    Comparison to all vehicles.  This plot shows RSC safety scores on the horizontal axis vs. the number of vehicles with each safety score (depicted by bar height and percentages at the bottom). Colors reflect vehicle safety, ranging from red (not that safe) to green (safer). For reference, a score of 0 implies a 0.15% chance of driver death (13% chance of driver injury) over 15 years, and a score of 100 reflects a 0.016% chance (1.4% chance of driver injury). The 2021 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport has a score of 74, implying a 0.05% chance of driver death (4.5% chance of injury).

    We estimate that the 2021 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport has a vehicle lifetime fatality chance of 0.0503% and a vehicle lifetime injury chance of 5.7436%, meaning the average driver has a 0.0503% chance of dying in an accident if they drive the car under regular conditions for fifteen years, and a 5.7436% chance of being injured.

    Compared to the average vehicle, the 2021 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport is 8% more likely to result in a fatal accident. Compared to other suvs, the 2021 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport is 24% more likely to result in a fatal accident.

    Active safety features can substantially reduce the risks of harm to vehicle occupants by preventing severe accidents.

Some safety features are optional on the 2021 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport--- although they add to the cost, one should consider the benefits of Lane Departure Warning System and Blind Spot Monitoring.

    Some safety technologies get a lot of press, but another may also improve safety. Optional side mirror turn signals alert others of your intention to turn or switch lanes allowing them to react accordingly, which can prevent accidents caused by not seeing a vehicle in the blind spot.
