The iconic Jeep was the first off-road vehicle brand founded in Michigan (US) in 1941. Now under the umbrella of the Chrysler Group LLC, it sells its vehicles worldwide. In Australia the vehicles on the market are the Patriot, Wrangler, Cherokee and Grand Cherokee.
The short-wheelbase Wrangler Rubicon is back, but in limited numbers only. Is it a better choice than the Unlimited off-road?
After a long test drive, does the Jeep Compass point us in the right direction?
This short Wrangler is a big deal. Jeep fans have been crying out for the two-door Rubicon to return, but you’d better be quick.
Base by name, but not by nature. The Compass Night Eagle has some solid inclusion of tech.
The short-wheelbase Wrangler Rubicon is making a short comeback to Australia in 2021, with only 40 vehicles making up a 100-strong contingent of ‘Recon’ special-edition models.
It’s time to draw curtains on our time with the Jeep Compass, as our long-term loan concludes. And it’s been an overall positive experience with Jeep’s small SUV, in its cheapest Night Eagle guise.
We take the Jeep Compass long-termer down to the NSW south coast for a road trip with a difference.
We welcome the Night Eagle to the CarAdvice office with some impressive standard inclusions, but you won't see it off-road.
Biggest isn't always best, and the alternative is a dying breed of four-wheel drive. We take a closer look at two surviving examples of short-wheelbase life.
Among the never-ending stream of new and updated mid-sized SUVs, two of the latest face off.
Which of these high-dollar 4x4 utes packs the best on-paper punch? Time to crunch some numbers...
There's a lot of science involved in choosing a new car name. Some manufacturers employ external brand companies, while others take inspiration from within. For example, the Ford Taurus was named by two of the company's executives – after their wives' star signs. We've seen some doozies in the past...
Jeep Australia has recalled eight examples of its Grand Cherokee SUV in Australia, citing a potential fault with the crankshaft sensor. The affected vehicles were sold between 1 October 2017 and 31 August 2020 (Model Years 2018-2020)...
UPDATE, 8 April 2021, 10:15am: Jeep Australia has confirmed the updated Compass will arrive locally in the third quarter of 2021 (July to September inclusive). Our original story continues below. 8 April 2021: The 2021 Jeep Compass facelift has been unveiled for Europe...
The Australian new-car market is a crowded one, with dozens of manufacturers offering hundreds of models in different segments and body styles. Over 100 all-new, updated or expanded model ranges are due to launch throughout 2021, as chronicled in CarAdvice's 2021 New Car Calendar – but what's there to look forward to this month? Here's a look at every new vehicle launching in Australia in April 2021...
The Jeep Grand Cherokee. So far it has been a wonderful car. Yes it has its faults, which I will cover later in this review. Firstly, we wanted a vehicle to tow a caravan that was just under two tonne, with a ball weight of about 180kg. Without being a full-on 4WD, we wanted something that also needed to drive "car like...
I, being a long term Toyota driver, had everyone shocked when I switched to a Jeep. I must admit, I was a biased Prado driver and had been for many years. My wife was obsessed with Jeep Grand Cherokees ever since their mid-2013 facelift, and every time we passed one she'd shout 'Jeep!'. I always thought they were nice enough cars but had heard too many horror stories to justify the switch from Toyota to Jeep...
After using the CarAdvice rating system, I wonder why I love my Wrangler. I suppose the Wrangler is not a car. It has never pretended to be a car, and this makes it unique in a world of SUV’s. The reason I am a Wrangler owner who is willing to put up with everyone’s negative opinion is because it is an awesome off-roader, in where I can remove the roof, doors and even lower the windscreen to enjoy nature without having to walk...
Well, who would have thought this? I wanted to get out of my 5 year old Navara ST-X work vehicle and into an SUV. I canvassed all the brands, including the Toyota Prado Kakadu and decided on a Jeep Grand Cherokee Summit. The standard motor is the Italian Motori 3.0-litre turbo V6 (same as the Maserati Levante) mated to an 8-speed ZF transmission...
