After nearly 13 years of absence from the Canadian market, the Jeep Cherokee is back! It’s filling the void that was left when they nixed the Jeep Liberty, a model that never really made a name for itself in the compact SUV segment. The all-new Cherokee offers the same legendary …

The war between Jeep and Land Rover dates way back. It’s an off-road battle that pits superhuman power against pristine virtuosity. We thought we’d settle the matter for once and for all, so we organized a showdown between the Jeep Wrangler Rubicon and the Land Rover LR4. Between mud and …

Let’s get this out of the way: no one needs a nearly-500 horsepower sport-utility vehicle. But that doesn’t mean that people don’t WANT one. Or, more specifically, that I don’t want one. The 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT is a people mover that courts absurdity with its phenomenal engine output, …
