All-Wheel Drive Jeep Models
Every single Jeep model is equipped with all-wheel drive either coming standard or available as an option for drivers to upgrade to. That sure makes it easy when you are looking for an all-wheel drive model while checking out the Jeep lineup! There are even some Jeep models that only come with four-wheel drive models. The Jeep Wrangler, Jeep Grand Cherokee, and Jeep Wrangler Unlimited are all standard with four-wheel drive and are not available as front-wheel drive models.
However, some Jeep models do offer front-wheel drive, which has some benefits for those looking to have higher fuel efficiency numbers and those less concerned about the off-road capabilities of their vehicle. The following models have front-wheel drive options: Jeep Renegade, Jeep Compass, Jeep Patriot, and Jeep Cherokee.
All-Wheel Drive Benefits
There are many reasons why having a vehicle equipped with all-wheel drive can be beneficial, but the main reasons people choose all-wheel drive are for better traction while accelerating and for improved handling, especially in less than ideal conditions. Here in Wisconsin, we deal with many months of snowy and icy conditions, as well as rain in spring and summer months. Four-wheel drive also works to your advantage in off-road conditions such as plowing over mud, rocks and hilly terrain.
One of the few disadvantages of all-wheel drive is the reduced fuel economy ratings. This causes you to end up spending more money in gas than you would with a front-wheel-drive model, but we think the benefits outweigh the cost since it can be more reliable in inclement weather, which Wisconsin sees plenty of.
