DaimlerChrysler’s Jeep® brand continues to expand its reach to new territory into the world of Rallye car toughness equipped with a new body kit made by Mopar®. To be offered for a limited time only is the new Rallye Package that features the Authentic Jeep Accessories from Mopar offered for both 4x2 and 4x4 2007 Jeep Compass and Jeep Compass Limited models. Mopar is Chrysler’s original equipment parts manufacturer unlike Mercedes that produces its own parts like for instance its Mercedes sprinter brake pads.

The Jeep Compass was launched in the US and international markets in the later part of 2006. The Compass is compact sport-utility vehicle that combines the classic Jeep styling with contemporary lines. The Mopar Rallye Package improves this sleek styling and takes it to another level by coating Jeep Compass’ modern design with a bold toughness.

John Plecha, Director-Jeep Marketing and Global Communications said, “The Rallye Package from Mopar enhances the sleek, sophisticated and expressive styling and appearance of the Jeep Compass. It embellishes its modern Jeep appeal and gives the Compass a character all its own.”

The Mopar Rallye Package for the jeep Compass includes:

* A choice of colors that include Silver, Black, Inferno Red, Jeep Green, and Steel Blue.

* 18-inchx 7-inch black painted aluminum wheels that come with machine edges and chrome center caps.

* Roof-mounted rear spoiler that adds performance-oriented styling

* Auxiliary driving lights complete with covers that features the Jeep logo

* To reinforce the Compass’ compelling personality are bright exhaust tips

* Chrome Rallye badge

* The Mopar body kit features front and rear fascia overlay, lower honeycomb front fascia grille and side sill lower panels, and door appliqués

The suggested retail price of the Jeep Compass Rallye Package for the US market is $1,985 for the Sport while $1,859 for the Limited. The Jeep Compass Rallye is going to be produced in limited number. Orders are already being taken both for the US and the international markets.

The Jeep Compass Rallye edition was presented by Chrysler as a concept vehicle at last year’s Frankfurt Motor Show. The Jeep Compass is also the entry of Chrysler in the compact sport-utility segment which is forecasted to grow in the coming decades. Last year the annual compact SUV volume in the US reached 520,045 units which is a 34 percent increase from the 387,828 units in 2005. The compact SUV segment is expected to grow up to 814,000 units by 2016. If such will really push through then it’s going to be a great opportunity for the Jeep brand to increase its market share by luring new buyers with stylish, affordable, fuel-efficient, safe and highly capable SUV.

Genuine Jeep Accessories made by Mopar are available for installation and purchase at Chrysler, Dodge, and Jeep dealerships across United States. All Mopar accessories are included under DaimlerChrysler’s 3-year/36,000-mile New Vehicle Limited Warranty or Mopar’s 12 month/12,000-mile Limited Warranty or whichever is more at the customer’s benefits. These warranties are honored by Chrysler, Dodge, and Jeep dealerships.
