Jeep Wins Vincentric Canada Value Award
A few months ago, data and analytics company Vincentric held its “Best Value Awards”, a study put together to decide which vehicle currently available on the market can pass the test of time and still hold its value for years to come. While collecting information stateside, the 2021 Dodge Durango won the Vincentric Value Award, upgraded for the 2021 model year with performance-inspired style with the introduction of the Dodge Durango SRT Hellcat before the automaker tests the waters of alternative fuel with a Dodge Durango Hybrid (or plug-in hybrid). The study may be done in the states, but Canada is still a part of North America, and over in the north, they prefer something that can handle all kinds of terrain- the Jeep Wrangler.
“Wrangler is an absolutely iconic vehicle and the best-selling Jeep model in Canada…Along with being the most capable and recognized vehicle in the world, Wrangler’s success can also be attributed to its strong retained value and low cost of operation. Those are major factors in Canadians’ vehicle buying decisions, which this Vincentric award highlights for a third time.” – David Buckingham, President and CEO, FCA Canada
Is it an SUV? Is it a crossover? The Jeep Wrangler will always be a mystery in terms of vehicle segments – it doesn’t really fit in any of them. Some of us maybe thought “Jeep” was a vehicle class and not just a brand. It just seems so natural, and it doesn’t seem like it’s an easy choice for the auto market either. In Canada, the Jeep® Wrangler won the Vincentric Best Value in the Compact SUV/Crossover segment.
If some of our readers are curious about the credibility of Vincentric, the name is more familiar here, with more than a decade of number crunching, and a trusted source by AAA, JD Power, Fiat Chrysler Automobiles (FCA; now Stellantis), and other big names in the industry when it comes to automotive insight for the consumer. 2021 makes it the tenth year that the company has held the Best Value in Canada awards. Just like the study in the states, winners are picked based on objective data for vehicles in that segment and its depreciation. Vincentric looks at many factors, such as purchase price, retained value, fixed and operating costs, cost of insurance and repair, fuel consumption, and maintenance and repair costs. After five years, how does a vehicle hold up?
With 80 years of off-road performance, the Jeep Wrangler continues to provide Jeepers with adventure and a trusty vehicle in a variety of situations. Built with a body-on-frame design, and equipped with front and rear five-link suspension system, solid axles, electronic lockers, the Wrangler will keep traction and grip to provide the driver with control in even the most unsavory of road conditions. Modernized, the Jeep Wrangler comes with features such as Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and upgraded and automatic safety features, such as Blind-spot Monitoring and Rear Cross Path detection, adaptive cruise control, and Forward Collision Warning-Plus.
Entering a new age, don’t forget about the Jeep Wrangler 4xe. A revolution for the automaker, the 2021 Jeep Wrangler 4xe won the AutoTech Breakthrough Awards for its innovation and leadership. With a focus on automotive technologies, services, companies and products, including Connected Car tech, Electric Vehicles, Engine Tech, Automotive CyberSecurity, Sensor Technology, and more, the Wrangler 4xe finds its ways to win out.
