Mitsubishi Shogun Review
Published: 18th November 2004
Mitsubishi Shogun Warrior
How It Looks - Interior
The interior styling is as you would expect of Mitsubishi stylish, functional and uncluttered with chunky and tactile switchgear. The cabin is well crafted and features good quality grey and black plastics with metallic effect contrasting trim.
Black leather seat facings are standard and accentuate the Shogun's well appointed interior. The black carpet was of a good quality and should prove durable in the long term.
In Car Entertainment and Satellite Navigation
The Shogun Warrior is fitted with a 10 CD autochanger, stereo radio/cassette with 6 speakers as standard. The sound was a bit dull and it was not the easiest of systems to use.
For 2004 'Smartnav' navigation system is fitted as standard on the long wheel base Shogun Warrior.
Our test vehicle also featured optional DVD Satellite Navigation.
