There seemed to be tons of Jeep brand SUVs in Italy when I was there in October. Our rental car was one without asking for it, and there were four in a row at our hotel in Amalfi. Maybe they are popular in tourist areas?
- _zamorano_ 7y agoJeep, being part of FCA Group (Fiat Chrysler Automobiles), is closer to Italy automotive industry than any other SUV brand.
- jaclaz 7y agoAdditionally, they (actual Jeeps from FCA) were marketed/priced aggressively, and quite a few went in the rent a car segment. Think of 25,000 to 35,000 for a "Jeep Renegade" (which is rather common in Italy), vs. 50,000 to 70,000 for (say) a BMW X3. https://www.quattroruote.it/listino/jeep/renegade https://www.quattroruote.it/listino/jeep/renegade https://www.quattroruote.it/listino/bmw/x3 https://www.quattroruote.it/listino/bmw/x3 Speaking of the Renegade, they are manufactured in Italy, and have the same platform as the Fiat 500X, and they are largely 2 wheel drive.
