Matt Blatt Mitsubishi - How much cargo space does the 2026 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport have near Sicklerville, NJ?
If you are comparing small SUVs for errands along Cross Keys Road, school pick-ups, and weekend getaways down the Atlantic City Expressway, cargo room is one of the first checks on the list. At Matt Blatt Mitsubishi, we help shoppers from Sicklerville, NJ figure out whether the 2026 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport has the right mix of usable space and everyday practicality — not just numbers on a spec sheet, but room that actually fits strollers, groceries, sports gear, and the odd Home Depot run.
Below, we break down exactly how much space you get in the 2026 Outlander Sport, how the 60:40 rear seat works in real life, and which factory accessories maximize versatility. We also share tips based on what our local customers bring to test-fit at our Glassboro showroom, only about 20 minutes from Sicklerville.
Cargo space at a glance
The 2026 Outlander Sport makes the most of its compact footprint with smart packaging and easy-to-use seat folding. Here is what the numbers mean before you ever open the liftgate:
- Behind 2nd row: 21.7 cu. ft.
- Max cargo volume: 49.5 cu. ft.
- Rear seat split: 60:40 folding function
- Ground clearance: 8.5 in
- Turning circle: 34.8 ft
With 21.7 cubic feet behind the second row, you have enough room for a week’s groceries from the Turnersville warehouse store plus a compact stroller or a couple of team duffel bags. Fold the 60 side and the load bay opens up for longer items — think a set of skis headed to the Poconos or a collapsible push cart for your next round at Scotland Run — while still keeping a rear passenger belted in on the remaining seat.
When you need maximum flexibility, fold both seatbacks and you unlock up to 49.5 cubic feet behind the front seats. That is the setting our Sicklerville customers use for moves to and from nearby campuses, bulk garden supplies for spring planting, or bringing home flat-packed furniture. The liftgate opening is accommodating, and the 60:40 split is easy to manage when your hands are full.
What the space fits in real life
Specs are helpful, but day-to-day life is the real test. In our showroom test-fits and customer deliveries, here is how the Outlander Sport’s cargo area tends to play out for common South Jersey scenarios:
- Strollers and kid gear: Most compact or mid-size strollers load in with the second row up, leaving room for diaper bags and a week’s groceries. For a jogging stroller, folding the 40 side usually does the trick.
- Sports and rec: Two rolling baseball bags or hockey duffels fit behind the second row; add sticks or longer items by dropping the smaller seatback. Golf clubs typically ride diagonally with seats up; a cart bag plus push cart is easier with one seat folded.
- DIY supplies: A couple of storage bins, paint, and small tools slot neatly behind the second row; for lumber or oversized boxes, fold both seats to take advantage of the 49.5 cu. ft. capacity.
If you are not sure your exact gear will fit, bring it by. We are happy to roll a stroller, clubs, or storage bins right up to an Outlander Sport in our lot so you can see it for yourself before you decide.
Factory accessories that make cargo life easier
Mitsubishi Genuine Accessories help you tailor the Outlander Sport to your routine around Sicklerville — from protecting the cargo area to expanding what you can carry:
- Reversible Cargo Mat: Switch between carpeted and wipe-clean sides depending on the day’s haul.
- All-weather Cargo Tray: Shield the load floor from mud, mulch, or sandy beach gear.
- Cargo Management System: Keep grocery bags, bottles, and small boxes from sliding around.
- Cargo Net and Seat Back Net: Add vertical and floor-level organization for smaller items.
- Tonneau Cover: Conceal belongings under the rear hatch — handy at busy lots near Gloucester Premium Outlets.
- Blue Tailgate LED Light: Add helpful illumination when you are loading in the early morning or after late practices.
- Crossbars (with or without rails): Open up rooftop carrying for bulky items and free the cargo floor.
- Upright Mount Bike Carrier: Secure bikes on the roof — ideal for rides along the trails without wrestling with interior space.

Our parts and service teams can help you choose the right accessories for your trim and install them to factory standards, so you leave ready for the next run to Berlin-Cross Keys Road or down to the shore.
Confidence when loaded — how the rest of the SUV helps
It is not just about room — it is also about how the Outlander Sport behaves when you are carrying that room’s worth of cargo. All trims include All-Wheel Control (AWC) for balanced handling and stability, and the continuously variable transmission (CVT) delivers smooth response when you merge onto Route 42 with a full load. With EPA-estimated fuel economy of 23 city/29 highway/26 combined, you can pack it up without feeling it at the pump day after day.
Standard driver-assistance features support your focus when the hatch is full: Forward Collision Mitigation (FCM) with Pedestrian Detection, Lane Departure Warning (LDW), Automatic High Beam (AHB), Active Stability Control (ASC), Hill Start Assist (HSA), Rear Seat Alert, a Rearview Camera, and more. Rear Privacy Glass is also standard, which is a simple but valuable layer when you have valuables in back.
Inside, the 8.0" Smartphone-Link Display Audio (SDA) with Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto makes errand-running easier — queue up directions, dictate a list, or check in with the team chat hands-free. Automatic Climate Control and front rain-sensing wipers keep the cabin calm while you focus on the next stop.
Adding peace of mind, Mitsubishi Motors Confidence backs your Outlander Sport with America’s Best-Backed Vehicles: a 10-year/100,000-mile Powertrain Limited Warranty, 2-year/30,000-mile Limited Maintenance, and 5 years of roadside assistance. That means fewer maintenance to-dos on your calendar while you are busy putting the cargo area to work.
Tips for using the space day to day
Small adjustments go a long way toward getting the most from a compact SUV’s cargo bay:
- Load heavy items first: Place them low and toward the seatbacks to keep weight forward and stable.
- Use the 60:40 split smartly: Fold only what you need to maintain a passenger spot when carpooling.
- Pack vertically with bins: Stackable totes prevent shifting and make unloading faster at home.
- Protect the floor: Add the All-weather Cargo Tray if you frequently haul sports, garden, or beach gear.
- Go up, not back: Install crossbars to move bikes or boards to the roof and keep rear visibility clear.
Following these simple habits maximizes both space and safety when you are darting between Sicklerville stops or heading out for the weekend.

Frequently Asked Questions:
Can a compact stroller fit with the rear seats up in the 2026 Outlander Sport?
Yes, in our test-fits most compact and many mid-size strollers load in with the second row upright, thanks to 21.7 cu. ft. of space behind the seats. For larger jogging strollers, folding the smaller 40 section usually creates the extra length you need. Bring your exact stroller by and we will try it together.
Will a set of golf clubs fit without folding the seats?
Typically, a standard golf bag fits diagonally across the cargo floor with the second row up. If you carry a cart bag plus a push cart, it is easier to fold the 40 side of the rear seat to keep the bag secure and maintain rear visibility.
Does All-Wheel Control (AWC) affect cargo space or how much I can carry?
AWC does not change the Outlander Sport’s interior cargo volume — you still have 21.7 cu. ft. behind the second row and up to 49.5 cu. ft. with the seats folded. For payload guidance, always consult the owner’s manual and avoid exceeding the vehicle’s ratings.
Are factory crossbars available even if my Outlander Sport does not have roof rails?
Yes. Mitsubishi offers Crossbars for trims without rails and a separate Crossbars option for trims with rails. Our parts team can help you pick the correct set and install them, so you can move bulky items to the roof and free up the cargo floor.
What accessories help keep the cargo area clean and organized?
We recommend the All-weather Cargo Tray for protection, the Reversible Cargo Mat for day-to-day flexibility, and the Cargo Management System or Cargo Net to keep bags in place. A Tonneau Cover helps conceal items in busy lots around Sicklerville, and the Seat Back Net adds vertical storage just behind the second row.
