The 2027 Outlander Sport 4WD is a straightforward small SUV choice for drivers who want four-wheel drive with a gasoline engine. Its 26 combined MPG rating offers a simple planning number, while the 23 city and 29 highway figures show how route type can change fuel use. EPA's $2,600 annual fuel estimate sets the expected yearly scale. It makes sense for buyers who value this drivetrain and body size and are comfortable budgeting for gasoline rather than chasing a lower fuel-cost figure.
What it is
The 2027 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport 4WD is a small sport utility vehicle running on gasoline. Its drivetrain is four-wheel drive, and its engine is a 2.0-liter four-cylinder paired with an automatic AV-S6 transmission.
Its defining EPA figure is 26 combined MPG. That combines the 23 MPG city rating and 29 MPG highway rating.
The numbers
Expect the rating to vary with the kind of driving you do. City trips are rated at 23 MPG, while highway travel is rated at 29 MPG. The combined 26 MPG figure is the practical starting point for mixed use.
The vehicle's tailpipe output is listed at 344 grams of CO2 per mile.
What it costs to run
EPA estimates annual gasoline spending at $2,600. Your actual bill will depend on how much you drive and how closely your use matches the city, highway, and combined ratings.
How it compares
Use 26 combined MPG as the single figure to line up against other small SUVs. Its 23 city and 29 highway ratings show the spread between urban and open-road driving. You can also browse fuel-efficient SUVs and other Mitsubishi cars using the same measures.
Who it suits
This Outlander Sport fits a driver who wants a gasoline SUV with four-wheel drive and an automatic transmission, while keeping a clear 26 MPG combined target for fuel planning.
It also suits shoppers who mainly need a small SUV and want separate city and highway estimates for their routine.
Trade-offs
The highway rating of 29 MPG is higher than the 23 MPG city rating, so frequent stop-and-go driving is likely to use more fuel than open-road travel under the EPA ratings.
Four-wheel drive and the gasoline powertrain define this model, while the $2,600 annual fuel estimate gives its running-cost scale.
Verdict
Choose this Mitsubishi when a small SUV body, four-wheel drive, and automatic operation matter more than minimizing gasoline use. The 26 MPG combined rating gives mixed driving a straightforward budget number, and the $2,600 annual estimate helps frame yearly fuel spending. Drivers who split time between city streets and highways can use the separate 23 and 29 MPG figures to set expectations. Compare those numbers with other SUVs before deciding whether this balance fits your regular routes.
