The post 3 BIG 2018 ADDITIONS FROM THE JEEP® BRAND appeared first on The Jeep Blog.
Trust us … these 2017 Jeep® brand concept vehicles are no mirage. This year the Jeep brand arrived in the Utah desert ready to turn heads and tackle trails with a lineup of off-road-ready concept vehicles. The one-of-a-kind 4×4 vehicles, built in partnership with Mopar® using Jeep Performance Parts, were introduced to off-road enthusiasts at the 51st annual Moab Easter Jeep Safari, and set off on a week-long desert adventure on some of the toughest, most challenging trails in the world.
The 2017 Jeep brand concept vehicles were put through the paces in Moab, displaying legendary Jeep brand capability and their own unique design and style. Here’s a rundown of the concept vehicles and their inspiration:
The Jeep® Grand One concept celebrates the 25th anniversary of the 1993 Grand Cherokee ZJ.
The Jeep® Safari concept delivers optimal views for all passengers while providing protection from the elements.
The Jeep® Quicksand concept is a hot rod-inspired Wrangler built for sand dunes.
The Jeep® Trailpass concept delivers Compass Trailhawk capability with added utility and cargo.
The Jeep® Switchback concept boasts added capability with 4-inch lift kit, 37-inch tires and Dana 44 axles.
The Jeep® CJ66 concept made its Moab debut, fusing a trio of vehicle generations and fueled by a Mopar 345 Crate HEMI® Engine Kit.
The Jeep® Luminator concept delivers the ultimate in lighting performance.
Ever wonder how these rugged concept vehicles make their way to Moab? Enjoy this behind-the-scenes glimpse at the design process, and two time-lapse videos that make building the vehicles look as exciting as taking them on a trail ride in the desert.

As it turns out, Chicago is the perfect city for a camping trip, and this year’s Chicago Auto Show made for one great campsite. The Jeep® brand recently set up our full interactive Camp Jeep exhibit of logs, dirt, boulders and water at McCormick Place, where visitors could experience all the off-road capability of the Jeep® brand lineup.
Here is a collection of pictures from our adventures in the Windy City.
Over the course of the show, we tested ground clearance, maneuverability and more. Best of all, we shared some great stories with our fellow off-road enthusiasts. Vehicles on-site in Chicago included the 2017 Jeep Grand Cherokee Summit in Granite Crystal, 2017 Jeep Renegade Desert Hawk® Limited Edition, 2017 Jeep Grand Cherokee Trailhawk in Redline, All-New 2017 Jeep Compass in Billet Silver, and 2017 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon Hard Rock Edition in Rhino.
Now we’re headed for new campsites where we can share the Jeep brand experience. Here’s a list of upcoming auto shows where you can visit Camp Jeep in the coming months. https://www.facebook.com/jeep/posts/10156749758411515
