Jeep Is Bringing the All-New Jeep Cherokee to China

Posted on April 22, 2013 by baysideadmin

The new Jeep Cherokee is not resting on its laurels after debuting at the New York Auto Show. It’s packing its bags and flying overseas to impress a growing global market. China is becoming a major player in SUV sales and Jeep is looking to really make their mark there.

It helps that China is already a big fan of Jeep’s product. The brand sales in 2012 were record setting. Jeep more than doubled the prior year’s results. The stand-out seller was the Jeep Compass.

Mike Manley, President and CEO of Jeep Brand, was speaking at the Shanghai Auto Show over the weekend and said that he believed the new Cherokee will have an easy time breaking into the Chinese market. “Jeep is our global brand and, since its inception, the all-new Jeep Cherokee was conceived and developed not only for our home market of the U.S. but also for world markets.”

The Cherokee is expected in Chinese showrooms near the end of 2013. It won’t be making the trip alone, however. The Jeep Grand Cherokee and the Jeep Wrangler Rubicon 10^th Anniversary Edition will also be having their Asian premieres. Jeeps that are made in China will not have an impact on the current production of them stateside.

It’s going to be interesting to see how China’s influence as such a large buying market affects not just Jeep, but the auto industry as a whole.

Jeep Shows Off 2014 Cherokee’s Off-Road Capabilities in New Video

Posted on March 19, 2013 by baysideadmin

The 2014 Jeep Cherokee has been held under a fine microscope even with barely any information released. All it took was a few sneak peeks and official pictures to get the entire auto world talking. Some loved the new look and others scoffed. In response, Jeep is making sure that people remember that the real beauty of their vehicles is not just the exterior, but it’s what’s underneath.

A new video put out by Jeep follows the new Cherokee as it tackles a rocky playground. The shot is POV and clearly shows that the Cherokee, while boasting a more car-like look, is not unable to take on rough terrain. The vehicle goes up a couple of steep inclines covered in both solid rock and loose sand.

At the beginning of the video, Jeep teases that the 2014 Cherokee will be offering the best-in-class capability. There’s no doubt after seeing it briefly in action that all-wheel drive will be a part of the package.

The 2014 Jeep Cherokee will get its full reveal at the 2013 New York Auto Show happening very soon. Many Jeep enthusiasts are looking forward to seeing just what this giant leap has in store.

Jeep ‘Chips Away’ With the 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee

Posted on March 15, 2013 by baysideadmin

Chrysler is a notorious company for the quality of its ads. They’ve put a fantastic and dramatic commercial together to promote the upcoming 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee.

The ad, titled, ‘Chip Away’ features the same type of uplifting speech material most of Chrysler’s commercials are made up of. This time around, the speech comes from Al Pacino’s character in Any Given Sunday. It’s always a good choice to go with a football movie if you’re looking for inspiration.

Pacino preaches of the importance of fighting for every inch in life. His words are put over a montage of different people all struggling to achieve. Combined with a dramatic orchestrated score swelling at the perfect emotional moments, it’s clear that the ad company still understand how to send a message of inspiration.

Once the speech is over, a voice-over from a narrator chimes in to note how Jeep is fighting for those inches and chipping away to construct the best possible Jeep. Take a look at the ad and you’ll see the trend of quality continue for one more time as well as seeing the 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee in action.
