This is the first Outlander under its original Japanese name. Launched in 2001, the Airtrek was a low-slung crossover wagon built on Lancer underpinnings, with four-wheel drive on most versions. The Turbo R used a turbocharged 2.0-litre engine closely related to the Lancer Evolution's, which makes it a quiet favourite with people who know.
