.............................................................
It’s time for an almighty off-roader showdown!
We’ve got three of the best 4x4s in the business going head-to-head over a series of challenges to find the best off-roader available to buy today!
First up we’ve got Mat in the Land Rover Defender, with a 2-litre diesel engine which produces 240hp. Alongside him, we’ve got the Mercedes G350, which is powered by a 2.9-litre 6 cylinder diesel to produce 286hp. Then finally we have the Jeep Wrangler Rubicon, which has a 2-litre turbocharged petrol with 272hp.
So the Defender may be down on power - but power isn’t everything when you go off-road! So will the tech that’s packed into the new Defender give it the advantage? You’ll have to keep watching to find out!

For me all three cars are winners in their own respective rights.

Speaking as a machinist myself and knowing metal scrapings intimately, when you're bottoming out in the center like that and stopping all you're doing is letting the weight sit and continue to build and then going just an inch or two and stopping again, also makes you let the weight sit down on it again once you start moving and the small scrape starts happening simply let it slide all the way through and you will have minimal damage to the metal. AKA it's better to have a little ding then it is to have multiple large scrapes.Just a little advice to help you with your show and budget

It's nice to have something that can go anywhere with ease, but there's no thrill in that!

There's also the 'skill' vs 'computer' part of the enjoyment too.

My '96 Discovery would have put the Defender to shame with regards to articulation. What a pleasure to watch the Jeep and G flex.

It even has decent fuel economy. It would be nice to see the Full Size Range Rover in some tests though.

@@danbruh33 I totally agree with you. As an all rounder the new Defender looks surprisingly comfortable around town and from all the serious reviews I've seen it's mighty impressive off road too, comfortably going head to head with the 200 series 'cruiser. That's why it's annoying that someone had to make things up (you have to be smoking something to think the Defender has anywhere near the articulation of the rubicon especially with swaybars disconnected), the Defender is plenty good enough to stand on its own merits and out of the three tested was arguably the best all rounder and best value for money.

The Merc also had more momentum from the start on the rocky slope test, Jeep looked like it started with the lowest speed. All the vehicles could probably use less tire pressure too, looks to be on street air pressure. All 3 vehicles need the same driver, start points/speed for certain tests, same launches.. either off idle or boosted launch, same tires and tire pressure.

If you put off the middle differental, you can drive better around tight corners like in minute 12:46 till 13:00 . If you had the middle-differential in position on, you have got an circle of 18 meters or something. The Defender must have an automatic function to put it off that you can drive better around tight corners, maybe at special degrees of the steering wheel or the wheels itself. Very good videos and not so many facts. Your feeling to drive is more interesting than how many torque it have at some rpm in Position X of the gas pedal. very good job. SO Thanks

Funny though, cause the Defender did the time trials really well all things considered, and it had the best turning radius when needed. I think the Defender from the evidence we could see is clearly the second best vehicle, if not THE best overall (between the three), because the G-wagon couldn't event attempt to compete in the final test (and after the final test Mat admitted the G would NOT have been able to make it period). So in a pinch in the woods or troublesome terrain, the Rover could do everything very well it seems. Where the other two had at least one course each where it drastically struggled. Also, the Rover went most obstacles first which gave the drivers an advantage of seeing what not to do in course, even in the slow "wheel off ground test" the Rover may have lost that, however, we all saw it make the tight turn without a reverse like the other two had to. Just saying.
