MITSUBISHI SHOGUN (1991-2000)三菱丰臣秀吉(1991-2000)
For years, Toyota's Landcruiser and Nissan's Patrol were Japan's answer to Land Rovers and Range Rovers.多年来,丰田、尼桑landcruiser巡警被日本和解答各种火星登陆火星. However, all that changed in 1983 when Mitsubishi released the Shogun.然而,这一切的改变在1983年,当三菱公布丰臣秀吉. The vehicle industry world-wide sat up and took notice, impressed by the quality, luxury and ability of this new 4x4.汽车业世界性刮目相看,印象深刻的品质,这种奢侈新四轮驱动力. By 1991, however, the game had moved on.一九九一年,不过,棋局飞逝. Land Rover had by now responded to the challenge with the Discovery and Nissan and Toyota had all-new models.现在已经越野挑战与回应、尼桑和丰田公司已经发现的全新模式. Something radical was needed to build on the Shogun's existing reputation for durability and advanced technology.一些激进自古就需要建立现有声誉耐久性和先进技术. And in the second generation Shogun, that's what we got.而在第二代丰臣秀吉,这就是我们得到. Buyers immediately loved the tough, Dinky Toy looks.买家喜爱立即强硬,看起来dinky玩具. The motoring press was less sure but raved over the smooth V6 3.0-litre engine and the quiet 2.5-litre turbo diesel.记者驾驶的妄言,但肯定是不顺畅V6导3.0公升引擎和寂静2.5公升柴油涡轮. The result was that, for years, a Shogun was about as close to a motoring investment as you could get.结果是,1999年丰臣秀吉约为贴近了汽车你可以投资. It's only in recent times that prices have become more affordable for the average driver.它的价格只有在近代更加得起平均司机. Now there?s a new model with butch looks, radical (for off-roaders) integrated body/chassis construction and clever direct injection engines.现在呢?收盘新模型看起来像个男人,激进(非道路)综合体/底盘构造及巧妙直喷引擎. Yet this Mitsubishi looks set to prove as well built and long-lasting as its popular predecessors.但三菱将证明这也是建立持久的热门前人.
HISTORY历史
The first-generation Shogun was never the big seller that the second generation model became.第一代的地摊,自古从来二代模式成了. Despite its ruggedness, the original line-up dated back to 1983 and is now quite rare.尽管其粗犷、原始列队追溯到1983现罕见. Best then, to stick to the post-1991 second generation Shogun or, if you can afford it and can find one ?used?, a third generation example.最佳那么坚持邮政1991二代丰臣秀吉或者如果你可以找到一个可以负担得起?用?一个三代的例子. The rounded styling and car-like interior sets the newer models apart from their predecessors and contemporary competitors.四舍五入的造型和汽车类的室内套型号除了前人和当代竞争对手.
The second generation Shogun arrived in April 1991 to replace the boxy first version.二代自古以取代1991年4月抵达盒首版. Engines remained largely the same units from the 1991 launch ?发动机大致相同单位从1991年推出? a choice of V6 petrol or four-cylinder diesel units.选择汽油V6导或4缸柴油机单位. The diesels were either 2.5 or 2.8-litres, while the petrol motors came in 3.0-litre 12 and 24-valve versions plus a 3.5-litre 24-valver.柴油都是2.5或2.8公升、而汽油发动机有了3.0升12和24气门版本另加3.5公升24阀.
For the 1998 model year the Mitsubishi mud-plugger was facelifted slightly with new-look headlights and re-shaped front and rear wings.为1998年示范三菱泥宣传员与被facelifted稍新貌头灯、迎向前方和后方翼. The old 2.5-litre turbo diesel engine was finally dropped and changes were made to the flagship 3.5-litre 24v petrol unit.旧的2.5公升柴油涡轮引擎终于改变了下降的旗舰3.5公升汽油-24V型股.
The all-new third generation arrived in May 2000.全国2000年5月新三代抵达. Engines and suspension were now bolted directly to the ?monocoque?现在暂时发动机和螺栓直接向?车身? body rather than installed in a separate chassis and there was a complete restyle inside and out.安装在一个单独的机构,而不是有一个完整的底盘和restyle掌. Both the 3.5-litre 24-valve petrol V6 and the new four-cylinder, 16-valve, twin camshaft 3.2-litre turbo diesel featured direct fuel injection.无论3.5公升24气门汽油V6和新四缸,16气门,双凸轮轴三点二公升柴油涡轮展出直接喷油.
WHAT YOU GET 什么才叫 
A big vehicle, make no mistake.大汽车,别弄错. Though less truck-like to drive than many 4x4s, the Shogun casts a substantial shadow, so be sure you can cope with the size ?虽然车少样比许多驾驶四轮驱动车,丰臣秀吉的影子蒙上了可观,所以要相信你能应付大小? try a few reverse and parallel parks, to be sure.试图扭转和平行数公园,可以肯定. Off road ability is excellent (though not up to Land Rover standards) and on-road performance is also well above par.越野能力是很好(虽然未达标准越野)和路也远高于表现相提并论. Equipment is generally plentiful with many versions featuring automatic transmission, air conditioning, leather trim, and (in the why-oh-why? category) a compass and altimeter for those vast DIY superstore car parks that always seem to be perched on the side of cliffs.装备有许多版本,内容丰富,是一般自动变速器、空调、皮革修剪、(<为什么--哦--为什么?类)和一个指南针高度表那些超级大贴停车场,似乎都会站在一边悬崖.
WHAT YOU PAY 您付出
Second generation Shogun prices start at about £2,500 for the first three-door 1991 3.0-litre 12-valve petrol cars.自古二代价格为2500英镑左右开始前三国门1991年3.0升12气门汽油车. These are good buys at that price but if you prefer something younger, a 1993K example will be closer to £4,000.这些都是好的,但如果以这个价钱买你喜欢年轻一些,例如将接近1993k了4000英镑. Add between £300 and £700 for automatic transmission.加上300英镑700英镑之间自动变速器.
A more powerful 24-valve version of the same 3.0-litre motor appeared in August 1994 for the M-plate change.更为强大的24气门3.0版本相同公升发动机出现在1994年8月,为米板的改变. The cheapest you'll find a GLS is about £4,000 for a three-door or £6,000 with five doors.最便宜怪怪谈GIS约为4000英镑为期5门门或6000英镑. The facelifted 97R-platers will be around £8,200 and £9,000 respectively and automatic adds £600 to £1,500.<facelifted97r-platers将于8200英镑9000英镑左右,分别为600英镑和1500英镑自动加入.
If you want a V6 but must have a bigger engine and more power, then the automatic-only 3.5-litre 24v GLS should meet your needs.如果你想要V6导但必须有更大、更多的发动机功率,然后自动只有3.5公升-24V型满足您应该谈GIS需求. Prices start at about £6,000 for the earliest L-plate three-door versions and roughly £7,000 for the better-equipped five-door estates.大约为6000英镑的价格从最早的左旋三板门版本为7000英镑,大约优势装备五门屋. For about £8,000 you could have a three-door 96N-plate car while an 99T five-door (the three-door was dropped pre-facelift at 97R) will be around £14,000.约8000英镑,你可以有三个门96n板99t车而五门(3门被降预整容时97r)14000英镑左右会.
Like the look of the luxury 3.5-litre version but fear the fuel bills?喜欢看的豪华3.5公升版本,但怕燃料法案? Fear not, the turbo diesel will serve you almost as well.恐怕没有,你几乎可以涡轮柴油等. For less than £3,500, you could have a 92J-plate 2.5-litre four-cylinder three-door GLS.不到3500英镑,你可以有92j板2.5公升四汽缸三谈GIS大门. A 95M-plater will cost you around £5,000, while a 97P-reg example will be about £6,800.一个95M号-薄板将耗资5000英镑左右你,而97p-再生将如约6,800英镑. The last 99V examples start from about £8,400.从过去的例子99v约8400英镑.

A 97P-plate GLS will set you back close to £8,000 while a 00V-reg one should be about £11,000.97p一板回你谈GIS将接近8000英镑,而00v-再生一应约11000英镑.
WHAT TO LOOK FOR 寻找什么
A full service history is desirable especially on turbodiesels which like fresh oil and filters served regularly to prevent wear.历史是最好的全面服务,尤其是喜欢新鲜turbodiesels石油和过滤服务,定期为防止磨损. If this has been neglected, walk away, no matter how much you like the colour or CD player ?如果被忽视,走,不管多么喜欢的颜色或影音球员? there'll be plenty more to choose from.未来将有更充裕选择.
Otherwise, there's very little to watch out for, apart from the obvious checks that you should subject any 4x4 to.否则,一切的很少提防,除了明显受到任何检查,你应该为4-4. Listen for whining gearboxes and differentials; look for leaky power steering, engines, gearboxes and driveshaft joints, off road abuse, tailgate and underbody corrosion and theft or accident damage.为听取牢骚、变速箱差别;寻找漏助力转向,发动机和传动齿轮关节,越野虐待栏板、盗窃或底部的腐蚀和意外损伤. The Shogun is very well protected from rust, but the lack of a hose-down following exposure to salt water and constant mud wrestling may eventually cause the rusty red peril to attack.自古就是很好的保护锈,但缺少了喉下下不断接触和泥浆摔跤咸水最终可能导致锈红色危亡攻击.
Mechanically, these cars are very durable.机械,这些车都是非常耐用. The V6 engine came from the 3000GT supercar but was de-tuned for off-roader use, its emphasis is on torque, not outright power.V6发动机的3000gtsupercar而是来自德收看场外路由器使用,它的重点是力矩、不是单纯的权力. Nevertheless, be sure to check the service records as an abused multi-valve motor with electronic injection can cost big bucks if it goes wrong.尽管如此,务必核对服务记录作为受虐多气门电喷发动机成本可大赚如果出错.
REPLACEMENT PARTS 替换零件
(Based on a 1995 3.0-litre V6) A replacement exhaust (front to the catalyst) will set you back roughly £185, while a new clutch will be £140 or thereabouts.(基于1995年3.0升V6导)更换排气(前面的催化剂)定你回大概185英镑,而新离合器将140英镑左右. An alternator should be around £165 and a starter motor about £126.要围绕一个发电机和起动马达约165英镑126英镑. A new wing mirror is steep in the region of £190, while a headlamp is a more acceptable £160.新荣区在陡峭镜子是190英镑,而前照灯是更可接受160英镑.
ON THE ROAD 在路上
This is where the Shogun has an advantage over many of its more agricultural-based rivals.这正是自古有优势,它更多农为本的对手. The car is certainly no lightweight but the chassis does a fine job of coping with all that weight transfer under braking and through the twisty bits.汽车轻量化绝非底盘是否优良,但应对所有重量转移到下刹车,经过曲折的比特. With air conditioning, CD player and an automatic gearbox, the big off-roader does a fine impression of a luxury car, on road.与空调、CD唱机、自动变速箱、大休路由器是否良好印象轿车,安道. The commanding driving position makes an automatic Shogun almost a pleasure to conduct in traffic jams ?指挥自动驾驶位置使得几乎高兴丰臣秀吉进行塞车? seeing over the cars in front makes stop-start driving less stressful.看到前面的车停使得启动驾驶较温和. If the roads get slippery, you'll also be one of the few drivers who can drive around (or even through) the hazard and keep going.若得湿滑路面、您还是少数能带动周围的司机(甚至通过)睁危险.
OVERALL 总体
This off-roader has converted many a former Range Rover or Discovery owner and it's not hard to see why.这个场外路由器已把许多前任老板发现或漫游范围,就不难明白. Luxury, quality, ability and looks make the Shogun one of the better 4x4s and a great used buy.豪华、素质、能力和容貌使丰臣秀吉之一越好用来购买四轮驱动车、大.
