The appeal of a Jeep is infinite and their capabilities far reaching. Whether you’re looking for pure power, raw adrenalin or one of the safest, swishest, family rides out there, you can look no further. Owned and operated by adventurers and city dwellers alike, here’s a rundown of 2013’s top Jeep models and why they are perfect for anything you throw at them.
Jeep Grand Cherokee
At the top of the list sits the mighty Jeep Grand Cherokee. Equally at home whilst rumbling over rockbeds and dirt trails, the secret to this model is its combination of a tough V6 engine, cutting edge on-board safety features and its executive styling.
Fuel injected with floating calliper ABS brakes as standard means that with rapid acceleration and pinpoint stopping power, you can put the Grand Cherokee anywhere and it will excel. Enough room for the children and great on mileage make it not just a powerful choice, but an economical one too.
Jeep Wrangler
On the other edge of the scale sits the rugged Jeep Wrangler. Favoured by outdoorists and adventurers for years, this iconic Jeep has been used the world over for reaching difficult destinations and crossing hazardous terrains.
Small, compact and light for such a powerful beast, with removable doors, roof and a forged aluminium hood, all of which help keep the vehicle’s internal weight down. The 2013 model features a “wash-out” interior for when you decide to take it all the way off-road, and enough storage space to sling all your gear in the back and get out there.
More than just a set of hardwearing wheels, it’s almost become synonymous with freedom itself. Equally at home on the rippled sand of the Sahara to the tough rocky trails of North America and New Zealand. If you feel like city roads can’t hold you and you want to escape, then do it in a Wrangler.
Jeep Compass
Sitting midway between the Grand Cherokee and the Wrangler is the Jeep Compass. It’s equally hardwearing and durable and able to take its fair share of rough ground but has been designed so as to be perfectly adaptable to city life, school-runs and supermarket trips.
Spacious, sleek and extremely safe, it’s packed with features such as multistage airbags and stability controls to keep you safe in style.
