Mitsubishi Outlander Sport vs. Honda HR-V
The open roads around Oxford, PA, Landenberg, PA, and Elkton, MD are calling. What do you need to answer? An energetic and efficient subcompact SUV should do the trick. That’s why you’re getting a closer look at the Mitsubishi Outlander Sport and the Honda HR-V.
Our team at Jeff D'Ambrosio Mitsubishi is here to guide you to the ideal SUV, so let’s get rolling!
ALL-WHEEL DRIVE
HD RADIO®
TORQUE
Think about everywhere you take your SUV. It’s in the city, out on the highway, and back on dirt trails. That makes safety key to a comfortable ride. Luckily, both the Mitsubishi Outlander Sport and the Honda HR-V come with a bevy of smart safety features to keep you at ease.
Both SUVs are built using a frame specially engineered to absorb and redirect collision force away from the passenger cabin. The HR-V comes standard with the ACE™ (Advanced Compatibility Engineering™) Body Structure, while the Mitsubishi Outlander utilizes the RISE (Reinforced Impact Safety Evolution) Body Construction. Regardless of which model you choose, peace of mind is built right in.
The Mitsubishi Outlander Sport comes standard with an impressive lineup of standard safety systems. They include:
- Forward Collision Mitigation with Pedestrian Detection
- Lane Departure Warning
- Automatic High Beams
Thanks to Honda Sensing®, the HR-V offers a similar set of safety features.
The best subcompact SUVs look small on the outside while still providing a cavernous interior for your friends, family, and cargo. Both the Outlander Sport and the HR-V do exactly that. They also put plenty of technology at your fingertips to keep you connected on the move.
You’ll find seating for five in both models. They also provide right 39.4 inches of front headroom, so you’ll have plenty of room to stretch out. You can also enjoy automatic climate control in both models. It provides set-it-and-forget-it convenience, so you can enjoy your ideal temperature regardless of what Mother Nature has to say about it.
How about all that leather? That’s right, both the Mitsubishi Outlander Sport and the Honda HR-V can be outfitted with leather-trimmed seats as well as a leather-wrapped steering wheel and shift knob. That extra touch of luxury is sure to wow you every time you climb into the driver’s seat.
Apple CarPlay® and Android™ Auto—available with both models—give you the ability to sync your smartphone to the vehicle’s touchscreen for safe and easy access to your favorite tunes and apps. You’ll also have command over similar systems such as:
- Standard Bluetooth® Wireless Technology
- Standard 7-inch touchscreen
- Available SiriusXM®
The Outlander Sport expands your music options even further by providing standard HD Radio®, which has more than 2,000 stations across the U.S. To get HD Radio® in the HR-V, you’ll have to upgrade to the highest trim.
The safety features are set, and you’ve found your niche in the comfortable interior. Now, there’s only one thing left to do: start the engine and hit the gas! The question is, can the Mitsubishi Outlander Sport outperform the Honda HR-V?
Both SUVs come with an inline 4-cylinder engine and generate over 145 horsepower. When it comes to torque, the HR-V produces 138 lb-ft of torque. Meanwhile, the Outlander Sport generates 145 lb-ft of torque. So, what does this mean?
Torque impacts your vehicle’s ability to accelerate and tow. When properly equipped, the Outlander Sport can tow up to 2,000 pounds. On the other hand, the HR-V is not designed nor recommended for towing any amount.
How’s the weather? Slick streets can be a challenge during the daily drive. Both the Mitsubishi Outlander Sport and the Honda HR-V answer the call with all-wheel drive (AWD). Still, All-Wheel Control comes standard in the Outlander Sport, while Real Time AWD is only available in the HR-V with an upgrade.
While they have a number of similarities, the Mitsubishi Outlander Sport is the superior choice over the Honda HR-V. It provides more standard features for your drives through Oxford, PA, Landenberg, PA, and Elkton, MD.
