Born from a collaboration with the French automaker PSA Peugeot Citroën, the Outlander shared its platform with the Peugeot 4007 and Citroën C-Crosser. The 2004 model year was the first generation of the Outlander, featuring a distinctive boxy design that emphasized practicality and ruggedness. It was available in both front-wheel drive and all-wheel drive configurations, powered by a 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine paired with a four-speed automatic transmission. While not known for its sporty handling, the Outlander offered a comfortable and spacious cabin with ample cargo space, making it an appealing option for families and those seeking a versatile vehicle for everyday use.
