Jeep Vacationeer Concept unveiled at Holly OaksORV Park
Detroit 4Fest recently featured a concept at the event that may have redefined the concept of inequality between adventure and refinement. The car in question is the Jeep Vacationeer Concept, which was unveiled at Holly Oaks ORV Park in Holly, Michigan. This new car caught the attention of all off-road adventure enthusiasts, with a design that blends classic Jeep styling with contemporary elegance and aggressive and wild look.
The Detroit 4Fest
For those who may not be aware of the event, the Detroit 4Fest is a celebration that is completely dedicated to off-road enthusiasts, even more so to everyone who owns a Jeep vehicle and other vehicles that are 4x4s. It takes place in Detroit, Michigan, and is a great experience for those who particularly enjoy off-roading.
In fact, during the event, there are a wide selection of trails, both for beginners and for the more experienced, where you can test the capabilities of your vehicle. An opportunity also exists to try out the latest models of the Jeep brand on both delineated and more extreme trails. In addition, there are also many workshops and courses led by industry experts, during which you can learn important off-road driving skills. And finally, there are also various exhibition areas, where companies display their products, both spare parts and accessories, and food trucks with live music.
The new Jeep Vacationeer is inspired by the Legend Wsagoneer and Grand Wagoneer models
The new Vacationeer Concept is inspired by models that have literally entered legend such as the Wagoneer and Grand Wagoneer. The wooden-made side graphics are certainly reminiscent of the road trip era, in contrast the new Spearmint Ed livery brings a fresh and adventurous look to the car. The underbody equipment is ready for performing at its best in any situation, with a heavily reinforced chassis, underbody protection, and a Warn winch providing off-road capability that is hard to match.
This new vehicle is equipped with a powerful 3.0-liter twin-turbocharged Hurricane H/O I-6 engine that can deliver up to 510 horsepower and 500 lb-ft of torque. An optical combination that is capable of providing the driver with truly outstanding performance whether driving on completely normal roads or off-road. What was perhaps most astonishing is precisely that they managed to bring together the off-road spirit that characterizes Jeep vehicles with great comfort and high-end design, a combination that is not easy to achieve nowadays. Consequently, this Jeep concept is disproportionately fueling the imagination of all fans of this kind of vehicle, who now only wish to see a production model inspired by this car on the market.
Interior created by Kiel James Patrick designer
The interior was created in collaboration with designer Kiel James Patrick, who was able to blend contrasting aspects such as ruggedness and refinement into one. the seats were made of Tupelo leather, with fabric inserts inspired by Jeep’s great classics. The best part of the car, or perhaps the most exciting part, could certainly be the RedTail Overland Skyloft. This is a carbon fiber sunroof that literally transforms into a panoramic sleeping area, all attached to the roof of the car. This air-conditioned sleeping area can easily accommodate as many as two people, providing breathtaking views.
The Skyloft can be accessed from inside the vehicle through the installation of a pass-through door that was specially created to be weatherproof. This is something that adds great convenience and comfort for those who would like to enjoy overnight camping-style trips as well. In addition, the Vacationeer has also been equipped with high-intensity LED lights, which are particularly useful for nighttime explorations.
