- The new Land Rover Discovery is an amazing car. But is it the best off-roader, er, off-road? Subscribe now: smarturl.it/autocar
We've come to an abandoned quarry and brought five 4x4 rivals to take on the new Land Rover.
They're the original off-roader, the Jeep Wrangler. Is the original still the best? They're joined by a Mercedes-Benz G-Class, an Isuzu D-Max with Arctic Truck accessories, a Toyota Land Cruiser, and our wildcard, the Dacia Duster.
All of these cars is on tyres offered as original equipment by their manufacturer, but to try and negate differences highlighted by tyres alone, we've picked a series of tests on a dry day that should challenge the hardware of the car itself, not the tyres its wearing.
Join @matty_prior and the Autocar team as we try to decide: which is the best 4x4.

I love the Dacia, but its a SUV for ligth off road, and yes, the Jeep it's made for all terrain, not a SUV.
Maybe a competent off-road driver would produce very different result ?
You forgot the champion
Suzuki Jimmy
They were too scared....The JIMNY would dance over the course
If only they'd put a real engine in the jimny, 100hp is utterly pathetic for a car released in 2019.
Pretty sure made it intentionally
Yeah right that's Suzuki sucks bring it on real trails in America and watch it flip over in 2 seconds because it's so skinny and little like a box the Jeep will walk all over it all day at rock crawling totally Factory form
"the duster was just to good to get stuck"love that little car i could buy one for 15k if it was in the USA oh well the jeep is still good .
THE DACIA IS THE WORST CAR EVER MADE JUST LOOK THE ENG. MAN
jeep sucks'
You should to use the same tires on all vehicles...
really? are you going to put those big isuzu wheels on the dacia duster, or vice versa?
@Professor Liberal Avenger you could say put the same shocks, same brakes, same everything. they are different vehicles and the manufacturer sells them with certain equipment. of course they are all different vehicles, so trying to make them the same vehicle in any way is going against what the manufacturer had in mind. if its a stock vehicle test then you have to keep it stock
@Professor Liberal Avenger who is going to pay for all those tires? The youtube channel requests all these vehicles on loan. They have no right to ask the dealer or manufacturer to pay for new tires. It is a stock vehicle test. Stock is stock from the dealer. You are free to create your own video and buy all the tires you want to pay for
@@healthyamerican None of these cars comes with AT Tires, so none should have them in a test.
@@jdexplores01 are you saying the jeep and isuzu come with road tires? i dont know about the isuzu, but jeeps come with at tires, provided you dont get a sahara, or maybe a strip down model.
Why did not you test the dacia on the last one ...... I do like an underdog
Why did not you not listen the explanation of the rules ?......
the rules were dumb
they just wanted to make the duster look like the worst car, you could see that from the beginning; and the "sherpa" didn't do his job of navigating through the rocks. Bull shit of a test!
i drove a dacia and it's horrible
Elfakir Abderrahim you didn't drive the right one ;)
the results varied obviously cause of the driving: drove the g-wagon caring he would scrape it, drove the wrangler and isuzu like as if they were toys...
Ik this is late, but you would drive them differently would you not? The G-Wagon which is 3x more expensive then the Jeep is worse just because you can't push it as hard without breaking something which would considerably cost more then to fix a jeep or isuzu.
You forgot the duster
The driver was an "arschlock"
Can you try better the g-vagon?
You didnt drive the g class like the d max I think because you dont want to damage it
Obviously he is not a manual gear driver. Duster is very, very capable!
exactly
And brokes in a month
You being Romanian has nothing to do with your bias right?
This was alot of fun to watch. Thanks for making longer videos again.. 2011-2014 was really great on youtube, but it's gone downhill since it seems.
For the price of the Dacia Duster you can add a lift kit and suspension with some AT tyres it would be able to keep up with most of the cars without effort. Dacia's selling point is the price, its a fully fledged 4x4 that can keep up stock but with about £2k into it, it can perform aswell as the rest.
The Duster doesn't have a split-differential and it doesn't have low range gears. It isn't a proper off-roader. The course simply wasn't a proper off-roader.
im sorry but the lack of a low range gearbox makes it quite useless offroad, no matter how high up you get it . its only advantage is it is so cheap to repair (i guess) that you would not mind going a bit fast and damaging something in the process
It looks like a shitbox
Dacia costs only 10k € in Europe.
@@broli85 1st and 2nd gear is very short like low range
Jeep Wrangler is petrol version n off-road tyres that's why response is fast.
Isuzu is also having big wheels n off-road tyres n its a truck.
In my point of view Land Rover is a winner
how can the land rover be the winner when it sucked on the rock crawl. land rovers are no longer meant to be taken off road. thats now a gimmick. they used to put their land rovers out with a camel trophy event..they no longer do that. now they show them driving through water puddles
The Jeep is better because the suspension has way more articulation and it has front and rear lockers you just don't know because you're not from America and you don't see what Jeeps can really do this test the Jeep could do in two-wheel drive
James:Good News!!!!
Jeremy:What???
James: It's the new Dacia Duster
Jeremy:Oh wow!! Anyway...Now let's move on....
Jeremy : "Yes, let's move on"
Gowtham Oleti dacia duster is really a good car for the money
Gowtham Oleti ]
I like the jeep One bcz it's so comfortable than others
Banamwana Roma
The Dacia Duster is less than half of the price of the next cheapest contender, the Dacia wins hands down. They backed off the rock crawl, when it probably could have completed the course with some minor scratches. They couldn't bog the Dacia in the mud and they refused to let the Dacia go around the final course, because although it would have been the slowest, it would probably still have got around. For a car that costs so little to be able to compete with the big purpose built off roaders is quite simply incredible.
Michael Kaliski half not.... even more.. hahah the g with those extras is more than 100k you can get like 9 dusters for that price... or get a duster spend like 5k more on it like proper tires and shit.. and then beat the crap out of all the others expensive cars with lets say 20k ? hahah
Man **** that Dacia
john doe Genital enhancements for duster eh mate??
sooo true look at dacia duster mudster!!!!
mudster.ro/
Carolicious Channel given they are about to replace the Jimny, and probably wreck it, there may be an opening for a pimped up Duster.
I think the Duster is one of the best value cars out there. In my younger days I worked on sites and had a 91 escort van. An old work beater that was that simple it just worked, year on year. It was cheap, and hard waring inside. The Duster for me fits the same type of mold. If I wanted a work car, or lived somewhere that needed a bit of off roadimg in the winter, this is the work /family car I'd have.
A good capable car that isn't that expensive I'd not be scared of scratching.
An honest car, not many about today. Everyone is chasing the lower luxury end. Ie an unhonest car.
Brilliant off-road test! Now I know which 4x4 I'm going to buy for my Sunday drives around Chelsea.
Some people should NOT make offroad videos LOL
Or wait until 2019 for a Defender replacement. 😣
I have zero confidence that the new Defender will be anything but a mall crawler.
the "DUSTER" already win,
just by competing with those expensive cars👌👌👌👌👌👌👌
Eglancis Dkhar The Wrangler is also about that cheap
Joel Arun what??????
Joel Arun you can literally buy 3 dacias for one jeep
Eglancis Dkhar
In the U.S
This is a European review and I'm American so prices and cars r different
I think you should have also included the toyota fj cruiser. But great video anyway thanks a lot!!
Nissan's missing. Where's the Nissan Patrol?
The Disco is so snob now and with those fancy wheels and slim tyres no one would take it to such trails.
The Dacia is probably the best value 4x4 when you consider its off road capability and its price. But in this test where money wasn't exactly an object here it wasn't as good as the big boys. The Dacia would probably put a lot of soft roaders to shame tho.
It was actually just as good as "the big boys", they tried but didn't manage to get it stuck in the mud, and that "sherpa" could have done a better job navigating the idiot driver through that rock field.
Plus driver don't know how to drive manual gearbox.
Divlji Bučak what an idiot lol😂😂
wasn't the best duster for the job and the traction control works to compensate for the lack of diff lock when turned on...
rich Williams I doubt it it’s a Renault beneath the skin it would break down, what would you consider a soft roader the Volvo SUVs use volvos haldex that the Discovery uses. VOLKSWAGEN SUVs use 4motion which is seriously good off road.
Thanks for the sound advice. Now I know what to expect and what not to expect at my suburb's shopping mall.
Really good off road test with the result not such a surprise! Good review and segment!!!👍👍👍
3:04 - Wallop!
Durable tho
how you can understend who is better acording this test?
I've got a gen5 Discovery and it's so much fun to drive! I love it!
I think a more experienced driver would have been a better choice for this test...
why would you insult the driver...i`m sure he has more driving on and off road experience than 99% of those who will ever see this video
The video was nice until the last test ... then no meaning .
Completely agree. Totally pointless test, any of them would have gone just as quickly if the idiot driving had pressed the pedal harder!
A speed test in low range?
Ok, I had same feeling.....
Wrangle is the best off roader
Should at least done three laps which each vehicle and get an average.
14:27 - Woah, that's some weird chassis dynamics going on there.
Thomas Harrison-Lord especially for that truck with the fox shocks an independent front suspension should be soaking those whoops up like that but yeah that truck looks like it's well unbalanced
Thomas Harrison-Lord zzz
4:57 just listen to that locking, this is why we love this thing
This is much better than Top Gear (or Grand Tour). Articulate, informative and British humor without the cheap and boring innuendos
I know u was payed to trash Dacia. It's soooo clear u did not even try to drive the car. LOOOLL
You being Romanian has nothing to do with your view Loooool
I prefer duster gonna buy it soon
Where is the Fiat Panda 4x4 that car is so good in the terrain
Marnix Moné I was about to say the same thing. It's even lighter than the Dacia, has more ground clearance, smaller overhangs, and is as cheap. And it's good looking. I love it
fuck the fiat, a Lada Niva would have been really interesting
Rotz Löffel Why would you want to do that !!??? There isn't any hole in a Panda that would be suitable for the job... Whereas, in the Lada, there are plenty, due to rust issues.
Joke aside, I would agree the Lada could be an interesting candidate, but I'm more interested in Pandas. Sorry...
Pandas are pretty bad at offroading, theyre just not purposely made for that. shitty clearance, no diff locks, only small tires can be fitted etc.
Ambergr
Nice video, would have been interesting to compare to an old defender.
the last test is a bit pointless nonetheless I don't think you used the G-wagon to it's full capacity its taller, shorter, narrower and has similar if a little bit worse over hangs than the jeep. I think you just went too carefully as you didn't want to break it cause its expensive. I think it would have been a better competitor if you would have dared to drive it a little faster.
little bit faster wont make it 20 seconds quicker XD
People can't go offroad in the g class because is expensive to fixed people think land cruiser is the best because is cheap to maintain and reliable the best off road in the g class is the one which are made with the Mercedes benz company them self because they dont care if it get broken.
The Duster doesn't have off-road tires...
neither did the g wagon
BEASTNT101 i can buy 10 dusters while u spend your money on one of those cars
Alterate Awful and it will break 10 times faster
Kyle McGillivray my dad has a 14 year dacia logan and its still working without problems
Kyle McGillivray dacia cars are actually guite reliable
Is it only me or evryone feels that they purposly made the duster look bad
-the first challenge he stoped
-and it doesn t have offroading tires
They are brought as is ! It tests the cars the same shape they come from factory, The d’max with its big rubbers is standard and not aftermarket. They didn’t try to make the duster look not off road worthy, it just is not off road worthy for this kinda extreme trail cuz obviously it’s smaller and less capable.
As soon as the duster smashed hardcore on that rock, I smashed like button! Haha! Priceless
THAT IS A PRADO. NOT A LAND CRUISER 200 THAT WE WANT !
The rear of that disco is awful!!!
All of it is awful. LoL
Ya know, I have an old Disco 1, and the new one doesn't impress me in the least when it comes to off road capabilities. It actually reminds me of a Ford Explorer, and that isn't a compliment. My gen one would wipe the floor with the new one.
Sad really. I just don't understand why automakers feel the need to add so much complexity to vehicles these days. Granted, they know who they are selling to and Im sure that the new Disco is great back and forth from the mall, but a part of me wants LESS.
Colin Chapman used to say "add lightness"; I believe some automakers need to add simplicity.
TrafficScience the whole thing has odd proportions imo
With Style it's got a long sleek body then that stupid fat back end that just doesn't fit.it doesn't fit the discovery design
Teddy Sapp pretty ridiculous that if one would look for simplicity...it probably would cost 3 times as much...or you'd have to build your own
Hooray for the Jeep Wrangler! :D That was an awesome run! ^__^
Very interesting. Thanks Man.
I think the tires on that Jeep did more than you think they did.
Martin Espinoza Yes definitely
LOOK NO BRAKES quite ridiculous having full off-road tyres only on the jeep.
Just how they come out the showroom.. If anything it's entirely reasonable that the jeep had those tyres.
Nope, BFG Mud Terrains are aftermarket tyres - not a factory option. But, they made little difference in this test.
Jimbob Jones Wrong. BFG mud TA'S do come stock on Jeeps as a factory option.
That is not the proper Land Cruiser. That is Prado
I agree
A 70 series Land Cruiser was a more similar vehicle to the likes of the Jeep used in the comparison
I think it was testing newer cars
Yes!
Why can't he get cars right!?
He has one job.
Fun video to watch. Finally not an AMG G Class but the much nicer Diesel instead!
Thank you for the honesty.
You've been an arse at the first attempt with the Dacia!
Filippo Rindone that dacia is very capable with a capable driver. He obviously isn't
Filippo Rindone it was a ground clearance issue - that has nothing to do with capability. He acknowledges that the Duster is impressive elsewhere...
he sucked at driving it, "manual gearbox"
SXsoft99 i
Jeep Wranglers are absolute beasts!
Yes they are and that's not even the best one nor does this guy even know how to drive it well or take it to its max. They will crawl up boulders in Factory form because they are simple. Long travel suspension with lots of articulation and full lockers why nothing else put the G wagon I have no idea
would be interesting to see the wrangler up against a proper Defender or an old Discovery 2... looks like it is more comparable to those than the what it was up against in this video... still interesting to watch
I have a disco series 2 on 33s lifted with no sway bars and lots of flex and I live in Tucson Arizona with tons of rock crawler Trails and it does okay but a stock Jeep Wrangler Rubicon still does better because it has more flex and front and rear lockers and the wheelbase is a little bit wider. It's just sad that Land Rover went the direction they did thinking they were doing better it makes no sense it literally has no excuse. You should see how good a Jeep does in the hands of a skilled Jeep owner Factory or modified. The Jeep will climb those rocks at a 40° incline going through a huge ditch while it's raining hahaha and yeah I'm a very serious disco driver I love it so much but the Jeeps are everywhere down here and they really are just better even though they're trendy a dime a dozen they're better
I enjoyed it although I think the last test could have been replaced with something more related to offroading. Speed is perhaps not the most important feature when you go offroad. It would also have preferred if the same type of tires were used on all vehicles.
you should take the toyota land cruiser instead of a toyota prado land cruiser
Isuzu was amazing but y the hell are u comparing the duster with such expensive cars lol u had the g wagon and Land Rover both in the same category as the duster it's just a soft roader u can't compare it with these biggiies
Awesome comparison! Can't beat the original. It looks so graceful and composed while eating up the course.
I think it's also kind of funny how I think a 75th anniversary Jeep (with no lockers and maybe an LSD) beat cars with expensive locking setups
If the Duster had an automatic gearbox as well it would have put the rest of the SUV's to shame also given that it is like half the price of the next cheapest contender.
no offense but all was set up.... dacia beats all off them, nex time if reporter says somethnig(like example dacia u can't lock 4 weel drive, bull...) u can see it has it option. shame on car reporter
Yep, especially when you consider that the Dacia is playing in the same field as the others for considerably less money. Imagine if they threw a Suzuki Jimney into the mix!!!
hahaha that duster was hilarious
why did they not use the diesel duster
in the first test he go with the duster at bouth climings he go on the closed right part of the road judt to hit the poor car .... jerk ... why u did not go in the middle of the road ? because if he did that he cheap duster woud clime faster than others expensive cars ... !
What a joke!! The jeep has full off-road tyres and the other cars had standard/road-biased tyres. The disco had Pirelli scorpions. #clickbait
Rodina Bajnovci Tyres had little relevance in these tests. Also the Disco was armed with lots more off-road tech and it still lost out to the Jeep. Tge Geand Cherokee would also smash the ugly disco
george mcray what rubbish mate! If tyres mean nothing why not go off-roading with bald tyres? A whole industry exists for off-roading and tyres are a massive part of that.
+Rodina Bajnovci The Wrangler was indeed shod with aftermarket BFG Mud Terrains but none of these tests were extreme enough to require anything more than good all-terrain tyres.
Jimbob Jones Agreed. Which is why I am always annoyed with motoring 'journalists' who do these kind of videos just for clicks/views. These silly type of 'head-to-head' videos have no bearing on which of these cars you or I will ultimately buy. If it was at least funny then we can enjoy it simply as entertainment.
Jimbob Jones jeep offers the Mud TA's stock. In fact BFG makes the original Mud TA (not the KA2) in one size and one size only specifically for Jeep.
Another great Autocar Video
You should have tried the la farrari out on this course.
Not surprised
I love the Jeep
Also would’ve loved to see the Jimmy have a go
Those two are my favourite off-roaders haha
Well those and the raptor of course 😎
Hahaha as if the jeep had any competition, and the best thing is that they didn't even go with the rubicon, I'm assuming to keep it more dramatic for the other lame cars.
" 'MURICA!" detected
Your one of those blind ass holes who does not notice the tires on the Jeep. The Disco isn’t even the main off road car Rover makes. The wrangler is the main off roader that Jeep makes. Your comment is a display in American Ignorance. It’s especially funny since Jeep is now Italian property.
Ghetto, let's do talk about ignorance; I will address each one of your points in same order as you made them.
1) The tyres on all these cars are part of the Factory Kit; if the Jeep was better prepared for an off-road test, don't cry foul; blame Land Rover for making urban life first priority for the Discovery. Your point is invalid.
2) The Discovery is not LR's top Off Roader, this is true, but neither is the base Wrangler shown; the Wrangler Rubicon is even more impressive, and I would suggest the the two door Wrangler Rubicon would fare even better and for considerably less money than the Discovery or the Range Rover. Again, your point is invalid.
3)Your attempt at making fun about the fact that Jeep is now owned by FCA LLC is especially ironic when you consider that Land Rover has been owned by British Leyland, then BMW, then FORD, and is currently an Indian property, as in TATA motors. Once again your point is invalid.
The bitch about calling anyone ignorant is the fact that you have to make sure you know that person is wrong AND, most important, knowing that you are right; you have failed here too. Hit me up if you would like some Trolling classes (or go practice in Reddit)
Juan Hernandez Ok I guess I gotta day something now lmfao. First of all I never said Land Rover was a british car, and quite frankly I couldn’t care less, however Americans do act like Jeep is American when it really is a Italian car. Also the Wrangler is definitely more of an off roader than the discovery. The wrangler itself is their top off roader, the Rubicon is the best trim level for off roading in a wrangler. I don’t get what you are saying. The wrangler and the G wagon for that matter are dedicated off roaders so surely they would have an advantage. Also sure the tires may be factory but that doesn’t mean it is fair all of a sudden. The tires also give the wrangler an advantage. I don’t care if it is factory, it’s still an uneven comparison. The defender would be a more equal car but that’s not in production as of now. It’s a shame Rover makes such shitty cars now, the discovery we had was a real off roader, now they just build soccer mom cars. Anyway yes I would like your trolling classes because your reply was actually pretty good and well done. I still disagree, but hey that’s just me.
Ghetto, no point to convince someone with a passion for a brand. Simple fact is i lived in Dubai for 5 year and owned a Wrangler as well as a Toyota Prada. Did dune bashing and a bit of crawling with both. The Wrangler chewed through 3 transmissions (and tons of other little stuff here and there) while the Prada was on standard service and maintenance the entire time. Is the Wrangler cooler, yes! Is it better? No!
I think he dont know about the extended mode of air suspention in the discovery
This was a stupid unfair test
There were totally different price tags on them and then why not throw in a pickup too
You should do one for the trucks include the Tacoma and some other American rivals
Then one with bigger suvs like the g wagon and the land cruiser with the 4 runner as well
Then do the duster with a Forester and some other small suvs
Then it would be a good video
Now repeat the test with all cars on off-road tyres.
All these people praising the dinky dacia as a capable offroader, funny, i dont see them at any offroad tracks i frequent
Probably because nobody knows that they are actually g8
Great Video!
on the JK if you put it in 4hi and hold down the traction control button it turns off not only the traction control but the ESC as well. so you could've in theory done that course of yours at 80kmh
DUUUUUUUUSSSSTEEERRRR IS THE BBBBBBBBEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSTTTTTTTT!!!!! it's everywhere in my school. Literally in every class 😎😎😎
People on here think the Disco is ugly. see one in the flesh and it's impressive. I would say it is the best here by far because it does all the off road stuff amazingly well and it's supremely refined unlike the Jeep. Seven seats, sophisticated load lugger that can tow your horsebox waist deep in mud and finish off Knightsbridge with a cocktail. The only car that comes close to that is the Mercedes but that is a overpriced Defender.
peanuts2105 with you on that one. But hey I get mine in two days. woo hoo!
peanuts2105 Have to strongly disagree in the metal the new Disco is hideously out of proportion and ugly from most angles.
"overpriced defender"
peanuts2105 landcruiser prado, Kakadu line (top of the line) Beauty, quality, extreme off reading skill, and 8 seats...
Well said peanuts, had one on hire couple weeks back, mighty impressive
Why couldn't the Dacia have atleast gone around the final test? It obviously has a low ground clearance so kicking it out when you put it over some big rocks was hardly fair. I bet it would have flew around the final test and you couldn't purposefully get it stuck in the mud etc. IMO all considered the Dacia done best.
Momentum helped a lot of these 4x4s ascend the slopes. Slower speeds would better expose their actual capabilities.
G wagen dont have competitor
yeah thats why it lost, no one knows if its an off roader or a road car or whatever, ITS USELESS xd
At least its cooler than your 95 civic
Luka Poseidon unless the civic is tuned and g wagon doesnt have vtec
@@lukaposeidon8490 the civic is way better than that piece of junk Mercedes plus it has vtec
Yeah that's why the cheap model Jeep Wrangler one and it's not even the Rubicon which is way better
1. Duster
2. Isuzu
3. Wrangler
Volia......they also represent their price in the same order!
thank you for your test driving and professional comments ! Jeep it was for me too, the fastest and best of all the cars I've ever had in 40 yrs of driving !
Right so what was the mpg of each vehicle?
problem with all land rovers is they cost so much to fix and end up in the junk yard within ten years
healthyamerican no .. iv got a 110 defender 300tdi iv done 200thousand miles and never touched it apart from tyres , brake pads etc . And parts are very cheap to buy . The new discovery /range rovers on the other hand are unreliable expensive junk
As oppose to filthy, inexpensive junk, which summarises most 200 and 300 TDI Defenders and Discovery's. Those old TDI engines are like industrial revolution factories they are so smokey and dirty. And of course you've never touched it, there is sod all on a TDI Defender to go wrong in the first place. They are akin to a 1950's car in terms of their spec.
Mike B doesn't bother me one bit as I'm getting a land cruiser soon
The latest model of Land Cruiser look really nice especially compared to the old model as shown in this video. For me it was a serious toss up between that and the Discovery 5, but I felt the Discovery was more comfy on road, and I know that is where it will spend the vast majority of its time. I do a bit of light off roading in the Discovery 5 at the weekends, but nothing too much as its new and I don't want to wreck it. I have a little Jimny that goes to the tougher places.
Tell that to my LR who doesn't seem to live up to the unreliable reputation
Tampit sofer ! Off road nu se conduce asa cu viteza la deal si denivelari mari.
Why wasnt the Duster included in the final test????
Enjoyable video. Not the best way to compare off road vehicles, but certainly the most fun way. :)
That's not a real Land Cruiser
LynxAdvert yes it is
No. It's what the rest of the world would call a Prado.
LynxAdvert mine has both names on the back, so take your pick. But all these are amazing vehicles; they just keep going though things you wouldn't believe. I was out in my friend's Isuzu today, and yeah, it's not comfortable, but it's immensely capable. I know my landcruiser / Prado will go through anything. Put it in low range, and let the diesel pull you up the hill at idle. For 99% of us, these cars will do whatever you ask of them, and if you want to push it further, you start modifying.
yea .its a prado
+Lynx Advert its so true he should take land cruiser 200 series for the test
What about audi and bmw? Would be interesting how the quattro and xdrive do in comparison
BTW. Other people do some impressive stuff with that dacia and you weren't... Hmmm
With Style Audi and BMW have too much on road bias and not enough wheel articulation. I think they would have both got knocked out on the rock crawl if not before. Would have been interesting to see though.
patfromozZ yeah that rock part definitely could have been a problem, but the rest just as a comparison still worth doing especially because that land Rover same as the quattro and xdrive doesn't have locking differentials
kinda tend to think the dmax tires arent stock
You should drew the line first on the rocks just to make sure all the vehicle follow exactly the same path.
g class and wrangler. anything else is just a waste of money
turshin The G-wagon is a total waste of money. It drives like it's age. 40 years old
LOOK NO BRAKES tough as nails though
How many Wranglers can you get for the price of one G-wagon?
I like❤ land Rover
I'd have liked to have seen how the Jeep Grand Cherokee WK2 faired against the disco. I'd also liked to have seen the Suzuki Jimny, suspect that would have done anything the bigger 4x4s did, and if not, it would have done way better than the duster...
You mist have picked duster 4x4 with some offroad tires
Land rover any time 😊👍
except when it comes to off roading
give it 10 years and the only ones working still will be the Toyota and the Isuzu......
this is probably one of the most important metrics, and definitely the most overlooked by car reviewers
And probably the Dacia, too. Remember, built in a simple manner to last a long time.
ReaperChief maybe, but people don't tend to use Dacia's very often for off roading to the same level as the others
Really, I guess you haven't seen all those old Jeep Wranglers on the road
CammieGee Jeep once had a reputation as a reliable 4x4, however, they lost that a few years ago.
Great video and a good winner. Would go for the Toyo or G-wagon. Pure more luxury.......
Great video
Sorry Autocar guys - maybe a fun afternoon at the quarry but an off-road comparison it was not! None of the vehicles tested belong in the same class (Disco and Prado perhaps?), and the methodology for testing proved very little about the capabilities of the vehicles. A time trial to determine the "Best Off-roader"? - just absurd! Well, at least we were spared the usually very predictable conclusion by a Bri'ish presenter, and a non-Land Rover was picked as the winner!
I totally agree with you. They do know absolute nothing about off-road testing. I live in Namibia, come see testing.
Dacia the best
What is a Facial? I haven't heard of one before.
Good. I think you should have included Fiat Panda 4x4 in place of that Duster. Duster is just a soft-roader.
