Jeep Renegade, Patriot Have Record Setting May

1-2015-jeep-renegade-models

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 75th 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 32nd consecutive month that Jeep has posted a month of year-over-year sales gains.

The Hidden Features of Owning a Jeep

2016-jeep-cherokee-gallery-1

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 9th 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*

2016 Jeep Renegade Scores With the Hispanic Motor Press Awards!

2015 Jeep Renegade - 0

At the sixth annual Hispanic Motor Press Awards at the Los Angeles Auto Show, the 2016 Jeep Renegade won in the “SUV Compact” segment.

“The committee had a very tough time selecting this year’s Autos de Hoy,” said the judge director Ricardo Rodriguez-Long.  “Still, the on- and off-road driving dynamics of the Jeep Renegade and the best-in-class hauling capability of the Ram 3500 each stood out as a great vehicle option for Hispanic families in the United States.”

The people making the choices of which cars are the best is a committee of 16 Hispanic automotive journalists.  Each person has one vote to determine which is the best value for Hispanic families.  The vehicles all get tested and evaluated for design, comfort, safety, performance, and others.

The Jeep Renegade has been one of the most popular new SUVs on the market.  It was designed by some of the youngest members on the Jeep team and made for the purpose of attracting a new younger crowd to Jeep.  It has since begun a claim in the sales charts and has won over numerous critics.  The Jeep Renegade seems to be making a name for  itself by racking up the awards, just like the other members of the Jeep family.
