Before the ungodly Trackhawk arrived last year, the SRT was the ultimate high-performance Jeep. While it received mild upgrades for 2018—including the Signature Leather Wrapped Interior package that added new carbon-fiber trim, black exterior badging, and 20-inch satin carbon wheels—there are no updates for 2019.
Pros Extraordinary acceleration, aggressive exterior styling, more practical than the Dodge Charger and Challenger SRT models.
Cons Poor fuel economy, steep price for a Jeep, overshadowed by the bonkers-mad Trackhawk version.
No significant changes for 2019.The 2019 Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT comes with four wheel drive. Available transmissions include: 8-speed shiftable automatic.
Pros Plush interior with plentiful luxury and technology Enough off-road ability to conquer practically any trail Available V8 engines offer substantial power Impressive tow ratings for the class
Cons Firm ride quality may disappoint, even with air suspension Limited cargo capacity compared to top rivals Underwhelming acceleration with base V6
With its rugged body-on-frame construction, heavy duty hardware and new-age technology that enable it to crawl over obstacles, the Prado is not for pretenders. To be fair, the Prado is far from rudimentary. It feels solid on the road at highway speeds and around town, although you quickly learn to take roundabouts a little more gingerly because of the tendency for big, tall and heavy 4WDs like this to lean in corners. The new engine is a worthwhile freshen-up for the Prado but doesn't suddenly transform the vehicle.
Likes New diesel engine is more refined Long range due to better economy and 150L tanks Genuine off-road ability
Dislikes Towing capacity unchanged at 2500kg The price is high, especially on top end models Interior design starting to look a little dated
Cast an eye over the SUV market and you’ll see very few truly off-road capable vehicles. One of them is the Toyota LandCruiser Prado, and here we’ve got the most capable Prado of all, the top-shelf Kakadu.The LandCruiser Prado Kakadu is a very good off-the-shelf off-roader, with its blend of both tradi-tional and modern off-road equipment. With decent all-terrain or mud-terrain tyres (which nearly all standard SUVs would need) we reckon the Kakadu could go just about anywhere.
Likes Rear axle articulation KDSS system Crawl control
Dislikes Lack of power and torque Over-bonnet vision No height-adjustable front suspension
