All-new Jeep Grand Cherokee L takes on the Nissan Y62 Patrol | 4X4 Australia 

Great review. Imagine the 5 seater trailhawk off-road. 18 in wheels, front sway bar disconnects, more clearance and lighter.

Compare the Jeep to the Defender not the Patrol as the Patrol can be bought for $85K d/w (even in COVID times) which is approx $40K less than the Jeep. The Defender is just as modern inside and would be a better buy than a Jeep. But which of these 3 is dependable and reliable - I don’t need to answer that. Also with the $40+K you save buying a Patrol you can buy a different centre stack for a couple thousand which modernises it and gets rid of the 90’s button fest.

In in contrast the Saudi Arabian hotel lobby have got two interiors updates in two years for the Patrol 😂😂

Thanks for the interior review. You drove two vehicles through some muddy puddles, skimmed over the fact that this large 4WD Cherokee can tow less then a dual cab Ute and spent most of the time bagging out the patrol interior.

Also on that going bigger tyre thing he brought up. First most people always upgrade there wheel and tyre combo. If you changed out those 21" rims for 18" and put the max tyre diameter size on, would be spot on, plenty big enough.

Can’t believe they gave us the worst engine in Jeep’s range and no diesel??

Since when did Aussies consider luxury as priority

Patrol 👑

Patrol, V8, can actually tow

$123000 for a Jeep? :D Right now and with the very ridiculous prices we have, that Patrol with its dated interior is the best value for money. Better than Landcruiser, Grand Cherokee, Defender, ... better than all of them!

Patrol byfar

Jepp is all show and shiny trinkets. The Nissan is fit for purpose and not likely to need to be put in a landfill in 5 years.

why the ozzys did not get the new interior of Nissan Patrol

Do Jeep still sell cars here?

You guys are so soft ! You are testing 4x4s like girls. Ole mates so concerned about the inside with all its sucky city screens and things ,( did he say this stupid piece of crap has a foot massager? ) Honest to god what has happened to this world and its people? Its a four wheel drive test and the jeep cannot even accommodate off road tyres. You drive it on dirt ROADS ! You dont test 4x4 ability that costs so much more as a choice in cars nowadays on roads a corolla could conquer! And who the hell spends that amount on something so not designed for the Australian bush . I think the marketing plan and design is more about tickeling your bunions and keeping your heamoriods warm whilst emptying your bank account as much as possible. I cannot see this thing (jeep) being pointed at any serious track in the victorian high country , i see it taking spoilt rich kids to school before mum goes and gets her third massage for the week (happy ending optional). As for the Patrol at least the really slow engineers at Nissan finally (50 yrs or so ) worked out that a fourby that size must have a V8. However they lost me when they changed the front end ! I drive a gu Patrol 6.2l LS3 6spd auto ,all the strong bits as my daily driver and family 4x4 for kids, dogs ,friends ,firewood, camping gear, work and play. In talking 4x4s you really should put into a context of scale exactly what capability , durability and practicality the vehicle has ! And when using the term 4x4 you need to remember that its called a 4x4 because its meant to do a serious job!

Fair review. I’m on the Patrol side of the review for the same reasons mentioned by the journalist. Jeep very nice urban cruiser with the occasional off road.

the 62's where a good buy a few years ago at 70 grand.. but then they jacked the price up to 100 grand.. and it's the exact same car.

in the U.S the patrol is sold as the armada pass every thing but a gas sta., as for Grand cherokee L needs to be 2 row solid rear axle - trail rated trial hawk could be a good off-roader /car camper overland wagon

Thankfully Toyota exists.

Not even comparable

Can't fit snow chains on the jeep.

Don't mention the Patrol paint peeling issues

Still much prefer the Patrol. Do not care much about the interior differences and always have the Jeep reliability issues in mind.

The only thing I don't understand, why in the hell didn't Jeep Australia give us the 5.7L hemi V8 option, which would've had a better tow rating, just don't understand there logic, but that's Jeep for you.. If I was in the market for a new Jeep GC, wouldn't buy one now wait for there new hurricane 3L 6 twin turbo coming out soon, will be a ripper.

No V8 for Australia so really puts it up against too many other better or cheaper cars, so for people who want or need the power without ringing the living daylights out of 6cyl or 4CYLs then Jeep Aust yet again have missed the Australian market.

Why no Grand Wagoneer or Wagoneer and Australia

it would have been good the Nissan Patrol got the updates like the Arabs do...and also it would be good if the Toyota Landcruiser 70 Series got an automatic option

i swear this channel used to actually do some proper off-roading, now it's just like every other cookie-cutter, car brochure reading channel.

What a pair of flogs 🤦🏼‍♂️🤦🏼‍♂️🤦🏼‍♂️🤦🏼‍♂️

I'm guessing Australia won't be getting the V8 Grand Wagoneer.

Any 2wd car could have driven that track! I bet that jeep with 21in rims wouldn't make it 10ft in sand dunes lol

Wow these guys really know nothing about offroading

Why do these people that do comparisons act as if the Grand Cherokee is not the best all around vehicle and extremely capable off-road?

sand dunes in a grand cherokee??

we want 2022 range rover and jeep grand cherokee l

1:12 I am sure you haven't been in Saudi Arabia but you think you are smart when you trash other countries

Would choose the Patrol over the Jeep any day. Jeep is way more expensive and way less reliable. There is one good thing about it though: no one wants to buy it who has common sense 😅

One year after this review was released, still don’t see any new Jeeps on the road. Nothing more than a Toorak tractor. Most people that buy a Patrol, will buy it to tow and go outback. No comparison. The Jeep can’t tow anything more than a camper trailer, and that’s for $125k. Ppffftttt.

Jeep all the way. Just looks good and you know it can go far

Biased review against the Patrol

Buy a jeep and talke about off road Buy a patrol and go for off raod

Now take the jeep through a river crossing and see how good ya electronics go after. You can't slap lipstick on a pig, i’ll take the patrol any day of the week.

The towing ability is big turn off.

🤣🤣 How much did you get paid for this rubbish 🤣🤣

The Jeep with that crap engine will have terrible resale value!!

I'll take the new Ford Everest in top trim.

Nissan

Patrol a dinosaur...Jeep has reliability issues

Worst review I have ever seen, total waste of time.
