The core model within the Shogun family is available in two sizes – long and additional long – and is obtainable in some thirteen variations; contained in these are a few interesting transmission options, notably a clutchless manual which makes light work of shifting down and up the five ratios.

Permanent four wheel drive make sure that this latest generation continues the go-anywhere trustworthiness of earlier Shoguns, along with a newly-developed active suspension system creates surprisingly good on-road handling and stability.

The LWB Elegance model comes packed with extras including navigation along with a CD auto-changer.
