This review will deal solely with the Sport version of the Outlander, which is the 5-seat cross-over sibling of the big Outlander SUV. The most outstanding design traits of the Outlander Sport are found on its superb exterior. The front grille’s solid-surface design blends “artfully” with its honeycomb mesh inserts. At the same time the new chrome-accented lower bumper extension gives the vehicle a robust and advanced fierce profile. The new rear bumper extension is both visually appealing and safe. This CUV stands tall and solidly on 18-inch alloy wheels.
