Mitsubishi Outlander Sport vs Kia Sportage

As competitors within their class, the Mitsubishi Outlander Sport and the Kia Sportage carry several similarities. However, differences can help Daly City, San Francisco, and San Jose, California, shoppers pick a ride. Our Daly City Mitsubishi research team plucked out the differences to let drivers know which one edges out the competition.

Will My Car Fit Into Tight Spaces?

When you’re late for an appointment or a dinner date, you cannot quibble over parking spaces. A more compact SUV offers you the flexibility to fit into tighter spaces. The Mitsubishi reaches 171.9 inches in length and spans 71.3 inches across, so there may be a good chance of better parking.

If you drive the Kia Sportage, you may have to pass on small parking spaces. This SUV extends to 176.4 inches in length and stretches 73 inches in width.

Will My Car Fit Into Tight Spaces?

Are There Any Cabin Differences?

Similarities pile into the cabins of the Mitsubishi and Kia Sportage. Both offer available heated 6-way adjustable driver seats, so you can get into the best position for comfort and visibility.

To circulate air through individual cabins, though, which works better? In the Mitsubishi Outlander Sport, automatic climate control comes standard and immediately turns on to get to your desired temperature.

If you turn on the manual control system in the Kia Sportage, you need to twist the dial, wait to find the temperature you want, and then wait for it to get cool or warm inside.

Let’s look at the cabin dimensions now.

Dimensions
Mitsubishi
Kia
Rear Hip Room
51.6 inches
51.2 inches
Rear Shoulder Room
55.5 inches
55.1 inches


As you can see, these rear seat measurements come close, but the Mitsubishi still prevails against the Kia.

Which Connectivity Features Do You Get?

Again, these SUVs meet in the middle and rival each other in many areas. They both provide Apple CarPlay® or Android Auto™, so you can accept calls, download your music or podcast favorites, and use your navigation apps. To stream more music, both cars also give you Bluetooth® and available SiriusXM™ satellite radio.

View these choices and make your selection on your 8-inch display. Yes, the Mitsubishi supplies an 8-inch Smartphone Link Display Audio system, while the Kia Sportage gives you a comparable 8-inch touchscreen.

While you’re driving, you and your passengers may need to stay connected. For extra input for your devices, the Mitsubishi outfits your SUV with two available USB ports in the front. The Kia Sportage also offers USB ports, providing one in each row.

Which Handles the Rougher Roads?

Which Handles the Rougher Roads?

If you find yourself hitting uneven terrain, you’ll be happy to have the Mitsubishi. To start, it comes with 2WD, but you can swap that with available All-Wheel Control (AWC). Its 8.5-inch ground clearance comes in handy when you’re riding over rural roads to protect the undercarriage. 

The Kia Sportage uses front-wheel drive but can exchange that for the optional Dynamax™ All-Wheel Drive. Only 6.8 inches make up the ground clearance, so you’re going to need to be more careful on rockier roads.

Which Works Best? Mitsubishi Outlander Sport vs Kia Sportage

The Mitsubishi Outlander Sport and the Kia Sportage appear similar but do have differences. Consider your travels around Daly City, San Francisco, and San Jose, and see which set of wheels could work best for you. Don’t forget to schedule a test drive at Daly City Mitsubishi!
