You are now looking at a 2023 Jeep Grand Cherokee Overland 4×4 in some sort of blue… I’d love to tell you what the colour’s name is but couldn’t find it anywhere on Jeep South Africa’s website or low-key configurator…

Sprint Review: 2022 Jeep Grand Cherokee L 3.6 4×4 Overland
The Jeep Grand Cherokee is quite a legend in its native states of much unity, plus the odd other market like Australia or southern Africa. Let’s take a quick look at this brand new model…
Tested: 2020 Jeep Grand Cherokee Trackhawk
Up to this point in time, the most powerful car I’ve ever tested was a 6-litre twin-turbo V12 AMG Coupé which put out a colossal 612 horsepower and did 0-100 in a shade over four seconds. Both those figures have now been beaten… by an SUV from America.
Tested: 2020 Alfa Romeo Stelvio Quadrifoglio Q4
Like it or not, our automotive world has moved in a distinct direction.

Tested: 2010 Range Rover Sport Supercharged
The tough choice
Having recently had the pleasure of testing the big Range Rover Vogue, I am severely pleased that I don’t possess the bank balance to afford such a car. Yet. With the 2010 Range Rover Sport Supercharged taking up most of my driveway, I’m glad I don’t have to choose between the two.
