Staying connected while on the move is effortless in the Outlander Sport 2.0 ES. The cabin features a Digital/analog instrumentation display that keeps vital vehicle information front and center. At the heart of the dashboard is an 8 inch primary display with a Primary monitor touchscreen, serving as the hub for the Radio: AM/FM 8.0in Smartphone Link Display Audio.

Integration is seamless thanks to Android Auto & Apple CarPlay smart device mirroring, allowing you to access your favorite navigation apps, music, and messages directly through the interface. For those who prefer a wireless experience, Bluetooth handsfree wireless device connectivity and Bluetooth wireless audio streaming are standard. You can manage your media without taking your hands off the Urethane steering wheel using the Steering wheel mounted audio controls. Additionally, the ECO feedback display gauge helps you monitor your driving efficiency in real-time, while the 1 USB port ensures your primary device stays charged throughout your journey.

The Cloth front seat upholstery and Cloth door trim insert provide a comfortable and durable environment for up to five passengers. The Driver seat with 6-way directional controls and Manual reclining allows you to find the perfect position for long drives, while the Automatic climate control with Rear under seat climate control ducts ensures everyone stays cool in the Florida heat.

Versatility is a core strength of this interior. The 60-40 folding rear seats allow you to expand the cargo area quickly, which features Carpet cargo area floor, Cargo area tie downs, and Cargo area concealed storage for your valuables. Convenience features abound, including Power windows with Driver one-touch up/down, Remote keyless entry, and Two 12V power outlets for charging accessories.

The design is accented by a Chrome grille and a Chrome front bumper insert, giving the front fascia a bold and polished look. A Rear lip spoiler adds a touch of athletic flair to the silhouette, while the 18 x 7-inch machined aluminum wheels with painted accents provide a premium stance.

Visibility is a priority, evidenced by the LED low and high beam headlights, LED front fog lights, and LED daytime running lights. The Auto on/off headlight control and Auto High Beams (AHB) ensure you have the best possible illumination without manual adjustment. Practical touches include Heated door mirrors to clear morning dew and Deep tinted windows that help keep the interior temperature down. The Body-colored front and rear bumpers and Body-colored door handles create a cohesive and upscale appearance that looks right at home in any driveway.
