DI-D is Mitsubishi’s latest diesel and gives acceptable fuel economy. Servicing and parts are expensive. Shogun remains desirable and depreciates more slowly than many rivals.

Shogun is a polluting model. With an average of 276 g/km CO2 across the model line-up, 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 quite thirsty, averaging 26 mpg.

Shogun reputation is built on dependability under tough conditions so expect this generation to be good for 15-20 years and diesels to last 250,000-plus miles.
