"Rough, tough and reliable, is the Mitsubishi Shogun not as comfortable or modern as many SUVs, but if you need a capable 4x4 with excellent off-road credentials, it is definitely worth considering. "

The Mitsubishi Shogun is a four wheel -drive SUV that - while a little dated - is not without its charm, especially when you need a capable off-road or towing carriage. Shogun is in short wheelbase (SWB) three-door long-wheelbase (LWB) five-door form. The five-door can accommodate seven and is roughly the same size as a Volkswagen Touareg or Land Rover Discovery. Although it is much cheaper than one of these cars, the Shogun is a 10-year-old model is now and it is starting to show its age. if you are for a robust SUV, it is still significantly cheaper than the similarly utilitarian Toyota Land Cruiser.
On a positive note, the Shogun is one of the most capable SUV in the sale. His hard subsoil, represent high ground clearance and clever all-wheel drive system can ford water to a depth of 700 mm, while mud, snow, rocks and pebbles are all dealt with easily. Cementing these high credentials is the towing capacity of the Shogun. The three-door model draw 3000 kg, while the LWB Fünftürer can pull 3500 kg thanks to its rugged construction and powerful engine
The Shogun comes with a 3.2-liter diesel engine, which is a far greater traction 197bhp and has produced than this figure suggests. While it is by means not a fast car from a standstill, it never feels underpowered in motion. The three-door takes 10.4 seconds from 0-62mph to go, while the five-door does the same in 11.1 seconds. Previously, it was possible to order a Shogun with a manual or automatic transmission; as it is approaching the end of its time in the sale, but the Shogun is now automatically protected.

The disadvantage of this position diesel engine (the only available) is that just like the Shogun, it is far from modern. Fuel consumption is inconspicuous, returns with the five-door only 30.4mpg and the three-door only this number of 1mpg improvement; high CO2 emissions mean both a whopping £ 500 in annual road tax cost also. Compare this (to run even a relatively expensive car) with the Volkswagen Touareg, which returns 42.8mpg and costs £ 210 per year tax, and it is clear that Mitsubishi is a long way up the pace with the current expenditure of the Shogun.
while the Shogun almost unbeatable off-road, during normal driving, it is quite uncomfortable and feels some agriculture when compared to the Touareg and Discovery. B-roads On winding the Mitsubishi noticeable developed body lean while bumps in the road because it wiggle unpleasantly. In fairness, many SUVs are exhilarating back roads winding, but the Shogun is not much better on the highway, where its loud engine, uncomfortable seats and noticeable wind noise make it a far drive from the recovery drive. But the Shogun has many loyal fans, thanks in part to his honest nature and go-anywhere capability.
Inside this situation but unrefined matter further. The Shogun dashboard feels well-composed and has a logical structure, but the plastics used are a little low-rent and the overall design is uninspiring. It can feel the driver at about the level of the Toyota Land Cruiser for the entire fit and finish, but Land Rover Discovery, as they have a step taken back to the time when they climb into a Shogun. The interior is spacious and the high ride height means the driver (although adults who find two third-row seats the five-door tight) and passengers get a great view of.

the three-door Shogun has a relatively small 20-liter boot, while the five- door model has an impressive 663 liters of storage space - even with all seven seats, it is shrunk to 221 liters. Note that the boot door opening laterally, which can be a pain in tight parking lots and garages.
The Shogun in different trim levels, is depending on the available, if you choose the three or five-door. The three-door starts to trim entry level SG2, with trim level known from as warriors and barbarians. The five-door model starts with SG2, but then moves through SG3 and SG4 trims on the top spec model SG5. All vehicles are equipped with alloy wheels, air conditioning, cruise control, LED running lights, bright xenon headlights, automatic wipers, Bluetooth phone connectivity and remote control, with leather trim standard on all but the entry-level SG2.
in terms of reliability, while the Shogun did not offer in our 2016 Driver Power customer satisfaction survey, it uses tried and tested mechanical parts should its rugged natural life. Definitely more of a gray area is: while all Shoguns come with mandatory equipment not available as electronic stability control, antilock brakes and ISOFIX child seat fastenings, more advanced systems such as automatic emergency braking. The Shogun was not NCAP crash test program prevail euros, so no official safety reviews are available.
