Key Specifications & Features

Engine & performance

It uses the #4DR6 turbocharged diesel engine: displacement approx 2,659 cc (92.0 mm bore × 100.0 mm stroke) with compression around 17.5:1.
Power output quoted as around 94 PS (≈69 kW) at ~3,500 rpm.
Maximum torque approx 21.0 kg·m (~205.9 Nm) at about 2,000 rpm.
4×4 drive (part-time or selectable front axle depending on version), making it suitable for off-road/harder terrain use.

Fuel type: diesel. Commonly worn and used for robust usage rather than luxury or daily-commute comfort.

Body / chassis / use-case
Often seen in export markets as a “Safari” version, meaning it may have modifications such as soft-top or convertible tops, roof racks, open-air styling, simpler interiors. For example in Sri Lanka it is used for “jeep safari” tours.

Built on the #mitsubishi Jeep family (for example the J23 or J53 platform are cited for 4DR6 engine fitment).
Because of its age and rugged design, features are basic: manual transmission (often 4-speed), heavy-duty chassis, simple cabin. Example spec: length ~3,455 mm, width ~1,665 mm, height ~1,910 mm, wheelbase ~2,030 mm for one version.

Practical usage & market context

In Sri Lanka, the #4DR6 Safari Jeep is used for rental, tours and off-road use. E.g., one rental listing lists it as “Mitsubishi 4DR6 turbo diesel soft top jeep … very good with fuel economy (12 km per 1 L)” for rental in Negombo/Kalpitiya.

Because they are relatively rare, older, and built for rugged use, spare-parts availability, maintenance condition, and documentation are important when buying one in markets like Sri Lanka. A Reddit user noted:

Strengths & Considerations

Strengths:
Rugged, off-road capable vehicle, well-suited for safari-style use (open air, touring, off-road trails)
Diesel turbo engine gives decent torque for the era and for off-road applications
Simpler mechanics can mean easier to maintain in some markets (if parts are found)
Iconic and rare, so potential for collector/enthusiast interest

Considerations:

Fuel economy will not match modern SUVs; older engines, heavier body, off-road gearing. Despite some rental claims of 12 km/L, actual economy will vary heavily by condition, driving style, terrain.

Parts and servicing may be challenging depending on local market and whether engine/chassis have been modified or replaced.

The condition (rust, wear, modifications) is critical — many have been customised for safari or off-road use, which may affect reliability or authenticity. For instance a classified ad described full custom rebuild including new chassis, heavy-duty suspension, etc.

As an older vehicle, comfort, safety features, emissions compliance may be limited compared to modern vehicles.
