New Mitsubishi Challenger.

Features

Street Presence

When you're a busy family your day can be hectic. You're always in and out of the car, running multiple errands and transporting anything from school bags to surf boards. We know that when it comes to doing all this, you want to be comfortable. You want a car you can rely on, feel confident and relaxed in, and be proud of when you sit behind the wheel.

It's for these reasons that we designed the new, versatile Mitsubishi Challenger. Challenger's stylish new design fuses Mitsubishi's proven 4WD credibility with the sleek and refined lines of a sporty SUV. The result is a vehicle that looks comfortable anywhere you are - whether it's an innercity street, a busy freeway, or a remote rocky coastline. Available in a well-presented LS and a premium XLS model, it has a spacious versatile interior that will make driving a pleasure. Under the bonnet, you'll find a fuel-efficient, 2.5L intercooled turbocharged Diesel Engine with the very latest in Mitsubishi's Common Rail Direct Fuel injection system. And thanks to Mitsubishi's Super Select 4WD system, you can cross from city streets to the great outdoors with the flick of a lever.

Performance

Challenger is equipped with a powerful 2,500kg towing capacity. The turbo diesel engine and full-time 4WD capability will make towing the boat, caravan or trailer on your next family adventure a breeze. Challenger offers the latest in Common Rail turbo diesel technology. An enhanced variable geometry turbocharger (VGT) works to optimize the turbine flow rate in order to achieve high torque at low speeds and maximised 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, with 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.

Challenger is seriously 4WD capable thanks to its advanced 4WD system. Enjoy the confidence of knowing that whatever the destination you want to escape to with your family, Challenger will be up for the challenge.

Safety

To provide essential protection for your family in the event of a collision, Challenger is fitted with driver and front passenger, side and curtain SRS airbags. The side airbags inflate from the side of the seat to protect the torso while curtain airbags activate from the roof to protect the head. The front seatbelt systems also include pretentioners and force limiters that combine to minimise the potential for serious injury in the event of a collision.

At the heart of any integrated safety system is outstanding design. The Mitsubishi Reinforced Impact Safety Evolution (RISE) design combines an energy absorbing front section with a strong, rigid occupant cell to provide outstanding family protection in the event of an accident. The RISE body is coupled with a rigid ladder frame, side impact bars, and collision absorbing joints.

Challenger gives you the confidence of a high driving position that provides you a commanding view of the traffic conditions ahead. Large electric rear view mirrors and a reversing camera provide excellent visibility behind. In addition, rear parking sensors provide complete confidence and reassurance when reversing.

The MMCS reversing camera supports the driver's rear field of view, automatically appearing on screen when the reverse gear is engaged. In conjunction with the reversing sensors, which alert you when you are getting close to objects, it makes parking in tight spots a breeze. It also offers safety and peace of mind when you are backing in and out of driveways.

Advanced Technology

Available only on the LS model the LED Multi Information Display provides handy vehicle information such as fuel consumption, a trip computer and outside temperature functions. You can configure the display to show you exactly the information you want. MMCS (MULTI COMMUNICATION SYSTEM) is an integrated communication and media system that provides satellite navigation, audio control, DVD function and a host of other features, controlled via the 7" full colour in dash touch screen. MMCS also shows audio settings with digital display for equaliser, surround sound and listening positioning.

Incorporating the latest technology to make every drive a pleasure, the MMCS is iPod compatible - which means you can connect, charge and play your iPod with dealer fitted accessory. Challenger also has an audio input jack allowing you to connect and play MP3 whenever you like.

Challenger has the latest Bluetooth phone connectivity that allows you to operate calls using the vehicle's audio system. Make and receive calls via the MMCS touch screen allowing you to stay focused on the road ahead.

Mitsubishi's exclusive sound system delivers high power audio output throughout the interior via a 420W high power amp, and 8 speakers including 4 tweeters. Speakers are placed for optimal sound balance and maximum enjoyment of all occupants from front to rear.
