Mitsubishi Shogun

The original Shogun was a cheaper alternative to prestige 4x4s. This latest range squares up against Discovery on price and features. The new generation direct-injection turbo-diesel and petrol engines perform well and suit the stylish, big bodies. Reliability so far seems to be as good as the original.
