Mitsubishi Shogun Sport COMMERCIAL joins the Shogun Sport range in the UK

The Mitsubishi Shogun Sport range grows in the UK with the arrival of the Shogun Sport Commercial, adding a proper CV workhorse to the UK options.

It took Mitsubishi a very long time to finally bring the Shogun Sport back to the UK, but having finally managed to do that they’re now extending the offering by offering a CV take – the new Mitsubishi Shogun Sport Commercial.

Revealed at the 2018 CV Show this week, the Shogun Sport Commercial does the obvious by removing the back seats to deliver a six-inch bulkhead and a flat floor load area, and blacking out the back windows so what’s being carried isn’t on show and looking untidy.

That new load area is a decent 1,500 litres, and the Shogun CV gets a 2.4 litre diesel engine with 178bhp, new 8-speed automatic and Mitsubishi’s Super Select II all-wheel drivetrain. It can also tow 3,100kg. So it’s a useful CV.

But despite being a CV, the Shogun Sport Commercial isn’t all hair shirt as it’s based on the range-topping Shogun Sport 4 spec, which means leather, LED lights, Climate, Keyless, auto lights and wipers headlight washers and 510W sound. There’s also Smartphone Link Display, which is Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatible, and a raft of safety stuff like Adaptive Cruise, Blind Spot, Collision Mitigation and more.
