Range Rover vs. Jeep

The Range Rover vs. Jeep debate has gone on for a long time now, and there’s no reason to believe that it won’t continue to be discussed for years to come. As Scottsdale drivers know, these two brands produce some of the most capable off-road vehicles on the market, and both can take on the challenge of Mount Ord Lookout or Sunflower Mine. But Range Rover combines its rugged off-road capability with luxurious comfort and premium features that Jeep is hard-pressed to match. Find out whether a Range Rover or a Jeep is the best choice for you, then stop by Land Rover North Scottsdale for a test drive.

• Jeep Grand Cherokee Off-Road Features
