2022 Jeep Gladiator review

The Gladiator Rubicon is the ultimate Jeep ute with off-road gear aplenty. It has all the pros and cons of a Wrangler, just with a big tray.

If you are looking to do weekends away and an excuse to head bush, then the Gladiator is a winner – provided payload and towing aren't essential.

Jeep's range-topping Compass has the coveted Trail Rated badge on its flanks. Does it have the capability to back it up?

It's big and impractical, but the Jeep Gladiator has something most of its rivals just can't match – it's seriously cool.

The Jeep Compass is handsome, and it's a huge step forward from the first-generation car. But there's better value to be found in the range than the S-Limited – and in rival line-ups.

You pay a price for the Jeep Wrangler's excellent off-road ability and buckets of character. There's the relatively high RRP, for one, not to mention a mediocre safety rating.

Some might look at the new Jeep Gladiator as a bit too pricey, but it possesses a cool factor that can't be matched by its dual-cab rivals.

Almost as fast as a Lamborghini Urus for a hell of lot less coin. The Trackhawk is the sort of car no one needs, but we all desperately want.

The Gladiator is the Jeep we all want – the Wrangler – with more space for all your stuff in the back. Sounds good, right?
