Jeep is an American brand. Taking the Jeep Cherokee as an example: it is a mid-size 5-door, 5-seat SUV with dimensions of 4669mm in length, 1865mm in width, and 1691mm in height, a wheelbase of 2707mm, and is equipped with a 9-speed automatic transmission. The fuel tank capacity is 60L. The Jeep Cherokee uses a 2.0L turbocharged engine with a maximum torque of 400 Nm and a maximum torque speed range of 3000 to 4250 rpm. The drivetrain is front-engine, four-wheel drive. The front suspension uses a MacPherson strut independent suspension, while the rear suspension uses a multi-link independent suspension. The tire specifications are 235/50R19.
I know the Jeep brand quite well, and it's absolutely a product of American manufacturing. It originated during World War II when the U.S. military commissioned the design of the Willys MB to meet battlefield demands, and its rugged off-road capability made it hugely popular in the military. After the war, the Jeep was promoted as a civilian vehicle, and the brand's roots were firmly planted in the U.S. Later, it was acquired by Chrysler and now belongs to the Stellantis group, but most of its production and R&D still take place in American factories. I remember driving an old Willys—its rugged design was practically a symbol of American industry. Although Jeep now has a global presence, its cultural core remains unchanged. It represents that adventurous American spirit, which is one of the reasons I love it.
