Expert Reviews

Expert reviews: 

The 2022 Outlander is all-new and introduces another generation of Mitsubishi's compact crossover. Mitsubishi has also announced that the PHEV version will arrive in 2022, possibly as a 2023 model. Along with more battery capacity and a larger electric motor than its predecessor from the previous generation, the Outlander with a plug will now be compatible with a third row, which wasn't available before.

Pros
Handling is unexpectedly satisfying,
elegant cabin with modern features,
exterior styling that stands out.

Cons
Powertrain is a liability at highway speeds,
might as well not have a third row,
needs better value to usurp top rivals.

For 2020, Kia tweaks the Sportage's already bold styling and adds more standard and optional features. While the exterior revisions aren't transformative, they give the Sportage a fresher and more assertive look than the previous year. Along with a new S trim level and different wheel designs, the interior receives some new content. Upgraded leatherette seats and wireless charging are now optional. Likewise, every cabin features an 8.0-inch touchscreen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto capability as well as an updated steering wheel and air-vent surrounds. The Sportage also adds more driver assists that include automatic high-beam headlights, adaptive cruise control with stop-and-go technology, driver-attention warning, pedestrian detection, and lane-keeping assist.
