On the wild side you can witness the Shogun's serious streak - this ultimate all-terrain vehicle is equally at home negotiating muddy moorlands, fast-flowing streams or the steepest of rock-strewn ascents as it is motorways or the high street. Of course, such mastery calls for some serious hardware, so the Shogun's SS4-II drivetrain boasts not one, but three four-wheel drive modes. You can change from full-time, fuel-efficient two-wheel drive to 4H at speeds of up to 62 mph, ideal when the road suddenly becomes slippery. When the going gets tough simply lock the centre differential (4HLc) with power equally distributed between both axles, and for maximum off-road ability select 4LLc to virtually double effective engine breaking in any gear. SS4-II works in conjunction with both Mitsubishi's highly acclaimed Active Stability and Traction Control system, ensuring optimum grip in all conditions, and EBAC which automatically engages in extreme downhill off-road

EBAC
Engine Brake Assist Control is activated only in the most extreme downhill situations when 4LLc has been selected and first gear is engaged, automatically taking over the braking as soon as it detects a loss of traction.

M-ASTC
Mitsubishi Active Stability and Traction Control is Shogun's state-of-the-art safety system. It regulates braking force to each wheel during cornering to ensure excellent stability. The system also maintains optimum traction in all conditions, on and off-road. M-ASTC prevents tyre spin on slippery surfaces and minimises the risk of drift caused by over-accelerating in corners.

2H (2WD HIGH RANGE)
Ideal for cities and motorway driving, the rear wheel drive mode gives a quiet ride with smooth on-road performance.

4H (4WD HIGH RANGE)
With 4WD engaged, front/rear torque split from 33:67 to 50:50 for added traction and safety, especially when driving in adverse weather conditions or when towing.

4HLC (4WD HIGH RANGE WITH LOCKED CENTRE DIFFERENTIAL)
By equally distributing power between front and rear wheels, this mode helps maintain traction on low-grip surfaces.

4LLC (4WD LOW RANGE WITH LOCKED CENTRE DIFFERENTIAL)
The lower gear ratio maximises low-end power for climbing and enables controlled steep descents. It also helps you get out of sticky situations like deep mud, sand and snow.

Extreme off-road conditions mean angles so crazy you think no car can cope. But the Shogun can, and loves it. Not merely extreme angles from front to rear but also from side to side. Never fear, for the multi-information display taking pride of place centre dash will tell you how far you're leaning, and there's one thing for certain, your nerve will run out long before this Shogun says enough!
