Mitsubishi Shogun (07 on) - Review

Review by Simon Harris on
Last Updated: 29 March 2011
The Shogun is almost recognised as a brand in its own right and has been one of the stalwarts of the large 4x4 sector. For 2007 there was a (mostly) new model, bringing with it the most significant changes to the car since 2000. Still offered in compact three-door and roomy five-door versions the Shogun gains major updates to the interior, a revised diesel engine and improved safety. However, Mitsubishi has upgraded the Shogun conscious of the fact that plenty of customers still want a vehicle that is very capable off road - and as before it's virtually unstoppable on rough terrain.

Buying new

It may be worth asking for a modest discount on a new Shogun, as this is a competitive market place and there some good value large 4x4s around, such as the Nissan Pathfinder.

Buying used

Choose one that hasn't seen serious off-road use for peace of mind. Most used examples are expected to be long wheelbase Warrior models which are both useful and well equipped.

Selling

The Shogun is a well-known and respected 4x4, and should be easy to sell. There is no petrol version this time, which is a positive move as the vast majority of people interested in buying a used 4x4 want a diesel.
