Prado to the Mitsubishi
Challenger otherwise known as the Pajero Sport else where in the world. It's engines and frame and other cosmetic interior and front suspension are shared with the Triton but the rear end suspension have been replaced by more passenger friendly technology according to the press material. It seats also up to 7... For 2011 The base Challenger's price was reduced by about $3000 which means its a very well priced especially when you consider that it is a real 4WD and can seat 7. |

This car is not a direct competitor to the Prado since it is smaller. I've put up the page for interest only purposes. After all it is a traditional 4WD and clearly more off-road orientated than the regular small SUVs you can buy and vaguely similar in concept to the Prado. The interior is a spec'ed up version of the Triton which is OK for a commercial pickup but needs more plush materials for a passenger car. The 'plastic wood' is just unnecessary. Mind you the bonus of having a commercial truck based interior means you can customize it more easily your self as demonstrated by what they've done to the essentially standard Triton trim. The engines available for the Challenger Sport are the same as those for the Triton utility but seemingly modified. So they are decent enough in this respect. We have driven the Triton so expect a similar experience namely small truck like its not the 'smooth' and a world away from the Prado diesel or petrol. One thing interesting about the Challenger is that I think it looks much better in real life than it does in pictures. Overall I think its a great smaller 4WD alternative to the larger 4WD. If you're thinking of the Challenger consider the
Suzuki Grand Vitara as well. The Grand Vitara may be smaller again but more refined for suburban use yet capable off-road. |

Although we've already driven the Triton haven't tried the latest Challenger yet however we expect the same sort of experience.
