Jeep® Wrangler Wins 2012 ALG Residual Value Award for Best Compact Utility Vehicle


The new 2012 Jeep® Wrangler has received the Residual Value Award in the “Compact Utility” category from ALG, the industry benchmark for residual values and depreciation data.

The annual ALG Residual Value Awards recognize vehicles that are predicted to retain the highest percentage of their original price after a conventional three-year period.

“The Wrangler is iconic among SUVs, and Jeep has continued to build its status by pairing its famous rock crawling abilities with fresh features, improved powertrain, and a refined interior,” said Raj Sundaram for ALG. “Regularly updated editions stoke demand, helping it jump to the top of the Compact Utility segment.”

ALG Residual Value Award winners are determined through careful study of the competition in each segment, historical vehicle performance and industry trends. Vehicle quality, production levels relative to demand, pricing and marketing strategies remain the key factors that affect ALG’s residual value forecasts.

“We are delighted that ALG has recognized our new Jeep Wrangler with its Residual Value Award,” said Mike Manley, President and CEO – Jeep Brand, Chrysler Group LLC. “Consumers continue to aspire to own the unique Jeep Wrangler. By offering Wrangler in two- and four-door models, with a variety of open-air top options and an array of limited-edition models, Wrangler has continued to generate significant demand. With a more fuel efficient and powerful powertrain for 2012, we expect that demand to continue.”

The ALG award is the latest in a wave of prestigious awards for the 2012 Jeep Wrangler, including Petersen’s 4 Wheel & Off-Road’s “4x4 Of The Year,” the Texas Auto Writers Association’s “Mid-Size SUV of Texas,” the 2011 SEMA Show’s “Hottest 4x4 SUV,” Active Lifestyle Vehicle’s “Best Value Off-Road,” and Kelley Blue Book’s “Best Resale Value Awards: ‘Top 10’ and ‘Compact Utility Vehicle.’”
