2008 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Sahara – Road Test

Published by

The last time I drove a Jeep Wrangler was many years ago – back when they were called either a TJ or a YJ. They were bouncy and a little primitive to say the least. Other adjectives you could use to describe them could have been: noisy, uncomfortable and did I say primitive? They were also as fast as a 3-legged greyhound wearing army boots. There were no cup holders in the Wranglers back then, and that was something that probably led to the creation of them. Driving on the smoothest of roads with a hot cuppa Joe in one hand and the steering wheel in the other, along with the jostling and bouncing of the Jeep, lead many to the emergency room of the local hospital with burned nether-regions – myself included (not really, but it was pretty close). Nevertheless, I still liked the little Jeep and understood why so many people buy them – even the ones that don’t ever take it off city streets and pavement. So why would I want to …

2007 Jeep Grand Cherokee Overland Diesel – Road Test

Published by

Back in April of this year I had a very brief drive in the Jeep Grand Cherokee diesel for half an hour or so. I came away thoroughly impressed by its performance and by how quiet it was. I couldn’t wait to see how it would be in everyday driving over the course of a week. As a brief re-cap, the 2007 Jeep Grand Cherokee is Chrysler Group’s first diesel-powered, full-size SUV ever to be offered in North America. Previously only available in European markets, the Jeep Grand Cherokee Diesel delivers a combination of performance and fuel economy. Thanks to Chrysler’s partnership with Daimler, they are able to source the extremely popular Mercedes-Benz V-6 diesel engine as it is offered in Europe. This new clean diesel engine will provide Jeep owners with an increase in low-end torque, an average of 30% better fuel efficiency and a 20% reduction in carbon dioxide (Co2) emissions when compared to an equivalent gasoline engine. Under loads such as towing, diesel engines can provide improvements in fuel economy of up …

2007 Jeep Grand Cherokee Diesel – SPECIAL REPORT

Published by

Last week I had the privilege of being included in a select group of automotive journalists who were invited to test drive the new Jeep Grand Cherokee Diesel – Chrysler Group’s first diesel-powered, full-size SUV ever to be offered in Canada.  Previously only available in European markets, the Jeep Grand Cherokee Diesel delivers a combination of performance and fuel economy that is well-suited to the demands of Canadian SUV buyers. At the moment there are no plans to sell the Jeep Grand Cherokee Diesel in the U.S. In case you haven’t noticed, the Chrysler group is the only major manufacturer that doesn’t currently offer a hybrid vehicle to the general public. While that situation is going to change in the very near future with the launch of the Dodge Durango hybrid, the Chrysler Group is also being considerate to the environment as they expand their line up of cleaner diesel vehicles.
