Mitsubishi Shogun 3.2 DI-DC Elegance: One Minute Test Drive

Date: 10 September 2010   |   Author:

Category: Large 4x4
P11D price: £34,999
Key rival: Toyota Land Cruiser

What's new: Mitsubishi has made some significant changes to its big off-roader, with the 3.2-litre diesel now 18%?more powerful at 197hp yet 20%?more economical for the automatic at 224g/km.

Excellent: The five-speed automatic is one of the smoothest-shifting around, and doesn't go hunting for the right gear like most autos tend to. The Shogun's off-road reputation is also well-founded.

Good: The Shogun's rugged looks remain, and there's plenty of space front to back. The foldaway third row of seats are standard, as, in this mid-spec Elegance trim, are reversing camera, parking sensors and Bluetooth phone connection.

Average: Although Mitsubishi claims class-leading emissions, the 224g/km figure for the auto is still in the top tax banding.

Poor: There's no disguising that the Shogun is a big vehicle, and changing direction on wet roundabouts needs to be undertaken delicately. The refinement levels are also disappointing.

Verdict: Big and useful off-road and for towing, but despite improvements the Shogun is still a bit old-school.
