Practicality rating: 3 out of 53.0

Written by Parkers Published: 6 June 2019

The robust Shogun Pinin has been designed to withstand most collisions, boasting a reinforced cabin for increased occupant protection and an energy absorbing front-end, which deliberately crumples to soak up the force of high impact accidents. Reassuringly, independent collision testing has shown that the Pinin’s body structure is one of the safest in its class, with the car receiving a commendable three-star Euro NCAP safety rating.

All models get ABS and driver and passenger airbags whilst the five-door Elegance model also has side airbags. Finally, the electronic engine immobiliser ensures that it is tricky to steal, as the engine will only start if the key’s unique ID matches the corresponding computer code, which is stored in the immobiliser.

As a true multipurpose vehicle, the Pinin is hindered by its inability at high-speeds on-road and, although its off-roading capabilities are impressive, it is impractical as a day-to-day runabout. Only available with a choice of petrol engines, the Pinin’s lack of diesel alternatives is disappointing and could put off potential buyers. There is a reasonable level of boot space and the rear seats are designed to maximise both cargo capacity and user versatility, but if you want real load carrying ability then simply choose a bigger car.
