They chose the name Airtrek because it was to "describe the vehicle’s ability to transport its passengers on adventure-packed journeys in a 'free-as-a-bird' manner"[1] and was "coined from Air and Trek to express the idea of footloose, adventure-filled motoring pleasure."[2] The new name Outlander was chosen because it suggested a "feeling of journeying to distant, unexplored lands in search of adventure."[1]
