Once again, the latest lineup of Jeep vehicles takes the lead as superior models for off-roading adventures. From the iconic Wrangler to the eco-friendly Grand Cherokee 4xe, these SUVs offer top-tier performance and impressive capabilities. Plus, the family has grown to include a pickup truck - the Gladiator - and a compact crossover - the Renegade. Everyone can find something they love.
Produced in 13 unique trim levels, the new 2022 Jeep Wrangler brings its legendary off-roading prowess to BC. All models come with a 4x4 drivetrain for enhanced traction and the Trail Rated badge. This shows that they are able to perform under strenuous conditions in harsh settings such as rock crawling and water fording. The standard powertrain is a 3.6-litre V6 from Pentastar that makes 285 hp and 260 lb-ft of torque. However, you can opt for the 2.0-litre turbocharged four-cylinder (270 hp and 295 lb-ft) or the 3.0-litre EcoDiesel V6 (260 hp and 422 lb-ft).
Similar in style to the Wrangler, the 2022 Jeep Gladiator is the only truck in the fleet. As a mid-size model, it is produced in 7 trim levels, and it has the same Trail Rated abilities for impeccable articulation over jagged formations and manoeuvrability in tight spaces. It also offers drivers a Best-In-Class payload rating of 771 kg (1,700 lb). As for towing, it can haul up to 3,470 kg (7,650 lb) with the aforementioned Pentastar V6 motor. Meanwhile, the EcoDiesel V6 can haul up to 2,948 kg (6,500 lb) with ease.
For the first time ever, the Jeep Grand Cherokee is offered as a plug-in hybrid known as the 4xe. The original is also still in production; however, this particular model is something to consider if you lead an urban lifestyle. Moved by a 2.0-litre turbocharged plug-in hybrid engine paired with a 12-kWh lithium-ion battery pack, it provides a zero-emission driving range of 42 km. That translates to a total combined range of 761 km. It is also worth noting that the battery is sealed in a water-tight container. This enables you to travel in streams or creeks up to 61 cm (24-inches) deep.
If you are looking for a compact SUV that performs well in the city, on the highway, and in nature, then you may want to take a peek at the 2022 Jeep Renegade. Available in five trims, each model packs a powerful punch. It uses a 1.3-litre turbocharged direct-injection engine that generates 177 hp and 201 lb-ft of torque. Fitted with a 9-speed automatic transmission, it can tow up to 907 kg (2,000 lb) - which is more than other vehicles in its class. It also gets great gas mileage with a combined rating of 9.2 L/100 km (31 mpg).
