The Mitsubishi Challenger, called Mitsubishi Pajero Sport in most export markets, Mitsubishi Montero Sport in Spanish-speaking countries (including North America), Mitsubishi Shogun Sport in the UK and Mitsubishi Nativa in Central and South Americas (the Challenger name was also used in Australia), is a medium sized SUV built by the Mitsubishi Motors Corporation.
The Challenger began production in Japan in 1996. It was available for most export markets by 1997, and is still built as of 2006, although it's no longer available in its native Japan since the end of 2003 and in North America since 2004.
Despite sharing the name with the Pajero, it's not built on the same platform, but rather on that of the Mitsubishi L200 pick-up truck and the second generation Mitsubishi Delica cargo van. It does share similar petrol V6 and Diesel I4 with the Pajero, as well as the Super Select 4WD system, but unlike its bigger sibling, it's not available with a short wheel base chassis, it has a base 2WD version in North America, and doesn't have the same all-terrain driving abilities, being better oriented for road use or as a family vehicle.
The Montero Sport was replaced in Japan by the Outlander and in North America by the Galant-based Endeavor, although its proper place in the Mitsubishi lineup will only be filled by the second generation Outlander, which will become available outside Japan from the second half of 2006.
