Not all large, luxurious family-sized 4x4s have to be pretend off-roaders, really more tarmac-orientated. Here's a five or seven-seater contender that really can cut it when the going gets rough and has a proper 4x4 heritage with a badge you can trust in this sector. This fourth generation Mitsubishi Shogun offers loads of space, decent value for money and an unstoppable feel and we look at it here in the improved form which launched in 2012 and formed the basis for the car which continued to sell until 2019. Though a Shogun can't match the road-going prowess and interior class of German large SUV rivals, it's more practical than any of them. Authentic, capable and very tough, it'll probably out-last you.
History
Mitsubishi likes to see its Shogun as the 'original' large 4x4, an SUV tough enough to venture where others feared to tread, yet offering the interior luxury of a high-end saloon. Back in 1982 when it was first launched, it was the only real option for those unwilling to stretch up to a Range Rover and sold in prodigious numbers until the Nineties arrived along with a host of new rivals, nearly all prioritising a smoother roadgoing experience. It took until the new millennium for the Shogun to make any real attempt to sharpen up its act on tarmac and even then, it continued to buck the luxury 4x4 trend by prioritising ultimate go-anywhere ability over ultimate road going response.

Off road first on road second ✔ can be maintained and worked on at home. Just got one. Flipping awesome.

[@chrro466]

Best 4x4 I’ve owned. Never getting rid of my NT.

[@gearhead598]

My Dream SUV. Will buy a used one next year.

[@totome2206]

I bought a second hand Pajero 4 2016 for towing horses and for its simplicity, no bells and whistles, just what you need for a very long time.

[@lindabown7810]

We love our 2006 pajero, all kitted out for camping off grid here in Western Australia 🇦🇺

[@chrro466]

No one takes BMW / Audi/ Range Rovers off road in OZ !! Because you won’t be driving it back. Keep them in your shopping centre car park.

[@josephbwire8692]

Well said..I have owned Range Rovers but it's been fun and trouble plus expensive fixes

[@SouthlandFlyer]

Got a 13' model Paj 4 LWB recently, with the 3.2DiD. Loved it so much we got a second one. Love its simplicity, value and ability to get the job done and yes, it seems from looking around that they last very well. The 3.2D is surprisingly good on fuel open road driving, getting around 8L/100km

[@karl4834]

I have the same model and understand your appreciation of it, but 8l per 100km seems a little fanciful🤔

[@SouthlandFlyer]

@karl4834 not at all. When they are stock and driven for economy on the open road we got both down to 7.3/100km. I've now got offroad bias 32" all terrains on and a 2 inch lift, and it sits more around 8.5-9 open road. Definetely best to leave stock for good economy, mods seem to have a big impact.

[@BlackRootsUNLIMITED]

Team Mitsubishi Pajero! I've been driving them since 1996! Pajeros 1, 2 and now the Pajero 3 which I drive 👌🏿 Greetings from Uganda 🇺🇬👊🏿🖤

[@gordonbarclay6106]

I have the 2009 LWB Elegance and I love it..

[@nyzz1351]

Got the 3.8 v6 petrol version, love going desert camping with it.

[@bjjalp3606]

Which country

[@rossawood5075]

The build quality of the Pajero, Montero is superb, corrosion protection is excellent and the 3.2 liter diesel has a surprising amount of torque, the Super Select automatic is one of the best transmission systems available These last forever if given reasonable servicing and will give far less trouble than Landrover or BMW offerings. As a previous commenter stated you won't see too many X5 BMW's in our Australian outback, nor many Landrover offerings either, too many Discovery's return on the back of a truck, broken cranks, problematic electricals. Landcruisers, Nissan Patrols and Rangers, Isuzu D'max and Pajeros are common and considered more reliable than most Euro offerings. Just my take!

[@user-ur6bw1ub6d]

I have owned two of them 2013 and 2018 3.8 here in Dubai. Amazing vehicle, which can pretty much do everything well. The only negative thing I can say is that the cabin can rattle (interior door plastic, dashboards, etc) even at very low speeds on smooth roads. Has anyone found a solution to this?

[@philnomads4wd154]

Thank you for a perfect review video for a 4x4 offroad legend!!! We have been using Pajero since the '90s up to this present, never let us down in any terrain we've been in. Pajero for life❤🏆🏁

[@CarandDrivingCarReviews]

Glad it was helpful!

[@philnomads4wd154]

@@CarandDrivingCarReviews Yes definitely👍 currently I'm using a Gen 2 and Gen 3 and hoping to purchase a Gen 4 once we moved to the UK

[@paulvandamme1028]

so we do!!! all together 600.000 km without any trouble

[@SoorinSeptimiuCooman]

I am driving a Pajero from 2009 (second one) and now in 2023 works perfect ! In mean time I use to “save” some cars from snow or mud in different holliday situations.

[@riotinto1662]

First time I used Pajero was 2001 . Now using Gen 4. More affordable then Toyotas

[@DocGTO]

Love my 1995 SR and 2002 Limited

[@johnlaw4513]

I always had Isuzu troopers and I needed a change ,the shogun was the best replacement.

[@toninocars]

This 4x4 looks better than many latest makes and models Shame really they had stopped making these Toyota new land cruiser seems like a good alternative

[@user-el9jr5zy6z]

I bought it new, in 2020.The mileage today is 55,000 km. I don't need a better car. He's forever!

Love this beast. I’ve been driving one for 5 years. Nice vid!

thanks!

[@madmonster5182]

Very nice car I have been on Pajeros since year 2000, the 2004, 2006, 2014 and 2018 all seem to be very long lasting and solid only thing that you need to know it’s a cow when it come to fuel economy 😢

[@user-el9jr5zy6z]

They don't save on emotions.

[@Herrebaaen]

Love it! Want one..

[@allanmaccaul1465]

No idea..😅 you can definitely throw them into corners at high speed with lots of confidence... They handle brilliant on tarmac, you can also use 4H up to full speed, i never use 2H and daily drive up near 150kph .

[@hash5820]

Europe's Mitsubishi Shogun is same as GCC Mitsubishi Montero. In GCC specs . Which has 3800 cc MIVEC petrol engine which create 298 horse power. Now about the secrets people won't say & why Mitsubishi worth every penny you spend at that time ( coz i owned Toyota & Nissan too ) Secrets.. other vehicles at the same segment. Was built on chasis but this particular vehicle was built in with monocoque body..( no seperate chassis )& to increase more speed & torque this montero's front bonnet was made in Aluminium. Third row seat is hidden as you see.. but very people know that we can take it out and use it in picnic or in park too. Entire seats Mitsubishi Pajero Montero model from the 1st model onwards can be used as full fledge bed for two. Base option will get a 10 seat & full option will get 7 seat leather interior with tiny mood light on roof. In full option vehicles you will get Rockford Acoustic design with minimum 10 speakers & a custom made Sub woofer on rear left plus additional 2 speakers in back door for camping. Moon roof is double the size. Plus you will get 20inch wheel in full option from 2017 onwards. Tricks... While driving if you put in mannual mode this huge vehicle handle Conners like a sports car.. (awesome feeling). In mannual mode if you put the car on 2nd gear on a steep or a slop while stand still engine break will activate. This vehicle comes with built in Tow hook ( full option).. the towing capacity is equal to its engine cc . Means a 3000 cc Mitsubishi can tow 3 ton easily etc etc. Mitsubishi Pajero Montero or Shogun can use 2H mode to 4H mode even while you travel at the speed of 100+ km/hr . This vehicle shock absorber is so good that you can travel on road humps ( except flat top) at the speed of 120 km/hr. There is a tractor crawling button( in full option) if you stuck in sand as an additional button next to R/D lock ...which make the vehicle crawl outside of that situation itself( though first timers will get scared of the noise it produce😅) by just giving acceleration. ( But best feature no other 4x4 had at that time)

[@waza3350]

298hp for the Pajero 3.8 ??? No way, I have a GCC Pajero 3.8 and it produce "only" 250 on paper even less in reality (for the GCC spec at least). And in Europe the 3.8 is extremly rare, it's mostly the 3.2 that you will found on the market. But I agree, it was the best 4x4 for the money. Competitor would be Prado and it cost sometime 3 time more for the same job....

[@ctznx9039]

I have always wanted a practical reliable friend I guess I found it

[@josephtembo3489]

Pajero is a true legend

[@brandongoberdhan6335]

Love it ❤

[@Lyon_flightfilms]

wonder why Shogun isn't supplied with Rear Diff lock like standard Pajero is (that dummy, left to seat-heat buttons in 10:24 - should be with R\D lock button). This is nice OEM 5th option for an off-road

[@Pmooli]

I have a manual gear with diff lock.

[@shaungilmartin1505]

get it undersealed,watch for aircon pipes(common fault)

[@janndee6826]

I've watched 'em all, its the same script for all your shogun 2006-2019 reviews.

[@roovioroovio1009]

i went from a 94 2.8 pajero to a 2011 range rover sport, 3 years ago oddly enough i miss the pajero/shogun... dont get me wrong the wrong the range rover is luxurious and handles the road so much better but... i still see shoguns and think yeah id get another 1

[@danielinacar]

So nobody has a damn thing to say about this

[@sachinthasenadheera2382]

[@JohnFrumFromAmerica]

Those wheels are not good for offroading
