4x4s

THE SHO MUST GO ON

Mitsubishi's Shogun has been a seemingly constant fixture amongst family-sized 4x4s. Here Andy Enright takes a look at the latest version.

SHOGUN DYNASTY

Mitsubishi's Shogun has never made any apologies for being a tough customer. Maybe that's why its flagship three-door model is called Warrior. Jonathan Crouch reports.

A SHOGUN BY ANY OTHER NAME

The latest model year makeover for Mitsubishi's evergreen 4x4 tweaks the look, engine and model names. But is that enough? David Vivian takes a closer look at the top-spec SG3 model.

OUT FOR THE COUNT?

The Mitsubishi Outlander has often been a 4x4 that never quite got the success it warranted. Andy Enright wonders whether the third generation car can change that.

AND NOW FOR SOMETHING COMPLETELY DIFFERENT

URBAN JUNGLE CRUISER

Mitsubishi brings a large dose of 4x4 credibility to the Crossover party. Jonathan Crouch tests the latest volume 1.8-litre 2WD diesel version

AS EXPECTED?

The Mitsubishi ASX is the compact crossover that you probably left off your shortlist. Does the latest improved version deserve your attention? Andy Enright reports.

MINI has taken its youthful retro persona to the crossover 4x4 market with the Countryman. Jonathan Crouch takes a look at the latest much improved version with its cleaner engines and smarter interior.

A WEEK IN THE COUNTRY

COUNTRY CODE

It might not delight MINI purists, but the the Countryman is going down well with UK buyers and the Cooper SD versions are the pick of the bunch. Andy Enright tries one.

MINI REDEFINED

The Countryman is the largest car ever to wear a MINI badge, but is there room for improvement? Jonathan Crouch reports.
