Iconic Jeep packs a powerful new punch
Since 2015 the iconic Jeep Wrangler, the most capable and recognized vehicle in the world, offers consumers a standard Premium Alpine Audio Package that includes nine Alpine speakers, a new subwoofer and a 552-watt amplifier.
POLOKWANE – The Jeep Wrangler delivers unmatched off-road capability with legendary four-wheel drive and is produced with more than seven decades of 4×4 engineering experience. Wrangler continues to offer a body-on-frame design, front and rear five-link suspension system, live axles, electronic lockers, and is one of the few mid-size SUV’s that offers a six-speed manual transmission – in addition to its five-speed automatic transmission.
Jeep Wrangler models are sold locally with a three-year or 100 000 km warranty and maintenance plan and are sold through the country-wide dealer network.
Award winning Jeep models:
For the second year in a row, Jeep’s Renegade is named 2017 ‘4×4 of the Year’, according to the off-road specialist UK magazine.
In the same awards, the Renegade also ranked first in the ‘Mid-Range SUV’ category, the legendary Jeep Wrangler took the ‘Hardcore’ class for the fifth consecutive year, and the Jeep Cherokee won the ‘Top-Range SUV’ group.
The small SUV Jeep Renegade was named ‘4×4 of the Year 2017 ‘ by UK’s 4×4 Magazine, retaining the crown for the second year in a row. Indeed, one of the world’s most renowned 4×4 specialist publications confirmed the winning features of the small SUV, which is topping the brand’s sales in Europe and continues to scoop numerous awards worldwide.
In this latest recognition by 4×4 Magazine, the off-road driving publication’s panel of expert judges was unable to find a contender capable of taking away the Jeep Renegade’s ‘4×4 of the Year’ crown gained last year.
A Trailhawk, the range-topping version in terms of performance and off-road characterization, was put through its paces and, besides delivering excellent on-road driving features, outshone all rivals on 4×4 Magazine’s tough off-road evaluation course.
Produced in Italy, and sold in over 100 countries worldwide, Jeep Renegade is the model that more than others significantly contributes to the extraordinary success of the Jeep brand in the EMEA Region. Since its launch, two years ago, the small Jeep SUV climbed the sales charts in many European countries, including Italy (the first market), the UK, France, Germany and Spain, reasserting itself as the most versatile SUV ever with three traction systems, four different transmission types, four diesel and petrol engines delivering power from 95 to 170 hp, five trim levels and four highly successful special series in 2016: Night Eagle, Dawn of Justice, 75th Anniversary and the new Desert Hawk.
The 2017 Jeep Grand Cherokee Trailhawk – the most capable Grand Cherokee ever – has been named FOUR-WHEELER “2017 SUV of the Year.” The award is given annually by the editors of the opinion-leading off-road enthusiast publication.
The addition of the Trailhawk to the Grand Cherokee model lineup is yet another example of Jeep’s commitment to producing vehicles that are just as nimble and capable in the dirt as they are on the paved road,” said FOUR-WHEELER Editor Ken Brubaker.
“The Trailhawk model, which includes a unique version of Grand Cherokee’s Quadra-Lift air suspension to improve articulation and suspension travel, takes a capable vehicle and makes it even better. In addition to the great functional upgrades, the Trailhawk package adds a number of visual tweaks to create a handsome and rugged appearance.”
The 2017 Grand Cherokee Trailhawk shows Jeep’s 4×4 capability with a distinctive, aggressive look, backed by Jeep Trail Rated hardware, resulting in the most capable SUV ever from Jeep.
The Grand Cherokee Trailhawk includes Jeep’s Quadra-Drive II 4×4 system with rear Electronic Limited-slip Differential (ELSD) for all powertrains, a unique version of Grand Cherokee’s Quadra-Lift air suspension, developed for Trailhawk, that offers improved articulation and total suspension travel, as well as Selec-Speed Control with Hill-ascent and Hill-descent Control, skid plates, 18-inch Goodyear Adventure off-road tyres with Kevlar reinforcement, an anti-glare hood decal and signature red tow hooks.
