2019 Jeep® SUV & 4x4 Models - Off-Road Event In Europe !

2019 Jeep Range Event Europe.
Compass, the most metropolitan of all the Jeep models, today also in the Trailhawk trim

The focus will also be on the Jeep Compass, the best-selling Jeep model in Europe with 20,600 units sold in the first quarter of this year (+11.5% compared to the first quarter of 2018). To continue being the leader, it has been made even more interesting by combining its trademark Jeep off-road capabilities and excellent driving dynamics to timeless design in the most authentic Jeep style and high-tech features. For instance, all versions are available with the new E6D-Temp type-approved diesel and petrol engines and are fully loaded with state-of-the-art infotainment systems, including the new 7-inch Radio with Apple Car Play/Android Auto offered as standard from the Longitude trim level up. One of the most significant news in the Compass range is the new Trailhawk, a trim dedicated to everyone who is tired of the urban jungle and wants to explore unspoilt nature. So, the most metropolitan of all Jeep models turns into a pure off-roader courtesy of its specific off-road driving equipment, including Jeep Active Drive Low 4x4 system, with a crawl ratio of 20:1 in the exclusive Selec-Terrain Rock mode. Powered by a 170-hp 2.0-litre MultiJet II engine and a nine-speed automatic transmission, the Compass Trailhawk features a rich standard equipment, including UconnectTM NAV 8.4" with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.

New Cherokee Trailhawk, the undisputed pioneer in the category

With 45 years of history and four million vehicles sold worldwide, Jeep Cherokee is not only the most capable SUV in its category but also one of the more versatile mid-sized SUVs on the market. Today, it continues to be one of the most appreciated Jeep models by European customers. In the first quarter, its sales grew by approximately 33% compared to the first quarter of 2018. Merit for this goes to the significant revamp last year in terms of design, functionality, performance, connectivity, safety and driving assistance systems. One of the major developments was the recent debut at the Geneva Motor Show of the new 2.0-litre direct injection turbo petrol engine that ensures fuel efficiency and performance for everyday adventures, and is now available in Jeep showrooms across Europe. With power of 272 hp and torque of 400 Nm, the new engine completes the range of engines available in the European market. The 2.0-litre petrol is paired with a nine-speed automatic transmission and, according to the market, three different four-wheel drive systems: Jeep Active Drive I, Jeep Active Drive II and Jeep Active Drive Lock. The new 272-hp 2.0-litre engine also powers the unstoppable Trailhawk version which completes the trailblazing family of off-road-specialist versions delivering additional 4x4 prowess for customers who want the best in terms of all-terrain performance. The Trailhawk also sports the famous Trail Rated badge which is awarded only after passing a number of gruelling tests on some of the toughest terrain in the world.

Wrangler, the most capable ever

Kitted out with the most sophisticated off-road features, the iconic Wrangler is the most capable ever also on everyday city streets courtesy of its improved comfort, connectivity and handling. In short, the model most suited to off-the-beaten path adventures is also a very handy vehicle in urban traffic, adding refined on-road dynamics in the day-by-day use. Beside a 2.2-litre diesel engine, it now features a new 2.0-litre inline four-cylinder turbo petrol engine particularly suited for city driving. This petrol engine guarantees smooth power delivery (270 hp at 5,250 rpm, torque of 400 Nm at 3,000 rpm) and it is equipped with engine Stop-Start (ESS) and an eight-speed automatic transmission. Furthermore, for the first time in its history, the new generation Wrangler features Forward Collision Warning and Adaptive Cruise Control, two safety systems which are very useful for day-by-day driving (both are offered as options). In the first quarter of this year, sales of Jeep Wrangler have more than doubled compared to the first quarter of 2018, after having already doubled in full-year 2018 in comparison to full-year 2017. This success is further confirmed by several international accolades awarded by European publications.
