All new Mitsubishi Shogun Sport to go on sale in the U.K. in early 2018

Mitsubishi Motors has announced that the all new Mitsubishi Shogun Sport will go on sale in the U.K. early in 2018. The Shogun Sport will be the second major model launch for the brand next year in the U.K., following the arrival of the Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross in January. It will further strengthen the manufacturer's sport utility vehicle offering, complementing the existing ASX, Outlander, L200 and Shogun models together with the forthcoming Eclipse Cross.

Engineered to comfortably negotiate the most demanding of terrain and built for the most extreme family adventures, the seven-seat Mitsubishi Shogun Sport utilises an advanced drivetrain that allows it to mirror the outstanding off-road performance of the iconic, go-anywhere Mitsubishi Shogun.

Power is provided by a lightweight 2.4-litre diesel engine, which produces 180bhp and maximum torque of 430Nm at only 2,500rpm, mated to an all new eight-speed automatic transmission and driving through the Super Select II all-wheel drive system. The standard specification also includes features such as Hill Descent Control, Trailer Start Assist, Hill Start Assist and a dedicated off-road mode, which will allow a choice of driving modes that can be selected to suit differing types of terrain.
