SUVs : Car Reviews And News

I am a big Jeep Wrangler fan, but I really wish they offered a V8 option. As it is now only a V6 is available. If you want a V8 in your Wrangler, you have to go aftermarket.

When it comes to hopping up rides, Jeep fans are among some of the most voracious consumers of stuff. There’s a massive number of aftermarket companies making accessories for the Wrangler, and the Jeep Gladiator will undoubtedly have its share of add-ons as well.

After all the speculation and leaks, the 2020 Jeep Gladiator truck got official this week at the 2018 LA Auto Show. The 218-inch long Gladiator looks like a 4-door Wrangler with a 5-foot bed tacked onto its back.

Honda teased the new 2019 Passport a while back, and promised to unveil the new SUV at the LA Auto Show. That official unveil has happened, and it turns out that the Passport is a 5-passenger V6 SUV aiming at adventure seekers.

The Range Rover Evoque has remained largely unchanged since its original release back in 2010. If you ask me, that’s because Land Rover got so much right with its original styling that it’s held up all this time.

I’ve long thought the Toyota RAV4 was a solid and dependable ride for everyday driving. But with the new 5th-generation model due out for the 2019 model year, the RAV4 isn’t just a good vehicle, it’s a great one.

The thought of SUVs road racing never really crossed our minds until Bentley took its Bentayga SUV to Pikes Peak this year and set a class record up the mountain. Now, Lamborghini has an idea for an awesome looking SUV designed for racing in a single marque series that it plans to launch in 2020.

Honda is teasing the 2019 Passport – an SUV that will sit between the CR-V and the Pilot in the SUV line. If the name sounds familiar, that’s because Honda sold a Passport SUV back in the 1990s that was basically a repackaged Isuzu Rodeo.

Details on the upcoming Jeep truck, now known as the Gladiator, have turned up on a forum after FCA erroneously posted them on their media site for a short while. Now that we can see it without camo, the Wrangler-based mid-size truck is exactly what I had hoped for.

With winter pretty much upon us, thoughts of warmer days take hold, and with them memories of various off-road adventures we have undertaken. Take the Toyota 4Runner TRD Off-Road Premium for instance, which serves as a time capsule both in the bright green foliage around it, and within the vehicle itself.

As hot as the truck market is in the US – and with sales of trucks booming – you would think all the automakers would want their trucks to be offered here. Many buyers would gladly take a truck rather than an SUV for the extra utility.

If glamping is a real word, then I guess gloff-roading is now too, because Rolls-Royce Cullinan is the most glamorous, luxurious, and pampering off-roader ever created. After all, what would you expect from an SUV named after the largest diamond ever mined?

Do you like Land Rovers? How about mud? Then tune in and enjoy this fun video featuring a Land Rover Defender 90 ripping through fields and spewing mud everywhere. The clip “Farmkhana: Wild in the Fields” was put together by Club86, who headed to a privately-owned farm in their tricked out turbodiesel 1986 Defender, and proceeded to mash the gas pedal as hard as they could.

Packing a 707 hp Hellcat HEMI V8 straight from the factory, we already know that the Jeep Grand Cherokee Trackhawk is a monster. But the guys at Hennessey Performance are never satisfied with stock, and cranked theirs up to make an extra 500 horses or so.

The days of the manual transmission are coming to an end. Many European automakers have already killed off the manual, like Audi. Thankfully, it appears that Ford isn’t quite ready to give up on the manual, and a new rumor suggests that the new Bronco will get a 7-speed manual option to mate with its expected 2.7-liter EcoBoost V6.
