2012 Mitsubishi Shogun

The 2012 Model Mitsubishi Shogun is coming soon to Devonshire Motors, to wet your appetite here are some preliminary details:

CIRENCESTER, UK – Mitsubishi Motors’ new model-year Shogun arrives in the UK this week. It is a progressive evolution of Mitsubishi’s classic off-roading status symbol that combines authentic four-wheel drive go-anywhere ability with bold, muscular styling. 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 tough, authentic, 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.

The 12MY Shogun has line-up is as follows:



The 12MY marks the arrival of a fresher and sportier look across the Shogun range featuring:

• New chrome grille with slotted bars and thick dividers on either sides
• New colour-keyed front bumper
• Black front skid plate
• New twelve spoke 18” alloy wheels
• Black roof rails
• Euro V compliant engine

The same philosophy prevails inside the car with new items such as:

• New high-quality material for both cloth and leather upholsteries
• New enhanced illumination for instruments
• New brushed silver finish for power window control panels

Furthermore, new features are also introduced, including:

• SG3 and SG4 variants will be equipped with auto lights, auto wipers and privacy glass
• SG4 variants will now include a colour coded spare wheel cover as standard
• Brake override system – in case the driver accidentally hits the brake and accelerator at the same time (the car automatically opts for the safer braking option)

The new 12MY is available in the following colours:

• Diamond Black (Pearlescent)
• Frost White (Solid)
• Graphite Brown  (Metallic)
• Orient Red (Metallic)
• Cool Silver (Metallic)

Be prepared this winter - Number 1: Headlights

Ok, so this is our first recommendation for being better prepared for winter driving and remember that these are all items that can be fitted to most makes and models of vehicle :

A headlamp bulb upgrade

Some modern vehicles have very elaborate headlights that produce a much cleaner and brighter light. These are often the ones you see coming the other way with lights that look blue at first .. sometimes you can even see an array of colours as the vehicle moves around over bumps or uneven road surfaces.

Most of us, however, don't have this type of lighting system fitted to our vehicles.

Headlamp Bulb Upgrade

What we can do though is fit a replacement Xenon bulb upgrade. This will produce a brighter light which can better illuminate the road ahead and any potential hazards along the way.

Some of these upgrades are better than others and there are many out there to choose from, we have found that many of our customers have purchased cheaper versions of these bulbs from elsewhere and not been entirely happy with the results.

We supply and fit Xenon bulb upgrade kits for all makes and models of vehicle, in most cases they are fitted free of charge too.

So why not get a set of these fitted today ... after all, it was pretty gloomy this morning wasn't it :(
