Mitsubishi Outlander II (CW0W) gallery (2005–2012)
The Outlander II (CW0W) vehicle generation was manufactured by Mitsubishi Motors from 2005 to 2012 and offered in SUV body configurations.
The second-generation Mitsubishi Outlander (CW0W platform designation) launched in Japan in 2005 and globally in 2006. Constructed on the global GS architecture co-engineered with DaimlerChrysler, the crossover grew in physical footprint and introduced optional seven-passenger seating alongside a dual-opening flap-fold tailgate. The model also formed the foundation for the badge-engineered Peugeot 4007 and Citroën C-Crosser. Engineering of the Outlander II (CW0W) (factory code CW0W) emphasized high structural rigidity, aerodynamic efficiency, and optimized interior spatial packaging. Built with reinforced body structures utilizing high-tensile steel alloys, the platform delivered reduced curb weight alongside improved occupant crash protection. The vehicle was distributed globally in multiple configuration packages designed to satisfy diverse market demands and regional regulatory specifications.
Engine offerings comprised 2.0-liter (4B11) and 2.4-liter (4B12) four-cylinder petrol engines, topped by a 3.0-liter 6B31 V6 engine delivering up to 230 horsepower. Diesel options included 2.0-liter DI-D and 2.2-liter Di-D turbodiesel units. Drive options featured front-wheel drive and electronically controlled All-Wheel Control (AWC) systems. A major 2009 facelift adopted the brand's signature 'Jet Fighter' front grille styling. The powertrain lineup incorporated efficient engine families paired with robust manual, automatic, or continuously variable transmissions depending on trim selection. Drivetrain engineering integrated advanced suspension tuning and traction management systems.
