10 of the superb off-road vehicles you can buy in 2023 Gadgets 36T |
01: Isuzu D-Max
The Isuzu D-Max is a compelling choice, not least because
of its incredible off-road capabilities and no-nonsense stance. It drives as if
everything had just been burned down, but with a recent 'art de vivre'
refinement, the premium finishes offer enough comfort to keep a family happy.
02: Ineos Grenadier
New to the scene but not as new as you might think, the
Ineos Grenadier is inspired by the Defender and
G-Wagen. But the Grenadier is far from
an unwanted child, he has his own
sense of character and adventure. He is extremely capable on the field
and just as good on the road.
03: Jeep Wrangler
If you are looking for an off-roader with solid American
horsepower, look no further than the Jeep Wrangler. This is the latest version
of the Wrangler in which many changes have been made to make it lighter and
more efficient. A versatile off-road warrior who crushes mud and mountains with
her unique style.
04: Ford Ranger
Ford does what it does best with the Ranger. A 4x4 that combines street smarts with an unmatched work ethic and great cabin comfort.While top-of-the-line gear and Caboodles don't come cheap, the capabilities of Britain's best-selling pickup truck are undoubtedly a big part of its popularity. And yes, you will most likely take this opportunity to go to the supermarket. Still nice to have...Then take the raptor.
05: Fiat Panda 4x4
Once associated with arguably inefficient bobs (think
heartbeat), the
Fiat Panda 4x4 is a
hidden gem. Popular in Italy today, the panda exceeds its weight in many
ways. It has distinctive looks without being ugly, has plenty of cabin space,
is economical to drive and when it comes
to off-road it's basically a mountain goat.
06: Suzuki Ignis
Suzuki Ignis features several lofts.A competent compact
city car like the Toyota Aygo or VW Up, but a full SUV like the Dacia Duster is
an absolute exception. But it's well designed, not too thirsty and it has
character, so we're suitably charmed.
07: Subaru Forester
Subaru was in the off-road game for the Yonks. And what
the Subaru Forester lacks in style, it makes up for in agility and off-road
capability. This massive workhorse has plenty of plastics that prioritize
function over fashion - a wise choice.
08: Mercedes-Benz G-Class
Mercedes-Benz G-Class, the well-known trendy city
cruiser in AMG guise, is not just a
beautiful cruiser. It is also extremely capable off-road. While the price remains high, the fundamental changes
introduced in this latest version make it 170kg lighter than its predecessor.
It also has an improved cabin, better handling and consistent durability with
the same agility it has become known
for.
09: Dacia Duster
Dacia Duster is a true workhorse.You wouldn't imagine it,
but this extremely affordable four-wheel drive engine packs some seriously
impressive off-road capabilities, and daily freeway escapades aren't entirely
intimidating. So for the price, we're
suitably humble.
10: Land Rover Defender
The Defender, Land Rover's off-road hero in name and in
nature, doesn't come cheap but has a long history of 4x4 capability. In
addition, the Land Rover Defender is more comfortable than ever, actually too
chic. "Too elegant to be a real workhorse" by our standards.But Land
Rover has enough versions of this thing to please everyone. Maybe in the same
car, if that's what you mean.
