Jeep v Land Rover v INEOS: EXTREME mud testing!

Sell your car for free with Carwow: bit.ly/Sell-Your-Car-For-Free...
It’s time for some EXTREME off-roading!
We’ve got our hands on a Jeep Wrangler Rubicon, a Land Rover Defender 90 & an INEOS Grenadier, and they’re about to go head-to-head on one of the muddiest off-road courses we’ve ever driven on!
The cars will be taking on several challenges, from an off-road drag race to testing their abilities to crossing rutted pathways and driving up super steep hills, and we’re about to find out which of these three is a must-have for tackling the muddiest of off-road courses.
So let’s see how the three compare. Starting with the Jeep, it’s powered by a 2-litre 4-cylinder turbo that can deliver 272hp and 400Nm. It comes with four-wheel drive and costs around £62,500.
Alongside it, we have the Defender, which is equipped with a 3-litre straight-six turbo diesel that can put down 300hp and 650Nm of torque. It comes with four-wheel drive and costs around £68,000.
Finally, we have the INEOS. It’s housing a 3-litre twin-turbo straight-six under the bonnet, and this produces 249hp and 550Nm. It also comes with all-wheel drive, and it’s the most expensive car here, costing around £76,000.
All cars come with tech to help with off-roading, such as high & low range mode, as well as lockable diffs. The question is, which will triumph over this series of tasks? You’ll need to stick with Mat and see for yourself!

That drag race like that on flat mud is all about tyres. You want a chunky spread out tread and not too wide so that it digs in and doesnt float on top. A fiesta with the right tyres would ace it. Fun but I think they all need to be on the same tyre to test the vehicles.

[@Offensivebeast]

This was definitely an entertaining test, a lot of people will point out the difference in tyres which is to be expected but another issue with this test was using a short wheel base defender vs 2 long wheel base vehicles, in a test like this one where traction is crucial, having a longer wheel base holds a significant advantage in keeping and finding traction, you’re more likely to keep spinning in 1 spot in a short wheel base vehicle as the wheels aren’t necessarily able to find traction but in a longer wheel base vehicle you’re far less likely to enter that problem and will pass over that point simply due to the wheels being spread out more.

[@driveguy]

[@shoutingatclouds1050]

Of course in the mud, off road 3PSI to 10PSI in your tire is the normal way to drive. Airing down its almost more important than using your lockers. All Terrain tires aired down has usable sidewalls for extra traction in mud in particular. In Texas we have quicksand that looks perfectly dry most of the time. If you want payment ride quality get the G-Wagon on the other hand a Jeep can be whatever you want it to be with infant aftermarket quality parts even if you just want a smoother ride someone makes it. ACCU AIR from Summit Racing is 7K for a Jeep and can be installed in your driveway or a shop in a day and is going to last as long as a Range Rover suspension probably longer.

[@vierchristopher]

I get that people are complaining about the tires, but these are stock tires. If they underperform the manufacturer should replace them. If you put aftermarket tires for testing, then the review is not fair based on the package that the customer gets. Most people won't prepare their vehicle at all.

[@ettcha]

Yup. This is the most representative way

[@alexandersimpson3638]

But then most drive on the road, then purchase aftermarket rubber if doing a lot of off roading. I'd have given equivalent tyres across the board. So it's down to the vehicle and driver rather than the rubber they happen to have at the time of the test.

[@Favrot]

To be honest the whole video is about testing the cars against each other...but...when you are offroad the best way to actually compare the cars against each other is to give them all the exact same tyres...because if you dont then the only thing you are comparing is tyres and not the cars at all... And I understand that with all carwow's videos the cars never really have the same tyres on the tracks and runways.... but.....when you are doing offroad, the tyres makes too big of a difference to make it a logic comparison.

[@MrChris106gti]

If your out playing in mud like this you would fit different tyres! They should have all be on the same more aggressive tyre if this was to be fair. But it was still a good watch so who cares

[@dieselscartalk4146]

​@alexandersimpson3638 I think thats a good approach. But some cars are designed to run on certain tires, this isn't as apparent until you get to the Hypercar Holy Trinity which doesn't really matter here.

[@oldcargeezer]

My new Defender was pretty rubbish in a muddy field, until l changed the stock road biased tyres for some Goodyear Wranglers. lt made a big difference, although fuel economy fell a little. l can't tell what tyres are fitted to the Defender in this test, but l think the two LWB live axle vehicles had the edge.
