Four years ago, Jeep® presented in grand style in the biggest stage of the Brazilian automotive universe the Jeep Renegade, which reinvented the compact SUV segment. In 2016, it was time to introduce the Jeep Compass, a model that immediately solidified the brand as the leader of the SUV market, and which has been the country’s bestselling sports utility vehicle for more than a year.

Since the inauguration in 2015 of the Jeep Automotive Hub in Pernambuco, the most modern factory of the Fiat Chrysler Automobiles (FCA) group in the world, more than 270 thousand vehicles of the brand that created the SUV have already received new license plates in Brazil.

Now, at the 30th edition of the São Paulo International Motor Show, Jeep highlights its great moment of consolidation as the most competitive brand in the fastest growing segment of the Brazilian market. Jeep is in the fourth consecutive year of significant growth, with an increase of 22.4% over 2017, much higher than the car industry as a whole (13.5%).

Therefore, the trail continues, and the Jeep stand at the São Paulo Expo shows everything that lies ahead, with the most complete range of SUVs on the market.

New Renegade

The compact SUV that reinvented the segment reaches the 2019 line with evolutions in design, connectivity, technology, capacity, safety and equipment. Like the new LED headlamps and the largest multimedia screen in the segment, of 8.4 inches, compatible with Android Auto and Apple Car Play. And even more competitive prices.

Jeep Renegade continues to be the only one in the segment not to drift from the passenger car and to have diesel engine, nine gears, reduced 4x4 traction, descent control and land selector, in addition to independent suspension on all four wheels in all the versions.

Compass

National vehicle with more autonomous driving technologies and for more than a year leading the general SUV market in the country, the model has already surpassed about 100 thousand units sold and received more contents in all versions of the 2019 line, as well as new wheels and colors.

In the Top, Limited (Flex and Diesel) and Trailhawk (Diesel only) configurations, the Park Assist semiautomatic parking system became standard, as was the remote starting of the engine through the key, extremely useful to leave the large and well-finished cabin at the ideal temperature before entering.

New Wrangler

The new generation of the vehicle that best embodies the Jeep spirit debuts in Brazil in grand style. Also known by the JL code, the New Jeep Wrangler brings even more of the unparalleled off-road capability, greater use of aluminum in the body, more technology and cabin connectivity, and an entirely new mechanical assembly. All with renewed design but still faithful to the origins.

Now, the Wrangler has the unprecedented 2.0 turbo engine, with direct gasoline injection, which yields 272 hp and 40.8 kgfm. Combined with it is a modern eight-speed automatic transmission and 4x4 traction with reduction gearbox.

The New Jeep Wrangler will be available in the first half of 2019 in the two-door and four-door bodies (Unlimited), including - for the first time in the country - the Rubicon version with a series of upgrades for heavy off-road.

Renegade Willys

The Motor Show is also the stage for the presentation of this future limited edition of the Renegade, which pays tribute to the brand that created the first Jeeps. The base will be the Trailhawk version, but with various style differentials. Like the "Willys" inscriptions on the front fenders and "4-Wheel Drive" on the rear cover, as was common in Renegade's ancestors.

The paintwork on the body will be Recon Green, combined with several external parts with dark finish, such as wheels, emblems, grille frames and bumpers and rearview mirror covers. Shades contrasting with the white star on the C-columns, also embroidered on the backrest of the front seats.

Compass S

The next special series of the bestselling SUV in Brazil puts it as an example of sophistication. The starting point was the Limited Diesel 4x4 version with an exclusive Deep Brown paint combined with several dark items (wheels, logos, friezes, etc.) that would normally be chrome.

The Jeep Compass S will also feature an autonomous driving technology package consisting of adaptive cruise control (ACC), front collision warning with automatic braking (FCW +) and monitoring of lane change with active correction (Lane Sense). In addition to Park Assist, which already equips all Compass Limited and Trailhawk in the 2019 line.

B-Ute

Functional show car developed in conjunction with Mopar for the latest edition of the annual Easter Jeep Safari event in Moab (USA) in late March, the B-Ute is a Jeep Renegade designed for heavy off-road use but without losing practicality.

New Cherokee

Under evaluation to return to the Brazilian market, the New Jeep Cherokee also makes the first appearance in the country, a few months after being launched in North America. The model, which also won the new 2.0 turbo engine of 272 hp, displays an extensive restyling.

Both at the front and rear, the new optical assemblies with extensive use of LEDs and the new bumpers have renewed the unique Cherokee style. In the interior, the center console has been redesigned, with repositioning of the connectivity hub, which increased the space of the object holder.

Grand Cherokee

Top of the Jeep range, the big SUV goes on sale at dealers of the brand in national territory, in a single, Limited version, with two V6 engines: the Pentastar 3.6-liter gasoline and 3.0 turbo diesel. The transmission is always automatic with eight gears, with Quadra-Trac II full-time traction.

In the long list of equipment, it is worth mentioning seven air bags, panoramic sunroof, electric front seats with heating and ventilation and the entertainment set, consisting of the Uconnect center with 8.4-in display in the panel, two 9-in rear screens with HDMI inputs and wireless headphones and premium sound with nine speakers and a subwoofer.

Special actions

In addition to all these SUVs, the Jeep stand will have more attractions. One of them is the Jeep Studio Tattoo which, as the name already says, will be a tattoo parlor - open throughout the day of the event. To be able to access it, you will need to be registered at the Jeep Nation Relationship Club, which can be done right there on the spot. The tattoo artists from Black Ball Tattoo studio will be free to make a variety of drawing options - including some related to the Jeep. Even a Compass will be tattooed during the Motor Show.

Sales champion among the stores of the Sao Paulo Motor Show in the last two editions, Jeep Gear will be present with a new collection and layout with the face of the brand - sharing space with Mopar. Highlight on the launching of the line of shoes, such as sneakers and slippers, which will be added to the shirts, caps, wallets, purses, backpacks, key chains and other items that only reinforce the lifestyle of the Jeep brand.
