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.

Running costs

The Shogun is priced competitively against rivals like the Toyota Land Cruiser and average fuel consumption up to about 30mpg is fairly typical of a large 4x4. The Shogun will typically shed about 50% or so of its original cost after three years, which isn't bad for this type of car.
