2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee: The Best SUV?

Posted on December 15, 2014 by baysideadmin

Do you think the 2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee is the best SUV? John Mar Lumbayan of RealtyToday seems to think so. His look at the Grand Cherokee is glowing with praise and he sure makes a valid argument for why if you didn’t think it was the best SUV, then maybe you should reconsider.

The Grand Cherokee is already highly regarded as one of the finer SUV’s on the market. With the additions of the new technology and better gas mileage, it gets even better.

One of the more controversial points is Jeep’s move away from a traditional look for their new Jeeps. The Grand Cherokee takes its visual cues from the new Jeep Cherokee. While it is certainly different, that doesn’t make it any less gorgeous. The new look is sleek and defined and provides better aerodynamics for the Grand Cherokee.

The Grand Cherokee also has a V8 HEMI engine. With the addition of an eight-speed automatic transmission, the Grand Cherokee has more power along with better fuel economy.

Still not convinced? He ends the piece with, “It can drive like a car and truck but excels both in paved surfaces. There is nothing like it in the world today. The Grand Cherokee shines from the rest of the mainstream and swank brands.”

Have you changed your mind on if the 2015 Grand Cherokee is the best SUV?

2018 Jeep Wrangler Getting 8-Speed Auto Transmission

Posted on November 24, 2014 by baysideadmin

It might be a long ways away, but Jeep is already planning on what will be in their next generation of Jeep Wrangler. Automotive News got their hands on a filing the automaker filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission to show that the 2018 Jeep Wrangler will be getting Chrysler’s eight-speed transmission.

2018 is currently when the planned redesign is slated for the Wrangler. The eight-speed transmission that will be used is already in Chrysler vehicles such as the Jeep Grand Cherokee and the 2014 Dodge Durango. The transmission provides much better fuel economy over the previous year.

According to the filing, “We plan to use this transmission in all of our rear-wheel-drive vehicles, except for heavy-duty versions of the Ram pick-up truck and the SRT Viper.”

Not much else is known about what to expect from the redesign of the Wrangler. At least we know thanks to Chrysler filings that it will be looking to improve fuel economy with a better automatic transmission.

The Jeep Renegade is Jeep’s attempt to market to a younger demographic. It is being seen as the entry level for many new drivers to the Jeep world. It seems to be picking up steam as Fiat Chrysler revealed that 200 orders have already been placed for the new Renegade amongst the 20,000 clients that paid a visit to dealers to look at the new Jeep. Chrysler also said that drivers will get a chance to start test driving them as early as this weekend.

As far as when to expect the Renegade in the US market for all to get, no official date yet. Jeep is saying that the Renegade will be fully available to in the first quarter of 2015. According to the Air Herald, it should be of February of 2015.
