“The growing popularity of Euro Camp Jeep is not only a result of our impressive sales increase, but more a testimony to owners’ passion for the Jeep brand and all it represents,” said Thomas Hausch, Vice President – International Sales, Chrysler Group. “Guests will be traveling from as far as Canada, Sweden, Ukraine and China, and from a record 28 different countries. Each year the reputation of the event grows, and more customers spread the word that Euro Camp Jeep is not to be missed.”
Participants will also be given a privileged look at the new Jeep Grand Cherokee, making its first appearance in Europe with a refreshed interior and exterior. The latest Grand Cherokee features an improved 4.7-liter V-8 engine that delivers improved fuel economy, as well as increased horsepower and torque compared with the engine it replaces. The Grand Cherokee also offers a host of innovative premium amenities, such as the MyGIG™ Multimedia Infotainment System, an advanced and flexible Hill Descent Control system providing more control in severe off-road hill descent, a new Hill Start Assist system that holds the vehicle automatically on steep hills for a smooth and controlled drive-away from stop signs and traffic signals, and Trailer Sway Control to minimize trailer sway during towing.
As part of the courses at Euro Camp Jeep, off-road driving experts will offer advanced 4x4 techniques and coaching that comply with the “Tread Lightly!” philosophy of responsible off-road driving and protection of the environment. Participants can also learn much more about their vehicles by talking directly with attending Jeep engineers. A “Jeep Kids” activity area will offer adventures for younger family members. The success of Jeep Jamboree spawned Camp Jeep: an annual outdoor lifestyle vacation experience launched 13 years ago for U.S. customers. Camp Jeep, upon which Euro Camp Jeep was first based, is held one weekend each year and offers a variety of 4x4 and other activities to more than 7,000 participants. Photos: Jeep (June 30, 2007)
