 JEEP RENEGADE IS ONCE AGAIN CROWNED ‘4X4 OF THE YEAR’

The hugely popular Jeep Renegade has been named 4x4 Magazine's ‘4x4 of the Year 2017', retaining the crown for the second year in a row.

Rapidly growing in popularity on Europe's roads, and hugely capable off them, the Jeep Renegade had an excellent 2016 in terms of sales, and has continued to scoop numerous awards.

In this latest recognition, the off-road driving publication's panel of expert judges was unable to find a contender capable of taking away the Jeep Renegade's ‘4x4 of the Year' crown. Excellent on-road, the range-topping Trailhawk version also outshone rivals on 4x4 Magazine's tough off-road evaluation course.

"Since winning last year, we are now seeing many more Renegades on the roads across Europe," says Nigel Fryatt, Editor, 4x4 Magazine. "Admittedly, not all of them are Trailhawk versions, and some are front-wheel drive, yet that merely underlines the importance of this small SUV.

"The Renegade range is comprehensive and every owner is getting a well built, well equipped and surprisingly spacious small SUV. Those that choose four-wheel drive options get a lot more, with the Trailhawk version the absolute master."

In the same awards, the Renegade won the ‘Mid-range SUV' category, the legendary Jeep Wrangler took the ‘Hardcore' class for the fifth consecutive year, and the Jeep Cherokee won the ‘Top-Range SUV' group.

"This has been another very good year for Jeep and for Renegade, rounded off nicely with the top award from a leading 4x4 magazine," says Damien Dally, head of brand, Jeep UK and Ireland.

"Growing sales, continual good reports from the media and thousands of happy customers tell us that Jeep has a winning product in Renegade. And the verdict of expert panellists, such as those at 4x4 Magazine, confirms that view. I am delighted that Renegade has been crowned ‘4x4 of the Year' for the second year running."

The Jeep Renegade range starts at €22,950 OTR for the 1.6E-TorQ 110hp Sport.
