ANALYSISHow safe is the 2024 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport?
The 2024 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport holds its Safety Index at 91/100 Exceptional, matching the 2023 score exactly. That year-over-year stability is notable because it is earned, not inherited: the 2024 model achieves a perfect 20/20 defect-record score on the strength of zero recall campaigns, a component where many vehicles lose ground as they age into their second year on the market. The crash-protection sub-score of 61/70 reflects a vehicle that tested well across multiple axes, with the 5-star side result being the clearest highlight. The 17-percent rollover risk and No Tip dynamic result are the specific figures that underpin the 4-star rollover rating, providing more granularity than the star alone. A full 10/10 avoidance-tech score confirms that forward collision warning, lane departure warning, and electronic stability control are all standard equipment on this trim configuration. With only one unverified complaint on file, the 2024 model year presents an unusually quiet complaint record, though that low volume reflects the vehicle's relative newness in the used market rather than a long track record of owner feedback.
NCAP // CRASH TESTHow did the 2024 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport perform in crash tests?
The 2024 Outlander Sport achieved a 4 out of 5 stars overall safety rating from NHTSA. Its side-impact protection is particularly notable, earning a perfect 5-star rating.
