About the Mitsubishi Shogun Sport
The second-generation Shogun Sport (known globally as the third-generation Pajero Sport) arrived in the UK in 2018 as a rugged alternative to car-based family SUVs. Based on the L200 pick-up's ladder-frame chassis, it features the sophisticated Super Select II 4WD system with a locking centre differential and low-range gearing. While its on-road manners are often described as ponderous and unrefined compared to monocoque rivals, it excels in towing and serious off-roading. It served as a functional bridge in Mitsubishi's line-up until the brand's withdrawal from the UK market in 2021.

Mitsubishi Shogun Sport fun facts
- Despite the 'Shogun' name, this model is built on a completely different body-on-frame platform than the full-sized monocoque Shogun.
- Mitsubishi estimated that 90% of UK buyers would specify a tow bar, reflecting its status as a dedicated workhorse with a 3.1-tonne capacity.
- The 2.4-litre MIVEC engine uses an all-aluminium block and variable geometry turbocharging to balance torque and efficiency.
