Used Jeep cars for sale

Jeep model range explained

Jeep’s entire lineup is made up of SUV models, with no traditional cars in sight.

Kicking off Jeep’s lineup is the Renegade. This compact SUV has the boxy, upright looks you’d expect from a Jeep, but pairs them with city-friendly dimensions making this model just as home on tight streets as it is off them. The cabin has plenty of room for four adults to sit comfortably, or five at a pinch, and the boot benefits from the body’s squared-off shape.

Moving up a size in the lineup brings us to the Compass. This SUV is still reasonably small on the outside, so it’ll still feel well at home in town. Inside, you get a welcome boost in space, especially in the rear seats, making it easier to convince wriggling kids to get seated. Recent versions also get the option of Jeep’s frugal 4xe plug-in hybrid engine, which develops a meaty 240hp while being able to achieve more than 150mpg if you drive using battery power as often as possible.

In the middle of the Jeep range is the Cherokee. This model first emerged in the ‘70s and has been a familiar face in the Jeep lineup ever since. The Cherokee takes everything up a step over the Compass, with even more interior space, allowing five adults to stretch out, and a very large boot, able to tackle most day-to-day tasks.

It might be easy to dismiss the Grand Cherokee as merely a slightly larger Cherokee, but this model is pitched as an even more luxurious option to rival premium SUV competitors. As a result, passengers get acres of space to stretch out, and the boot is easily large enough for almost anything you can throw at it. Most Grand Cherokees sold in the UK come with strong diesel engines, making them a good option if you need to tow a trailer.

Capping off the Jeep lineup is the Wrangler. When you’re asked to picture a ‘Jeep’, this is almost certainly the model you think of – echoing the styling of the original WWII military Jeeps. It’s simply unstoppable off road thanks to grippy four-wheel drive and loads of ground clearance, but can be a little noisy and bumpy when driven on road as a result. If you do occasionally go off road, however, few can go as far as the Wrangler.
