Out Now: June 2022 issue of 4X4 Australia

The June 2022 issue of 4X4 Australia is officially out now!

The all-new Jeep Grand Cherokee has been thrust in to the seven-seat arena for the first time, with 200mm added to the wheelbase of the L model.

Not only did we drive the tech-laden Grand on Aussie soil for the first time for this issue, we lined it up against a Nissan Patrol Ti-L to see how it fared off road against a proven performer.

Last month, we went off road in a limited edition 76 Series wagon, built to celebrate the 70th Anniversary of the iconic LandCruiser nameplate. Toyota also pieced together a 70th Anniversary 79 Series single cab, and we got it muddy for this issue. Priced at $80K, is it worth it?

Matt spent time in a Ranger V6 prototype – and chatted to the engineers behind it – at the end of last year, but we weren't allowed to talk about it until now. You can read about it in the mag, and early impressions suggest this thing is going to be an absolute ripper.

We also pore over a 1952 Austin Champ, a war rig created to confront the original Jeep. This example sat idle, hidden away for 40 years, but it is now free to remind us all of the quality of British engineering.

Four-wheel drives have come a long way over the last 60 years – no longer are they rudimentary expedition vehicles. In the June mag, Fraser Stronach has outlined the 10 most significant 4x4 advancements over the years, from modern turbo-diesel engines to adaptive suspension and everything in between.

Plus, in the latest instalment in our ‘How To’ off-road series, Dean Mellor discusses convoy etiquette and why communication is the key to a safe and enjoyable multi-car trip.
