Ford Mustang vs Jeep Grand Cherokee [2016-2020]

So until we can get back to driving high-performance cars – unleashing their cerebral horsepower on the tarmac and burning some unnecessary rubber at every given opportunity – let us have look back at some of the best performance cars we have already driven.

Jeep has over 75 years of experience in building SUVs and the brand explicitly claims that their vehicles clearly inspire a sense of freedom and adventure. If you take a trip down memory lane, you will always come across Jeep owners who confirm that the brand has always gone by the ‘Go Anywhere. Do Anything.’ slogan. After contemplating for four years, Jeep finally rolled into Indian showrooms late last month.

As soon as I got a call from Ford, giving me an invitation to drive the Mustang on routes I had never imagined of, I jumped off my office seat with excitement. We had several options like Vijaywada to Vishakhapatnam or Bhubaneshwar to Kolkata or Kolkata to Bodhgaya etc etc. But one sector really caught my attention and as I wanted to make my first drive on road in the legendary Mustang to be an unforgettable experience, I chose Varanasi to Lucknow. Now you might think I must be nuts to choose this sector to drive a low slung sports car but my whole logic behind the decision was different. Make no mistake, I would have enjoyed this pony car to the fullest, on a wide placid road but I would have never got the memories which are now imprinted in my brain of driving among craziest people, on some of the most demanding roads in a muscle car.
