Jeep Renegade, Patriot Have Record Setting May

Posted on June 2, 2016 by baysideadmin

Jeep has been consistently the most popular brand in the Fiat-Chrysler family. For months now, it has been the one really propping up the FCA in America. FCA has certainly noticed. They’ve reallocated resources into the Jeep brand in order to meet this surge of demand and are refocusing the future of the company into this. If May’s sales were any indication, it is clear that the Jeep is still the choice of the future for FCA.

Jeep had a record setting May which helped FCA keep their sales record streak going. This makes 74 months in a row of year-over-year sales gains. Jeep’s record was a first, however. Jeep sales topped 90,000 for the first time ever in all of its 75 years of production. Not a bad record to set in its 75^th anniversary.

The Jeeps that helped obtain this record is the Compass, Renegade, and the Patriot. Each one managed to set its own record sales number for May. The Renegade and the Patriot both had their best monthly sales ever. This is the 32^nd consecutive month that Jeep has posted a month of year-over-year sales gains.

The Hidden Features of Owning a Jeep

Posted on February 18, 2016 by baysideadmin

Do you know the hidden features in your purchase? For new Jeep buyers, there’s plenty of unwritten rules that go beyond the equipment and exterior included in the purchase. DirtRoadTrip.com put together a list of ’10 Things They Never Tell You About Owning a Jeep.’

You’re Going to Get Wet:

The 9^th on their list is the notion that you’re going to get wet in the driver seat. That’s because it’s impossible to not want to put all that jibber-jabber about the Jeep’s off-road to the test. Inevitably, in that curiosity, is going to come the chance to take the Jeep through the mud and water. When that finally happens, just make sure that you bring an dry pair of pants to change into.

The Jeep Wave:

This is a phenom that has been on-going for sometime now. When you buy a Jeep, you don’t just get an award-winning, highly-capable vehicle, you’re also being inducted into a membership. The Jeep Wave is the unofficial salute given among Jeep drivers.

Tackle Any Weather Problem:

New York just had one of the biggest snowstorms in its history. After the snow subsided and it was time to get the city back to work, it’s a safe bet it was the Jeeps leading the charge. Case in point; remember that snowboarding through the streets of New York video that went viral? Did you notice what they were driving? *Jeep Wave*

Jeep Compass and Patriot Replacement Spotted!

Posted on May 28, 2015 by baysideadmin

Many aspects of Fiat-Chrysler’s previously announced five-year strategy have yet to come to pass. So far, everything seems to be in line as some models get ready to get put away and to be replaced that new vehicles. As part of the Jeep brand, the Patriot and the Compass are going away for a time and will be getting a new Jeep to replace the two. What it should be in theory is a half-way point between the new starter Jeep Renegade and the new popular Jeep Cherokee. That Jeep, or at least a prototype, was spotted in the open.

Jeep wasn’t too shy about it either. It was the first public road test of this new unnamed Jeep. Motor Authority got their hands on the pictures and, sadly in this case, the prototype looks to be not too different from the Renegade. It makes sense that the newest design for a Jeep, the Renegade, would be the starter platform for anything new to come into the Jeep brand.

Another look, as Motor Authority shows, that this isn’t simply a Renegade. The test mule shown in the shots has a longer rear section. What else is known isn’t what is seen in the prototype and that is that the new nine-speed automatic transmission will likely be an option and all-wheel drive will also probably be available.

What would you like to see in the new Jeep slated to replace the Patriot and the Compass? Let us know in the comments.
