Television commercials highlight the awarded Jeep Grand Cherokee Overland Summit model with its leather interior testing that is better than the Lexus RX350, as well as the vehicle's impressive 500-mile-per-tank driving range that delivers better highway fuel economy than the Honda Pilot EX – taking a new approach to celebrating this highly lauded vehicle.
Broadcast commercials include the following:
"Tee Time"
The 2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee maintains a best-in-class driving range of more than 500-miles per tank, enabling its drivers and passengers to travel from Pebble Beach to Los Angeles on a single tank. This humorous spot teases that even though your Jeep Grand Cherokee can make that long stretch without filling up, we're not sure that can be said about its owner.
"Sandbox"
The luxurious interior of the 2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee has everything it needs to play in the same sandbox as other luxury SUVs. With the Selec-Terrain™ Vehicle Management System, other luxury SUVs do not have the true "capability" to play in our sandbox.
"Lower"
Thanks to the advanced technology found in the 2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee with the Quadra Lift™ Air Suspension System, you can clearly raise your standards while lowering fuel consumption.
"Luxury for All"
The luxurious interior of the Jeep Grand Cherokee for rear seat passengers is a story all of its own. The Jeep brand designed and crafted the vehicle with such attention to detail to ensure that luxury was something everyone would notice. As a result, the Jeep grand Cherokee Overland Summit model was named one of Wards's "10 Best Interiors" this year.
The comprehensive campaign will complement the broadcast creative and speak to the luxurious interior of the Overland Summit and the 500-mile driving range of the new Pentastar V-6 engine. Media placement elements include network and cable television teamed with a full digital and social media strategy and CRM efforts. Creative efforts were developed by Global Hue, Southfield, Mich., the Jeep brand's lead advertising agency.
