Trying to decide between a 2024 or a 2025 Outlander Sport? At first glance, they look similar, but is the upgrade worth it? That’s what we’re here to find out. We’ll be taking a look at some of the key areas to decide if newer is better, or if you should go with a lower priced 2024 model.
Key takeaways
- Both model years are relatively the same, and with the 2025 not having a price that is too much more, it comes down to preference.
- The 2024 model does come with two trims that aren’t available in 2025, making that one of the reasons to go with a 2024.
- Due to both models having the same engine, you can expect the same mileage.
What’s new for 2025: Not much.
When looking at the 2025 model, not much has changed. This is due to 2024 having brought some larger changes to the model in recent years.
The 2024 model brought the Trail Edition that came with special graphics on the hood, as well as adding some unique black accents on the exterior. While this was dropped for 2025, it was a standout from 2024. But other than that, the Outlander Sport has remained mostly the same.
Which has a better price: 2024, but not by much.
When looking at the two lineups, the prices that you find are very similar. For the 2024 lineup, you can find these prices:
- 2.0 S starting at $23,695
- 2.0 ES starting at $25,695
- 2.0 LE starting at $26,660
- 2.0 SE starting at $27,695
- 2.4 SEL starting at $28,495
- 2.0 Trail Edition starting at $28,750
- 2.0 Ralliart starting at $28,295.
For the 2025 lineup, you can find these trims and prices:
- 2.0 S starting at $23,745
- 2.0 ES starting at $25,745
- 2.0 LE starting at $26,710
- 2.0 SE starting at $27,745
- 2.4 SEL starting at $28,545
When looking at the lineup, the prices are close, but you’ll also find that two trims are missing for 2025. Taking a look at the Trail Edition, this comes with all-wheel control, 18-inch black alloy wheels, a leather wrapped steering wheel, and black seats, with red stitching.
The other trims is the Ralliart, this also came with 18-inch black alloy wheels, as well as unique side graphics, spoiler, mud flaps, floor mats, as well as a FAST-Key entry system.
Some features that you can find on both models are a 7-inch infotainment system for the base trim, while every other trim comes with an 8-inch screen. Both coming with phone connectivity.
The rest of the interior remains the same as well, basically being a complete carryover, which isn’t necessarily a bad thing.
What is the mileage on the Outlander Sport?
Being that the Outlander Sport shares the same engines for both years, the fuel economy is the same. For 2025, the 2.0L has 26 MPG combined, while the 2.4L has 25 MPG combined. The numbers for 2024 are the same on the 2.0L, and the 2.4L.
No matter which year you get, you're going to get some great mileage, making either one of them a good choice.
Is the 2025 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport worth upgrading?
If you’re wanting something that is newer, then yes, it is worth it. But if you’re wanting something with a bit more options, then you should look for a 2024 model as it comes with two other trims.
