- Strong economical 2.5-litre turbo diesel engine

Mitsubishi’s latest Challenger SUV has returned to its roots offering customers a stylish, spacious five-seat SUV that
is equally at home as a daily family wagon as it is exploring beyond the tarmac. With the 2WD version discontinued, the
Challenger is now solely a 4x4.
With a progressive new look inside and out, a host of new comfort, convenience and safety features, a strong and
economical turbo diesel engine and serious four-wheel drive system incorporating a full set of low range ratios, the 14MY
Challenger is a suitable all-round SUV for families, couples or individuals seeking great value for money. In fact, it’s
one of the most affordable larger SUV wagons with full off-road capability.
Mitsubishi Motors Australia Limited’s (MMAL) CEO, Mutsuhiro Oshikiri, said the Challenger has always appealed to
customers looking for an SUV that is comfortable and convenient around town but has the tough off-road ability to satisfy
their sense of adventure.
“With this significantly updated model, we have focussed on the strengths of the Challenger with its all-4WD range
that offers plenty of space for five occupants and all their sports, camping or leisure equipment,” Mr Oshikiri
said.
“Its spacious and comfortable interior with a host of standard convenience and safety features make it ideal for
the weekly school or work run while its tough 4WD system, powerful turbo-diesel engine and three-tonne towing capacity
are perfect for escaping to your favourite secret fishing spot for the weekend.”
The Challenger is offered in two model lines with the Challenger 4WD available with a choice of either five-speed
manual gearbox or optional Sports Mode five-speed automatic transmission with paddle shifters and INVECS II Smart
Logic.
The top of the range Challenger 4WD LS comes standard with the smooth five-speed automatic transmission.
All Challenger models are powered by Mitsubishi’s latest generation 2.5-litre common rail, direct injection
turbo-diesel engine. Generating a maximum power of 131kW at 4,000rpm, the engine uses a variable geometry turbocharger to
produce high torque at low speeds with the manual version delivering a maximum of 400Nm at 2,000rpm and the automatic,
350Nm at just 1,800rpm. Its combination of design and technology also makes the engine particularly fuel-efficient with
the manual version using just 8.3l/100km on the combined cycle and the automatic Challenger models posting a combined
fuel consumption figure of 9.8l/100km.
To ensure the engine’s strong power and torque gets where it is needed, the Challenger features Mitsubishi’s
rally-proven MATT (Mitsubishi All Terrain Technology) system that incorporates lockable centre and rear differentials and
Super Select 4WD for maximum traction and stability whatever the road conditions.

The Super Select 4WD system offers four modes of operation – rear two wheel drive (2H), full time 4WD (4H), high range
4WD with locked centre differential (4HLC) and low range 4WD with locked centre differential (4LLC) – with shifts on fly
between 2H and 4H able to be made at speeds up to 100km/h.
As a vehicle designed for use in both on-road and off-road situations, the Challenger uses a double wishbone coil
sprung front suspension combined with a 3-link coil spring rear suspension with stabiliser bars at both the front and
rear to ensure optimum comfort and off-road ability.
And when you do head off-road, the Challenger’s high 220mm ground clearance, 600mm fording depth, and 36-degree
approach/25-degree departure angles mean there is little terrain the Challenger can’t tackle.
On the outside, the Challenger maintains its stylish looks with a revised grille, front bumper and tail lamps
complementing the contemporary purposeful design that incorporates flared wheel arches, side steps, black roof rails and
alloy wheels (16” for Challenger 4WD and 17” for Challenger 4WD LS). The Challenger is available in a total of seven
exterior colours including Titanium, Cool Silver, Ironbark, Terra Rossa, Dark Blue, White and Black.
Inside the spacious five-seat cabin, the Mitsubishi Challenger provides a functional, ergonomic and well-designed lay
out with new black seat fabrics and carbon look trim accents and a new centre stack designed to house the latest
generation touch-screen audio and entertainment system.
The new four-speaker audio system comprises a 6.1” colour touchscreen that offers AM/FM radio, CD/MP3 player,
auxiliary and USB inputs with full iPod control, voice control and full Bluetooth® 2.0 connectivity for media streaming
and hands-free phone use. The range-topping LS model gains an extra two speakers and is also available with the optional
Mitsubishi Multi Communication System (MMCS) that uses a larger 7” colour touchscreen and adds satellite navigation with
3D mapping functionality.

The new touchscreen also provides a display for the upgraded rear view camera, which together with rear parking
sensors is standard on all Challenger models.
The audio system is just part of the long list of features that are fitted standard with the Challenger range offering
an extensive array of equipment including climate control with rear seat ducts, cruise control, remote central locking,
power windows and exterior mirrors, leather wrapped steering wheel with audio controls, centre console power socket, and
60/40-split fold and tumble rear seats.
Standard safety equipment includes six airbags, Multi-mode Anti-lock Braking System (ABS), Active Stability Control
(ASC), Active Traction Control (ATC), 3-point seatbelts for all positions with pretensioners and force limiters on the
front, child restraint anchorage points and ISOFIX child seat anchor points.
Step up into the Challenger 4WD LS model and it gains automatic rain sensing windscreen wipers, automatic dusk-sensing
lights, leather seat facings, power adjustable front seats, privacy glass, front fog lamps and a cargo blind for the rear
luggage space.
All Mitsubishi vehicles, including the 14MY Challenger, benefit from a five year/130,000 km new vehicle warranty, five
year Roadside Assist (for vehicles serviced by a Mitsubishi dealer in accordance with the stipulated conditions) and
Capped Price Servicing for the first four years or 60,000 km of ownership.
