Jeep® models have once again dominated the prestigious Readers’ Choice Awards of specialist German 4×4 magazine OFF ROAD.

 

The brand took five top honours in the awards after the title’s knowledgeable readers were asked to pick the very best 4×4 vehicles and SUVs of the market from a massive field of 248 models across 13 categories.

 

The big winner was the Jeep Renegade which was crowned ‘Best Compact SUV’ (D category) for an incredible sixth consecutive year.
Beating 19 other models to retain the title, the Renegade was praised for its class-leading 4×4 capability combined with unmistakable Jeep design.

 

The flagship Jeep Grand Cherokee meanwhile, was named the best imported luxury off-roader and was second overall in the ‘Luxury Off-Roader’ (B Category).

 

Not to be outdone, the iconic Jeep Wrangler, achieved second place in the ‘Off-Roader’ A category, taking  28.4 percent of the expert readers’ votes  –  only 0.6 percent less than the winner and well ahead of the third-placed model (15.1 percent).
Jeep Wrangler also took second place in the ‘Alternative Drives’ category  –  a particularly important recognition ahead of the launch of the  Wrangler 4xe model with plug-in hybrid technology.

 

Also well in advance of its European market debut, the all-new Jeep Gladiator took the second place in the ‘Pick-up’ C category.

 

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 41,500 readers took part in the 2020 edition of the OFF ROAD polls (results will be in the print version of the OFF ROAD magazine, issue 8/20 at kiosk from July 14th, 2020)
