2014 Jeep Cherokee: An Auspicious Debut

We have entered an era where automakers are increasingly unwilling to take risks, especially in the bread-and-butter compact SUV segment where vehicles ply their trade to shoppers with an increasingly broad range of choices. This is a big part of what makes the 2014 Jeep Cherokee so refreshing: here is …March 7, 2014

2014 Jeep Cherokee: Noticeably New3.5/5

After nearly 13 years of absence from the Canadian market, the Jeep Cherokee is back! It’s filling the void that was left when they nixed the Jeep Liberty, a model that never really made a name for itself in the compact SUV segment. The all-new Cherokee offers the same legendary …September 30, 2013

Jeep Wrangler vs. Land Rover LR4: Mud or Champagne?

Comparative Tests

The war between Jeep and Land Rover dates way back. It’s an off-road battle that pits superhuman power against pristine virtuosity. We thought we’d settle the matter for once and for all, so we organized a showdown between the Jeep Wrangler Rubicon and the Land Rover LR4. Between mud and …September 26, 2013

2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT: Throwing Down The Glove4.5/5

Let’s get this out of the way: no one needs a nearly-500 horsepower sport-utility vehicle. But that doesn’t mean that people don’t WANT one. Or, more specifically, that I don’t want one. The 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT is a people mover that courts absurdity with its phenomenal engine output, …August 2, 2013

2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT: Track-Driving The Monster

Drive the 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT on the Formula 1 track in Austin, Texas? Profane the Circuit of the America's with a 5,000 lb, four-wheel drive SUV from a brand better known for building unstoppable off-road rigs than tarmac-tearing terrors? When I was given the chance to do exactly …March 4, 2013

2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee EcoDiesel: Near-Luxury Efficiency

There’s a simple reason why Canadians buy so many compact cars: with gasoline so expensive compared to the SUV-hungry United States it only makes practical sense to purchase a vehicle that is as efficient as possible. In most cases, this means a small sedan or hatchback with an equally modest …February 25, 2013

2012 Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8 - Lucifer's SUV4.0/5

There’s no practical reason to own the 2012 Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8. There, I’ve said it. There are plenty of other mid-size SUV options out there – including within Jeep’s own line-up – that can out-tow the SRT8, carry as many or more passengers, provide respectable acceleration, and not completely …September 20, 2012

2012 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon: You Can Get There From Here4.0/5

There's one very simple truth about the Jeep Wrangler: either you get it, or you don't. Those who fall into the latter category are puzzled by the strong sales of an SUV that turns in uninspiring highway and city driving performance, marred by a stiff suspension system, imprecise steering and, …August 13, 2012

2012 Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8: A well-mannered brute4.0/5

SRT stands for Street and Racing Technology, Chrysler’s performance vehicle division. Note that this division is run by Canada’s own Ralph Gilles. Although no one thought to add “trails” to the acronym, that didn’t stop the powers that be at Jeep from designing an SRT8 version of its Grand Cherokee. April 26, 2012

2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee: Operation Moose Hunt4.5/5

For thousands of people in our country, moose hunting season is a time-honoured tradition. But since hunting means travelling to remote locations, you need a vehicle that can cope with bad roads and get you back home, hopefully, with the game. The Car Guide entrusted a Jeep Grand Cherokee to …December 29, 2011

2012 Jeep Wrangler: New mechanics3.5/5

Any time I’m offered the chance to drive a Jeep Wrangler, I accept with pleasure. Why? Quite simply, the Wrangler is very different from the other vehicles that I normally get to drive and, most importantly, it gives me a feeling of freedom and power. I feel like I’m driving …December 14, 2011

A Step in the Right Direction: The 2011 Jeep Compass4.0/5

Dodge's old Caliber was a surprising automobile... surprising insofar that such a large company, with countless checks and balances, would ever see fit to release such a product onto the market. Stuffed with acres of some of the worst plastics created since 1983, powered by an anaemic engine and CVT …September 10, 2011
