Is Hybrid Engines the Future for Jeep?

Posted on May 16, 2017 by baysideadmin

One of the biggest successes of late for Chrysler is the new 2017 Chrysler Pacifica Hybrid. The new minivan has been winning awards and fans as news of its amazing stats get out. One of the most notable is how the hybrid powertrain gets it 84 miles per gallon equivalent in electric-only mode and 33 miles of all-electric range. The future of the auto industry is figuring out how to best approach the upcoming electric trend and with the Pacifica leading the way, Jeep maybe offering hybrid powertrains in all of their future vehicles.

FCAuthority is reporting that Jeep will be having hybrid powertrains available on the majority of their vehicles in the future. Sergio Marchionne was speaking with reporters in Toronto last Friday and told them that Jeep is at work on hybrid powertrains. These will “become visible in the next two to three years.”

The article goes on to reference that Marchionne had already said the Jeep Wrangler JL will have a hybrid version. The Jeep Grand Wagoneer will also have a hybrid powertrain. It certainly seems to be the way of the future. The green craze that is going around the auto industry is going to be replicated where it can and the Pacifica is a sign that FCA is committed to achieving this in most of their line-ups. While Dodge is pushing out the horsepower with their monster engines, it seems that Jeep will be seeing what having hybrid powertrains can help it do.

2018 Jeep Wrangler Spotted in Spy Photos

Posted on March 9, 2017 by baysideadmin

The new 2018 Jeep Wrangler has been spotted by spy photographers. The spy photos seem to indicate some interesting things about what to expect from the upcoming 2018 Wrangler.

The 2018 Wrangler that the photographers captured was a four-door. It looked like it was also testing out the rumored three-piece hardtop. This new roof option would allow for the removal of the front two or the entire roof. Basically a segmented roof removal system for the 2018 Wrangler.

The 2018 Jeep Wrangler is expected to bring a new age of tech and innovation to the nostalgic Jeep Wrangler. So far the photos seem to indicate that the traditional boxy look that the Wrangler has had will not be going away. For many, this will be seen as a positive as the Wrangler is the last bastion for the traditional Jeep design.
