JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE 2011 – 2021

  By ,

The Jeep Grand Cherokee is a large 4WD aimed more at buyers of luxury station wagons rather than keen off-road drivers. We will start this used car checkout with the WK Series Grand Cherokee that launched in Australia in February 2011. Compared to previous models it was designed to better suit on-road conditions, with SUV-type suspension to give it a smoother, quieter ride. True to its roots Jeep Grand Cherokee is still a genuine 4WD and can tackle rugged off-road work that would stop most crossover wagons in their tracks,… Read more

JEEP COMPASS S-LIMITED

  By ,

Compass is the smallest and cheapest of Jeep’s off-roaders and looks very much like a smaller version of Grand Cherokee. Introduced in 2007, Compass and its rebadged sibling Patriot were the first of Jeep’s softer offerings, pitched at an entirely new customer. Compass was rounder, cuddlier and generally more city-focused, while the Patriot which was dropped in 2016 was squarer, chunkier and more macho. The current model, launched in 2020, has changed significantly, with enhanced tech, redesigned dashboard, a refined cabin and an extensive list of driver-assist systems. Jeep describes… Read more

JEEP GLADIATOR RUBICON

  By ,

Jeep’s Gladiator was inevitable, as sure as four doors follow two. Launched here in 2020, it’s a tough-looking, dual cab, five-seat utility with storied off- road credentials. Gladiator is a competitor for Toyota’s Hilux Rogue, Ford Ranger Raptor and other range-toppers, and comes with a sizeable price tag to match. Although tradies have an affinity for flashy 4×4 dual cab utes, oddly you don’t see many driving a Gladiator. In fact, you don’t see many of them full stop. Maybe they are more interested in the look than taking their… Read more

JEEP’S TRAIL-RATED COMPASS TRAILHAWK

  By ,

Compass is the baby of the Jeep family and looks like a downsized-version of Grand Cherokee. Introduced in 2007, Compass and sibling the Patriot, a reskinned, rebadged version of the car, were the first of Jeep’s softer crossover offerings. Compass was rounder, cuddlier and generally more citified twin, while the Patriot which was dropped in 2016 was a bit squarer and more macho. Survivor Compass continues to fly the flag for the iconic American brand, targeted at first time buyers and those whose driving is confined mainly to paved roads…. Read more
