The 2003-2006 Mitsubishi Outlander is a compact SUV that marked the manufacturer's entry into the burgeoning crossover market segment. Featuring a unibody construction, the Outlander offered a spacious and versatile cabin, capable of seating up to seven passengers in its three-row configuration. Power came from a 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine producing 160 horsepower, paired with either a five-speed manual or a four-speed automatic transmission. While the Outlander was initially marketed as a budget-friendly option, it aimed to appeal to a broader audience by offering numerous standard amenities, such as air conditioning, power windows, and a CD player. The first-generation Outlander was known for its comfortable ride, decent fuel economy, and relatively affordable price point, making it a viable alternative to larger SUVs like the Toyota Highlander or the Honda Pilot. However, the Outlander also faced some criticism regarding its handling and performance. The 2.4-liter engine, though adequate for everyday driving, lacked the power and refinement of competitors. Furthermore, the Outlander's suspension, while comfortable, was not particularly sporty, resulting in a somewhat sluggish handling experience. Nevertheless, the Outlander's practicality, versatility, and affordability made it a valuable addition to Mitsubishi's lineup. It garnered a loyal following amongst families and individuals seeking a capable and reliable vehicle without breaking the bank. Despite some shortcomings, the 2003-2006 Mitsubishi Outlander established a strong foundation for the model's success in the years to come. The subsequent generations of the Outlander would address many of the initial criticisms, delivering improved performance, handling, and overall refinement.
