The MITSUBISHI SHOGUN (2000-07) 3DR STATION WAGON 3.5 GDI GLS AUTO is a short-wheelbase, three-door SUV: a sizeable, high-riding 4x4 rather than a family hatchback. In the UK used-car market, it appeals to buyers wanting a rugged, distinctive alternative to mainstream SUVs, especially for towing, country trips or getting around rougher roads. Its 3.5-litre petrol engine and automatic gearbox deliver easy, relaxed progress, while the commanding view and substantial build give it a more purposeful feel than many soft-road rivals. The three-door layout is less convenient for rear passengers, and running costs can be higher than smaller SUVs, so it suits drivers prioritising presence and capability over economy. mycarcheck.com records 32 checks across nine VINs, a small sample; averages show £1,200 private-sale value, 96,000 miles and 2,000 miles driven yearly. The 6.5 previous keepers average makes checking each vehicle’s history especially worthwhile before buying this unusual Shogun in person first.
