2020 Jeep Renegade

Like all Jeeps, the Renegade is built for capability, efficiency, and finesse. Drivers can choose between two latest engine options. The 1.3-liter four-cylinder turbo engine produces 177 horsepower and 210 lb-ft of torque, while still getting up to 32 miles per gallon on the highway. With up to 180 horsepower and 175 lb-ft of torque, the 2.4-liter Tigershark engine and 9-speed transmission offer a smooth ride from 0 to 60.

Jeep Renegades built after 2019 include available Forward Collision Warning and LED projector high-beam controls, making this SUV a Top Safety Pick by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS). Newer Renegades offer all the latest technology, including 4G Wi-Fi Hotspot, a UConnect touchscreen with smartphone integration, and Sirius XM Guardian with remote access to your vehicle.

The Renegade’s interior features a smart Design ‘N Hide adjustable cargo floor. For easier loading, move it up. Move it down for added cargo space. Storage is easy with 60/40 split-folding rear seats, along with a front passenger seat that folds flat for extended storage. This five-passenger SUV is versatile enough to take you from the city streets to off-roading adventures.

2020 Jeep Compass

The Jeep Compass offers over 70 safety and security features, including full-speed forward collision warning with active braking. Using radar sensors and automatic brakes, your Compass can help prevent dangerous accidents by watching the road and monitoring the various conditions around you. The Compass is built with high-strength steel to protect you and your passengers in the event of a crash.

Add useful features like rain-sensing windshield wipers that turn on at the first sign of moisture. Freezing temperatures are no match for the Compass’ heated exterior mirrors and windshield wiper de-icer that keep slush at bay.

The Jeep Compass is all business under the hood, but inside, there’s plenty of reason to party. The Alpine Premium Audio system provides the perfect soundtrack for your Jeep’s latest excursion. New for 2020, this 12-channel 506-watt amplifier has nine speakers and a dual voice coil 8-inch subwoofer.

2020 Jeep Cherokee

Also a safety favorite of the IIHS, the Jeep Cherokee, is assembled in the United States (in Belvidere, Indiana to be exact), staying true to Jeep’s long-standing commitment to freedom and independence. On the inside, the Cherokee feels more like a luxury SUV than a rugged off-roading machine. Drivers can opt for heated and ventilated front seats, a heated steering wheel, and dual climate control to ensure supreme comfort regardless of outside weather conditions.

The CommandView Dual-Pane Panoramic Sunroof with a power front and fixed rear means you’ll never feel boxed in. Everyone gets a view of the clear sky above, day or night. The Cherokee has plenty of space, with seating for five and 60/40 split-folding rear seats and an available sliding rear seat to conform to any cargo needs. Any version of the Cherokee is equipped to tow a 2,000-pound load just in case you decide to hitch on some extra gear for your trip; however, it can be equipped to handle 4,500 pounds.

Parking is a cinch in the Cherokee, with premium parking technology, including three available systems to fit you perfectly into a tight spot. ParkSense Rear Park Assist with Stop takes advantage of four different rear sensors, helping you stay alert when any obstacles are in the way. The ParkView Rear Back-Up Camera provides a clear rear view with dynamic gridlines to guide your every move. To help you identify open spots, the Parallel and Perpendicular Park Assist with Full Stop is your new best friend. It even steers your vehicle for you while offering direction on when to shift gears, push the brakes or accelerate.

2020 Jeep Wrangler

No discussion of Jeep would be complete without mention of the iconic Wrangler. The Jeep Wrangler is no stranger to recognition for everything from its performance to lasting value. On multiple occasions (including 2009, 2012, and 2013), Kelley Blue Book awarded the Wrangler with its Best Resale Value Award. It was also given the similar “Models to Best Hold Its Value” award in 1998, 1999, 2003, 2011, and 2012.

Additional awards the Wrangler has accumulated include Four Wheeler Magazine’s Four Wheeler of the Year Award in 2007 and 2014, along with being listed as one of Business Week Magazine’s Most Iconic Cars of the Last 20 Years (in 2009). For three different years, 1997, 2007, and 2012, Petersen’s 4-Wheel and Off-Road chose the Jeep Wrangler for its 4X4 of the Year Award. More recently, in 2018, an i-SeeCars.com study found the Wrangler to have the lowest depreciation after five years of any other vehicle.

The Jeep Wrangler is also a Guinness World Record winner. In 2007, it climbed the highest altitude ever conquered by a four-wheeler. The course was the highest volcano on the planet, Chile’s Ojos del Salado, at a distance of 21,804 feet.

Today, the Jeep Wrangler continues to be one of the best investments you can make in a vehicle. Not only does it continue to win a steady stream of accolades (2020 marked the Wrangler’s 10th year in a row of winning the SUV of Texas by the Texas Auto Writers Association), but the Wrangler now offers more desirable options than ever before. The addition of a new diesel engine and e-Torque Mild Hybrid System means there’s a Wrangler out there for every driver. Check out our selection at Zimmer CDJR and experience the Wrangler’s infamous capability for yourself.

Trail-Rated to Perfection

Jeeps go through rigorous testing that’s unlike any other SUV on the market. Looking at five key areas of capability, Jeep runs its vehicles through the wringer to ensure top performance that you won’t find elsewhere. Jeep brand 4X4 systems are designed for superior tire traction so your vehicle won’t slip and slide on steep or rocky ascents and descents. Keep your Jeep firmly planted on the ground as you safely navigate treacherous terrain.

The second characteristic evaluated by Jeep is water fording ability. You never know when you’ll be faced with an unexpected puddle or stream, but luckily Jeep’s water sealing and high air intakes prevent water from slowing you down. To get over rocks or swerve past tight squeezes, Jeep’s maneuverability allows you to steer and crawl over obstacles with ease.

Larger obstacles are handled by Jeep’s excellent articulation, enabling careful climbing that keeps all four wheels on the ground. Finally, ground clearance is designed at the ideal height to avoid underside vehicle damage where it counts. You won’t have to hesitate when driving over uneven ground with the unwavering confidence of a trail-rated Jeep.
