It has four doors and a roomy cargo area that's easily accessible. Like other small crossover sport utilities, Mitsubishi Outlander offers elevated seating for better visibility.

Mitsubishi's 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine is rated at 160 horsepower, matching output of Honda CR-V and Toyota RAV4. Mitsubishi tuned Outlander's engine to deliver bulk of its torque at lower engine speeds. Mitsubishi's MIVEC electronic variable-valve setup helps engine to operate at peak power and efficiency throughout rev range.

The 2005 Mitsubishi Outlander is available in three models: LS, XLS, and Limited. All come with 160-horsepower 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine. Most models come standard with an automatic, but base models come with a five-speed manual. Each is available with front-wheel drive (2WD) or all-wheel drive (AWD).

Driving concept cars is a wonderful experience knowing you have driven a future car first hand. Designs that you can only see in futuristic movies become suddenly real and many are exaggerated versions of what will actually appear. The Jeep® Gladiator Concept Car features historic box side-mounted spare of past models as well as an open-air canvas top, an expandable truck bed and a stowaway rear seat cushion, has a rugged functionality only found in Jeep. The engine is a 2.8-liter diesel ideal for off-roading yet environmentally friendly, since gas mileage of diesels is better and do not pollute like those of years past.

It can presumably also be run on biodiesel, which both reduces amount of energy spent on processing and avoids toxic spills. The engine has an abundant 295 foot-pounds of torque and 163 horsepower. The short rear overhang allows a good departure angle for off-roading. There is a solid front axle, and in rear, a trailing arm system with coil-within-a-coil. There are a front winch, front and rear locking differentials, and skid plates. On driver's side, there is a cabin storage access panel, and a lockable storage box in front of rear wheel where jack is stowed.
