This JEEP moves as good as it looks

That the term "JEEP" presently ha negative connotations for many Jamaicans made our discovery at the ADA Motorshow all the more pleasant.

Firstly, the JEEP brand, as iconic a 4WD vehicle s there ever was, is back in Jamaica officially. This time being represented by Kingston Industrial Garage KIG. But wait! - there's more! the new Jeep Cherokee and Wrangler are being offered in Right Hand Drive. Yes, the Americans have decided to accommodate persons who drive on the left side of the road (though our personal preference is still toward LHD).

2015 Wrangler Unlimited

For 2015, the upgraded Wrangler Unlimited comes standard with an Alpine audio system, Mp3 adaptability, and a dual hardtop-softtop roof among others. The Cherokee comes with touch-screen navigation, wireless charging pad and steering wheel controls.

The soft top is manually actuated, but you can always get the hardtop version, in which case the canopy will be stored in the cavernous boot at your convenience.

Welcome back, Jeep. One (or two) to watch.
