Mitsubishi accurately predicted a consumer trend toward smaller and more affordable crossover SUVs and introduced the Outlander Sport for the 2011 model year. At the time, the Outlander Sport had almost no competition, making it easy for the new model to appeal to people on a tight budget who wanted to get a new SUV. More than a decade later, nearly every automaker offers a rival to this Mitsubishi, making it harder for the Outlander Sport to stand out. However, it continues to provide a terrific warranty at a competitive price — two features highly prized by cost-conscious consumers.
