An Extreme Collaboration Built for Adventure

Jeep® South Africa has partnered with Dragon Energy and Jeep Apparel to launch the Xtreme Adventure Competition, a nationwide campaign running from 11 February to 30 June 2026. The collaboration unites three brands rooted in resilience, performance and a shared “push beyond limits” mindset.

The campaign invites South Africans with a passion for adrenaline to step into a world of grit, capability and real-world adventure — with the opportunity to experience the Jeep Gladiator as part of the prize.

What the Competition Offers

The Xtreme Adventure Competition gives participants the chance to win high-adrenaline experiences across South Africa. Prizes include:

  • A bungee jump at the iconic Soweto Towers
  • A guided 4×4 adventure trail
  • The Ultimate Xtreme Getaway featuring the world-renowned Bloukrans Bridge bungee

Jeep vehicles form part of every prize experience. Depending on the tier, winners will enjoy either day-use of the Jeep Gladiator or an extended four-to-five-day adventure as part of the grand prize.

Driving the Brand Experience

At the heart of the campaign is the Jeep Gladiator — positioned as a symbol of strength, endurance and authentic off-road capability. The competition aims to move beyond brand visibility, allowing winners to actively experience the vehicle in real adventure settings.

According to Janus Janse van Rensburg from Jeep South Africa, the partnership reflects the brand’s focus on lifestyle and experiential engagement. “The Jeep brand is all about lifestyle, experiences and making adventures a reality. Where their roads end, our adventures start. The Xtreme Adventure collaboration is a perfect fit, as the brands are rooted in adventure, challenging the status quo and daring to push beyond limits.”

He adds that the campaign brings the spirit of Jeep directly to South Africans by allowing winners to live the experience rather than simply observe it.

A Natural Brand Alignment

From Dragon Energy’s perspective, the collaboration reinforces shared values of extreme performance and trusted capability. Steven Fernandes, Head of Marketing at Kingsley Beverages, notes that aligning with Jeep South Africa creates an authentic connection built around adventure and high performance.

The campaign also includes collaboration with Insta360 and LW Mag to amplify the excitement and energy throughout the competition period.

Beyond the Vehicle: A Lifestyle Statement

The partnership extends into apparel, reinforcing Jeep as more than a vehicle brand. Jonathan Bradbury, Marketing Manager at Jeep Apparel, explains that the collaboration speaks to a mindset embraced daily by consumers.

The Jeep ethos — resilience, courage and pushing beyond limits — aligns naturally with Dragon Energy’s “show your GRIT” attitude. While the vehicle division showcases capability through the Gladiator, Jeep Apparel supports that same spirit in everyday life, reinforcing the brand’s broader lifestyle positioning.

How to Enter

The competition runs from 11 February to 30 June 2026, with winners announced between March and June 2026.

To enter, consumers must purchase specially marked Dragon Energy cans featuring the Jeep Gladiator. Entry takes place via Instagram and is linked directly to these promotional cans.
