2025 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport

Factory specifications, fluid capacities, torque values, EPA fuel economy and the federal safety record for the 2025 Outlander Sport.

The 2025 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport arrives as the latest iteration of the nameplate, and its reliability profile is notable for having just a single owner‑reported complaint in the data set, with that issue centered on the air‑bag system and no recalls recorded. Looking at the broader complaint history that spans 2011‑2026, the model’s lowest point occurred in 2024 with only one complaint, while the peak year was 2015, which logged 231 complaints. This contrast shows that the 2025 model year sits at the favorable end of the Outlander Sport’s reliability trend, reflecting a marked improvement over earlier years.

Factory maintenance schedule OEM · verified

Normal service, condensed from the factory interval matrix.

Under the factory schedule, replace the engine oil and filter every 7,500 mi; spark plugs at 105,000 mi; coolant at 120,000 mi. The big-interval services (at 120,000 mi for coolant, and the transmission fluid) are the ones owners most often skip — on a lower-mileage example, assume the original fluids are still in it and check them first.

Reliability & federal safety record

Owner-reported issues, recalls, investigations and service bulletins on record with NHTSA — an unfiltered look at what owners actually experience.

In the federal record, the 2025 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport shows only 1 complaint and 0 recalls, matching the 2024 model’s complaint count but with half the TSBs (6 versus 15). Compared to the peak of 231 complaints in 2015, the 2025 figure continues a steady decline that began after 2018, when complaints fell to 21 and have since dropped to single digits. The 2026 model registers 2 complaints and the same 6 TSBs, indicating that 2025 sits at the low‑point of the complaint trajectory. The sole complaint falls under Air Bags, and there are no crash‑related or fire complaints reported. Given the minimal complaint volume and absence of recalls, the data support a recommendation to consider the 2025 model as a good year to buy.
