The 2019 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport is another year older and another step behind its competitors in every area but price.
Pros Cheap Inoffensive design Practical interior space Finally, more safety features
Cons Noisy engines Underwhelming power Mediocre fuel economy Lackluster quality
The 2019 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport packs a lot of features into a small and somewhat practical crossover body. It can make for a good value proposition, and Mitsubishi provides a pretty solid warranty, too. But this all assumes refinement, build quality and drivability don't feature too high on your list of must-haves.
PROS Well-equipped for the price Excellent warranty coverage surpasses that of many rivals
CONS Ride quality is very rough over bumpy roads Many interior materials look and feel cheap to the touch Transmission is aggravating due to slow responses Raucous drone while accelerating, especially with 2.0-liter engine

The Rexton is a well-priced SUV that has a lot of boot space for the money and can carry seven people. Reviews are fairly poor though since it’s not good to drive, noisy and has a dull image. It is one of the cheapest ways to move large loads and more people than usual however, so if you’re in that market then it’s worth a look.
Pros Good off-road Practical Long warranty
Cons Poor ride Noisy Outdated
The Rexton’s four-wheel drive system spends most of its life driving the rear wheels only, diverting power to the front when conditions get more slippery. In most of the cars sold in the UK it will be controlled through a Mercedes-sourced seven-speed automatic transmission - but a six-speed manual is likely to be offered on entry-level editions. The dashboard has a clean look - again, with some cues from the Tivoli - but cross-stitched material panels and Nappa leather add a touch of luxury. The equipment on offer will include dual-zone climate control, a powered rear tailgate that opens automatically when the keyholder has been standing behind it for three seconds, and a new level of safety kit for SsangYong, including nine airbags and rear cross-traffic alert.
