Four Chrysler, Jeep Vehicles Take Seven KBB.com 'Top Ten' Awards

Style and performance keep getting better at Fiat Chrysler Automobiles (FCA), headquartered in Auburn Hills, Michigan, as four Chrysler and Jeep models were honored in seven of Kelley Blue Book’s 2015 "Top Ten Awards" lists. As longtime auto industry’s experts, KBB.com has created the standard for evaluating models of all sizes, ages and conditions. Earning KBB recognition for quality and capability is a prestigious honor.

A powerful endorsement of FCA doing the right things in product development was the nomination of the all-new 2015 Jeep Renegade to the KBB.com "10 Favorite New-For-2015" award ranking. Adding to that, the 2015 Renegade was also honored as one of the "10 Best All-Wheel Drive Vehicles Under $25,000."

The new Jeep Renegade scored a third time when named, along with the 2015 Jeep Wrangler, to the list of KBB.com’s "10 Best SUVs Under $25,000."

Further demonstrating the diversity of Fiat Chrysler’s current range, the new Chrysler 200 midsize sedan was named one the "Ten Best Sedans Under $25,000." The editors at KBB.com particularly noted the elegant interior and multitude of entertainment options that complement the smooth and quiet ride.

In addition to earning praise and notice with their low-cost sedan and SUV options, Fiat Chrysler Automobiles hauled in two other important awards for styling and character from the experts at Kelley Blue Book. In the category of the "10 Coolest Cars Under $25,000," both the 2015 Jeep Wrangler and the 2015 Fiat Abarth came home with honors.

In summary, the 2015 Jeep Renegade finished in KBB.com’s Top Ten three times, the 2015 Jeep Wrangler was chosen twice, while the Chrysler 200 and the Fiat 500 Abarth were named once each.

Jeep Renegade

The Jeep Renegade was noted for its styling and capability. Offering open air driving and the best-in-class 4x4 option, FCA’s new sport utility was praised by the KBB.com judges for comfort, efficiency and off-road capability. Offered in the Sport, Latitude, Limited and Trailhawk, the MSRP for the Renegade Sport begins at $17,995. The Trailhawk, with most of the top-end options, comes in at just under $26,000 MSRP. The Renegade is a viable option for the first-time car buyer or small families in search of economy, fun and versatility. The 4x4 option adds safety and stability when roads become slick and icy.

Jeep Wrangler

The new Jeep Wrangler is the most road and trail capable SUV on the market. In addition to the KBB.com awards, the dedicated off-road experts at Four Wheeler magazine have named the Wrangler Rubicon the "4x4 of the Decade," a very powerful endorsement indeed.

Chrysler 200

Switching gears to the new Chrysler 200, this midsize sedan offers great economy (36 mpg highway) with tons of luxury in a lower-priced sedan. In addition to the smoothness of the ride and quietness, the built-in elegance and the 295 horsepower engine deliver a very special automobile at a reasonable price. The sleek exterior gives the impression of a much more expensive roadster in a surprisingly roomy package. Loaded with technology and safety features, the Chrysler 200 offers great value as a family car in the city or country.

Fiat 500 Abarth

Last, and certainly not least, is the fun, sporty and, as the KBB.com judges put it, cool Fiat 500 Abarth. FCA added a sport suspension and turbocharger to the Abarth that propels this four-cylinder, five-speed high-performance city car from 0 to 60 mph in a torrid 6.9 seconds.

The Fiat 500 is a precisely engineered small car with high performance capability. The 500 offers a 5-speed manual or a six-speed automatic transmission with its 160 horsepower 1.6-liter engine. Many of the features available in the larger Chrysler and Jeep stablemates are also available in the Fiat 500, including Electronic Stability Control (ESC), a 7-inch screen for monitoring performance information, a rear-view camera and other safety and tech features.
