Jeep® Brand Wins Big at the 2018 OFF ROAD Magazine Awards

02 July 2018

The Jeep® brand has underlined its legendary reputation by winning a number of top honours at the German SUV and 4×4 title OFF ROAD Magazine’s annual Readers’ Choice Awards.

With 174 models competing across 13 award categories, the Jeep brand stood out by winning two coveted first places, as already in the last two years. The iconic Jeep Wrangler won the ‘Off-Roader’ A category, for the fifth consecutive year, taking 29.4 percent of the expert readers’ votes – well ahead of the second-placed (23.9 percent).

Meanwhile, the Jeep Renegade was named Best ‘Subcompact’ SUV in the C category, for a fourth year in a row. The Renegade was the first choice of OFF ROAD readers, earning 16.8 percent of the votes. This was a particularly impressive achievement as the Renegade is the first Jeep model ever to run in the sub-compact SUV class. Its unmistakable Jeep design, as well as its class-leading 4×4 capability, were particularly well received with OFF ROAD readers.

The flagship Jeep Grand Cherokee achieved second place in the B category ‘luxury Off-roader’, ahead of all other imported brands in Germany.

The OFF ROAD Awards were started in 1982, giving enthusiastic readers of the specialist 4×4 magazine the chance to vote for their favourite models. Over 43,500 readers took part in the 2018 edition of the OFF ROAD polls.
