2017 Mitsubishi Shogun Sport (UK)
The Indianautosblog's reader Mark
has captured the first spy shots of the 2017 Mitsubishi Shogun Sport in the UK,
which indicates that the company is indeed planning a UK launch. Mark spotted
this vehicle in Twickenham over a couple of days, and reckons its imported for
both homologation and customer clinics.
The SUV bears the ‘Pajero Sport’ nameplate on the
tailgate, but the registration plate reads ‘Shogun Sport’. It was reported
earlier this year that the Triton/L200 based SUV could go on sale in the
country in November, but that deadline may not be met.
The Mitsubishi Pajero Sport, also sold as the
Mitsubishi Montero Sport, is available with three engines internationally: 4D56 134 hp 2.5-litre diesel, 4N15 178 hp 2.4-litre diesel
and 6B31 215 hp/206 hp 3.0-litre petrol. R5MB1/V5MB1
5-speed manual, R5AWF 5-speed automatic, R6M5A/V6M5A 6-speed manual and
R8AWG/V8AWG 8-speed automatic are the transmission choices.
In the UK, the 2017 Mitsubishi Shogun Sport could be
offered with the 178.28 hp 2.4-litre diesel engine in unison with the
new 8-speed automatic transmission and the Super-Select 4WD-II four-wheel drive
system. It will be positioned between the Outlander and Shogun (Montero),
putting its price between £ 26,000 and £ 28,000.
