Weekend excursions are made for the Mitsubishi Outlander Sport and the Ford Escape SUVs.

Mitsubishi Outlander Sport vs Ford Escape Trim Levels

If you’re searching for more variety, look through the six diverse trims of the Outlander Sport. You’ll have the S, ES, LE, BE, SE, and GT to choose from, so you have plenty of options when deciding which is the best for you. 

The Escape gives you four trims to consider—the S, SE, SEL, and Titanium—leaving you with fewer options.

Headed for the City by the Bay? Finding a parking space can be an adventure in itself. With the Mitsubishi, though, it’s compact enough to fit into more than a handful of spaces. It reaches 171.9 inches in length and stands at a height of 64.8 inches. The back-end spans 71.3 inches, so it can fit in more narrow spots, too.

The Ford extends to 180.5 inches in length, which is almost 10 inches longer. Additionally, it reaches a height of 66.1 inches. In the back, it spans 78.7 inches across, which is much wider than its rival.

Remember to bring your phone with you because you’ll be able to use it in the Mitsubishi with the help of Apple CarPlay® or Android Auto™. Unfortunately, this same feature is only optional in the three higher Ford trims.

To plug in your devices, the Mitsubishi and Ford offer multiple USB ports in the front rows

Gadgets like front rain-sensing wipers and heated power side mirrors appear in every Mitsubishi trim. You’ll be ready for rain or frost whenever it comes. The Ford only offers wipers like these in the highest trim level.

For the relentless morning fog, rely on the LED fog lights in every trim but the S in the Mitsubishi. To get the LED fog lamps in the Ford, they’re only available in one trim. The same goes for the auto-dimming rearview mirror that conveniently adjusts to the light outdoors. Mitsubishi has it in all six trims, while the Ford only carries this handy feature in one trim.

While both vehicles offer their version of all-wheel drive—Mitsubishi calls it All-Wheel Control—they start on different paths. The Mitsubishi provides 2WD, and the Ford offers FWD. That can make a difference in how your car tackles the road. 

When you want to customize your drive, the Mitsubishi lets standard Continuously Variable Transmission cater to your needs. With the Ford, you can add an 8-speed automatic transmission for your personalized drive.
