AAA Arizona has named the 2015 Chrysler 300 and 2015 Jeep_® Renegade two of its Top Vehicle Picks for 2015.

The Chrysler 300 has been named a Top Pick in the Full-size Sedan segment, while the Jeep Renegade earned the title of Top Pick in the Cool Car segment.

Jim Prueter, AAA Arizona automotive journalist, said of the Chrysler 300, "This big, bold American sedan has world-class levels of sophistication, craftsmanship, and technology including Wi-Fi service."

When praising the Jeep Renegade, Prueter added, "It has personality, character, and most importantly, it is iconic Jeep in spades. Its appearance suggests a cartoonish ruggedness and its Trail Rated creds confirm its off-road capability. There's no denying the little Renegade is a head turner."

Each year, AAA Arizona names the best vehicles in 16 categories, chosen from automobiles recently test-driven. Vehicles are evaluated on performance, safety, fuel economy, styling, reliability, and other criteria.
