Reviews SummaryJeep’s midsize SUV gains something and loses something for the 2026 model year. A mild refresh brings a new turbocharged four-cylinder engine, but the Grand Cherokee 4xe plug-in hybrid is no more. Styling changes outside and a bigger touchscreen inside round out the changes. Verdict: The turbo-four engine is impressive, but it can’t account for the lack of a hybrid powertrain — or the price tag for the best version of this grand dame of SUVs. | |
Reviews SummaryThe more you spend, the less capable the Gladiator is. The 2025 Gladiator loses its manual transmission and adds’41, Joose, and Mojito paint colours. Verdict: Unique among pickup trucks, the Jeep Gladiator is an appealing alternative to the status quo. That’s especially true if you value open-air driving or plan to tackle untrodden territory. But for serious towing and hauling tasks, there are better choices than the Gladiator. | |
