SACRAMENTO, California – A few years ago, I did my first Jeep Jamboree – a fantastic family event for anyone with a Jeep who has ever thought of getting out of the mall parking lot and into the off-roader’s natural habitat. It was there, after watching a larger four-door Wrangler make a few extra attempts to fit between some tight trees on our trai

Malibu, CA – Jeep represents about half the sales of Fiat Chrysler Automobiles (FCA). The Cherokee is Jeep’s bestselling model in Canada. So today’s first-drive event for the 2019 Jeep Cherokee in scenic southern California mattered a lot, to the company and Jeep fans alike. Four very efficient cylinders, capable of 290 hp and 295 pound-feet

Sometimes in life you cannot just play it safe, sometimes you have to take a little gamble and hope that it pays off.  For example, you could send the guy that really doesn't like Jeeps to a Jeep event and hope that he doesn't embarrass your company at the event and come home with an article that spouts nothing good about an important vehicle for t

What’s the best enthusiast vehicle you can buy in 2018? Some would say the re-worked Mazda MX-5 is a worthy contender, its critically acclaimed dynamics improved by a lighthearted new engine. Other votes might go to the Chevrolet Camaro or Ford Mustang, offering a broad appeal from accessible fun to all-out brawn. Really, though, there’s one candid

As we’d expect from any “real” Jeep, the all-new Renegade was designed and engineered in the good old U.S. of A. But ssshhh, it’s actually built on a global Fiat platform, by Fiat, in Italy. I literally burst out laughing when a gentleman in a brand-new Jeep Cherokee pulled up beside me, rolled his window down and advised me that my Renegade is n

It’s been a couple of years since the new Jeep Cherokee made its debut and it remains one of the top-selling SUVs in Canada despite its rather unusual (for a Jeep) front-end styling. In the first three months of 2016, the Jeep Cherokee was the fourth-best selling SUV in Canada behind the Ford Escape (#3), Honda CR-V (#2), and Toyota RAV4 (#1).

Vehicle Type SUV Purchasing a used Grand Cherokee from this generation without a full once-over by a Jeep-trained technician is strictly not advised. History Description With decades of experience in delivering capability and confidence, Jeep Grand Cherokee went on sale in its current generation in 2010, as a 2011 model. Appealing

Jeep's advertising often boasts that driving one of their vehicles will allow you to get out there and commune more closely with nature. A recent television spot for the Cherokee hints that even in the city, driving a Jeep might mean an unexpected encounter with a pair of friendly-looking wolves. And while much car advertising is pure hyperbole and

In the nutty world of muscle-bound SUVs, the 475-hp Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT 4x4 is a bit of a girly-man. What??? You talkin’ to me? Sorry, dude. Until Uncle Sergio drops that supercharged 707-hp Hellcat Hemi under your hood (and you just KNOW he will), those pressurized hunks from BMW, Porsche and Mercedes-Benz will be opening a can of whoo

The colour on the little Jeeplet you see before you is called Jungle Green. It’s a great-looking, non-metallic shade that seems most appropriate on a vehicle whose brand has a history of go-anywhere, do-anything ruggedness. If you’ve got to drive through a jungle, a Jeep is one of very few vehicles you’d want to do it in. The only jungle this

I’m asked on a weekly basis which crossover SUV is the best. There’s no single answer to that question – though the Jeep Grand Cherokee is typically at or near the top of my list of recommendations, because few, if any, of my standard-issue SUV complaints tend to show themselves when I drive it. Grand Cherokee locks nicely onto its line at

Every true driving enthusiast needs to own a Jeep at some point in his or her life. A bold and ridiculous recommendation? Perhaps, but there’s justification for this lunacy. To be fair, much of the rationale listed here can apply to any rugged, off-road ready beast – but not all of it. There are certain elements of Jeep ownership that are exclus

I remember one of the earlier Renegades from which this latest Jeep product (it beat the new Cherokee to dealers by a year) gets its name; and it should be said that it’s nothing like this. I remember it as a wide-bodied, fat-tired version of the YJ Wrangler. There was a version before that, too, and it was also nothing like this. I found m

Editor's Note: Shoppers going to the Jeep website will notice that a " 2017 Jeep Compass " is already available for purchase, however, it is a refreshed version of the current-generation vehicle. This article discusses the new-generation Jeep Compass, also listed for model year 2017. Jeep continues to sop up all the glorious compact SUV gravy w

LOS ANGELES – When most automakers debut a vehicle at an auto show, they drive it out from behind a wall or a curtain into the display. Jeep Gladiator? Nope. That puppy came right in between the audience and climbed the three stairs up onto the stage. Possibility the most-anticipated new vehicle at the Los Angeles Auto Show, the 2020 Jeep Gla
