JEEP WRANGLER
We remove the roof and head into the concrete jungle on urban safari
MILEAGE 16,250 WHY WE’RE RUNNING IT To find out if the quintessential Jeep is really a vehicle you can live with every day
When people talk about elephants in rooms, they are usually referring to some looming threat or fault. However, in the very special case of our Jeep Wrangler Sahara, the elephant refers to a glorious positive. Not only that, it’s also an asset that no other Jeep family member can boast, let alone any of the Wrangler’s more conventional rivals. The entire roof can be lifted off. All four doors can be removed, too, and the windscreen will fold forwards onto the bonnet, safari-hunter style.
This, along with the robust ride and the general Tonka toughness of every aspect of the Wrangler, is why people so often reckon it’s quite similar to a traditional Land Rover Defender but with modern facilities (central touchscreen, adaptive cruise control, ventilation that works), and they’re right to do so.
