JEEP GLADIATOR - INIMITABLE LOOK AND OFF-ROAD CAPABILITY

With the arrival of the Jeep Gladiator, the manufacturer has been offering the brand new pick-up in its range for 28 years. A variation of the Wrangler, this model equipped with a V6 diesel adopts its look by being equipped with an extra dumpster. And for the very first time, this 4x4 pickup will be marketed in Europe: in France and Monaco in particular.

Jeep Gladiator: an unlimited strength in a velvet glove

The Jeep Gladiator bears its name particularly well as this derivative of the Wrangler imposes itself. With 5.59 m long, a weight of 2,360 kg and a release of 254 g of CO2/km, American enthusiasts will not remain insensitive. Many design aspects of the Wrangler are found on this model such as its circular optics, its visible wings or its cubic silhouette.

Another advantage of this Jeep 4x4 is its absence of ecological malus. Indeed, in order to be considered as a utility vehicle and thus escape this ecological malus worth €40,000 as well as the TVTS (Tax on Passenger and Company Vehicles), the manufacturer has taken a drastic measure: to condemn a seat of its new vehicle and to homologate it in this way, in all legality of course. Note that in France, this model is only available in the “Overland launch” version and with 4 seats only.

JEEP GLADIATOR: A MONSTER OF THE ROAD

An uncompromising 4X4: a 264hp diesel V6 that yields nothing to modernity

A REAL 4X4 JEEP WITH 4 COMFORTABLE SEATS

Inside the vehicle, comfort is guaranteed with, in particular, the presence of an 8-inch multimedia screen equipped with connected services. One of the specificities of this Jeep Gladiator, like any self-respecting 4x4 pickup, is its dump body. The platform measures 1.53m and the payload is only 600kg. A situation which is partly due to the presence of rear suspensions with springs and not with blades like the classic 4x4 pickups. Among the other features of the bed, it has a washable PVC liner, a soft removable tonneau cover and tie-down hooks.
A button is specially provided to the right of the steering wheel to choose the mode in which you want to drive.

Among the other features of this French version can be mentioned the heated seats and steering wheel, leather upholstery, Alpine sound system, front and rear cameras, not to mention the blind spot detector and more than 60 safety and aid systems. driving and off-roading. Note also the presence of an Alpine bluetooth portable speaker.

JEEP GLADIATOR PICKUP: PERFORMANCE AND BEHAVIOR ON THE ROAD

Unlike the Wrangler and its 2.2-liter 4-cylinder engine, the Jeep Gladiator pickup is equipped with a 3-liter turbo diesel V6. The latter is mated to an 8-speed ZF automatic transmission as well as a “Selec-Trac” all-wheel drive system. Thus, the driver can choose between Auto mode, propulsion and 4x4.

And for off-road enthusiasts, the manufacturer has fitted this model with a short-ratio reduction gearbox for the most difficult terrain.

Configure your own Gladiator

On asphalt, the Jeep Gladiator Pickup offers remarkable handling, in particular thanks to its very flexible suspension. In addition, when the tipper is empty, the support is of high quality thanks to the presence of coil springs at the rear.

At what price will this comfortable Gladiator pickup be marketed? With a base price of €72,900, this model naturally fits into the high-end segment of the pick-up market. Possessing very satisfactory off-road skills, this new pickup signed by the manufacturer should undoubtedly appeal to fans of American “full size” 4x4 models.
