 What is up you guys, we'll go back to another one. If you're new to the channel, I am Gold Pony, I do new car truck SUV reviews on YouTube and today we are in the brand new 2024 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport, courtesy of younger Mitsubishi in Hagerstown, Maryland for more information on their inventory. Please feel free to check out the link in the description box below. So today we're in this one because there are actually two big changes for the 2024 model year. One is to get America's best warranty being 5-year, 60,000 mile bumper to bumper, 10-years, 100,000 miles on the powertrain, but if you were to go with younger Mitsubishi in Hagerstown, Maryland, they actually double the powertrain warranty giving you a 20-year, 200,000 mile powertrain warranty which is pretty insane. Not only that, one of the big changes for the 2024 model year is you now get two years worth 30,000 miles of complimentary maintenance whereas with the 2023 you did not. So that's pretty cool. And you get a rally-inspired four-wheel drive system as well. Mitsubishi calls it all-wheel control, but we'll get more into that in the video. So ultimately in this video we will be testing out and going over everything about this one from acceleration to braking, steering feel, ride quality, sound system, exhaust clip, all that fun stuff. So having said all of that, what do you guys say? Let's just go ahead and jump right into it and, as always, let's start with bracing. As you can imagine, there are several different trim levels for the 2024 Outlander Sport. One being the S starting at $23,695 which is a $700 bump from the 2023 model year, but everything is getting bumped up for 2024 model years just because of inflation, of course. ES for $25,695, LE which is the trim we are in today, starting at $26,395, SE for $27,695, and lastly the SEL which is a new trim level for the Outlander Sport for 2024. It starts at $28,495, essentially what Mitsubishi did there is they eliminated the GT trim, which is what was in existence last year and they replaced it with the SEL, essentially to be a little more uniform with the rest of the Mitsubishi lineup because that's how the Outlander does it as well. But anyways, of course with all those trim levels there are a couple different power plants available for the Outlander Sport as well. First one belonging to all of the trim levels but the SEL and the one that we have today. It's powered by a 2 liter naturally aspirated inline 4 cylinder, putting out 148 horsepower at 6,000 RPM, 145 pound-feet of torque coming in at 4,200 RPM, power being sent to all four wheels again through Mitsubishi's rally inspired four wheel drive system which they call all wheel control. That power being sent to the ground through a CVT 0-60 time at approximately 8.7 seconds with MPG numbers coming in at 23 in the city, 29 on the highway taking regular unleaded fuel. And then there is that other engine configuration of course belonging to the SEL trim level. That one's powered by a 2.4 liter naturally aspirated inline 4 cylinder, 168 horsepower at 6,000 RPM, 167 pound-feet of torque coming in at 4,100 RPM, power sent to all four wheels yet again through a CVT, 0-60 time approximately 8 seconds flat for that one with MPG numbers coming in at 23 in the city, 28 on the highway taking regular unleaded fuel. So now that we've got all of that out of the way, what do you guys say? Let's go ahead and find a straightaway. Let's put that acceleration here to the test and let's see how quickly we can get our new 2024 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport here up to speed. All right, here's our straightaway in 3, 2, 1, go. Not the quickest thing in the world, does get noisy, but it's not bad. I don't mind the noise. Okay, so not the quickest thing in the world. When I initially hit the gas, I was expecting a little more punch, but yeah, I didn't get it unfortunately. So I'll just leave it at that. There is a more powerful engine with that SEL trim level, so perhaps that one would give you a little better merging power onto the highway, things like that, but ultimately the more you drive a vehicle, the more you get used to it, the more you learn how it operates. So you really shouldn't have any issues in merging onto the highway because you are going to get used to it, of course, but anyways, to go along with that acceleration as always, braking is equally important. So up front, you will find 11.6 inch ventilated front discs in the back, 11.9 inch solid rear discs. The 160 is your stopping distance goes, that comes in at an extremely impressive 118 feet. So as far as braking feel goes, it feels like it. I love it, man. Miss Abishi crushed it with the braking feel in this thing, 118 feet, by the way, that is a sports sedan number. Typically with SUVs, you find like 125. If not the 130s, like the Hyundai Santa Fe is 132, I think it is. The Volkswagen Atlas is 139, so 118 feet, that's like a sports sedan number right there. So that is absolutely amazing. And you could feel that with the firmer braking feel on this thing. So well done, Miss Abishi. I absolutely love the braking feel in this thing. But touching on suspension and handling, up front, you're going to get a McPherson strut front suspension. In the back, independent multi-link rear suspension, of course, front and rear stabilizer bars. As far as ride quality goes, we got some freaking smooth roads here in Hagerstown. So absolutely no issues there. As far as steering feel goes, it's on the looser side of things, 100%. So definitely wouldn't have minded if Miss Abishi firmed up that steering feel or better yet, if Miss Abishi allowed a sport driving mode on the Miss Abishi Outlander Sport. Hence the name. So would have loved to have seen that to at least firm up the steering feel a little bit. Also with the acceleration, I think with a name like Outlander Sport and with the rally-inspired four-wheel drive system, they should definitely put a little more effort into making the Outlander Sport a little more sporty since they have the word in the name. But see, I guess what I'm getting at is wouldn't have minded a little bit firmer of a steering feel in this thing. As far as cabin noise goes, it definitely gets a bit noisy, not only with the acceleration but with the road noise as well. So I did notice that first thing when I was driving, it is a little bit noisier for vehicle, but that's to be expected in this particular vehicle. So I personally wouldn't have any issues. I'll just put it that way. Touching of visibility, I can see perfectly fine out the back in terms of rear visibility at least. So 100% not going to have any issues there. And one better in terms of forward visibility, Miss Abishi actually gives you rain-sensing windshield wipers coming standard on every single trim level of the Outlander Sport. It didn't used to be that way. So you got to love that. So essentially what that is is whenever the Outlander Sport detects any kind of mist or rainfall, it's going to automatically turn on this windshield wipers for you. So just one last thing you've got to worry about, kind of like automatic headlights assisting with forward visibility. So you could better enjoy the drive in this thing. But that pretty much rounds out the performance segment of this review. So guys, let's now go ahead and take a look at the exterior of our brand new 2024 Miss Abishi Outlander Sport. All right. So here she is, you guys, the new 2024 Miss Abishi Outlander Sport finished in Mercury Gray Metallic. In case you were curious of our exact exterior color name that we had on this one. As always, let's go ahead and start with where this one is made. Take a look at the bin. First character is the letter J indicating that the Outlander Sport is still built and assembled in Japan. That's pretty cool. Let's go ahead and start up front in this one. Full LED headlights do come standard for every single trim level across the board, meaning both low beam and high beam. So I do love that. LED daytime running lights coming standard as well, along with the automatic feature, meaning when it starts to get dark in at night, headlights will turn on automatically for you there. But you also get automatic high beams coming standard for every single trim level across the board. So if you have your high beams on at night and it senses the vehicle coming in the opposite direction, it's going to automatically dim them back to low beams and when that vehicle is gone, it's going to automatically bounce it back up to high beams for you there. So love that feature. LED fog lights for the ES trim level and up. You guys can see those as well. And then there is going to be some chrome trim accenting found kind of just surrounding the headlights and the front grille up front as well. But my personal opinion, it looks good, but I think the Outlander Sport is due for a redesign in my personal opinion. Let me know what you guys think in the comments, but there are pretty much rounds out the front end. Listen, I'll go ahead and make our way to the side. All right, so now since we are around to the side of this one, if you were looking for black roof rails, you do have to go with the SEL trim level. So only that top trim is going to give you roof rails up top, but black windows arounds do come standard rear privacy glass coming standard for all trim levels across the board as well. Taking a look at the front fenders there, there's either going to be chrome or gloss black accents on the front fenders. We have the gloss black accents because the LE, in case I didn't tell you guys already, it's kind of like the sport appearance package. So you do have the black accents pretty much throughout and LE, by the way, stands for limited edition. Also didn't mention that yet, but take a look at the side mirrors. They're going to be body colored or gloss black, of course, gloss black for the LE trim level, and they will be heated then as well. No integrated turn signals because they are located down on the front fenders. I actually love that. That's a JDM thing, Japanese domestic market. So big fan of that. Take a look at the wheel setup, 16 inch steel wheels with covers for the S trim level, 18 inch two toned alloys for the ES, SE, and SEL trims, and then 18 inch black painted alloys for our LE trim level that we have with us here today. So overall, that pretty much rounds out the side profile here. Let's not go ahead and make our way to the back. All right, so now since you are around to the back of this one all the way to the top, you will find a body colored shark fin antenna. Just below that rear spoiler with an integrated brake light. Just below that rear window wiper. If you guys take a look at that rear window, you're going to find that four wheel drive badging. That is because Mitsubishi's all wheel control system is actually a four wheel drive system. So again, originally bred for rally racing in the dirt and snow. So it's definitely going to hold up quite nicely here in the snow, at least in Hagerstown. But LED tail lights actually do come standard for all trim levels across the board as well. You do have the trim level badging back there. You guys can see the limited edition badging found on a rear tailgate. Just below it all, there is going to be a single exhaust outlet tucked away. So having said that, I do believe you guys know what we have to do next here. As always, here is that exhaust clip. I had something else to say around to the back of the Outlander Sport. When it comes to opening that rear tailgate, it is going to be a manual tailgate for all trim levels across the board. So once opened up, though, cargo capacity comes in at 21.7 cubic feet. If that was not enough space, of course, the rear seats do fold down, bumping that up to 49.5 cubic feet. There is some cargo lighting back there. There is a cargo cover available that goes for $205. It's going to be tie down anchors back there. There is one grocery bag hook kind of found on the driver's side in the back there. Cargo nets are going to be available. Of course, there is some indented storage found on the back two corners. Then if you were to lift up underneath of that cargo floor, you are going to find a spare tire as opposed to the fixer flat, which I personally prefer. But then make your way up to the rear leg room that comes in at 36.3 inches for reference. I mean, even six feet tall. This is me sitting behind my own driving position here. Rear center armrest with cup holders does come standard for all trim levels. I got to love that dual rear USB charging ports, though, coming with the L E trim that we have today end up. So that's how you're going to go ahead and get that. But the maker way up to the front seats, manually adjustable claw seating for the SES and L E trims, heat of front seats for the L E trim level end up, leather seating for the SEL trim level only. And then there's going to be a leather suede combination for the S E trim level. Overall, at least in our L E trim that we have today, seating was OK. Not the very most comfortable seats. There are some awkward pressure points and the kind of stiff too, for whatever reason. Miss Abishi does that, I know with their Mirage as well. So not the most comfortable seats, but it should be enough to get by. But then taking a look at the steering wheel and telescoping, it is going to be leather wrapped for the L E trim level enough that we have today. And I like the gloss black finish towards the bottom of the steering wheel as well. The maker way to the startup. Let me start by showing you guys the key here. You got your Miss Abishi logo on the one sign. When you flip it over, lock unlock, pretty basic key for the most part, which means if you lose it in Ocean City, Maryland, it's going to be less expensive to replace, haven't done that before. But it is a push button start for the S E and S E L trims. But in our case, all I'm going to do here is simply put my foot on the brake and turn the key. And so once started up when it comes to the gauges, tachometers all the way to your left speedometer is on your right. There is a small digital to screen front and center. That screen is going to give you things like trip A, trip B. There's your outside temperature. How many miles you have left to take it to FTM? My very favorite part about the digital screen, at least, is when you turn the car off, it's going to say, see you. That's such a Japanese thing to say. So I absolutely love it. But now let's go ahead and make our way to overall interior quality. All the dimming rear view mirror actually come standard for all trim levels across the board. That is wonderful. Usually only find that on the upper trim levels for some of the competition. So I love that because there are some bright lights out there these days. But helmet controls for the SEL trim level only automatic climate control coming standard for all trim levels across the board. That's pretty cool. Just in front of the shifter, you do have a little bit of rubberized storage. I love the design surrounding the shifter. It's kind of this texturized silver finish. You got the four wheel drive button as well, just in front of the shifter. Just behind the shifter, a couple cup holders and within the center armrest. It's actually a decent amount of storage in there. So I don't have any issues there. 12 volt power outlet as well. Overall, as far as interior quality goes, lots of black plastics for the most part. That's to be expected. But like I said, I do love how they finished everything in silver with the texturized design surrounding the shifter. A lot of the competition will figure will finish that in like a matte black or matte gray plastic. So they did a little bit of a design to it there. But now let's go ahead and make our way to the infotainment screen here. Seven inch color touch screen display for the S and ES trims and then an eight inch color touchscreen display for the L.E. trim level and up. Either way, you still get Bluetooth and audio streaming. But the Android Auto Apple CarPlay that is going to come standard on the L.E. trim level and up only. So I want to specify that because that's pretty important to a lot of people being that the navigation is going to be displayed up there if you have a cell phone with data, of course. So that's what I want to emphasize. But can, of course, check out your radio information up there as well. And so when it comes to the sound systems, there are two of them. Four speakers is going to come on the SES and L.E. trims and then six speakers for the S.E. and S.E.L. So having said that, that, of course, means that we do have the four speaker sound system with this here today. So let's go ahead and turn on the radio, see what we got playing today. And let's test out the clarity of this one. Yeah, it sounded like four speakers, to be honest. The clarity wasn't that great. The bass was actually OK for four speakers. I didn't have a problem with that. I'm seeing as it's four speaker sound system. But yeah, the clarity wasn't there, but that's to be expected in a four speaker sound system after all. But anyways, last thing I want to mention to you guys on the infotainment screen, at least, is when you do put the Outlander Sport in reverse, you will find a review camera coming standard across the board. Not the very highest quality, but it'll certainly get the job done. Letting you know who or what is behind you, which is always, is going to lead us into safety. And so front side, side, crew, and airbags do come standard. Drivers near back up front as well. In the back, you're going to have latch, AKA lower anchors to tethers to children for the rear car seats, rear child door locks, temperature monitoring system, but also coming standard. Forward collision mitigation system with pedestrian detection and lane departure warning as well. Then if you were to go with the SE or SE L trims, they are going to add to that a blind spot monitoring system with rear cross traffic alert and then lane changes assist as well. So overall, I want to custom my final thoughts here of the Outlander Sport. I got to love the rally inspired four wheel drive system, especially because we do get quite a bit of snow here in Hagerstown. So if you got snow or if you're driving a lot of dirt roads, this thing's got you covered. Also, amazing braking in the Outlander Sport didn't expect that 60 zero and 118 feet. That's a brilliant number, very firm braking feel. So immediately brings you to a stop. You do get America's best warranty as well. So you get a ton of peace of mind. Not to mention the younger Mitsubishi warranty. If you were to actually go to Hagerstown and get one of these 20 year, 200,000 miles. By that time, you're going to want a new car anyways, but I do love the LED lighting as standard, not just in the front, but in the back as well. As far as room for improvement goes, very basic sound system for speakers is really nothing these days. Also, I do think it's due for kind of a redesign. They've had this style for quite a bit now. And then the last thing as far as room for improvement goes, I think it needs a little more sportiness since it does call itself the Outlander Sport. Would have loved to have seen a heavier steering feel and also a little more power. Maybe the SEL is going to compensate for our lack of power in our current trim level that we have today, but I don't know, I will say though, it's pretty slow. But anyways, let me know what you guys think of the Outlander Sport in the comments section below. That is about it for this one, you guys. Thank you so much for watching.
