Mitsubishi Challenger RWD 2WD SUV

The new Challenger rear-wheel drive SUV joins the front wheel drive variant of Outlander.

Two-wheel drive SUVs are enjoying a popularity boom as buyers realise they don't really need all wheel drive but like the looks and practicality of an SUV.

And like many of Mitsubishi's 2012 models, a reversing camera is available for the two-wheel drive diesel automatic Challenger through the Convenience Pack which retails for $3,640 and also includes side and curtain airbags to improve vehicle safety.

Challenger is powered by a 2.5-litre turbodiesel engine and with the choice of five speed manual or automatic transmission, Challenger 2WD uses  8.2 litres/100km and 9.6 litres/100km respectively and has a three tonne towing capacity.

A reversing camera is now a standard feature for the four-wheel drive LS and XLS models, with the camera monitor appearing automatically in the electro-chromatic rear view mirror when reverse gear is engaged to enhance driver visibility and awareness.

Cabin comfort and convenience has been improved with the 2012 model.
