The Shogun's a workhorse. If you're looking for on-road luxury as well as off-road prowess, look elsewhere.

Good stuff

Bad stuff

Almost everything else

Overview

What is it?

A workhorse. If you regularly throw bales of hay in the boot and spend more time on mud than on tarmac, then the Shogun makes sense. But for the rest of us, it's one to avoid. The diesel is far too unrefined, and the interior quality is not up to rivals, even after a semi-recent facelift.

What's the verdict?

The X5 or XC90 may defeat it over tarmac and the Disco's better balanced on/off road, but if you need to tow a tank, the Shogun is what you need.
