2027 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport: Trims, Specs & What's New
The 2027 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport adds a 2.4L MIVEC engine on the SEL trim, boosting output to 168 hp and 167 lb-ft of torque. That is a 20 hp gain over the standard 2.0L engine shared across every other trim. This page covers every trim, spec, and feature, with current inventory available at Arrow Mitsubishi in Abilene.
What's New for 2027
The headline change for 2027 is the 2.4L MIVEC DOHC engine reserved for the top-of-the-line SEL trim. It produces 168 hp at 6,000 rpm and 167 lb-ft of torque at 4,100 rpm, stepping up meaningfully from the 148 hp and 145 lb-ft delivered by the 2.0L engine on every other trim. The SEL also gets a power-adjustable driver seat, leather-appointed seating surfaces, an auto-dimming rearview mirror with HomeLink, and Blind Spot Warning with Lane Change Assist and Rear Cross Traffic Alert, making it the most complete package in the lineup.
The Ralliart and Trail Edition trims return as personality-driven alternatives below the SEL price point, each bringing distinct exterior treatments without crossing into the top-tier engine bay. All-Wheel Control (AWC) is available across the lineup, a feature that remains uncommon at this segment price point.
Trim Lineup
The 2027 Outlander Sport spans seven trim levels, each building on the one before it.
S
The entry-level trim runs a 7-inch display audio unit, automatic climate control, a rearview camera, LED headlights, LED tail lights, 16-inch steel wheels, and standard Forward Collision Mitigation with Pedestrian Detection. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are not included at this level.
ES
Moves up to the 8-inch Smartphone-Link Display Audio with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, adds 18-inch two-tone alloy wheels, LED fog lights, and dual front USB ports. All-Wheel Control is available on the ES as a drivetrain option. A meaningful step for anyone who relies on phone integration daily.
LE
Adds heated front seats, rear USB ports (Type-A and Type-C), steering wheel voice recognition, black-painted 18-inch alloys, black side mirrors, Micron Air Filtration, and a black seating surface with red stitching. The LE is the first trim with push-button start. A two-wheel-drive LE is offered alongside the AWC variant.
SE
Brings push-button start, FAST-Key entry, power-folding mirrors, 6-speaker audio, combination soft-touch seating surfaces, and Blind Spot Warning with Lane Change Assist and Rear Cross Traffic Alert. All-Wheel Control is available on the SE as a drivetrain option.
Ralliart
Carries the same 2.0L engine but distinguishes itself with Ralliart-specific front and rear lower trim, a rear spoiler, side graphics, Ralliart mudflaps, Ralliart floor mats, and a Ralliart Start-Stop switch. The interior gets black seating with red stitching and a red-stitched steering wheel, shift knob, and parking brake lever.
Trail Edition
Focuses on rugged protection with a hood protector, hood decal, fender effects, black mudflaps, black inner door handle protectors, Trail Package front, rear, and side protectors, and the same blacked-out exterior treatment as the Ralliart. It shares the 2.0L engine and AWC drivetrain.
SEL
The sole recipient of the 2.4L engine. It also gets leather-appointed seating, a power-adjustable driver seat, an auto-dimming mirror with HomeLink, 18-inch two-tone alloys, power-folding mirrors, push-button start, FAST-Key entry, and Blind Spot Warning with Rear Cross Traffic Alert. Six speakers round out the audio package.
Performance & Powertrain
All trims except the SEL use the 2.0L MIVEC DOHC 16-valve inline 4-cylinder (engine code 4B11), producing 148 hp at 6,000 rpm and 145 lb-ft of torque at 4,200 rpm. The SEL uses the 2.4L MIVEC DOHC 16-valve inline 4-cylinder (engine code 4B12), rated at 168 hp at 6,000 rpm and 167 lb-ft of torque at 4,100 rpm. Both engines pair with a CVT and run on regular unleaded gasoline.
All-Wheel Control is standard on the S, Ralliart, Trail Edition, and SEL trims, and available as an option on the ES, LE, and SE. Towing capacity reaches 1,500 lbs on properly equipped models.
Fuel economy on the 2.0L FWD trims reaches 24 city / 30 hwy / 27 combined mpg.
AWC-equipped 2.0L trims rate at 23 city / 29 hwy / 26 combined. The 2.4L SEL comes in at 23 city / 28 hwy / 25 combined mpg. The suspension uses a MacPherson strut front setup and a multi-link rear, both with stabilizer bars. Ground clearance sits at 8.5 inches, a useful number for the unpaved roads common outside Abilene.
Interior, Comfort & Cargo
The Outlander Sport seats five with 41.6 inches of front legroom and 36.3 inches in the rear. Front headroom measures 39.4 inches and rear headroom 37.9 inches, both numbers that accommodate taller passengers without forcing compromises. Shoulder room up front reaches 56.2 inches.
Cargo behind the second row measures 21.7 cu ft, and folding the 60:40 split rear seat opens that to 49.5 cu ft total. The 105.1-inch wheelbase keeps the vehicle maneuverable while still delivering that usable cargo floor.
Interior materials vary by trim. The S and ES use fabric seating. The LE introduces black seating surfaces with red stitching. The SE uses combination soft-touch surfaces. The Ralliart and Trail Edition return to the black-with-red-stitching treatment. The SEL receives leather-appointed seating, the only trim with that material in the lineup.
Heated front seats are standard from the LE upward. Automatic climate control is standard on every trim, as is a rear seat alert system.
Technology & Infotainment
The S trim uses a 7-inch Display Audio unit without smartphone integration. Every trim from the ES upward gets the 8-inch Smartphone-Link Display Audio with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto standard. Bluetooth connectivity, HD Radio, an AM/FM tuner, and steering wheel audio and phone controls are standard across all trims.
Rear USB ports (one Type-A and one Type-C) arrive on the LE and above. Front dual USB ports are standard from the ES upward. The S has a single front USB port. The SE and above gain steering wheel voice recognition control. The SEL adds an auto-dimming rearview mirror with HomeLink, the only trim to include that feature.
Drive Mode Selector is standard on every trim, and Micron Air Filtration is included throughout the lineup as well.
Safety & Driver Assistance
Every 2027 Outlander Sport includes seven airbags (advanced dual-stage front, front seat-mounted side, side curtain, and driver knee airbag), Forward Collision Mitigation with Pedestrian Detection, Lane Departure Warning, Active Stability Control, Hill Start Assist, ABS with Electronic Brakeforce Distribution and Brake Assist, Automatic High Beam, rear seat alert, and a rearview camera. RISE body construction is standard throughout.
Blind Spot Warning with Lane Change Assist and Rear Cross Traffic Alert is standard on the SE and SEL trims. It is not available on the S, ES, LE, Ralliart, or Trail Edition based on the verified specifications.
Warranty & Ownership Coverage
Mitsubishi backs the 2027 Outlander Sport with a 5-year / 60,000-mile basic warranty, a 10-year / 100,000-mile limited powertrain warranty, a 7-year / 100,000-mile anti-corrosion warranty, and 5-year / unlimited-mile roadside assistance.
Who It's For / vs the Prior Year
The 2027 Outlander Sport suits buyers who want available AWD, a proven warranty, and a sub-compact SUV footprint at an approachable position in the market. The addition of the 2.4L SEL gives power-conscious buyers a clear upgrade path without leaving the nameplate.
Compared to the prior model year, the most significant structural change is the availability of the 168 hp 2.4L engine, which had not been offered in recent production years on this vehicle. The Trail Edition and Ralliart trims continue to serve buyers who prioritize style and attitude over the additional displacement. Buyers in the Abilene area who drive unpaved ranch roads or gravel county routes will find the 8.5 inches of ground clearance and available AWC combination useful year-round.
