The Jeep is an iconic American automotive brand renowned for its rugged, versatile, and off-road-capable vehicles. Originating in 1941, the first Jeep was developed as a military utility vehicle for use during World War II, known as the Willys MB. Its durability and performance in challenging conditions earned it the nickname "General Purpose" or "GP," later shortened to "Jeep." After the war, Jeep transitioned into civilian markets, introducing models like the CJ (Civilian Jeep) that became popular for both work and recreation. Today, Jeep is a part of Stellantis, producing a range of SUVs and off-road vehicles, including the Wrangler, Cherokee, and Grand Cherokee. Its heritage of adventure, freedom, and resilience continues to define the brand globally, making it a symbol of exploration and durability.
