It’s time for another off-road showdown!
The four cars set to go head-to-head over this off-road course are a Jeep Wrangler, an Ineos Grenadier, a Land Cruiser 200 Series, and… a Volkswagen Touareg?!
The Touareg may seem out of place in this list, but trust us, it might be one of the most capable cars here! Let’s take a closer look at the stats…
The Jeep Wrangler rolls up with a 2-litre 4-cylinder petrol that’s been tuned to deliver 304hp and 400Nm. This power is sent to all four wheels, and it weighs in at 2,580kg. It is also equipped with a load of features to help it off-road, including front & rear locking diffs and a low-range mode.
Up next, we have the tuned Grenadier. It rolls up with a 3-litre straight-six diesel that puts down 249hp and 550Nm. This power is sent to all four wheels, and it weighs in at 2,740kg. It comes with low-range mode, standard locking centre diffs and optional locking front and rear diffs.
Following that, we have the Land Cruiser. It’s powered by a 4.5-litre twin-turbo diesel V8 that puts down 286hp and 650Nm. Power is sent to all four wheels via a 6-speed auto, and it weighs 2,555kg. In terms of off-road capabilities, it has a low-range mode and a Torsen limited-slip centre differential, as well as an adjustable ride height.
Finally, we come to the Touareg, which is powered by a 3-litre turbocharged V6 diesel to deliver 357hp and 767Nm. It has a 6-speed auto gearbox to send this power to all four wheels, and it weighs in at 2,700kg! But it comes packed with off-road tech that has led to the large weight increase!
