    The Outlander Sport, a mainstay of Mitsubishi's lineup since 2011, is a small SUV with seating up to 5. Exceeding the average MPG (miles per gallon) for its class, it reduces fuel costs and the carbon footprint. It handles mud, snow, and sand with ease with optional all-wheel drive (AWD). Mitsubishi offers a 5-year, 60,000-mile basic warranty, and a 10-year, 100,000-mile powertrain warranty on its lineup.

    The 2022 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport is below average compared to all vehicles.

    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 2022 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 2022 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 2022 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport is 8% more likely to result in a fatal accident. Compared to other suvs, the 2022 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport is 24% more likely to result in a fatal accident.

    Active safety features greatly enhance occupant safety by reducing the likelihood of a crash. The following active safety system is included even on lower trims/versions of the 2022 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport: Automatic Emergency Braking (AEB). Optional safety features on the 2022 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport which we recommend include Lane Departure Warning System and Blind Spot Monitoring.

    Another safety feature seems simpler but should still be considered. Optional side mirror turn signals can help when you don't see a vehicle in your blind spot, by alerting them to your intention to switch lanes, which allows the other driver to avoid an accident with you.

    And it is less safe than many comparable cars.
