Comparing the 2.2 Wildtrak (1.289M) to the GLS Sport-V (1.340M), the Ranger still has the upper hand in features, looks and chassis. Biggest advantage of the GLS Sport-V is that it has 4x4. With the 2.2 Wildtrak 4x4 being ushered out, your only option for a full-featured 4x4 Ranger is the expensive 1.549M Ranger Wildtrak 3.2.
