Mitsubishi's new 2012 Shogun arrives in the UK this week.

It now comes with a Euro V compliant turbo diesel engine and offers a choice of either three door short-wheel base or five door long-wheel base versions.

Like its predecessor, the Mitsubishi Shogun is immediately distinguished by its redesigned bold front grille - incorporating a short front overhang, upright windscreen, strong high flanks, flared wheel-arches and rear-mounted spare wheel - all key Shogun styling cues that underline its off-road ability.

As well as the three and five door options, Shogun buyers will have a choice of a four model line-up - the SG2, SG3, SG4 and the familiar Warrior which, in terms of specification will sit above the SG2.

As always, the Shogun comes packed with an array of standard safety and luxury equipment. In addition to the re-designed front grille, all variants will benefit from new 18" alloy wheels.

Prices for the new model year Mitsubishi Shogun range from £29,499 for the entry level SG2 model and rise to £40,999 for the higher specification SG4 model.
