Need help buying your next car? Click www.carwow.co.uk/help-me-carwow and my team and I will help you choose your ideal car at a fair price - from Mat Watson!
.............................................................
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!

Solid axiles are by far the most important thing on an offroading vehicle. There's a reason why people are still rock crawling Jeeps from the 70's. The land rover is a very comfortable car that functions well in moderate off road conditions.
Both the G and the Defender lifted tires in the video on the articulation portion. Also, on the hill climb both the G and the Defender took running starts where they just pulled the Jeep up to the hill and climbed slowly. You guys need more discipline in your tests.

These tests courtesy of Mat are great fun to watch for people like me living in a nowadays depressing and very expensive Lebanon now short of nearly all utilities and basic services. My being a mighty happy previous owner of a Land Rover V8 Defender 110, obviously my heart leaned over in favour of the new Defender, but all said and done, all three 4WD cars are great, each having its own affinities and strengths as well. For me all three cars are winners in their own respective rights.

And three different road-paths actually.
I believe that a test of the vehicles going up road in a rocky terrain would be necessary to test the shoes resistance.
After having only driven a jeep for a few days I have so many questions. Do they not sell the diesel wrangler in the uk? Why were the tires not aired down(my have missed that part but thought it was common for offroading)? Why didnt they use hill ascent or hill descent control while in 4 low? And for the circuit race the jeep should have been in 4auto (if they had 4auto back then).
Completely unbiased. Mercedes: Mat remember we gave you the G Wagon AMG for 6 months.

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

When you do a comparison of test a group of vehicles , especially off road , having the same make/type of tires evens out the playing field
For the price the Jeep punches well above it's weight. All that's missing on it is a nice aftermarket lift kit and it will still cost less than the others and likely be way more reliable over time. The jeep really is bargain

Oh and Merc wins everything even though it couldn't complete all the challenges and the other two could (strange way to win for an off road battle).

@@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.
It's nice to have something that can go anywhere with ease, but there's no thrill in that! Part of the enjoyment of off-roading is the adrenaline of "am I gonna make it through this obstacle", and the stories that come from failure or success. There's also the 'skill' vs 'computer' part of the enjoyment too.
The best car challenge cuz it really combined 2 of my favourite cars that i've been confused between it's the Jeep and the Mercedes. It's even than top Gear and with your british accent sir i had to admit that i had a blast watching 22:15 of charisma and power Thank u sooo much
It's a clear win for Defender for me...cause it is the proper go anywhere vehicle of the three.At least the last hurdle the way it crossed no confusion at all.

I have one myself a Defender X P400 Retail Price 102K maybe next time you should keep specs similar regarding power like a Defender D300 or P400 up against a Merc G350d
My '96 Discovery would have put the Defender to shame with regards to articulation. What a pleasure to watch the Jeep and G flex. I love Land Rover and would take the Defender for my primary without even a thought. It is simply the best driver. The Defender simply has better manners and is a more modern vehicle to live with. It even has decent fuel economy. It would be nice to see the Full Size Range Rover in some tests though.

Except all Jeep drivers think big fat tires are somehow superior for off- road use and not just for mall lot pimping. Remember back when Wranglers and Willies had skinny tires?
These tests also depend on how a person is driving the car not just on a car.

@Ashlee Burell no it’s not. Same driver needed for every test. Timed drag race with the same driver, same driver for the slope test, same start location, etc. The merc was the only one that launched on the maneuverability test too, so it got a quicker time. 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.
Please put real off-road drivers in those cars for real results
Graham is a legend, he was a volunteer at a PPE warehouse during the pandemic 👍🏼
You should also award points for price, power, view, and comfortness while offroading.
I recommend to see this guy from “SUV battle” channel for more efficient unbiased off-road testing.

I would have liked to see a rock crawling competition between the three cars. Jeep and the G-Wagon with their solid axles would probably have an advantage over the Land Rover with its 4-wheel independent suspension.
The Jeep could've done this entire "off-road" challenge in two wheel drive with the rear diff lock. 😆😆😆😆😆
Jeep does well and you still have money left in the bank. I think that is a victory.

Totally agree, they establishes early in the video that the Wrangler had the least ground clearance yet the final challenge they didnt want to take the G Wagon down. Graham is an idiot, no place judging Off Roading when he knows nothing about it. And dont get me started on the first 3 challenges of "Racing" which really is not a test of off roading at all.
The Defender is like the smartest kid in class, making the others feel like they need to hit the books... or the off-road trails!

Marauder SUV, Innoson made in Nigeria, Kantaka made in Ghana, Mobius made in Kenya, Wallyscar made in Tunisia. I would like to see an off road challenge with all the usual off road vehicles you use.
If you wanted a perfect score for each of the cars the best thing to do is have the same person drive each car for each challenge it’s just the best way in my opinion
So, the best one off road is the one that couldn't do everything? Not exactly a winning recommendation.

It could have done it, those G-Wagens are practically bomb proof underneath they have a lot of heavy duty plating. They were concerned about the idiotic side steps - loaner vehicle. If they dumped the side steps and had rock sliders, it would have easily gone through the last obstacle.
We need someone from the US driving the Jeep, don’t worry about scrapping the bottom, that’s what the skid plates are for, Jeep wins on the last obstacle hands down!!

Jeep provides skid plates and rock rails to protect the undercarriage. So what you scrape, you’re scraping steel. I’ve never seen a rover newer than 2005 on a trail, and definitely haven’t seen a g wagon.

G wagon couldnt do the extreme offroading, but it won the battle 🤣🤣 It should be disqualified for not being capable as stock & standard.
Personally I'd go with the Jeep, it's main purpose is offroading. The G-Wagon is also very good but it's a car that i would not take offroading like that, if one thing goes wrong I don't even want to know how much the repair bill is going to cost. The defender is also an AMAZING offroading vehicle but it's not my type even though it is a badass vehicle. This is my opinion

Totally agree, I would rather be in the Jeep it seemed a little biased rather than subjective. What the rover did with wheels off the ground that bad in such a relatively simple course was very dangerous.
For the Defender to go from being one of the grandest off-road vehicles in the world to that electronic bread box is humiliating.
proper performance testing
