Jeep

While we yearn for some more meaningful updates to Jeep's 4x4 ute, there is an authentic appeal to the new Gladiator Rubicon.

Jeep now counts itself as part of the electric revolution with the all-new Avenger. But, was it worth the effort?

Jeep has joined the electric-car market with a city SUV priced from $49,990. Has it been worth the wait?

With an almost 40-year history of six-cylinder power under the bonnet, the Wrangler makes the switch to a four-cylinder turbo.

Recalls were issued for a total of 38 different cars in the month of July, including some of Australia's best-selling brands.

If you're after a ute of any kind but only have $40K to spend, here are some of the best choices available on Drive Marketplace.

The fault could cause the power steering pump's electrical connection to overheat nearby materials.

A new special edition uses 1980s-inspired decals to drop the Wrangler's entry price to a four-year low.

Before he was shredding the halfpipe at the Winter Olympics, Scott James was learning how to drive in this surprising off-roader.

Want to make the jump to electric without breaking the bank? Here's every electric car priced under $50K.

Jeep is known for hiding playful motifs in its vehicles, but the Avenger features a more touching tribute.

Bought a new car? You might need to become hip to the trends that follow the brand before hitting the road.

As the saying goes. "There is only One Jeep". I've been driving Jeeps for 12 years now, and this is my third one.Owner: Andrew Tan

I've wanted a Jeep, CJ / Wrangler for as long as I can remember. So I am pleased to say I have no regrets in buying mine.Owner: Milan

Need something for the daily commute and to tow a small boat to the ramp on the weekends. Purchased the vehicle new and loved it from the start, great to drive and goes well. The technology pack makes it treat to drive. The heated leather seats will have all your aching back passengers loving you and reaching for the button to turn the heat on. However the best part is the adaptive cruise control. No longer are you on and off the brake and accelerator when on the freeway or a long drive. The car manages the speed for you if you find a slow person in your lane. Best feature ever. Have not had a problem with the car, always just starts and goes. Storage space is ok, would not say great, but I went from a ute to the Jeep, so may not be the best judge. The down side of the car would be the cost of spares. Had a rock thrown up from a truck and cracked a headlight. Quote from Jeep was $4920 to replace.. yes you read that correctly .. almost $5k !! Have heard similar stores on the cost of spares from the insurance assessor. The other thing I am not sure about.. The sunroof or moonroof, its huge. Its nice to crack the roof to let some fresh air in, however all the glass even with the shade screen across does heat the car up when the sun is shinning and its parked and we all know Australia gets a lots sun. The way I combate it is the aircon and remotely start the car before I get in the car. Would I buy one again ? Undecided. Lovely to drive both in the city, on open roads and off the beaten track. It seriously is. It is comfortable and handles like a dream and you could drive it all day long. However when you look at the cost of spares, If a headlight is an indicator, I am grateful so far I have not had to repair anything else. But it does leave you apprehensive when you put the car in for a service or as it gets older will I regret having one if things need replacing ? Its a tough call.

Jeep Grand Cherokee , So far has been a wonderful car Yes it has faults , which I will get to Firstly , we wanted a vehicle to tow a caravan just under 2 ton with a ball weight of about 180kg. without being full on 4wd and needs to drive car like . that eliminated Rangers , Everest , Landcruisers etc A few others could handle 2 ton, only just, but struggle with tow ball weight., So the safety margin was too small for my liking That left Ford Territory pretty much an obsolete car , but fit for purpose and drives well Got us to the Jeep, But mindful of past history, we took a punt. It can tow 3.5 ton with a tow ball rating of 350kg, so the safety margin was huge Pros, 3.0 ltr diesel , what a beast, 570nm of torque, Once moving, has more than enough power to cope with anything. overtaking and hill climbs is a breeze. Not much else compares with that. 8 speed auto blends perfect with the engine , is never left struggling or hunting for the correct gear. If required when towing , paddle shifters work well, but more often than not , leave it to look after itself Economy, around town about 8.5 ltr /100km Towing 2 ton, on 2 recent trips of of 10,000km and 2500km average fuel 12.9 ltr /100km And the bonus a 93 ltr fuel tank, which gives us a very useful range of 600km plus when towing with a good bit in reserve , and 900km without Van. The car is very comfortable, quiet , and very car like to drive.and a surprisingly agile turning circle Reverse camera works very well , makes hitching the van a one man show Features , Dual zone air con , Cruise control, Sat nav. Now its not all plain sailing , It does have a number of negatives. Such a brilliant engine, but it does have a fair degree of turbo lag, very noticeable when unladen , not so much when towing . My observation is, when moving of with an extra 2 ton , we expect a slight delay ,so it does not become so noticeable . Unladen from standstill we expect instant response, which you don't get with gentle acceleration The Parking brake , I think the days of foot operation has long gone, time for a change to electric. I don't mind indicators on the left But on that one stalk on the left , we have, indicators wipers , front and rear , high beam, you name it , its all on one stick. Give me two stalks , one each side , I don't care which side. Yes it does have auto wipers and high , but sometimes you need to manually operate them and can be a lucky dip to to select the right function. It does have wonderful multimedia controls on the steering whee,l 3 buttons on the right side and three on the left side, but why are they on the reverse side of the steering wheel facing the dashboard , with no visible icons to show what the functions are. There is real estate space on the front facing the driver for these controls. Are these negatives a deal breaker , Definitely Not. Is the vehicle fit for the intended purpose . Most definitely
