Jeep Shows Cherokee Trail Carver at SEMA 2013

Posted on November 19, 2013 by baysideadmin

SEMA is always one of the biggest times of the year for automakers, Jeep chief among them. They take great pride in displaying the coolest new additions to their family. This year’s show was no exception.

While the Wrangler was the Jeep being honored by the show, it was the Cherokee that got the Mopar boost. This new custom Jeep is called the Jeep Cherokee Trail Carver.

It’s impossible to bring up the new Jeep Cherokee and not also have to bring up controversy. Much has already been said in defense and against the new look that the Cherokee brings with it. One thing is for certain, though, and that is Jeeps determination to show their fans, both old and new, that a new look doesn’t take away from the same power and reliability that made Jeep as popular as it is today. That’s the mission the Cherokee Trail Carver sets out to do, to remind people of the versatility that comes with owning a Jeep.

The Cherokee Trail Carver comes with a powerful 3.2-liter V6 engine to help it conquer any terrain. This is match by the out look as the Trail Carver is covered in an Auburn Pearl paint job to make it look right at home in the outdoors.

Mopar has done much to infuse their charm and power into the Cherokee Trail Carver.

Posted on November 7, 2013 by baysideadmin

Chrysler came into SEMA with a slew of new variations of their vehicles to show off and they leave with plenty of awards and recognition.

The Jeep Wrangler left SEMA being dubbed the “Hottest 4×4-SUV” for the fourth consecutive year. The SEMA Award look to recognize the coolest and most adaptable platforms present at the show. It’s no question that the Wrangler is one that they’ve taken a fond liking to over the years considering how many times they’ve given the award to the popular jeep.

“Consumers are increasingly interested in customizing vehicles, so havng an accessory-friendly platform is important, “said SEMA President and CEO Chris Kersting about the Wrangler’s award. “The Jeep Wrangler has consistently ranked Number One as the Hottest 4×4 SUV since the inception of the SEMA Award, a clear reflection of its versatility.”

“It’s amazing to have the Jeep Wrangler recognized for a fourth straight year by SEMA with this award,” Pietro Gorlier, President and CEO of Mopar, said. The Wrangler is our most accessorized vehicle and to see it consistently winning accolades is a demonstration of the quality of the vehicle and the work that Mopar has put in to develop accessoris and quality Jeep Performance Parts. Enthusiats will be happy to know e have just added new offerings to our more than 300 performance parts and accessories already available for this vehicle to provide even more options for customization.

The Jeep Wrangler is one of the most popular and recognized vehicles in the world. This year brings with it new improvements such as coming equipped with the Uconnect 6.5-inch touchscreen and SiriusXM Radio. The Wrangler also comes equipped with the award winning 3.6-liter V-6 engine.

2014 Jeep Cherokee Can Park Itself

Posted on October 25, 2013 by baysideadmin

The 2014 Jeep Cherokee is finally heading into dealerships. Time to get excited!

Okay, if that wasn’t enough, if the new look and the capable specs weren’t reason enough for the excitement, then how about the fact that the 2014 Jeep Cherokee can park itself. Yes, that is the world we are moving towards, where cars will park themselves.

While not the first car to have this technology, the Jeep Cherokee is upping the proverbial ante by including perpendicular and, a must for any New Yorker, parallel.

The Fast Lane Car took the new Jeep Cherokee out to test this feature out. It’s an interesting watch, especially considering the discomfort of the driver. I would be freaking out too. A car is an intimidating thing and having a lack of control while it maneuvers into position is odd in a time when drivers are taught to never take their hands off the wheel. To work, it requires trust in the technology, something that is new and not widely used.

It took sometime, but the Cherokee did park itself. While the noted time seems lengthy, I would chalk that up to inexperience. If she had more time and the chance to use it more often, I’d bet that the time it takes to self park would be greatly diminished. Anyway, watch the video to see the Cherokee park itself.
