Year 2007 will be a great year
for Jeep enthusiasts because 2 all-new cars will be launched by the automaker
to satisfy the cravings for fuel economy, design, performance and price of the
aficionados.
Said compact 4x4s are Jeep
Patriot and Jeep Compass Rallye, which come in competitive features, packages
and prices. This will be the first time that Jeep will be offering fuel economy
figures which are in excess of 43 mpg.
Jeep is famed for its
high-performance vehicles which were especially used to transport troops during
the World War II. In this present time, Jeep has maintained its manufacture of
high-performance vehicles. Nevertheless, the automaker will be reaching out to
the youth market which was not previously considered.
Peter Lambert, Managing
Director of Chrysler Group
Patriot and Compass Rallye are
based on the Dodge Caliber hatchback platform. Both vehicles will also feature
first-rate parts
Jeepwhich include tough body, wheels and more. Jeep will also offer a
2.4-litre petrol and a VW-sourced 2.0-litre diesel engine.
“The vast majority of our vehicles sold in the
last few years have been diesel powered and it is vital for the success of
these new Jeeps that we have a small diesel engine that is competitive in the
family hatchback segment. The 2.0-litre diesel will enable Jeep drivers to
achieve a combined fuel cycle figure of 43.5mpg for the first time,” Lambert
further noted.
