As we expected, the company havestayed with their winning formula as faras chassis, suspension and power trainare concerned and concentrated insteadon updating the body style. For instance,there’s a new, more dynamic lookingfront end to liven things up,distinguished by a deeper moreintegrated grille. There's also Smarthorizontal LED daytime running lightsand xenon headlights to complete thelook.The interior has also received attentionand, in addition to subtle style changes,there's an upgraded infotainment system- although in our book this was alreadyclass leading with its reversing camera,sat nav, and the great sound it gave onceyou had it set up correctly. The higher trim levels get either ablack or beige leather interior andautomatic high-beam system for theheadlights, while all automatictransmission models receive improvedsound-proofing too. But while creature comforts areimportant to buyers, it’s the Shogun’scapability that makes it a winner. Fourdriving modes - all easy to select,with nofaffing - make this a very versatilevehicle. With a choice of rear wheeldrive, full time four-wheel drive, four-wheel with a locking centre diff and low-range gearing for more extreme off-roaduse, it’s hard to think of a terrain orweather that the Shogun wouldnt beable to cope with.As you'd expect the Shogun also has ahuge amount of pulling power, so it's anideal choice for those who want to toweven the largest caravan or horsebox.The gearboxes have low ratios for addedgrip and the option of a rear differentiallock is an essential choice for mudpluggers.On tarmac, the Shogun rises to thechallenge; a comfortable cruiser withlittle discernible wind or road noise. Thefact that you’re sat in such an elevatedposition also affords a commanding viewof the road ahead and all round visibilityis one of the best in its class.Traction and stability control systemscome as standard across the range whichshould help keep drivers out of trouble.Anti-lock brakes with electronicbrakeforce distribution also ensures morestable stopping power so none of thatlurching you get with some 4x4s Amazingly, prices range from £26,000through to £37,000 for the rangetopping model - significantly less thanmany rival marques and, at the risk ofsounding like we’re on the payroll ofMitsubishi, makes you wonder howthey've managed it! 82-83:Layout 1 13/10/14 13:04 Page 2animation, music and some ofFielding’s best-known TV characterssuch as The Full Moon and FantasyMan.
