Discover Jeep Vehicles in BC, Canada
Jeep, now part of the Stellantis Group, traces its roots back to World War II. During this conflict, the Allied armies relied on the light 4x4s from Willys-Overland for transportation. They were so widely deployed through 1940s and in the post-war period that everyone - soldier or civilian - came to know their name.Today, Jeep produces a range of utility vehicles and SUVs. Like their wartime predecessors, many of these autos have off-road capabilities. In fact, the Trail Rated badge gets awarded to those 4x4s in the product line that pass stringent tests related to away-from-the-pavement performance.
Jeep History: From World War II Battlefields to BC, Canada
Willys-Overland won a major contract with the U.S. military to mass produce light 4x4s. Along with Ford, the company made more than a half-million of these vehicles during World War II at a cost of less than $1,000 per unit.Willys trademarked Jeep in the 1940s. Ownership of the company changed hands multiple times, transferring to Kasier-Jeep, AMC and, finally, Stellantis. Though the names may have been different, the dedication to quality remained the same.
Jeep Brings Unique Automaking Philosophy to BC
Though Jeep has dabbled with other concepts - including 4x2 and part-time 4x4 options - it has mostly stayed true to its off-road roots. This is now evident in its 2021 line-up, which offers all-terrain performance to BC.Jeep Wrangler
Some of this best-selling SUV's traits - like the removable roof, windshield, and doors - bring to mind the original Willys-Overland 4x4s of the 1940s. However, other features, including the Selec-Terrain traction control system, fuse the Wrangler with a distinctly modern touch.
The Jeep Wrangler has numerous choices both in terms of options and packages. There are twelve 2020 models and sixteen trims available in 2021.
Jeep Cherokee
The Jeep Cherokee has been through several generations, each one proving popular and forcing competitors to respond with changes to their own lineups. Today, the fifth generation of this automotive icon is a small SUV, and shoppers looking for fuel-efficient options gravitate toward it.
Features like Selec-Terrain traction management and best-in-class towing capabilities mean that this truck is a standout in its niche. The current model year also offers tools like a power liftgate, blind-spot monitoring, and shift-on-the-fly four-wheel drive.
Jeep Grand Cherokee
For example, the Grand Cherokee Laredo is a base model with a 4x4 drivetrain and fuel-efficient 3.6L V6 engine; while the Trailhawk trim has off-road suspension and a four-wheel-drive system that increases torque on steep, unstable surfaces.
Features like leather heated seats and premium Harman Kardon stereos, meanwhile, make the Jeep Grand Cherokee Overland and High Altitude competitive in the entry-level luxury SUV market.
Jeep Gladiator
Its unique design, 4x4 system, safety features like blind spot monitoring, and overall value earned the Gladiator Truck of the Year from the North American Car, Utility, and Truck of the Year Awards (NACTOY).
The Gladiator merges performance with its classic looks. It can tow 3,470 kg and haul more than 700 kg in its truck bed. Every trim has a Trail Rated badge, which gets awarded to Jeeps that pass stringent off-road tests.
Jeep Compass
They also get a compact-but-comfortable, tech-rich interior. The 2020 and 2021 Compass trims have the innovative Uconnect touchscreen systems for navigation and entertainment.
These modern traits extend to safety. Adaptive cruise and traction controls keep Compass drivers and passengers safe on the road, while available blind-spot monitoring and cross-path detection can help with accident avoidance.
Jeep Renegade
The new Renegade delivers class-leading comfort, offering a passenger volume of 100.1 cu.-ft and ample dimensions (including 41.2-inches of frontal leg room and 35.1-inches in the rear). It also boasts tech features, like Uconnect entertainment and navigation touchscreen interfaces, and flexible seating options. Additionally, the rear bench folds down to provide up to 1,438 L of cargo storage.
The Renegade is an ideal example of the adaptability that is common to all Jeep vehicles. You can easily move seats and add or subtract components to get a setup that works best for your particular needs.
