Available in a single “trail-rated” Rubicon model priced at R1,259,900, the Gladiator is a fully-fledged off-road vehicle with selectable four-wheel drive, a low range transfer case, solid front and rear axles and lockable front and rear diffs. The sway bar can be electronically disconnected for improved off-road suspension travel and it has an 800mm water wading depth.

The rear seats offer excellent legroom and, like the exterior, the cabin has an industrial-strength vibe with robust grab handles and chunky controls. Everything has a sturdy feel, while soft-touch panels and leather seats give the interior a high-class air. The ride quality is excellent, particularly on bumpy roads. The high-profile tyres and five-link coil suspension with Fox shock absorbers make the Gladiator float gracefully over craters and ruts, making this Jeep seem purpose-built for continent-crossing expeditions over rough terrain.A jaunt through the tough Hennops off-road trail near Hartbeespoort confirmed the Gladiator’s impressive all-terrain abilities.
