Fan Base Helps Jeep Win Automotive Loyalty Award

For years, Jeep owners and fans across the country have made Jeep a lifestyle as much as a car brand. Now, Jeep and their fan base are being recognized with a 2011 Polk Award.

Jeep topped off an already great year with the 2011 Polk Award for Most Improved Loyalty to Make. Polk studies trends and marketing in the auto industry, and they are some of the world’s foremost experts on brand loyalty. In 2011, Jeep’s sales increased 44 percent when the industry as a whole saw an 11 percent increase. Even better, the sales have increased for every Jeep model by at least 30 percent, so it isn’t just one popular model holding up the brand.

In 2012, Jeep plans to keep their happy customers coming back by doing what they do best: making great cars. They won awards from Petersen’s 4 Wheel and Off-Road, Four Wheeler Magazine, Popular Mechanics, and AutoWeek Magazine. The Jeep Cherokee is the most awarded SUV of all time, and going into 2012, they plan to win more awards than ever before.

Jeep Grand Cherokee

There’s a reason why the Jeep Grand Cherokee earns the highest marks from so many magazines and internet sites.  According to Popular Mechanics, where it was on the top 10 cars of 2011,  the Grand Cherokeestands at the top of the lineup” and it was even the winner of the 2011 Internet Truck of the Year.  It really goes to show you that the Grand Cherokee has plenty to offer that is truly top of the line.
It begins the moment you see it, the Grand Cherokee is instantly recognizable.  It has all the markings of Jeep such as the seven slot grille and the headlamps.  Where the Grand Cherokee breaks from the pack is in the longer front and rear door openings, meaning that you wouldn’t have to be a trained contortionist in order to to get in.  The best part of the design is the attention to detail in things such as the refinement of aerodynamics in order to reduce the noise, vibration, and harshness levels.  This means that as you’re cruising along in style down I95, you’re going to be able to be in your own little world without the interruption of outside noises.
It’s evident from the get-go that when you sit down inside the luxurious SUV that you’re truly getting the best.  Maybe it’s the hand stitched steering wheel that also just so happens to be heated, or the soft touch materials that are used in the interior design from objects such as the door handles.  It can definitely be seen in the seat designs with the rich leather and the brilliant design of the of the instrument panel, you can’t help but see the craftsman work involved to make sure that it earns the title of most luxurious SUV in its class.
Adding to that, the Grand Cherokee wants to make sure you get the same quality under the hood that you do when you open the door.  With both the 3.6 liter Pentastar V6 engine and 5.7 liter V8 engine powering this class leading jeep, it’s easy to see why it’s known as the best in class.  It’s hard not to be even more impressed when getting 17 miles per gallon while driving around the streets of Queens and the Bronx with it’s 24.6 gallon tank.
You’ll be needing that gas, because the Jeep Grand Cherokee is made to go wherever you want it to.  Jeep makes sure to put the Grand Cherokee through the motions of complete testing, not slapping on their Jeep Trail Rated badge until it passes all 5 categories.  Jeep advertises that with this jeep, you can “Go Anywhere, Do Anything.”  They back this statement up with features like the Quadra-Lift.  What the Quadra-Lift is is an air suspension system that adjusts with just the simple turn of a knob.  It can add an additional 4.1 inches onto the maximum height of ground clearance.  Not only that, but the Grand Cherokee is ready to tackle all the weather that New York has to offer.  When other cars are slipping and sliding on the streets of Manhattan after a blizzard, the Grand Cherokee with its Selec-Terrain system can stay on the roads when other cars wouldn’t dare.
For anyone with questions about the Grand Cherokee’s dedication to the protection of the driver and passengers will find that Jeep has taken every measure to ensure that it is ready to deal with whatever comes your way.  This is obvious in the wrap around protection the Grand Cherokee offers.  With over 45 available safety features, such as driver and passenger seat mounted pelvic and thorax airbags, side curtain airbags, the vehicle is designed to keep you safe.  There’s even an available Advanced Warning and Adaptive Cruise Control Group which uses radar sensors to warn drivers if another vehicle is approaching too rapidly.
