The Template:Nihongo is a compact crossover SUV manufactured by Japanese automaker Mitsubishi Motors since 2001. It was originally known as the Template:Nihongo when it was introduced in Japan.

The original Airtrek name was chosen to "describe the vehicle's ability to transport its passengers on adventure-packed journeys in a 'free-as-a-bird' manner",<ref name="facts33">Fact & Figures 2005 Template:Webarchive, p.33, Mitsubishi Motors website</ref> and was "coined from Air and Trek to express the idea of footloose, adventure-filled motoring pleasure."<ref name="airtrek">"MMC announces smart all-rounder AIRTREK model" Template:Webarchive, Mitsubishi-Motors.com press release, 20 June 2001</ref> The Outlander nameplate which replaced it evoked a "feeling of journeying to distant, unexplored lands in search of adventure."<ref name="facts33"/>

The second generation of the vehicle was introduced in 2006 and all markets including Japan adopted the Outlander name, although production of the older version continued in parallel. It was built on the company's GS platform, and used various engines developed by Mitsubishi, Volkswagen, and PSA Peugeot Citroën. PSA's Citroën C-Crosser and Peugeot 4007, which were manufactured by Mitsubishi in Japan, are badge engineered versions of the second generation Outlander.<ref name="psa">"New Peugeot/Citroen off-roader", Motoring.co.za, 30 October 2006</ref> Global sales achieved the 1.5 million unit milestone in October 2016, 15 years after its market launch.<ref name="Sales1.5mi"/>

As part of the third generation line-up, Mitsubishi launched in January 2013 a plug-in hybrid model called Outlander PHEV. Template:As of, global sales totaled about 300,000 units.<ref name="OutlanderPHEV300K">Template:Cite press release Template:As of, about 300,000 Mitsubishi Outlander PHEVs have been sold worldwide.</ref>

The fourth-generation model was released in 2021 as a 2022 model. Following Mitsubishi's entry to Renault–Nissan–Mitsubishi Alliance, the fourth-generation Outlander is based on the Rogue/X-Trail, which is built on the CMF-CD platform.<ref name=AM2102>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>

Template:For Template:Infobox automobile

The first-generation Outlander/Airtrek was based on the Mitsubishi ASX concept vehicle exhibited at the 2001 North American International Auto Show. The ASX (Active Sports Crossover) represented Mitsubishi's approach to the industry wide crossover SUV trend for retaining the all-season and off-road abilities offered by a high ground clearance and four-wheel drive, while still offering car-like levels of emissions, economy, and size.<ref>"Mitsubishi Motors' ASX Concept at Detroit Show gives sneak peak[sic at the next generation Global Multi-Activity Vehicle"] Template:Webarchive, Mitsubishi-Motors.com press release, 10 January 2001</ref>

The Airtrek was first introduced to the Japanese market on 20 June 2001, and was sold at Mitsubishi Japan dealership chain called Car Plaza. It offered a choice of either a Template:Convert 4G63 2.0 L or a Template:Convert 4G64 2.4 L GDI, mated to a standard INVECS-II 4-speed automatic transmission. Both front- and four-wheel drive were available. The four-wheel drive version uses open differentials for the front and rear axles, with a viscous coupling unit for the center differential. A performance-oriented model, called the Turbo-R, was introduced in 2002 and used a detuned version of the Lancer Evolution's 4G63T 2.0 L I4 turbo.<ref>"Mitsubishi Motors exhibits at 37 th Tokyo Motor Show" Template:Webarchive, Mitsubishi Motors press release, 15 October 2003</ref> The engine produced Template:Convert and Template:Convert, although in export markets the Outlander version's output was reduced to Template:Convert and Template:Convert. The availability of four-cylinder engines under 2.0 liters offered Japanese buyers a vehicle that was in compliance with Japanese regulations concerning exterior dimensions and engine displacement, however, the exterior dimensions exceed Japanese regulations for the "compact" designation.

The Outlander arrived in 2003 in North America, replacing the Mitsubishi Montero Sport, with a modified front grille and headlights which increased the overall length by approximately Template:Convert, and the two models were manufactured in parallel thereafter. It shared its platform with the Mitsubishi Grandis, also introduced in 2003.Template:Citation needed A version of the 4G64 powerplant was offered first, while a 4G69 2.4 L SOHC MIVEC I4 producing Template:Convert and Template:Convert, and the turbocharged 4G63T appeared in 2004. All had the option of front- or four-wheel drive.

In several South American markets it was known as the Montero Outlander, to benefit from an association with the strong-selling Mitsubishi Montero Sport.

Template:Anchor Second generation (CW/ZG/ZH; 2006)

Template:Infobox automobile On 17 October 2005, Mitsubishi launched the second generation model, dropping the Airtrek in Japan in favour of adopting the global name.<ref name="name">"Mitsubishi Motors launches all-new Outlander" Template:Webarchive, Mitsubishi-Motors.com press release, 17 October 2005</ref> It features a new DOHC 2.4 L 16-valve MIVEC engine; INVECS-III continuously variable transmission (CVT), Mitsubishi's AWC system which features electronically controlled four-wheel-drive and stability control, on a stretched Mitsubishi GS platform. The North American version, powered by a newly designed 6B31 3.0 L V6 SOHC MIVEC was shown in April 2006 at the New York International Auto Show prior to its release in October the same year. Due to the availability of a V6 engine, Mitsubishi returned to offering a shorter version of this vehicle and reintroduced the Mitsubishi RVR on 17 February 2010. The usage of a four-cylinder engine under 2.0 liters offers Japanese buyers a vehicle that was in compliance with Japanese regulations concerning exterior dimensions and engine displacement, which has tax advantages, giving buyers the ability to purchase a vehicle capable of seating seven people without paying the tax penalty of a larger engine.

The second generation Outlander went on sale in Europe in February 2007, and this time included a diesel engine – essential in the European market at the time. Mitsubishi chose to purchase Volkswagen's 2.0-litre Pumpe-Düse unit with Template:Cvt, as also installed in the European market Grandis. Before this even went on sale, Mitsubishi had decided that there was a need for a more powerful diesel option and by November 2007 higher end diesel models received PSA's 2.2-liter DW12 common rail diesel with Template:Cvt. Both diesels were labelled "Di-D" by Mitsubishi. In September 2010 Mitsubishi's own 2.3-liter 4N14 diesel engine with Template:Cvt was introduced while the Volkswagen engine was discontinued. The PSA unit continued to be available in certain countries.

The Outlander, which features Mitsubishi's RISE safety body, received a four-star rating from the Euro NCAP car safety performance assessment programme.<ref name="euroncap">{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> One of its unique features is something Mitsubishi calls a "Flap-Fold Tailgate"; it is a two-piece tailgate integrated into the rear bumper that folds down for easy loading, while serving as a bench when the tailgate is open, able to accommodate up to Template:Convert.<ref>Mitsubishi Sales Brochure printed January 2011</ref>

In the Philippines, the second generation Outlander was released in 2007. It was offered in 2 grades; the entry-level GLS and the top-spec GLS Sport. The GLS grade is powered by a 2.4L MIVEC inline-four engine, while the GLS Sport is powered by a 3.0L V6 engine both paired to a INVECS-III CVT with 6-speed sportronic mode and multi-select 4WD system.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref>

In 2009, the GLX grade was added to the lineup, powered by the same 2.4L inline-four engine as the GLS.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>

In its home market of Japan it was the best-selling SUV from October 2006 to March 2007,<ref name="wcf_sales">"New Mitsubishi Outlander Japan's Best Selling SUV", WorldCarFans.com, 21 April 2006</ref> while in the U.S. market it achieved 1,694 and 2,108 sales in November and December 2006, the first two full months it was available;<ref name="us_sales">"All-New Outlander Leads Mitsubishi To November Sales Increase" Template:Dead link, Mitsubishi Motors North America press release, 1 December 2006</ref><ref name="businessweek">"December Auto Sales: Mitsubishi", Associated Press/BusinessWeek, 3 January 2007</ref> Mitsubishi hoped for at least 4,000 sales per month in the United States.<ref name="autoweek">"New products need to be hits for Mitsubishi to stay in U.S. market", Kathy Jackson, Automotive News, 30 May 2006</ref> In Chile, where both generations were on sale simultaneously, the new model was badged Outlander K2.

Increased demand for the Lancer, and the consequent effects on the capacity of the company's Mizushima production facility, have obliged Mitsubishi to reassess production of the Outlander. In September 2007, they announced that from 2008, production of European market Outlanders would be transferred from Nagoya to its NedCar plant in the Netherlands, while the Citroën C-Crosser and Peugeot 4007 would have their production transferred from Mizushima to Nagoya.<ref name="outlander">"Mitsubishi Motors transfers Outlander production for Europe", Mitsubishi Motors press release, 18 September 2007</ref>

The model was facelifted for the 2008 model year, although the 2007 grille carried over in the United States and Canada for 2008-09 until another facelift in the 2010 model year.

At the 2007 SEMA Show in Las Vegas, the company displayed a Mitsubishi Evolander (now known as Mitsubishi Outlander Ralliart) concept, powered by a Template:Convert supercharged version of the vehicle's 6B31 V6 engine and equipped with suitably uprated suspension, brakes, wheels/tires, body kit and interior.<ref name="edmunds">"Mitsubishi Evolander", Josh Jacquot, Inside Line: 2006 SEMA Show, Edmunds.com</ref> A second show car, an Outlander GT Prototype with a front grille based on the Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution X, was exhibited at the 2009 New York International Auto Show,<ref>New York: Mitsubishi Outlander GT Prototype gets a EVOplasty snarl, Autoblog, 8 April 2009</ref> and formed the basis of the facelifted model introduced in late 2009.<ref name="out_gt_facelift">"New Mitsubishi Outlander Reveals Aggressive Styling And Upgraded Features" Template:Webarchive, Voxy.co.nz, 10 November 2009</ref>

Along with a major facelift for the 2010 model year, the top end Outlander XLS (GT in the US) introduced a new colour multi-function display and the Mitsubishi S-AWC AWD system. The lower trims retain the previous MFD and the less advanced AWC AWD system. Likewise, the interior was also slightly revised to incorporate leather into the dashboard trim and doors.

At the 2015 New York International Auto Show, Mitsubishi debuted a heavily revised Outlander for the 2016 model year.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> The vehicle features new design language called "Dynamic Shield" that will be the basis for future vehicles in different segments. The revised headlights now include LED DRLs with the option of full LED headlights. Inside the cabin, Mitsubishi made refinements to the steering wheel, headliner, rear folding seats, and door controls.

Besides cosmetic changes, the updated Outlander has somewhat reduced cabin noise via increased use of sound insulation, thicker door glass, dynamic suspension and differential dampers, and thicker weatherstripping. The suspension and steering are re-tuned and a new generation Jatco CVT8 transmission introduced for four-cylinder models. The revised SUV first went on sale in Russia in April 2015, followed by the Australia in June and Canada and the Caribbean in July.

Template:Multiple image

The plug-in hybrid has a 2.0-litre 4-cylinder MIVEC petrol engine, coupled with an electric powertrain, derived from the electric systems used on the Mitsubishi i-MiEV, it produces a combined Template:Convert. Two 60 kW electric motors independently power the front and rear wheels, while the petrol-powered engine can be used as a generator for the motors, and/or power the vehicle directly. The combustion engine can only send power to the front wheels as there is no driveshaft linking it to the rear wheels.<ref>Template:CitationTemplate:Cbignore</ref> Located on the left side of the engine (positioned transaxle-style), the front motor is a smaller, lighter, and higher output version of the permanent magnet synchronous electric motor used in the i-MiEV.<ref name=Paris12/><ref name="EVmodes">Template:Cite news</ref>

The Outlander PHEV has a 12 kWh lithium-ion battery pack capable of delivering an all-electric range of Template:Convert under the New European Driving Cycle.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> Under the Japanese JC08 test the all-electric range is Template:Convert, with a top speed of Template:Convert.<ref name=JapPHEV/> The battery pack is located in a dust- and waterproof encasement positioned beneath the passenger compartment subfloor and between the front and rear axles, with no intrusion into the passenger compartment. It consists of 80 cells configured in series.<ref name=EVmodes/> Mitsubishi's target was to achieve a combined fuel economy for Japan in "EV Drive" mode of 67 km/L equivalent, or equivalent to about 157 miles per U.S. gallon (MPGe). Fuel economy in hybrid mode for Japan is Template:Convert.<ref name=Paris12/><ref name=JapPHEV/>

The plug-in hybrid comes equipped with two charging sockets, regular and quick charging CHAdeMO. When charging at home the driver can choose between a standard 3-pin plug socket or via a dedicated EV charging point. From a standard plug, charging from empty to full charge takes about five hours. From a dedicated charging point at home or at a public charging point, it takes about 3.5 hours for a full charge. The DC rapid charging socket can be used at CHAdeMO charging stations. Rapid charging allows for an 80% charge in approximately 25 minutes.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>

The Outlander PHEV features three driver-activated modes, which are ECO Mode, Battery Save Mode and Battery Charge Mode, along with three driving modes: "EV Drive", "Series Hybrid", and "Parallel Hybrid".<ref name="EVmodes" /> It also features regenerative braking during normal deceleration (braking or coasting), with the front and rear electric motors working as generators so that electricity can be generated and fed back into the main battery pack. In addition, the plug-in hybrid has a set-up that allows the driver to control the strength of the engine braking with paddles behind the steering wheel. The driver switches on regenerative braking either by sliding the central selector to the "B" position, or by operating the paddles.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref><ref>Template:Cite news</ref><ref>Template:Cite news</ref>

Battery incident

In March 2013, the battery pack of an Outlander PHEV at a dealership in Yokohama overheated and melted some of the battery cells, after the vehicle had been fully charged and stood for one day. Nobody was injured in the incident. The battery packs are produced by GS Yuasa, the same company that supplies the batteries for the Boeing 787 Dreamliner, whose entire fleet was grounded in January 2013 for battery problems.<ref name=NYTBattery>Template:Cite news</ref><ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> Mitsubishi did not issue a recall but halted production and sales until it determined the cause of the battery problems. The carmaker advised the 4,000 owners of the Outlander plug-in hybrid to drive only on gasoline mode for the time being.<ref name=NYTBattery/><ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> On 19 August 2013, after changing a production process to avoid damaging any batteries, Mitsubishi restarted production of the Outlander plug-in hybrid.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>

Template:Anchor Fourth generation (GM/GN/ZM; 2021)

Template:Infobox automobile The fourth-generation Outlander debuted on February 16, 2021. It first takes inspiration from the GT-PHEV concept which debuted at the 2016 Paris Motor Show,<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> then the Engelberg Tourer concept which debuted at the 2019 Geneva Motor Show, and finally developed four years after Nissan purchased a 34 percent stake in Mitsubishi Motors. It is based on the Nissan Rogue/X-Trail (T33), and is the first Mitsubishi product riding on the new CMF-CD platform.<ref name=AM2102/> Like its predecessor, it continues to offer the same seven-seat configuration.

Changes include the new PR25DD 2.5-litre petrol engine shared with the Nissan Rogue, producing Template:Cvt and Template:Cvt. A plug-in hybrid powertrain is available with diesel powertrains discontinued. Due to its close ties with the Rogue, many interior elements are also shared with this model. New interior features include an available 9.0-inch infotainment system with wireless Apple CarPlay, a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster and a head-up display.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>

In the US, it was sold in five trim levels in 2022: ES, SE, SE Launch Edition, SEL and SEL Launch Edition. In 2023, it was sold in ES, SE Special Edition, SE, Black Edition, SEL, SEL Black Edition, RALLIART, and SEL 40th Anniversary Edition. For 2024, SEL 40th Anniversary Edition was replaced by Platinum Edition.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>

The model was introduced in Australia in November 2021 and went on sale in February 2022. Trim levels available are ES, LS, Aspire, Exceed and Exceed Tourer, with the ES trim receiving both 5-seat and 7-seat options.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>

The Outlander includes a 360-degree camera, forward collision mitigation, lane-departure warning, blind-spot monitoring.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> The North American market 2022 Outlander SE Launch Edition adds features such as adaptive cruise control and lane departure prevention.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>

Outlander PHEV

The plug-in hybrid version was released in Japan in October 2021.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> It retains the 4B12 engine used by the previous generation Outlander PHEV, coupled with a more powerful motor and a larger 20 kWh battery. The revised setup means an increased power output on the front and rear motors, combining for a total driving range of Template:Convert in electric-only mode. The engine was rated at Template:Cvt at 6,000 rpm and Template:Cvt at 4,100 rpm depending on region. Contrary to its predecessor, the PHEV model is available in a 7-seat configuration which made possible by unifying the rear motor with the control unit.<ref name=insideev>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>

The second generation Outlander PHEV went on sale in North America in 2022 for the 2023 model year.<ref name=insideev /> Starting in 2026, the Outlander will also be rebadged as the Nissan Rogue PHEV in the North American market, with light visual changes including a modified grille and rear tail lights.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>

The model became available in some European countries beginning in early 2025.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>
