Jeep® Named America’s “Most Patriotic Brand” For 19th Consecutive Year!

Going into the 4th of July weekend, nothing can make the Jeep® brand prouder than being named America’s “Most Patriotic Brand” for the 19th consecutive year in the annual Brand Keys 50 Most Patriotic Brands survey.

A national sample of 5,804 consumers, 16 to 65 years of age, balanced for gender and political affiliation, were drawn from the nine U.S. Census Regions. Consumers assessed 1,172 brands in 131 B2C and B2B categories as to their resonance for the single value – “patriotism.” Brand Keys assessments have been independently validated to correlate with positive consumer behavior in the marketplace at levels of 0.80+ making them some of the most accurate brand measures possible.

“The Jeep community is like no other,” said Olivier Francois, Global Chief Marketing Officer, Stellantis. “With the Jeep brand’s recognition as America’s ‘Most Patriotic Brand,’ we see that there is no other automotive brand that is so instantly recognizable and none whose freedom proposition is cemented into the history of its home nation like the Jeep brand, and protected with such passion by its owners and enthusiasts not only in America but around the world.”

“Independence Day is an appropriate time to acknowledge the history and value of patriotism,” said Robert Passikoff, President of Brand Keys. “And those who have contributed to it. ’Patriotism’ is one of the most powerful values a brand can own, and the Jeep brand has led the brand patriotism parade since the Most Patriotic Brand in America survey was created. A brand like Jeep that can literally own a value as strong as patriotism is able to emotionally differentiate itself from the competition and engage customers. The Jeep brand track record proves that, and we are proud to congratulate them again this year for their extraordinary accomplishment.”

“It was 80 years ago this year that the Jeep brand first forged its reputation of American might during World War II,” said Jim Morrison, Vice President, Jeep Brand North America. “The brand’s recognition as ‘America’s Most Patriotic Brand’ for the 19th consecutive year is both a testament to the Jeep community and to the people who since 1941 have dedicated themselves to building iconic SUVs known around the world for outdoor adventure, freedom, and off-road capability.” 

The Jeep brand takes its love for America seriously. The brand continues to offers special-edition Freedom models across the entire lineup for the 2021 model year. These Jeep brand Freedom models feature military-themed exterior and interior design cues, such as the large “Oscar Mike” military star decal on the hood, matte black/Satin Carbon wheels and accents, and an American flag decal along the side of each vehicle. For Wrangler and Gladiator, this also includes an “Oscar Mike” decal on the rear tailgate. As part of its long-standing relationship with the United Service Organizations, the Jeep brand will make a $250 donation to the USO with every 2021 Freedom edition sold.  

For those who are active or recently retired from Military service, Jeep offers an additional $500 Military Bonus Cash across the Jeep 4×4 lineup.

And with it’s newest addition of vehicles hitting dealers this summer, both the fifth-generation Grand Cherokee (WL) and the all-new ultra-premium Wagoneer and Grand Wagoneer (WS) models will feature the American flag proudly on their flanks. The flag represents the country that led to the creation of the brand 80-years ago during the battle of WWII, as well as the country from where they are manufactured.
