The Mitsubishi Outlander, introduced in 2003 for the 2004 model year, was a groundbreaking SUV that marked Mitsubishi's foray into the burgeoning compact crossover segment. This first-generation Outlander (also known as the "C-segment SUV") was based on the Mitsubishi Airtrek platform, sharing its underpinnings with the Lancer Evolution and sharing design cues with the larger Pajero Sport. It offered a comfortable and spacious interior with seating for five or seven passengers, depending on the trim level. The Outlander was available with a choice of two engines: a 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine producing 135 horsepower and a 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine producing 160 horsepower. Both engines were paired with a five-speed manual or a four-speed automatic transmission, driving the front wheels or all four wheels through Mitsubishi's All-Wheel Control (AWC) system.

The 2004 Outlander was a relatively modern SUV for its time, offering features like anti-lock brakes, stability control, and optional leather upholstery. It was praised for its fuel efficiency, spacious interior, and capable handling on both paved and unpaved roads. However, some reviewers criticized its somewhat dated interior design and the lack of more powerful engine options. Despite the initial positive reception, the first-generation Outlander faced stiff competition in a rapidly growing market. Eventually, the Outlander would evolve and reach its third generation, becoming a more refined and technologically advanced SUV. The 2004 Outlander, however, played a vital role in establishing Mitsubishi's presence in the modern SUV market and paved the way for future successful models.
