Jeep Wrangler Rubicons take on their namesake 4X4 track in the USA.
Toyota LandCruiser 200 GX review
Toyota’s new Land Cruiser 200 Series variant is badged a GX, but the compliance plate tags it as a ‘Commercial’, the handbook a ‘Station Wagon’.
Kia Sorento review
Kia’s Sorento has morphed from a cheap little 4X4 into a refined and big-value SUV.

Toyota has tweaked its ever-popular Hilux but will the changes be sufficient to see off new challengers from Ford and Mazda?
Prado vs Disco 4 vs Grand Cherokee comparison review
Jeep’s new Grand Cherokee is almost too cheap to be true, but does it compare to the king of the class, Toyota’s Prado, and the budget Land Rover D4?

Best 4x4s to buy
Our guide to the best off-road cars, SUVs and 4x4s.
Toyota LandCruiser
Fitting big tyres under this 200 Series for increased ability required a flair for engineering and the vision to make it happen.

It’s what’s under your kilt that matters – chipped, intercooled, turbo-diesel Toyota engine gets the wind up this Nissan.

It’s this magazine’s reigning 4X4 of the Year, but how does Jeep’s latest Grand Cherokee stack up against the established family wagon favourite, Toyota’s Prado GXL?
Tvan Tanami camper trailer review
The Tvan Tanami proves to be one of the best-designed units and scores particularly well for ease of set-up and need for minimal site area.
Ford SZ Territory review

Land Rovers unreliable? The owner of this trip-tricked Defender reckons it’s more a matter of attitude than mechanicals.
Jeep Wrangler Rubicon vs Land Rover Defender 90 vs Toyota FJ Cruiser review
