Mitsubishi Outlander Sport vs Honda CR-V: Trim Levels

When you’re picking out your next on-road companion, do you appreciate multiple options? When it comes to the Mitsubishi Outlander Sport and Honda CR-V, you’ll have many trim levels to choose from!

Starting off with the Outlander Sport, you’ll be able to find your next adventure vehicle with these six trims:

  • S
  • ES
  • LE
  • BE
  • SE
  • GT

On the other hand, you’ll have the choice of four trim levels in the Honda CR-V:

  • LX
  • EX
  • EX-L
  • Touring

Off the bat, you’ll notice that the Mitsubishi Outlander Sport offers two additional trim levels—this can benefit drivers who want more variety and want to configure their ideal SUV. With two fewer trim levels in the CR-V, you may have to weigh your options more to pick which one is truly made for you.

Mitsubishi Outlander Sport vs Honda CR-V: Capabilities

If you’re looking for an SUV to take you on a rainy-day ride or a sun-filled adventure, both the 2021 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport and Honda CR-V are more than capable. The quality of your adventure is where these two SUVs differ.

If you’re looking for an off-road adventure with lots of bumpy spots and rocky roads, the Mitsubishi Outlander Sport may be your best option because it offers 2-wheel drive (2WD) or an All-Wheel Control (AWC) option. AWC will help you traverse ditches and divots smoothly.

On the other hand, the Honda CR-V standardizes a 2WD system, but offers a Real Time All-Wheel Drive (AWD) with Intelligent Control Systemâ„¢. While AWD can greatly help travel over gravel, pebbles, or other rocky terrain, it may not benefit you while off-roading on trickier trails.

Tough Tackler

Alongside the Outlander Sport’s impressive drivetrain, it also beats out the Honda CR-V in ground clearance.

  • 2021 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport Ground Clearance: 8.5 inches 
  • 2021 Honda CR-V Ground Clearance: 7.8 inches

A higher ground clearance allows a vehicle to tackle bumpy roads without the worry of damaging its undercarriage. With that being said, we believe the Outlander Sport would be the best fit for your adventurous lifestyle.

Mitsubishi Outlander Sport vs Honda CR-V: Entertainment

When it comes to the cabin vibes of the Mitsubishi Outlander Sport and Honda CR-V, you can expect lots of fun and entertainment wherever you go, thanks to these features:

  • Bluetooth® wireless technology
  • 4-speaker audio systems
  • Available Apple CarPlay® and Android Autoâ„¢ integration

    However, if you’re looking for great usability and accessibility when toggling your favorite music, podcast, or audiobook, you may enjoy the Mitsubishi’s standard 7-inch display, compared to the Honda’s standard 5-inch display. A larger display offers greater visibility when out on the road.

Mitsubishi Outlander Sport vs Honda CR-V: The Verdict

Thanks to its extended trim levels, greater off-roading capabilities, and enhanced display features, our team believes the Mitsubishi Outlander Sport is the ideal SUV companion for your journeys around the Bay Area.
