Mitsubishi Shogun Review
The Shogun was introduced in 1981 and enabled Mitsubishi to become a serious contender in the 4x4 market. Winning the Paris-Daker rally in 1984 affirmed the Shogun's legendary status and twenty-three years later the Mitsubishi Shogun is bigger and better than ever before. The extensive Shogun range offers both long and short wheel base versions, choice of petrol or diesel engines and manual or automatic transmissions.
The current Shogun model range encompasses seven models and one special edition. Prices start at £22,999.00 OTR for the 3.2 DI-D Equippe Manual (Diesel SWB) and rise to £31,499.00 OTR for the 3.5 GDI Warrior Automatic (Petrol LWB). We tested the 3.2 DI-D Warrior Automatic (Diesel LWB) priced at £31,499.00 OTR.
