Built for the Big Country: 2026 Outlander Sport Dimensions & Capability
In West Texas, an SUV must be as comfortable navigating a narrow parking spot at the Abilene Mall as it is clearing a rutted path on a backroad. The 2026 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport is engineered with a specific technical geometry designed to maximize both off-road clearance and urban maneuverability.
Exterior Dimensions and Trail Geometry
The most critical technical specification for local drivers is the standard ground clearance. Unlike many rivals that require expensive off-road packages to achieve height, every Outlander Sport comes from the factory with the clearance needed for the "Big Country" terrain.
| Exterior Specification | Measurement |
|---|---|
| Ground Clearance | 8.5 inches |
| 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.

Technical Summary for the Abilene Driver
The 8.5 inches of ground clearance is not just a number; it is a mechanical insurance policy against road debris and unpredictable weather. Whether you are dealing with flash flooding or unpaved driveways, the technical profile of the 2026 Outlander Sport ensures you have the physical clearance and the steering precision to navigate with confidence.
