New Year Brings Host of New Awards and Accolades to Jeep® Brand and its Hot-selling Wrangler and Grand Cherokee vehicles

Just two weeks into 2012 and the Jeep brand and its most recognized vehicles – the Grand Cherokee and Wrangler – have already captured 10 new awards and accolades.

The recognition comes on the heels of Jeep’s U.S. sales rising 44 percent in 2011 – with each Jeep model up more than 30 percent – while industry sales rose 11 percent.

“2011 marked the first full year of sales for the all-new new Jeep Grand Cherokee and refreshed Liberty and Patriot models, as well as the introduction of a new Compass and new, more fuel-efficient Jeep Wrangler,” said Mike Manley, President and CEO – Jeep Brand, Chrysler Group LLC. “Consumers are clearly recognizing our new, improved Jeep lineup – and an array of awards both last year and already this year make it clear that industry opinion leaders are, too.

“The awards we have received from these media and industry influencers are a huge testament to the Jeep brand and its vehicles, and I am grateful for each and every one of them,” Manley added. “And without question, the most important recognition we receive occurs when our customers vote with their checkbook. For Jeep to be recognized as the brand with the largest increase in customer loyalty is fantastic. My thanks go out to all of our Jeep customers for their business.”
