Challenger. City Style Country tough

An enhanced variable geometry turbocharger (VGT) works to optimize the turbine flow rate in order to achieve high torque at low speeds and maximize power at high speeds. The result is excellent emission control, fuel efficiency and high engine power for superior performance. The 2.5 litre turbocharged diesel engine yields next generation quietness, smoothness and fuel efficiency, taking you further for less without compromise. An impressive 131kW of power and 400Nm of torque for the manual and 350Nm for the automatic.

Sports Mode allows you to enjoy the ease and comfort of an automatic, with the option of then switching to the versatility and control of a 5 speed manual without the use of a clutch pedal. The clutch free operation reduces the rev and torque loss usually associated with engaging gears, meaning you can maintain momentum in off-road situations. Combined with paddle shifts behind Challenger’s steering wheel, you can make quick gear changes without your hands leaving the wheel.

Challenger is equipped with a powerful 3,000kg towing capacity. The turbo diesel engine and full-time 4WD capability will make towing the boat, caravan or trailer a breeze.

The Rear Differential Lock is useful for negotiating low traction surfaces such as sand, mud, snow-covered or rocky surfaces or boat ramps. It locks the rear differential, which means that both rear wheels have an equal torque split, regardless of whether either wheel has traction – meaning maximum possible traction in different situations.

Challenger inherits all the 4WD-handling heritage from a long line of Mitsubishi rally champions. Superior to most 4WD systems the Challenger's Super Select 4WD offer full time 4WD with the option of four driving (2H, 4H, 4HLC, 4LLC). The Super Select 4WD system also offers the benefit of on-the-fly shifts from 2WD to 4WD high range at speeds of up to 100km/h.

Whether you're cruising down the highway or just going across town, 2H mode shifts you into rear-wheel drive for smooth, quiet, fuel-efficient performance.

When the weather turns bad and the road gets rough, get added traction in 4H mode. This has the flexibility of a centre-differential with viscous coupling unit, providing excellent traction in unpredictable road conditions or on volatile surfaces.

Keeping you on track in rugged or slippery conditions, 4HLC distributes power equally to all four wheels to meet off-road challenges with a steady sense of control.

Switch to 4LLC when you need all the tractor-like crawling power your Mitsubishi 4WD is capable of. Maximised low-end torque pulls you through even the roughest terrain, stickiest mud and deepest snow.
