The 2004 Mitsubishi Outlander belongs to the first generation of this model line. It is a compact crossover SUV offered with a modest yet efficient 2.4-liter inline-four engine that generates 160 horsepower and 161 lb-ft of torque, mated to a 4-speed automatic transmission. The drivetrain is a standard front-wheel drive, but a highly capable all-wheel drive system called AWC (All Wheel Control) is also available for offering improved traction in adverse driving conditions. Notable about this model is its generous standard equipment list that includes full power accessories, air conditioning, keyless entry, a CD player, and a 60/40-split folding rear seat. Higher trims offer luxury features such as leather upholstery and a sunroof. The Outlander is also known for its pleasing ride and sporty handling it bestows.
