The Flexity Outlook family are articulated light-rail trams manufactured by Bombardier Transportation. The Outlook family includes two models of tram which although related, bear no real visual resemblance.

The Eurotram has a modern design that makes it look almost as much like a train as a tram, and has large windows along its entire length. It is used by Strasbourg, Milan, and the Porto Metro.

The Cityrunner, which has a more traditional tram design, is used by several cities in Austria (in Linz and Graz), also Łódź (Poland), Geneva (Switzerland), Eskişehir (Turkey), and Brussels, and vehicles for Marseille, Valencia, Alicante and Innsbruck are in the design and production phase.

Both models offer 100%-low floors, and either bi-directional or unidirectional operation. They follow a modular design allowing them to be customised for use on networks that require narrow vehicles or tight curve radii, or simply to give them a unique appearance for each city.

The Flexity Outlook's closest competitors are the Citadis from Alstom, the Combino and Avanto from Siemens), and Bombardier's other Flexity trams (including the Swift, Classic, and Link tram-train).
