Overlander 4x4 Magazine - March 2022

In this issue

The new Ineos Grenadier is one of the most hotly anticipated new cars of 2022. And at long last, we’ve driven it! In the new issue of 4x4, you can read our initial impressions from behind the wheel of what has been called ‘the spiritual successor to the Defender,’ after an off-road session in a quarry hidden away in the woodlands of northern France. Will it live up to our expectations? Here’s where the answer starts to emerge… If actual Defenders are more up your street, we have the tale of an expedition aboard an old 110 Tdi in a part of the Americas seldom visited by Brits – which is ironic, because they speak English there. And if that whets your appetite for travel, this issue also contains one of the smartest Defender-based motorhomes we’ve ever seen. For seriously hardcore off-road thrills, meanwhile, we’re looking back at a Suzuki Samurai built a decade or so ago which will forever be among the very best examples of a breed that’s long since died out. Not just for its engineering, which is eye-poppingly good, but for its custom-car standard of presentation. Glorious… …as is the Jeep Wrangler JL you’ll find in this issue. Modified by Storm Jeeps, it’s a street machine of the highest order that’s also seriously capable off-road. Basically, wherever it goes it looks the business. We’ve also got a review of the recently facelifted SsangYong Musso in this issue, as well as an in-depth look at the going-on in the Dakar Rally and, as always, the latest news and product profiles for all 4x4 owners. And don’t miss this month’s Roadbook – right up in the north-eastern corner of England, it’s an absolute treat – especially if water crossings are your thing. Another fine reason to send the new issue of 4x4 straight to the top of your shopping list!
