CHALLENGE THE WAY YOU LOOK AT SUVs

Introducing the all-new Mitsubishi Challenger - the next generation of SUV thinking. Challenger fuses the fun and comfort of urban driving with the toughness of off-road excitement.

When you buy a Mitsubishi Challenger, or any vehicle from our range, you’re buying a vehicle that’s backed by world-class research, technical innovation, and leading performance. In every area of our business, we’re continually focussed on four key values. By following these values, we never fail to create superior vehicles that people love.

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.

We don’t believe that you should have to fork out extra for air-conditioning, tinted side and rear windows, speed-sensing variable wipers, ABS or body-coloured bumpers. In this day and age, they’re what you should and can expect.

The same goes for the engine: there’s no need to settle for a basic unit when you can go straight to an all-alloy, MIVEC powerplant, designed to deliver maximum power with optimum fuel efficiency; especially since Mitsubishi have mated this brilliant engine with the latest driving technology – offering you the choice of a CVT (Continuously Variable Transmission) automatic, or a sporty European-designed 5-speed manual gearbox.

In fact, Colt is now recognised as setting new standards in small car performance, styling and equipment levels. The value packed Colt ES and VRX models give you the option of either manual or automatic.

The latest Colts also benefit from Mitsubishi Motors’ advanced passive safety system. Our Reinforced Impact Safety Evolution (or RISE, for short), means that you and your passengers are protected by world-leading, energy-absorbing chassis design and technology.

STORAGE

Clever storage areas throughout the cabin ensure there’s plenty of room for everything an active family could need. A handy, underfloor compartment in the seven seat option also provides extra storage when you really need it.

SEATING COMFORT

Challenger is available with leather facing front and second row seats while the driver’s seat is also power adjustable.

POWER WINDOWS

Challenger makes it easy to enjoy the scenery or to keep the weather outside at bay with the convenience of power windows. The driver’s window also has a convenient auto-up function.

CRUISE CONTROL

When it comes to travelling long distances for family getaways it’s important to be as comfortable as possible. Thanks to Challenger’s easy-to-use cruise control, you can stay relaxed on the open road, reduce fuel consumption and avoid the risk of accidental speeding. Simply set your specific speed, sit back and enjoy the drive.

SEATING CONFIGURATION

Challenger has plenty of room for the whole family with five seats and the option of a third row of two additional – seven comfortable seats. The front seats fully recline to provide a flat surface together with the rear seats. The second row seats have slide, recline and tumble-forward flexibility. This means you can easily create extra room when it’s needed, whether it’s for school bags, camping gear, sporting equipment, or even just everyday shopping. The third row seats have a recline function and can fold away to allow for extra luggage space.

Performance

POWERFUL TOWING CAPABILITY

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.

2.5L COMMON RAIL HI POWER TURBO DIESEL WITH VGT

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.

5 SPEED SPORTS MODE 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.

4WD

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.

Technology

MULTI INFORMATION DISPLAY

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.

MITSUBISHI MULTI COMMUNICATION SYSTEM (MMCS)

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.

CONNECT YOUR OWN MUSIC

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.

BLUETOOTH® PHONE CONNECTIVITY

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 POWER SOUND SYSTEM

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.

Safety

SIX SRS AIRBAGS

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.

RISE SAFETY

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.

VISIBILITY

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.

REVERSING CAMERA & REVERSING SENSORS

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.
