MITSUBISHI SHOGUN SPORT/ CHALLENGER (1998- TO DATE三菱丰臣秀吉体育/挑战者(1998年-迄今

You really do have to wonder what the ?Sport?你真的要知道?体育? refers to in the Mitsubishi Shogun Challenger and Sport models.三菱指丰臣秀吉的挑战者和体育模式. Could picking the kids up from school ever be considered a sport?可以采摘孩子放学以往被视为一项体育运动? Or negotiating a shopping centre multi-storey ramp?一个商场或谈判多层匝道? Perhaps this is being a trifle harsh, but a great many of these excellent cars arrive on the used market never having got their tyres dirty.也许这是一件小事苛刻但许多这些优秀的车用市场来从未写到车胎肮脏. It?s a bit like buying a Lotus Elise and using it to fetch the Sunday papers in ??收盘有点像买莲花叶锡并以此夺得了周七试卷? you won?t see it at its best and it?s a bit overspecified for the task.你赢了?笔充其量也看到它?收盘有点overspecified这项任务. What it does mean is that for the used buyer there are hundreds of well-maintained and low-mileage Shoguns Sports and Challengers out there that have led yawningly easy lives.究竟是什么意思是,为买方有数百使用保养得宜,低里程shoguns体育和挑战者出去,易导致yawningly生命. Couple that with Mitsubishi?s enviable reputation for engineering ruggedness and a near flawless reliability record and you?ve got something that could reasonably be described as a gift horse.夫妇与三菱?收盘羡慕的名声和接近完美的可靠性工程粗犷记录你?虚拟丢下可以合理算是送给马. But before you prepare to look one in the mouth, arm yourself with the following information.但你准备找一嘴,手臂自己提供下列资料.

HISTORY历史
Introduced in 1998, the Mitsubishi Shogun Challenger was part of Mitsubishi?s aim of capitalising on the considerable brand equity of the Shogun line.在1998年提出三菱自古属于三菱挑战者?收盘宗旨善用品牌资产相当的丰臣秀吉线. As the Shogun developed it had gradually got more and more expensive, leaving a gaping hole beneath it which was being eagerly exploited by offerings from Land Rover, Jeep and Toyota.由于发达国家已逐步得到丰臣秀吉越来越昂贵留下一个漏洞,塑像正在热切剥削冥从越野、吉普车、丰田. The Shogun Challenger was the answer, although it arrived without a great deal of fanfare in November 1998.答案是丰臣秀吉的挑战者,虽然它没有到达大量铺张1998年11月. Based on a model already sold in Japan, the Shogun Challenger was hampered by the fact that it didn?t look particularly groundbreaking.基于一个模式已经在日本售出,丰臣秀吉的挑战者是因为它妨碍了雾化?尤其看笔动土. Tried and trusted mechanicals did little to create the impression that this was the latest thing to be seen in, and it has singularly failed to address the challenge from more style-conscious rivals.审判和信赖机电制造一种印象,雨点小,这是最新的形象来看待,它没有正视挑战奇多风格昏迷对手.

Available with a 2.5 turbo diesel or 3.0-litre V6 petrol engine, the Challenger, some may argue, was aesthetically challenged.可与2.5或3.0柴油涡轮-V6导公升汽油引擎的挑战者,有人被质疑美感. It resembled an amalgamation of Subaru Forester and Daewoo Musso styling cues, long, flat and relatively low for a Shogun.它类似于合并、大宇富士林产musso造型线索,长期偏低的单位和丰臣秀吉. Two trim levels were available GLX and a more upmarket GLS.两个层次修剪可谈GIS天然、更高档. The somewhat understated looks belie its true ability and that?s what makes the Challenger such an interesting used buy.看起来实在有点低估了其真实的能力与?收盘更令挑战者用来买这种有趣. In March 1999, Mitsubishi attempted to redress this issues and set about the car with a mild facelift and ?lifestyle?1999年3月,三菱公司试图纠正这一问题,并着手一个汽车、轻度整容?生活方式? trim designations to fit in with the rest of the Shogun range, which by then had been stretched further with the introduction of the tiny Shogun Pinin.修剪番号呼应了其余的丰臣秀吉靶场而此时已经伸展进一步引进蕞pinin丰臣秀吉. At this point, it was re-named ?Shogun Sport?.此时,有人重新命名?自古体育运动?. The range received a significant revision in late 2001 with the adoption of a more powerful 114bhp turbo diesel engine from the L200, and a less powerful 3.0-litre 168bhp V6 in order to meet Euro Step II emissions regulations.射程在2001年底获得了重大调整与采取更强有力的114bhp柴油机涡轮l200,那么强大、3.0升V6导168bhp为了适应欧元步二排放法规. Some minor trim changes were also effected by Mitsubishi.一些细微的变化也由三菱浪. The Shogun Sport received a new front grille in the autumn of 2004.丰臣秀吉接到一个新的体育运动,在2004年秋季前门锁.

WHAT YOU GET  什么才叫
The blurring of the edges in the 4x4 sector has seen all-wheel drive cars like Subaru?s Forester for instance pretending to be 4x4s.模糊不清的边缘看到所有部门4-4轮驱动车象富士?林产收盘比如冒充四轮驱动车. Lifestyle 4x4 estates like the Volvo V70 XC and the Audi allroad take this stage one step further.4-4生活方式遗产像沃尔沃和奥迪allroadv70圆现阶段采取一步. Reversing the course of natural evolution, the Shogun Sport and Challenger seem to be making 4x4s that try their best to ape the qualities of an estate car.倒车过程中自然演化,丰臣秀吉的体育和四轮驱动,使挑战者似乎都尽力猿品质地产汽车. Strange, when you consider the hardcore underlying mechanicals.奇怪,当你想到死背后机电. There?s a strange lack of the usual 4x4 addenda ??收盘怪缺乏一贯4-4编? spot lights, bull bars, running boards and macho spare wheel carriers with the Shogun Sport, Even the revised front bumper, restyled grille, clear headlight lenses and smoother tail lights that distinguish it from its Challenger predecessor only serve to make it look more urbane.现场灯光、防撞、办、局备用车轮式母与丰臣秀吉体育即使修改前保险杠、restyled花砖,前照灯镜片和清晰流畅,尾部灯有别于前任的挑战者只会使其更彬彬有礼.

In the Shogun Sport 3.0 V6, you have a vehicle that can make sixty in 11.6s on the way to 109mph.在丰臣秀吉体育3.0V6导、你有一辆车,可以在60月11.6s途中109mph. Yet the same vehicle tows 2800kg, climbs at angles of up to 370 and wades at depths of up to 500mm.可是同车束2800kg、在长达370角度爬升、渗深度可达500mm的. On top of that, the seats fold into a bed and you can carry up to 58.5 cubic feet of clutter with length enough for anything from a surfboard to a grandfather clock.除此之外,座位折叠成一张床,你可载重达58.5立方英尺的杂波与长度不够伸手从祖父surfboard一个小时.

Given this kind of background, it?s not surprising that Mitsubishi initially had trouble deciding what the potential competition (and the name) might be.鉴于这种背景,?收盘不足为奇了麻烦三菱初步决定什么潜在竞争可能(姓名). Given a wide ranging price span, they clearly still think that potential buyers?由于价格跨度相当广泛,他们显然仍觉得潜在买主? current transport might be anything from a Volvo V70 XC to a Land Rover Discovery or even a full-size MPV like Renault?s Espace.目前交通可从任何一圆沃尔沃v70越野愉甚至全尺寸巡逻艇喜欢雷诺?收盘协商.

To be fair, expecting Espace customers might be stretching things a bit.平心而论,顾客可以预期协商东西伸展了一下. Unlike the five-door version of the larger Shogun off roader, the Sport can?t offer a third row of seats in the rear luggage compartment.不像五门版对开大自古路由器、运动可以吗?笔第三排座位提供的后方行李车厢. Still, that never put off Range Rover buyers ?但是,这绝不拖延射程孚买主? or indeed those who?ve spent so much money on American imports like Jeep?s Cherokee and Ford?s Explorer.甚至那些?花那么多钱在虚拟像美国进口吉普车?收盘切诺基、福特?收盘探索者.

Whilst the Challenger made do with GLX and luxury GLS specifications, the revised Sport boasts three trim levels on offer for diesel customers ?虽然做了挑战者与天然名贵谈GIS、规格、修改后浪体育拥有三个层次的顾客提供柴油? Classic, Equippe and Elegance.经典equippe风采. Either way, you get power steering, electric power for the mirrors, windows and sunroof, central locking, twin front airbags, an immobiliser and a decent quality stereo.不论如何,你得助力转向、电力为镜子,窗户和天窗,中央锁,双锋气袋,一个锁和立体声品质优良. For Elegance V6 models, the tally also includes air conditioning, ABS, alloy wheels, front fog lamps, headlamp washers, roof rails, a luggage area cover and load net, extra instruments and, more dubiously, imitation burr walnut trim and a roof spoiler.型号为V6导风采,还包括空调相符,ABS的合金车轮,前雾大灯,前照灯洗衣机、屋顶栏杆、行李及负荷网复盖面积,增加仪器设备,更被含糊,核桃修剪和仿制毛刺屋顶破坏者. British leather upholstery is optional.英国皮革座垫是择.

If you?re into off roading, the diesel is the model to go for.如果你?再进入过筑路、柴油的示范去. Engine braking in sharp descents is, as you would expect, much better and low down pulling power seems to be greater.发动机制动鲜明裔,正如所料,好多低下来,似乎是较大的拉动力. With both engines, all-wheel drive is accessed through Mitsubishi?s ?Easy Select?既有发动机、全轮驱动是浏览三菱?收盘?易责? system, offering all-terrain performance at the push of a lever.系统,提供全域表现在推动一个杠杆. Here, you can switch between two and four wheel drive at speeds of up to 62mph in high range: you must of course stop to engage low range.在这里,你可以转2至4轮驱动速度高达62mph高射程:当然你必须停止从事低射程.

The result on most surfaces is pretty much the same kind of off road prowess as you?d expect from a Shogun: in fact, the only real difference between the two is the Shogun Sport?s lack of a locking rear differential, a feature you?d be unlikely to need unless really stuck.结果在最表面却大同小异样的越野实力,你呢?四指望从丰臣秀吉:事实上,两者是唯一真正的体育丰臣秀吉?收盘缺乏一个锁定后方微分、一个特点是什么?四是不大可能,除非真的需要卡. And the only time this big Mitsubishi?s likely to end up immobilised is courtesy of a wheelclamp.而这只是时间的大三菱?收盘可能落得一个固定wheelclamp是礼貌.

WHAT YOU PAY  您付出
Bidding starts at £8,700 for a 1999 T-plated Challenger TD 2.5 GLX, although if you want the sixteen inch wheels, roof spoiler air conditioning and other luxury accoutrements offered by the GLS you?ll need to budget an additional £1,500, which is about the same as you?ll need if you want a 3.0-litre V6 petrol model.招标始于8700英镑为1999笔镀挑战者运输署二月五日天然、但如果你想要的16英寸车轮屋顶破坏者空调等豪华随身谈GIS提供的吧?当地需要1500英镑的额外预算,距今大约相同吧?如果你想要当地需要3.0升汽油V6导模式. The Shogun Sport starts on 2001 X-plates for £14,700.2001年开始的体育丰臣秀吉X光片14700英镑. Insurance varies across the range, with the 2.5 GLX rated at Group 13, the 2.5 GLS Group 14, and the 3.0 GLS a hefty Group 16.保险范围有所不同,与天然的250伏特组13,250组谈GIS14而大幅谈GIS3.0组16. The same groupings apply to the Shogun Sport, with both 3.0-litre Equippe and Elegance models falling into Group 16.同一集团向丰臣秀吉体育与3.0公升equippe模范风采落入集团16.

WHAT TO LOOK FOR  寻找什么
Whilst the Shogun Challenger/Sport may well be built to last, there will be a small minority of owners willing to test this fact.虽然自古挑战者/运动可能建成最后会有少数业主愿意试验这一事实. Off road driving is a punishing activity and whilst few Shoguns will have indulged, they may have been subjected to other high-wear activities such as towing caravans, boats and the like.越野驾驶是惩治活动虽然有少数shoguns沉迷,他们可能遭到其他高穿大篷车活动如拖车、船等. With this in mind, check for evidence of towing equipment and test the suspension fully, as towing can seriously deteriorate the life expectancy of rear shock absorbers ?为此,查证据充分悬浮拖曳设备和测试,如能认真恶化拖车寿命后方避震? even on a Shogun.即使在丰臣秀吉. Also check for evidence of fuel leaks, a sticking differential lock and corrosion around the tailgate.检查还证明燃油外泄,田欣微分锁周围栏板和腐蚀. Inspect the exhaust, wheel arch liners, suspension and chassis and for damage caused whilst off roading and get to know the history of the vehicle in question.检查排气、车轮拱轮船、悬浮和底盘造成损害而过,结识了筑路史上的车辆问题.

REPLACEMENT PARTS  替换零件
(approx based on 2000 Shogun Sport 3.0) Expect to pay around £230 for a clutch assembly and £300 for an exhaust system.(依据2000年大约3.0丰臣秀吉体育)期待支付了约230英镑300英镑、离合器装配排气系统. Spark plugs will work out at £12 each, while a cam belt retails at around £70.火花塞会拟定于1912年每英镑,而英镑左右凸轮带零售70. Allow £12 for an oil filter.12英镑让油过滤. A catalyst will retail at around £400, whilst a starter motor is £130 and a headlamp the best part of £200.零售催化剂将在400英镑左右,虽然是一个起动电机、前照灯英镑130英镑200最佳一部分. Front brake pads start at around £40 with rears weighing in at £65.前刹车皮40英镑左右开始在英镑抚养称重65.

ON THE ROAD  在路上
Of the two engines offered in the Shogun Challenger/Sport the diesel makes up the vast majority of sales, due in no small part to the V6 petrol?s prodigious thirst.在开办了两个引擎丰臣秀吉挑战者/康占绝大多数的柴油销售,归功于V6导的汽油?收盘沙希渴. This is a very credible turbo diesel engine, developing 99bhp with a level of refinement that makes Jeep?s 2.5-litre VM TD unit sound coarse.这是一个非常可信的涡轮柴油机99bhp发展水平与细化,使吉普车?收盘2.5公升船民运输署股声粗. The same goes for the diesels you?ll find in Land Rover?s Discovery and Vauxhall?s Frontera.一样的柴油好吗?越野车在当地找?收盘发现和狂暴?收盘边疆.

All this is very significant of course, for if you?re going to buy a vehicle weighing nearly 2000kgs, you?re going to have a rather expensive time of it if the engine under the bonnet is petrol powered.这一切当然是很重要的,如果你?再前往购买一辆汽车称重近2000kgs,你?重新将会相当昂贵,但如果时间是汽油发动机头盖下. The Shogun Sport?s 2.5-litre turbo diesel manages up to 33mpg in ordinary motoring: some petrol rivals, in contrast, struggle to crack the 20mpg barrier.丰臣秀吉的运动?收盘2.5公升柴油涡轮管理多达33mpg普通驾驶:部分汽油对手,反观20mpg打垒的斗争. Yet you?re not forced to pay for it by having to listen to an engine that sounds like a bag of nails.但是你?再被迫支付它不是由聆听发动机听起来像一袋钉子. So-called ?Silent Shaft?所谓?无声轴? technology means that only at idle is the engine?s identity immediately obvious.技术闲置是指只有在发动机?收盘身分立即明显.

On the move, short gearing means that performance is more sprightly than the rest to sixty time of 18.5s would suggest, though the top speed is limited to a mere 90mph.关于搬家总之就是传动性能更为活泼、六比其余时间18.5s会建议虽然最高时速仅只限于90mph. If you want a bit more power and don?t mind the consequences at the pumps, there is also a 177bhp V6 version offering the kind of performance mentioned earlier.如果你想多一点权力,鲍思?笔记后果的水泵,还有一个版本提供177bhpV6导所说的那种表现. Automatic transmission is now available as an option with this engine.自动变速器现已作为一项选择这个引擎. To be fair, the consumption penalties aren?t too great: on average, you can expect around 5mpg less than the 2.5TD.平心而论,消费西哈莫尼处罚?笔太大:平均值,你可以预期低于2.5td5mpg左右.

On the road, body roll is reasonably well controlled and, you?ll be glad to hear, the roof height won?t preclude you from entering the tightest multi-storey car park.在路上,是相当良好的控制,身体滚,你呢?当地高兴,房顶高度获胜?笔排除你进入最严密的多层停车场. A nice technical touch is the LSPV (Load Sensing Proportioning Valve) system, which automatically adjusts front to rear braking bias, depending on the load being carried.尼斯是一个技术触摸lspv(负载传感阀配料系统),其中,自动调整刹车战线后方偏见,这取决于负载正. It?s easy to forget just how heavy cars like this are when trying to stop in an emergency.?收盘容易忘记这是多么沉重的轿车在紧急时设法阻止. It?s not the most elegant performer, but neither is it the lumpen companion most big 4x4s are.?收盘不是最典雅演员,但也不是最大的四轮驱动车是无产者伴侣. Its road manners correspond to its looks ?其对应的马路上看起来? a serious 4x4 toned down to appeal to those who want a bit more than a ?common or garden centre?严重4-4淡化呼吁有志有点多?常见或花园中心? estate.遗产.

OVERALL  总体
With Jeep Cherokees and Land Rover Discovery models flooding the used market, it?s easy to overlook the Mitsubishi Shogun Challenger/Sport.愉、越野吉普车切罗基同型号的驱用市场?收盘容易忽略三菱丰臣秀吉挑战者/sport. It?s neither cheap, stylish nor wildly fun to drive.?收盘既不便宜,也不气派疯狂驾驶乐趣. If you need something solid, dependable, but don?t want to feel like a Montana back woodsman every time you drive it, this Shogun could be just the job.如果你需要一些扎实、可靠、但鲍思?蒙大拿笔去感觉就像你每次回樵径,这可能只是自古就业. It does everything reasonably well, but in a crowded marketplace is this enough?但这一切良好,但在一个拥挤的市场是否足够?
