Mitsubishi announces UK pricing and specification for the Shogun Sport SUV
The all-new seven-seat Shogun Sport will cost from £36,905 when it goes on sale in spring
The new Mitsubishi Shogun Sport will cost from £36,905 when it goes on sale in the UK in April.
Designed to be a more luxurious and spacious version of the off-road-focused Shogun, the Shogun Sport comes with four-wheel-drive, seven seats and an impressive suite of technology.
Pitched as a competitor to the likes of the Land Rover Discovery Sport and Skoda Kodiaq, the Shogun Sport gets leather upholstery, electrically adjustable front seats, LED lights all round and daytime running lights as standard on the ‘entry-level’ 3 trim.
Comfort and driver assistance features include dual-zone climate control, a reversing camera with parking sensors, keyless entry, and automatic headlights and wipers. Bluetooth is also standard, while Apple and Android phones can be connected through the Smartphone Link Display Audio system.
For an extra £2,000, buyers can opt for the 4 trim, which gets heated front seats, an upgraded sound system and headlamp washers. This trim also receives Mitsubishi’s advanced driver assistance technology, which includes adaptive cruise control, forward collision mitigation and blind spot warning. A 360-degree camera and parking sensors also feature.
There are three metallic colours available – Deep Bronze, Atlantic Grey and Sterling Silver – while Imperial Red and Polar White are available in pearlescent paint. Top-spec models can also choose the Cosmos Black pearlescent option.
Both trim levels are available with one engine – a 2.4-litre turbo-diesel unit making 179bhp and 430Nm of torque. Running costs are likely to be high, with Mitsubishi claiming an unimpressive 31.4mpg on the combined cycle, and CO2 emissions of 222g/km. By comparison, a Land Rover Discovery Sport achieves more than 50mpg, while the most efficient Skoda Kodiaq manages 56.5mpg.
As with all Mitsubishi models, the Shogun Sport comes with a five-year or 62,500-mile warranty. Prospective buyers can register their interest in the 4×4 now ahead of its spring launch.
