Noteworthy Features
Off-Road Capability
One of the main reasons why drivers choose Jeep is its off-road capability and the ability to get you to your destination safely in any weather. Jeep offers three All-Wheel-Drive systems that allow you to choose the one that you need according to the driving that you intend to do. Some Jeeps also have the ability to ford streams and climb over small logs and rocks.
Performance Features
Jeep performance and off-road capability begin with the available engines. Depending on the model, you can choose from a 3.6-Liter Pentastar V6, a 5.7-Liter V8, or a Supercharged 6.2-Liter that can handle a load. The new Quadra-Lift suspension system allows you to raise the height of your vehicle for more ground clearance or lower it for ease of entry. These are paired with advanced transmission systems that have low gear ratios for better traction in challenging terrain.
Technology and Safety
The best thing about a Jeep is that you have power and performance capability, but you also have the latest technology. You can enjoy Uconnect, Android Auto, and Apple CarPlay along with advanced navigation and a choice of touchscreen displays. They also offer a selection of premium sound systems. When it comes to safety, you can choose models with Adaptive Cruise Control with stop-and-go, Blind Spot Monitoring, Cross-Path monitoring, and a Lane Departure Warning. Electronic stability control and traction control also help to keep you safe.
Additional Considerations
Fuel Economy
Jeep is a utility vehicle. It is built to handle rough terrain and allow you to brave the elements. However, it is also known to have a rough ride, and some consider the seats uncomfortable. It might not be the best choice if you are looking for a smooth ride.
Ease of Entry and Fuel Mileage
Jeep is a great brand for the adventurous type, but it might not be for every driver. Some of them can be difficult to get in and out of, which might not be the perfect fit for everyone. They offer two- and four-door models and have options available to help you get in and out more easily. They also are not known for having the best fuel mileage as the design emphasis was placed on power.
Reliability and Longevity
Jeep began in World War II, and they have over a half a century of experience in building vehicles that are reliable. However, some owners of newer models have reported reliability issues in recent years. Still, the Jeep brand is built on overall toughness and the ability to get the job done.
