Mitsubishi announces Shogun Sport UK spec and pricing

Priced from £36,905 the Shogun Sport is based on the L200 and sits in the Mitsubishi line-up between the Outlander and full-blown Shogun, filling a much-needed niche. The model offers seven-seat versatility with up to 1,488 litres of boot space with the rear seat folded.

Just one engine will be offered – a 181bhp 2.4-litre turbo diesel combined with Mitsubishi’s selectable all-wheel drive system and a new, eight-speed automatic transmission. Standard spec also brings Hill Descent Control, Trailer Start Assist (TSA), Hill Start Assist (HSA) and a dedicated off-road mode.

Two trim levels will be offered: Shogun Sport 3 and Shogun Sport 4. Standard kit includes keyless entry with push-button start, reversing camera with rear parking sensors, leather upholstery, electrically-adjustable front seats, power folding mirrors, dual-zone climate control and LED head and tail-lights. On-board tech includes standard Bluetooth connectivity with music streaming and Mitsubishi’s Smartphone Link Display Audio.

As with the rest of the Mitsubishi range, Shogun Sport has a five-year/62,500-mile warranty.
