Jeep Laredo Reviews

Any fears over how the public would respond to a Wrangler-based pick-up appear to be misguided, with Jeep Gladiator attracting more than 25,000 US orders in its first month on sale.

Should you consider the Jeep Gladiator a rival to a Ford Ranger? Not really. What about a Ram 1500? Kind of. It's actually most likely going to be cross-shopped against the Wrangler four-door, because it looks like a Wrangler ute, after all. But having driven it at its international launch in the US this week, we can tell you the Gladiator is a lot more than just a Wrangler with a tray.

Jeep has confirmed it will offer a fully electric model at some point, and that when that happens, it will still be a hardcore off-roader.

The Jeep Gladiator dual cab may be the brand’s most anticipated model in decades, but the company is also mulling a single cab version.

Jeep has revealed six new pick-up truck concepts ahead of the Moab Easter Jeep Safari, most of which are based on the all-new Gladiator dual cab ute.

A V8-powered version of the Jeep Wrangler and Jeep Gladiator hasn't been entirely ruled out - but the brand will need to do quite a bit of work if it wants to make this dream a reality.

April’s cooling weather may be the perfect time to take to the road in a new vehicle made for the long-haul holiday. There is a fresh crop of SUVs on the market and with it, a few great deals to sweeten the purchase. Here’s some deals to help you get out and explore.

Australians have always loved the idea of the ute, an iconic vehicle with outback cred, and indeed one that was invented here by a Ford engineer, but that didn't mean we actually bought them.

Jeep revealed two new plug-in hybrid models at the 2019 Geneva motor show, with the Renegade and Compass SUVs receiving a PHEV drivetrain. The Compass and Renegade PHEVs are the first plug-in hybrid models from the Jeep brand, and their introduction is set to underpin the production version of the Alfa Romeo Tonale.Both the Compass and Renegade PHEVs combine a 1.3-litre turbocharged four-cylinder petrol engine at the front and an electric motor mounted on the rear axle. This means there’s no physical connection between the front and rear axles, like the Toyota RAV4 hybrid and Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV.Jeep says from 142kW to 179kW of power will be available, which will allow both models to accelerate from 0-100km/h in around 7.0 seconds.The Renegade and Compass PHEVs offer a claimed electric-only range of up to 50km, and both are capable of traveling up to 130km/h on electric power alone. Overall fuel consumption is claimed as low as 2.2L/100km, and CO2 emissions will be “lower than 50g/km”.Despite the green credentials, the Compass and Renegade PHEVs are yet to be confirmed for Australia with Jeep's director of corporate communications, Tracie Stoltenburg telling CarsGuide the brand does not comment on future product. “It's very exciting news, however we do not speculate on future product - concept or production vehicles and we're not providing specific details, that is which vehicles and regions, at this time.”The exterior and interior treatment is remarkably similar to regular Renegade and Compass models with an extra 'fuel' door for charging, a '4x4-e' badge on the rear, a drive mode selector on the centre console and model-specific graphics on the driver's dials. Aside from those details, the visual transformation to PHEV is subtle.

The Jeep Grand Cherokee Trailhawk comes from a long line of tough, off-road-focused SUVs. But does that make it unliveable in the urban jungle? We spend a week in one to find out.
