Don’t forget about off-roading. See how they do in the quarter mile.
This Wrangler comes with a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine that produces 272 horsepower (203 Kilowatts) as well as 295 pound-feet (405 Newton-meters). It runs through an 8-speed automatic transmission.
The 2.0-liter turbodiesel engine in the new Defender is 240 hp (179kW) and 317lb-ft (335 Nm). It runs through an 8-speed automatic. A classic Defender is also available with a 2.2-liter turbodiesel that produces just 122 horsepower (91 kW) as well as 266 lbft (360Nm) through a six-speed manual.Finally, There’s also the G350 version
The G-Class’s newest model features a 2.9-liter turbodiesel inline-six engine with 286 horsepower (213 kW), and 443 lb-ft (643 Nm) through a nine-speed auto.
The race starts with a drag race starting from a standing position. It is fascinating to see the results. The Jeep comes in second, while the Mercedes is first. They race for the quarter-mile in 15.0 seconds. The G-Class bumper may be the first to cross the finish line, but it is only a matter of about one inch. The classic Defender comes in third place, while the new Defender takes more than 20 seconds to complete the distance.
Things are a bit messy for the race from a roll. The Wrangler leads the race and appears to be on its way to a win. The speed limiter kicks in at 100 mph, so Jeep moves up to third place. The G-Class wins and the Defender takes second.
The braking test is the final. The Jeep has knobby tires that are designed for off-road performance, but they have reduced on-road capabilities. This is a little unfair. It takes the Wrangler the longest time to stop while the Defender stops in the most short space.
