There is only one engine available for the Wrangler: a 268bhp 2.0-litre turbocharged petrol, which comes with a standard eight-speed automatic gearbox. It’s quiet and smooth and delivers its power in a linear manner. The official 0-62mph time is a mere 7.2 seconds.

Jeep only makes SUVs, but it has plenty of them for you to choose from. So, whether you want something rugged enough to ford streams and climb mountains, or a more luxurious and family-friendly car, it has something to suit you.

Despite its all-American image, Jeep is actually owned by Fiat, meaning Jeeps often share parts with cars from the Italian giant; the entry-level Renegade, for example, has plenty in common with Fiat’s 500X.

However, perhaps the most widely recognised Jeep is the Wrangler, a model that has a dedicated fan base and which closely resembles the original Jeep which saw service in World War 2.

The brand’s future plans include new small and large SUVs, plus the introduction of fully electric models.

Range-topping Rubicon wears chunky off-road tyres (BF Goodrich T/A KM2s) and benefits from three-locking differentials. It also gets a low-range gearbox and a detachable front anti-roll bar. They make it the most off-road capable SUV currently on sale.

If you don’t plan to go off-road, the Wrangler is not the car for you – a Land Rover Defender is a much more comfortable and refined daily driver. However, if you want the best off-roader currently on sale, the Wrangler Rubicon is where we'd point you. With off-road goodies such as standard-fit knobbly tyres, three differential locks and a proper low-range gearbox, it will go places that stop a Defender in its tracks.

<h2>What we're looking for:</h2><ul><li>Comfortable ride </li> <li>Feature-filled infotainment </li> <li>Space for child seats </li> <li>Robust build quality </li> <li>Practical storage spaces </li> <li>A boot fit for a family holiday </li> <li>Fuel-efficient engines</li></ul>

While we define a small SUV&nbsp;as something&nbsp;less than 4.3 metres long and a large SUV as measuring more than 4.5 metres, family SUVs tread the middle ground.

As the name suggests, the vast majority are&nbsp;designed for family duties rather than serious off-roading, so practicality is paramount. However, that&nbsp;shouldn't come at the expense of a decent drive; the best examples combine tidy handling with smooth engines&nbsp;and a ride that's comfortable&nbsp;enough to ensure the kids aren't left feeling queasy.
