Jeep Wrangler has been given the “Total Cost of Ownership” by Kelley Blue Book and “Best Resale” from Kiplinger’s Personal Finance. The Jeep Grand Cherokee was also given the Motorweek Drivers’ Choice award.

“We’re delighted that the Jeep Wrangler and Grand Cherokee have received this recognition from these influential, opinion-leading media organizations,” said Mike Manley, the President and CEO of Jeep Brand. “These awards are especially meaningful because they focus on the customer. The MotorWeek award is specifically chosen from the buyers’ point of view, while the awards from Kelley Blue Book and Kiplinger’s focus on value for the customer – which Jeep vehicles consistently deliver.”

All the awards that are taking up space on a trophy case at Jeep may be starting to have a profound impact on people’s buying choice. Jeep saw a considerable rise in sales during the month of January by 37 percent. 2011 saw an increase of 44 percent.

Say hello to the least expensive off-road vehicle in its class, the Jeep Patriot. Named Edmunds.com’s 2011 Lowest True Cost to Own SUV under $25,000 makes it an affordable buy for driving either for the city streets or the great outdoors.
When taking this best buy off the road for some grand adventures, it’s definitely an eye catcher. It’s a rugged and distinctive design with the classic boxy shape. This includes the trapezoidal wheel arches and seven vertical slot grille. The Jeep Patriot also has Lower Bodyside accent cladding which shows a commitment to ensuring those looking to go off highway get the best bang for their buck.

It has a 4 speaker system and can come equipped with Garmin Navigation. With chrome accents and a hand stitched leather wrapped wheel, it’s very easy to see that only the best in craftsmanship went into the production.
Popping the hood will find a 2.0 liter engine with 16 valves and a horse power of 158 at 6,4000 RPM. With a 5 speed manual transmission drivers can expect to get 23 miles per gallon while in city and 28 once it gets out on the highway. With a 13.6 gallon tank, that lets the vehicle get up to 394 miles on a full tank. The Jeep Patriot is ready to handle all kinds of weather, be it snow, sand, any kind of low traction surface. This is all done thanks to the available Freedom Drive, an active 4 wheel drive system that gives the Patriot the ability to go anywhere and do anything.

There is also the advanced multistage front airbags for driver and front passenger and for the rear passengers there is the rear airbags.
