning radius, with no off-road package required.

That combination makes it unusually capable for West Texas drivers who need the same vehicle to clear a rutted backroad and slip into a tight parking spot at the Abilene Mall.

Below you'll find every exterior, interior, and cargo dimension for the 2026 Outlander Sport, plus what those numbers actually mean on Abilene roads. Check current inventory at Arrow Mitsubishi.

Wheelbase 105.1 inches
Overall Length 171.9 inches
Overall Width 71.3 inches
Approach Angle 19.0 degrees
Departure Angle 30.0 degrees
Turning Radius 17.4 feet

Mechanical Agility: The 17.4-Foot Advantage

A standout technical feature of the 2026 Outlander Sport is its turning radius. At just 17.4 feet, it possesses one of the tightest turning circles in its class. This is achieved through a optimized steering rack ratio and a compact wheelbase. For the driver, this translates to effortless U-turns on Pine Street and simplified maneuvering in crowded parking lots. When combined with the standard All-Wheel Control (AWC) system, the vehicle remains exceptionally stable during high-speed lane changes or sudden evasive maneuvers.


Interior Capacity & Cargo Utility


While the exterior is compact for maneuverability, the interior is engineered for maximum volume efficiency. The "tall-boy" design language ensures that headroom remains generous even for taller West Texas drivers.

  • Front Headroom: 39.4 inches
  • Rear Legroom: 36.3 inches
  • Passenger Volume: 97.5 cubic feet
  • Cargo Volume (Seats Up): 21.7 cubic feet
  • Maximum Cargo Volume (Seats Down): 49.5 cubic feet

Technical Summary for the Abilene Driver
