Once you've established yourself as the most patriotic brand in America, there's a certain responsibility that comes along with it. After all, we Americans know what we like and the brass at Jeep have always been there to provide it. Well now that we're all jumping on this eco-friendly bandwagon, they'll soon be adding their greenest model yet to our lineup here at Lithia Chrysler Jeep of Reno.
Now, if you have yet to feast your eyes upon the 2014 Jeep Cherokee, you are missing out on the future today. On the outside, you've got a noticeably redesigned styling that adds a healthy dose of curb appeal to what was already an attention-grabbing SUV. The added bonus to the overhaul is that next year's model will be more aerodynamic than ever before.
Look under the hood and you'll find a 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine in the front-wheel drive model. Not only is that a smaller engine than what the Cherokee is used to housing, but with a fuel economy of 31 mpg on the highway, it's the most fuel-efficient vehicle that Jeep has ever produced in the US.
Moreover, the new Cherokee will come standard with an inline four-cylinder engine with the option of both a new 3.2-liter V6 and new nine-speed automatic transmission. As for the V6's fuel economy, you're looking at 28 mpg on the highway when in front-wheel drive and 27 mpg on the highway in four-wheel drive.
Needless to say, we're pretty darn excited for it to roll into our dealership later this month. Until then, feel free to learn more about all it will have to offer from the experts in our car parts department here in Reno, NV. Trust us: going green has never been more appealing.
