you don't drive it, you live it
Again and again we participated in another special test-drive experience, and this time was the brand icon of 4x4.
Jeep hosted an international ride and drive event in Sicily, Italy and we were there off-roading on the rocky dirt roads of an angry Mount Etna, Europe's most active volcano.
After a blooming relationship between Chrysler and Fiat, the Renegade is the first Jeep built on Italian soil. And the levels of luxury, quality and refinement offered by Jeep products have improved too. The Renegade was the main purpose of this event in Sicily showing its capability and specially during off-road, and since the Jeep Experience Days title was, You don't drive it, you live it, we test all the Jeep lineup (Renegade, Cherokee, Grand Cherokee and Wrangler) to discover this routing, starting from the Donnafugata Golf Resort & Spa to the most violent eruption of Etna Volcano in recent times, passing all kind of surface such as mud, rock and water.
