2014 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport: What's Changed?
Updates last year to Mitsubishi's best-selling model, the Outlander Sport, emphasized what was on the outside as well as under the hood. For 2014 the five-passenger crossover sports new tech and interior touches.
A new audio head unit comes on the ES trim level, while all models get a redesigned steering wheel with audio controls, and the SE trim gets HD Radio. A new engine balancer shaft is standard on all models with a continuously variable transmission, while all models receive improved sound insulation materials. New tech features include a 6.1-inch touch-screen with a backup camera on the SE trim; and a new navigation system with a 7-inch touch-screen, voice command, 3D mapping, point-of-interest info and real-time traffic with the SE Touring Package. The SE Touring Package also includes new black-leather seating.
In addition, the new SE Premium Package features a 710-watt Rockford Fosgate premium sound system with nine speakers, including a 10-inch subwoofer. The package also boasts a new power adjustable driver seat and an auto-dimming rearview mirror. In addition, the new LED Daytime Running Lamps Package bundles LED running lights with special front corner extensions.
The returning powertrain is a 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine good for 148 horsepower, 145 pounds-feet of torque and an estimated fuel economy of 24/31 mpg city/highway on the front-wheel-drive version with a continuously variable automatic transmission. The Outlander Sport is also available with all-wheel drive, as well as with a five-speed manual transmission.
Arriving at dealerships this week, the 2014 Outlander Sport increases in price by $300 across the ES and SE trim levels, starting at $20,295 (including an $825 destination charge). The SE with all-wheel drive and a continuously variable transmission starts at $24,820, including destination.
- Most significant changes: All models get improved sound insulation, while audio and tech features, as well as interior materials, are upgraded on different trim levels.
- Price change: $300 increase across ES and SE trims
- On sale: This week
- Which should you buy, 2013 or 2014? Upgrades to tech and comfort come at a nominal cost, making the 2014 the better value.

I'm kinda worried about the price continuing to climb, even though it is accompanied by additional options.
I feel like they are going to price it out of reach for many buyers. I bought my 2011 for $21,500 plus tax/title/licence. That was for an SE AWC.
Don't get me wrong, I love my car, but I don't think I'd be willing to pay an extra $3000 for it.

What I really want to know is if it's any quieter! They claimed to have reduced the noise for the 2013, but it's still plenty noisy to me! Though I haven't driven any of the ones prior to 2013.

Not only did I not know about this,,,, but I didn't even care.
What am I gonna do, take back the 2 month old 13 for the 14???
It's not like they dropped in a turbo or V6 option that's got a minimum of 275 HP. Heck I could make it a whole lot cooler for that $3000 spending it on my own tastes.

Do you really want those options? Because, correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't you all buy the Outlander Sport with the 2.0L 4-cylinder it has now? Even though those "dream" engines weren't available? And aren't all of you guys STILL driving it (In fact, as I recall, one member had his totaled and HE BOUGHT ANOTHER ONE!)? Out of ALL the small CUV's available in the US right now, and there are too many to count, you all picked the (according to you guys) the slowest, nosiest, thirstiest one of them all? Sounds like the problem isn't Mitsubishi, at all...
And where are y'all getting this $3,000 price increase from?!?! The price of an AWC SE DID NOT jump $3,000. Burton, just because your paid $21,500 does not mean that was that models MSRP (a 2011 SE AWC started at $23,845 BTW). That reflects a $975 difference spread over 3 model years, with $300 of that total being added just this model year!

ignore that? The model is selling well, but honestly if I wrecked mine today I would not even go test drive a new Outlander Sport with a 2.0L. It was what I wanted at the time, and yes, I'm happy with it, but the competition has upped their game and is stuck on stupid. It's pathetic. They have better engines, yet they are only offering the bottom of the barrel in the OS.I'm sorry I didn't look up what the MSRP was in 2011
. When shopping for mine every dealer I went to was right around $22k, so perhaps there were some incentives or something.Anyways, I'm glad you like your car. As I said, I like mine as well, but I stand by my opinion.
is foolish in not offering a better engine in this model. Just because those of us in this thread liked the OS better than the competition, doesn't mean that we are 100% satisfied with every single aspect of it.
