Is the Mitsubishi Challenger a 4WD or SUV?
It’s a genuine 4WD, not merely an SUV. As before, Challenger shares many components with the rugged Mitsubishi Triton pickup and so gives it the off-road toughness that stood out on our road test review. Challenger has a different rear suspension setup to the Triton to provide the comfort to carry passengers.

Where is the spare wheel on a Mitsubishi Challenger?
At the rear, the tail-lights are high mounted and the lift-up tailgate is handy for easy loading (the full-size spare wheel is mounted underneath, not on the rear door). Mitsubishi provided a variety of Challenger models for testing on the roads between Brisbane and the Gold Coast via the mountains of the Coast’s beautiful hinterland.
How tall is the Mitsubishi Challenger mid Sizer?
Mitsubishi’s mid-sizer is 4,695mm long and 1,815mm wide (very similar to the Toyota Kluger and Kia Sorento). However, supporting its genuine off-road ability, the Challenger rides on 17-inch alloy wheels and offers a high ground clearance of 220mm – so its overall height is 1,840mm.

What’s the biggest complaint about a Mitsubishi Challenger?
The biggest complaint from owners is that the standard seats are too firm and uncomfortable over longer journeys. That’s especially true of the rear seats which are not only firm but feature a very upright backrest. There was only one engine offered in this vehicle, a 2.5-litre turbo – diesel four-cylinder.
