| The Reviews |
| Jeep Grand Cherokee |
| This is the new version of the Grand Cherokee and while it looks
rather the same as the older model there is nearly a 100% turnover.
Big American looks abound as do high US standards so it isnÕt
any wonder that Range Rover are flustered and trying desperately to
win back some of its hard won territory. Engines donÕt really
come much bigger, with a 4.0 litre and 4.7 litre V8 allowing you to
cut a dash as well as a swathe through the traffic. On the motorway
you can juice on the loose it, in town GC is refined and user-friendly.
Good Point Great driving position, luxury, refinement, powerful engines and out on the range capability Bad Point Monster engines mean monster petrol bills – and absolutely avoid insipid 2.5 litre dieseler |
| BMW X5 |
| The X5 gets a freshening up for 2004.Corona headlamps are added,
which look like four large rings. There is a new grille too. The major
changes however are going on under the skin of the car. BMW have only
retained the 231bhp 3.0-litre petrol engine from the previous model.
The new 3.0-diesel as seen in the 5-series makes an appearance, with
34bhp more than the previous diesel. It now boasts 218bhp and is amazing.
BMW are not listing bigger engined versions on their price lists for
now, deciding instead to stick with its two main models, although
if you want one, you can always have one. X5's take a while to get
due to demand, so form an orderly queue. Good Point A nice blend of versatility, performance and luxury a great all rounder in every respect. Bad Point You either want a four wheel drive or you dont. Is it better than a Range Rover? |
| Mercedes-Benz M-Class |
| Unlike its predecessor, the G-Wagon, this one is designed for the
on-road customer, although it works just as well in a mucky field
as on the black tops. Watch out for succinct luxury, distinctive road-going
poise and raw Mercedes energy from either the 3.2 or 4.3 litre V6
petrol engines , the more economical diesels or the crazy 55AMG model.
Expect that feeling of empowerment you get from a) having the three-point
status symbol on your driveway, and b) the forthright driving position
that comes free with off-road vehicles. Made in the USA, where despite
the non-Merc build it is a runaway success. Good Point Key factors include well-appointed roomy cabin, high levels of safety, high levels of standard equipment ~ Bad Point Not many faults, pricey though and you can get more for the money elsewhere in this segment. |
| Land Rover Discovery |
| An impressive revision to the original theme but without too much
external tinkering. Fine engines meet with ACE (Active Cornering Enhancement),
that stiffens the suspension on the road but softens the ride at slower
speeds, bringing the gap between genuine off-roader and road-goer
that little bit closer. ABS and EBD (Electronic Brake Distribution)
mean the road ride package is almost perfect ten. Good Point Still one of the best off-roaders in the country. Bad Point Starting to show its age just a little. |
| Toyota Land Cruiser |
