The {{nihongo|'''Mitsubishi Outlander'''|三菱・アウトランダー|Mitsubishi Autorandā|lead=yes}} is a [[compact crossover SUV]] manufactured by Japanese automaker [[Mitsubishi Motors]] since 2001. It was originally known as the {{nihongo|'''Mitsubishi Airtrek'''|三菱・エアトレック|Mitsubishi Eatorekku|lead=yes}} 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">[http://www.mitsubishi-motors.com/corporate/ir/share/pdf/e/fact2005.pdf Fact & Figures 2005] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070305232559/http://www.mitsubishi-motors.com/corporate/ir/share/pdf/e/fact2005.pdf |date=5 March 2007 }}, 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">[http://media.mitsubishi-motors.com/pressrelease/e/products/detail330.html "MMC announces smart all-rounder AIRTREK model"] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100829072842/http://media.mitsubishi-motors.com/pressrelease/e/products/detail330.html |date=29 August 2010 }}, 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 [[Mitsubishi GS platform|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 engineering|badge engineered]] versions of the second generation Outlander.<ref name="psa">[http://www.motoring.co.za/index.php?fSectionId=835&fArticleId=3512364 "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. {{As of|2022|01}}, global sales totaled about 300,000 units.<ref name="OutlanderPHEV300K">{{cite press release | url=https://www.mitsubishi-motors.com/en/newsrelease/2022/detail1363.html |title=Mitsubishi Motors Introduces the All-New Outlander PHEV Model in New Zealand | publisher=Mitsubishi Motors | location=Tokyo | date=2022-03-04 | access-date=2022-03-04}} ''{{As of|2022|01}}, about 300,000 Mitsubishi Outlander PHEVs have been sold worldwide.''</ref>

The fourth-generation model was released in 2021 as a 2022 model.

The first-generation Outlander/Airtrek was based on the Mitsubishi ASX concept vehicle exhibited at the [[North American International Auto Show#2001|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>[http://media.mitsubishi-motors.com/pressrelease/e/motorshow/detail666.html "Mitsubishi Motors' ASX Concept at Detroit Show gives sneak peak[sic] at the next generation Global Multi-Activity Vehicle"] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100227025630/http://media.mitsubishi-motors.com/pressrelease/e/motorshow/detail666.html |date=27 February 2010 }}, 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 ''[[Mitsubishi Motors#Japan Sales Channels|Car Plaza]]''. It offered a choice of either a {{convert|126|PS|kW|abbr=on}} ''[[Mitsubishi Sirius engine|4G63]]'' 2.0&nbsp;L or a {{convert|139|PS|kW|abbr=on}} ''[[Mitsubishi Sirius engine|4G64]]'' 2.4&nbsp;L [[gasoline direct injection|GDI]], mated to a standard ''[[INVECS-II]]'' 4-speed [[automatic transmission]]. Both [[front-wheel drive|front-]] and [[four-wheel drive]] were available. The four-wheel drive version uses [[Differential (mechanics)|open differentials]] for the front and rear [[axle]]s, 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 [[Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution|Lancer Evolution]]'s ''[[Mitsubishi Sirius engine|4G63T]]'' 2.0&nbsp;L [[Straight-four engine|I4]] [[Turbocharger|turbo]].<ref>[http://media.mitsubishi-motors.com/pressrelease/e/motorshow/detail905.html "Mitsubishi Motors exhibits at 37 th Tokyo Motor Show"] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090120174121/http://media.mitsubishi-motors.com/pressrelease/e/motorshow/detail905.html |date=20 January 2009 }}, Mitsubishi Motors press release, 15 October 2003</ref> The [[Internal combustion engine|engine]] produced {{convert|240|PS|kW|abbr=on}} and {{convert|343|N·m|lb·ft|abbr=on}}, although in export markets the Outlander version's output was reduced to {{convert|202|PS|kW|abbr=on}} and {{convert|303|N·m|lb·ft|abbr=on}}. The availability of four-cylinder engines under 2.0 liters offered Japanese buyers a vehicle that was in compliance with [[Vehicle size class#Japan|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 {{convert|130|mm|in}}, and the two models were manufactured in parallel thereafter. It shared its platform with the [[Mitsubishi Grandis]], also introduced in 2003.{{Citation needed|date=October 2011}} A version of the ''[[Mitsubishi Sirius engine|4G64]]'' powerplant was offered first, while a ''[[Mitsubishi Sirius engine|4G69]]'' 2.4&nbsp;L [[Overhead camshaft#Single overhead camshaft|SOHC]] [[MIVEC]] I4 producing {{convert|120|kW|PS|abbr=on}} and {{convert|220|N·m|lb·ft|abbr=on}}, 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]].

On 17 October 2005, [[Mitsubishi Motors|Mitsubishi]] launched the second generation model, dropping the ''Airtrek'' in Japan in favour of adopting the global name.<ref name="name">[http://www.mitsubishi-motors.com/en/corporate/pressrelease/products/detail1351.html "Mitsubishi Motors launches all-new Outlander"] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160304054444/http://www.mitsubishi-motors.com/en/corporate/pressrelease/products/detail1351.html |date=4 March 2016 }}, Mitsubishi-Motors.com press release, 17 October 2005</ref> It features a new [[Overhead camshaft#Dual overhead camshaft|DOHC]] 2.4&nbsp;L 16-valve [[MIVEC]] engine; ''[[INVECS-III]]'' [[continuously variable transmission]] (CVT), Mitsubishi's [[Mitsubishi AWC|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 ''[[Mitsubishi 6B engine|6B31]]'' 3.0&nbsp;L [[V6 engine|V6]] [[Overhead camshaft#Single overhead camshaft|SOHC]] [[MIVEC]] was shown in April 2006 at the [[New York International Auto Show#2006|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 [[Vehicle size class#Japan|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 [[Road tax#Japan|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 {{cvt|140|PS|kW|0}}, as also installed in the European market [[Mitsubishi Grandis|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 [[PSA EW/DW engine#DW12|DW12]] common rail diesel with {{cvt|156|PS|kW|0}}. Both diesels were labelled "Di-D" by Mitsubishi. In September 2010 Mitsubishi's own 2.3-liter [[Mitsubishi 4N1 engine|4N14]] diesel engine with {{cvt|177|PS|kW|0}} was introduced while the Volkswagen engine was discontinued. The PSA unit continued to be available in certain countries.

The Outlander, which features Mitsubishi's ''[[Mitsubishi RISE|RISE]]'' safety body, received a four-star rating from the [[Euro NCAP]] [[car safety]] performance assessment programme.<ref name="euroncap">{{Cite web|url=https://www.euroncap.com:443/en/ratings-rewards/latest-safety-ratings/?selectedClasses=1179&allProtocols=true&selectedMake=0&selectedMakeName=Select%20a%20make&selectedModel=0&includeFullSafetyPackage=false&selectedModelName=All&selectedProtocols=1472,5910,5931,1468,1469,1470,1471,14999&allClasses=false&allDriverAssistanceTechnologies=false&selectedDriverAssistanceTechnologies=|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070303084002/http://www.euroncap.com/images/results/Small_Off-Roaders/car_284_2007/Mitsubishi%20Outlander%20Datasheet.pdf|url-status=dead|title=Latest Safety Ratings &#124; Euro NCAP|archive-date=3 March 2007|website=www.euroncap.com}}</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 {{convert|400|lb|kg|abbr=on|order=flip}}.<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>{{Cite news |date=October 15, 2007 |title=Mitsubishi adds 2.4L Outlander to the lineup |url=https://www.autoindustriya.com/auto-industry-news/mitsubishi-adds-outlander-2-4-dohc-mivec-variant-to-lineup.html |website=Autoindustriya}}</ref>

In 2009, the GLX grade was added to the lineup, powered by the same 2.4L inline-four engine as the GLS.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Bartolome |first=Anne |date=July 1, 2009 |title=2009 Mitsubishi Outlander review |url=https://www.topgear.com.ph/drives/2009-mitsubishi-outlander-review |website=Top Gear Philippines}}</ref>

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">[http://media.mitsubishi-motors.com/pressrelease/e/corporate/detail1675.html "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 [[SEMA (association)#2007|2007 SEMA Show]] in [[Las Vegas Valley|Las Vegas]], the company displayed a '''Mitsubishi Evolander''' (now known as '''Mitsubishi Outlander Ralliart''') concept, powered by a {{convert|240|kW|PS|abbr=on}} [[supercharged]] version of the vehicle's ''[[Mitsubishi 6B engine|6B31]]'' [[V6 engine]] and equipped with suitably uprated [[suspension (vehicle)|suspension]], [[brake]]s, wheels/tires, [[body kit]] and interior.<ref name="edmunds">[http://www.edmunds.com/insideline/do/AutoshowArticles/articleId=117365 "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 [[New York International Auto Show#2009|2009 New York International Auto Show]],<ref>[http://www.autoblog.com/2009/04/08/new-york-mitsubishi-outlander-gt-concept-is-an-evoplasty-recipi/ 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">[http://www.voxy.co.nz/national/new-mitsubishi-outlander-reveals-aggressive-styling-and-upgraded-features/5/29777 "New Mitsubishi Outlander Reveals Aggressive Styling And Upgraded Features"] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210917091554/http://www.voxy.co.nz/national/new-mitsubishi-outlander-reveals-aggressive-styling-and-upgraded-features/5/29777 |date=17 September 2021 }}, 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 [[Mitsubishi AWC|AWC]] AWD system. Likewise, the interior was also slightly revised to incorporate leather into the dashboard trim and doors.<gallery widths="200" heights="133">

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 {{convert|197|hp|0|abbr=on}}. 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>{{Citation|title=Mitsubishi Outlander AWD Plug In Hybrid System Explained!| date=6 March 2018 |url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LZ__5-V6CTI |archive-url=https://ghostarchive.org/varchive/youtube/20211212/LZ__5-V6CTI| archive-date=2021-12-12 |url-status=live|language=en|access-date=2021-07-11}}{{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">{{cite news |last=Crowe |first=Philippe |date=29 March 2013 |title=Mitsubishi Reveals More Info on Its Outlander PHEV |publisher=HybridCars.com |url=http://www.hybridcars.com/mitsubishi-reveals-more-info-on-its-outlander-phev/ |access-date=19 March 2016}}</ref>

It consists of 80 cells configured in series.<ref name=EVmodes/> Mitsubishi's target was to achieve a combined fuel economy for Japan in [[charge-depleting|"EV Drive" mode]] of 67&nbsp;km/L equivalent, or equivalent to about 157 [[miles per gallon gasoline equivalent|miles per U.S. gallon (MPGe)]]. Fuel economy in hybrid mode for Japan is {{convert|44|mpgus|L/100km||abbr=on|order=flip}}.<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>{{cite web |url=http://www.mitsubishi-cars.co.uk/outlander/charging.aspx |title=Charging Electric and Plug-in Hybrid Vehicles: Charging at Home/Using Public Chargers |publisher=Mitsubishi Motors UK |access-date=19 March 2016}}</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>{{cite web |title=Driving the Outlander PHEV: Control at your finger tips |url=http://www.mitsubishi-cars.co.uk/outlander/explore-phev.aspx |access-date=19 March 2016 |publisher=Mitsubishi Motors UK}}</ref><ref>{{cite news |last=Lilly |first=Chris |date=22 October 2015 |title=Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV review |work=Next Green Car |url=http://www.nextgreencar.com/review/7306/mitsubishi-outlander-phev-review/ |access-date=19 March 2016}}</ref><ref>{{cite news |last=O'Kane |first=Tony |date=27 March 2014 |title=2014 Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV Review: The Fuel Economy Run |work=The Motor Report |url=http://www.themotorreport.com.au/58513/2014-mitsubishi-outlander-phev-economy-review |access-date=19 March 2016}}</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 [[Boeing 787 Dreamliner battery problems|battery problems]].<ref name=NYTBattery>{{cite news |url=https://www.nytimes.com/2013/03/28/business/gs-yuasa-discovers-problems-with-its-car-battery.html?emc=eta1&_r=2& |title=New Problem for Boeing 787 Battery Maker |author=Hiroko Tabuchi |author-link=Hiroko Tabuchi |work=[[The New York Times]] |date=27 March 2013 |access-date=13 April 2013}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.greencarcongress.com/2013/03/mmc-20130327.html |title=Mitsubishi reports fire in i-MiEV battery pack, melting in Outlander PHEV pack |author=Mitsubishi Motors Press Release |publisher=Green Car Congress |date=27 April 2013 |access-date=13 April 2013}}</ref> Mitsubishi did not issue a recall but halted production and sales until it determined the cause of the battery problems.

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>{{Cite web|title=Mitsubishi GT-PHEV concept at Paris Motor Show|url=https://www.greencarreports.com/news/1106430_mitsubishi-gt-phev-concept-at-paris-motor-show|access-date=2021-10-20|website=Green Car Reports|date=3 October 2016 |language=en}}</ref> then the Engelberg Tourer concept which debuted at the [[Geneva Motor Show#2019|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#T33|Nissan Rogue]]/[[Nissan X-Trail#T33|X-Trail (T33)]], and is the first Mitsubishi product riding on the new [[Renault-Nissan Common Module Family#CMF-C/D|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 {{cvt|181|hp|PS kW|0|abbr=on}} and {{cvt|245|Nm|kgm lbft|abbr=on|sigfig=3}}. 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>{{Cite web|last=Smith|first=Sam D.|date=2021-02-16|title=All-New 2022 Mitsubishi Outlander: Everything You Need To Know|url=https://www.carscoops.com/2021/02/all-new-2022-mitsubishi-outlander-everything-you-need-to-know/|access-date=2021-02-17|website=Carscoops}}</ref>

=== Outlander PHEV ===
The plug-in hybrid version was released in Japan in October 2021.<ref>{{Cite web|title=2023 Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV Gets 54 Miles Of Electric-Only Range|url=https://www.motor1.com/news/543742/2023-mitsubishi-outlander-phev-debut/|access-date=2021-12-19|website=Motor1.com|language=en}}</ref> It retains the [[Mitsubishi 4B1 engine#4B12 (2.4L 4 Cylinder NA)|''4B12'']] engine used by the previous generation Outlander PHEV, coupled with a more powerful motor and a larger 20&nbsp;kWh battery. The revised setup means an increased power output on the front and rear motors, combining for a total driving range of {{convert|87|km|mi|1|abbr=on}} in electric-only mode. The engine was rated at {{cvt|170|PS|kW hp|0|abbr=on}} at 6,000&nbsp;rpm and {{cvt|226–232|Nm|lbft|0|abbr=on}} at 4,100&nbsp;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>{{Cite web|title=Mitsubishi Launches All-New Outlander PHEV With 20 kWh Battery|url=https://insideevs.com/news/543899/mitsubishi-outlander-phev-new-20kwh/|access-date=2021-12-19|website=InsideEVs|language=en}}</ref>
