Fuel economy

A more stringent standard for fuel economy (WLTP) was introduced from September 2017, and this model was not required to undergo that test. Its fuel economy measured under the previous test system was 26 - 36 mpg. However these figures are less likely to be achievable in real world driving and so should never be compared to another car's mpg which was measured under the newer, more realistic WLTP system.

The Shogun is priced competitively against rivals like the Toyota Land Cruiser and an average fuel consumption of up to about 30mpg is fairly typical of a large 4×4, so Mitsubishi Shogun running costs shouldn’t be bad. 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.

Mitsubishi Shogun emissions aren’t great. The Shogun is a moderately polluting model with emissions of 207g/km of CO2 and economy of 36.2mpg for three-door manual models.

Five door models are only slightly worse with the manual version putting out 213g/km of CO2 and averaging 34.9mpg.

Plenty of the original 1983 vintage Shoguns are still running and Mitsubishi Shogun reliability should be excellent as a result. Large 4x4s are expected to be reliable because they may well be used in remote areas where a breakdown or fault is more than a mere inconvenience. The new model, retaining most of the mechanical parts of the previous model, should be well proven and dependable.
