Fuel economy

A more stringent standard for fuel economy (WLTP) was introduced from September 2017, and this model was not required to undergo that test. Its fuel economy measured under the previous test system was 16 - 28 mpg. However these figures are less likely to be achievable in real world driving and so should never be compared to another car's mpg which was measured under the newer, more realistic WLTP system.

Not cheap to run. It’s expensive to service and insure and even the diesel is quite thirsty. If you’ve bought new, then depreciation is rather harsh, too, for a 4x4 – buyers prefer the ‘proper’ Shogun or cheaper Shogun Pinin.

Shogun Sport is a polluting model. With an average of 289 g/km CO2 across the range, its emissions are high for a large 4x4. However, it’s worth noting that the line up has a high number of diesel models, bringing the average down and giving buyers more choices of low-emission versions. Diesels typically produce less CO2 than petrol engines with similar power outputs.

The range is disappointingly thirsty, averaging 23 mpg.

Mechanically robust, but the interior isn’t so well built and shows its age quickly.
