In your dynamic world, where maneuverability and practicality are key, the Mitsubishi Outlander Sport stands out with its compact dimensions. At 171.9 inches long and 71.3 inches wide, it’s crafted for easy navigation through tight city streets, crowded parking lots, and community parks during soccer tournaments.

While still on the smaller side of SUVs, the Subaru Forester has a more substantial build. It measures 182.7 inches long and 71.5 inches wide, which can make it less nimble in certain environments.

Ultimately, the Outlander Sport's smaller footprint offers the versatility needed to tackle both professional and personal demands.

Drivers with an adventurous spirit will love the Outlander Sport and the Forester, which offer rugged trim levels to enhance your outdoor excursions. The Outlander Sport 2.0 Trail Edition and the Forester Wilderness come equipped with similar features, such as all-wheel drive, incline or decline assistance, and a hood protector that minimizes the glare from the sun.

While there are some similarities, it’s the Outlander Sport 2.0 Trail Edition that may better cater to your light off-roading needs thanks to features like:

• Mud flaps to keep the underside of your SUV clean.
• Air filtration system that helps prevent dirt entering the cabin.
• 18-inch wheels, which provide a higher vantage point than the Forester Wilderness.

The Outlander Sport 2.0 Trail Edition trim also comes with a 12V power outlet. Once you arrive at your remote destination, this outlet can power exterior lights, a small speaker system, or plenty of other small appliances to enhance your outdoor adventure.

In today’s interconnected world, staying entertained and informed on the go is essential. The Mitsubishi Outlander Sport and the Subaru Forester cater to this need with advanced entertainment and connectivity features. Each model can be outfitted with smartphone integration, allowing you to mirror your mobile device onto the optional 8-inch multimedia display with either SUV.

If you prefer to drive the base trim of either model, the Mitsubishi Outlander Sport has its advantage. This model comes standard with a 7-inch display and HD Radio®. With the base trim of the Subaru Forester, you’ll find a smaller display screen and will be without the high-definition radio.

Technology goes beyond entertainment. The engineers of the Mitsubishi Outlander Sport and the Subaru Forester understand this and equip these models with ample features to help elevate your driving experience. Each model comes outfitted with voice-recognition technology. This enables you to speak in a natural voice to make temperature requests, connect calls, and more, without needing to take your hands off the wheel.

On days when you’re running behind schedule, taking a few extra seconds to grab your keys to unlock your car can feel like hours. Instead of fumbling with the key fob, keep your keys in your purse or pocket and unlock your Outlander Sport or Forester with keyless entry.

However, only Outlander Sport drivers can perform this action on all trim levels.

The Mitsubishi Outlander Sport and the Subaru Forester prioritize comfort with features tailored to enhance your ride. Either model can feel as comfortable as lounging at home thanks to standard and available features like:

• Heated front seats
• Soft leather upholstery

While both vehicles come with comparable comfort features, the Outlander Sport sets itself apart with a standard auto-dimming rearview mirror. This mirror automatically reduces glare from headlights behind you, enhancing night driving safety and comfort. While standard on the Outlander Sport, this feature is only an optional accessory in the Forester.

You work hard. The Mitsubishi Outlander Sport and the Subaru Forester designers believe in enhancing the ease and enjoyment of your daily commute. This is seen through multiple convenience features found with both models.

You’ll find a selectable drive mode system with the Outlander Sport and the Forester. This allows you to adjust how your SUV feels and performs depending on your mood. While this feature comes standard with each model, only the Outlander Sport is equipped with an ECO Indicator.

Having an ECO Indicator enables you to make more fuel-efficient decisions when driving. This indicator will illuminate when you’re accelerating, braking, and generally handling your Outlander Sport in a way that optimizes fuel efficiency. This way, you can maximize the time between fill-ups.
