When it comes to adventure, two Jeep models stand out above the rest. For the third consecutive year, the Jeep Wrangler and Jeep Gladiator have earned the title of AutoTrader Canada’s 2025 Best Vehicle for Adventure. Voted on by 20 of Canada’s top automotive experts, this accolade reinforces Jeep’s renowned status as the ultimate brand for off-road prowess and exploration.
Whether you’re an off-road enthusiast scaling rocky trails, a weekend camper heading into the backcountry, or simply someone who loves the option to head off the beaten path, the Jeep Wrangler and Gladiator deliver unmatched versatility, durability, and a strong sense of adventure.
The Wrangler SUV and Gladiator pickup are mechanical twins, sharing engineering that embodies Jeep’s 80-plus-year legacy of 4×4 innovation. From their military ancestry to their modern off-road engineering, both vehicles are built to conquer unforgiving terrain and bring you home with confidence.
The Wrangler offers two- and four-door models, with a range of roof options—from classic hardtops to fabric roofs and even a button-activated folding top—allowing for that signature open-air Jeep experience. Meanwhile, the Gladiator adds a truck bed to the mix, combining off-road capability with exceptional utility.
The Wrangler and Gladiator are equipped with versatile powertrain options to meet a variety of needs. The Wrangler offers three engines: a turbocharged 2.0L four-cylinder, a robust 3.6L V6, and the high-performance 470-horsepower 6.4L V8 found in the Rubicon 392 trim—perfect for those craving serious power. For eco-conscious explorers, the Wrangler 4xe plug-in hybrid provides 35 kilometers of all-electric range, ideal for quiet, emissions-free adventures. Meanwhile, the Gladiator, powered by a dependable 3.6L V6, is set to join Jeep’s electrified lineup in 2025 with its own 4xe plug-in hybrid system, marking it as the first hybrid Jeep truck.
Both vehicles shine in off-road performance, thanks to their legendary 4×4 systems and advanced transfer cases. Whether tackling rocky trails, deep mud, or sandy beaches, the Wrangler and Gladiator deliver unmatched capability, agility, and confidence for any adventure.
While they’re built to tackle nature’s toughest challenges, the Jeep Wrangler and Gladiator interiors are designed for comfort and connection. Chunky, rugged styling perfectly complements intuitive controls and a no-nonsense old-school 4×4 lever. Both vehicles feature a state-of-the-art 12.3-inch touchscreen with the Uconnect infotainment system, offering wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. For adventurers who spend weekends in mud or sand, the Wrangler includes convenient wash-out drain plugs for easy cleanup.
For those seeking a touch of luxury, these Jeeps can be upgraded with high-end options such as power-adjustable Nappa leather-trimmed seats, Bluetooth wireless speakers, and premium Alpine audio systems. The Wrangler 4xe even includes trail-ready outlets that support up to 30 amps of power, perfect for “glamping” essentials like electric coolers or lighting.
The Jeep Gladiator takes adventure up a notch with its truck functionality. With best-in-class payload capacity of up to 1,725 lbs and towing capabilities of up to 7,700 lbs, it’s perfect for hauling camping gear, kayaks, or even a trailer full of adventure toys. Its versatile design includes a three-position tailgate, removable roof and doors, and folding windshield—features you won’t find on any other pickup.
Every year, AutoTrader’s jury evaluates every new vehicle available in Canada in more than 30 categories. While many challengers entered the “Best Vehicle for Adventure” segment, the Wrangler and Gladiator once again stood out.
AutoTrader’s Editor-in-Chief, Jodi Lai, remarked, “When people talk about off-roaders, they’re likely picturing a Jeep. The iconic Wrangler/Gladiator duo is synonymous with the road less traveled, and our expert jury is impressed by their rugged capability and variety of powertrains.”
It’s not just about durability—it’s about choice. With configurable trims and powertrains, Jeep gives adventure seekers the ability to tailor their vehicles to suit their individual lifestyles and preferences.
Three years of winning AutoTrader’s “Best Vehicle for Adventure” award is no coincidence. With legendary engineering, modern touches, and unbeatable off-road performance, the Jeep Wrangler and Gladiator remain the vehicles that truly embody adventure.
For those who crave the thrill of tackling the unexplored, there’s no better choice. Whether you’re climbing through rocky trails or blazing new paths in the wilderness, these iconic vehicles empower you to explore with confidence.
