Jeep® Wrangler wins "Instant Classic Under $30,000" category
Recognition follows Four Wheeler magazine editors naming Jeep® Wrangler "Best and Most Significant 4x4 Vehicle of the Decade," and "Best New Car for Off-Roaders" award from Cars.com
Wrangler provides legendary Jeep® capability, interior space and comfort, plus unique open-air fun
The iconic Jeep® Wrangler has captured another prominent accolade, laying claim to influential US-based 'Inside Line' magazine's "Readers' Most Wanted" Award in the Instant Classic Under $30,000 category. In recognising the Jeep® Wrangler, 'Inside Line' called the Jeep® Wrangler "one of the few automotive icons in this world. It's stayed true to its heritage and deserves the win, even in this strong, competitive group."
Earlier this year, Jeep® Wrangler was named the "Best and Most Significant 4x4 Vehicle of the Decade" by Four Wheeler magazine editors, and the "Best New Car For Off-Roaders" by Cars.com.
"This prestigious award from the readers of 'Inside Line' reinforces the fact that consumers love the Jeep® Wrangler," said Mike Manley, President and CEO Jeep® Brand, Chrysler Group LLC. "Wrangler continues to bring a smile to our customers' faces, offering a unique blend of benchmark capability and pure open-air fun and adventure that only Jeep® can provide."
Jeep® Wrangler offers a combination of benchmark capability, numerous safety and convenience features, interior space, versatility and comfort, on-road refinement and open-air fun as the only true 4x4 convertible.
"The two-door Jeep® Wrangler remains true to its heritage as the original, extreme fun-and-freedom machine and is the only 4x4 with multiple open-air options," said Jack Rodencal, Managing Director of Chrysler Group Middle East. "Jeep® Wrangler Unlimited is the only four-door open-air SUV on the market with room for five adult passengers, and has proven to be incredibly popular with customers who want a Jeep® Wrangler, but need additional space and versatility."
Standard on both models is the innovative Sunrider® soft top, which includes a sun roof in addition to the full top-down option. Wrangler's available Freedom Top®, a three-piece modular hard top, features left and right front-passenger panels and a rear panel, providing more options for open-air driving. Either top may be completely removed for the ultimate open-air experience.
