Mitsubishi Reviews with Road Tests
Friday 4th July 2008
The fourth generation Shogun went on sale in February 2007 and Mitsubishi tells us that this latest version is not so much a facelift but more of an ‘evolution’, with over 70 per cent of the components renewed. Rather than going soft, when it came to the latest incarnation, MMC retained the rugged, off-road character that has served the company so well, resulting in no less than 12 Paris-Dakar rally wins. the full review

On sale since the 1st March 2006 - the all-new Mitsubishi L200 starts at £12,462 for the 4Work 4WD single cab and raises to £22,512 + VAT for the range topping double cab Diamond. Mitsubishi targets two markets with the L200 - starting with the 4Work range which is aimed directly at the no-nonsense business user and the 4Life range which is designed for the lifestyle user, who might use their L200 during the day for work and then at the weekend for domestic duties and family life. The L200 is available in three body styles ( single, club and double-cab) and is based on the Dakar Rally inspired rally raid Shogun/Pajero Evolution, which has won the Dakar Rally no less than 12 times. Mitsubishi has sold 53,000 of the previous L200 model in the UK since 1998 and expects the new L200 to sell in higher volumes. the full review
