New Spy Photos of the Jeep Grand Cherokee Trackhawk Show Engine

Posted on March 24, 2017 by baysideadmin

The Jeep Grand Cherokee Trackhawk is highly anticipated. Who wouldn’t be wanting to see what the result if when you combine the Hellcat engine and one of the most popular Jeeps. For many, it’s just wanting to see if it can be done or if the engine would have to be reduced. New spy photos have been released that look at the engine and it’s looking like keeping the 707 horsepower that the Hellcat engine famously provides will be feasible in a Grand Cherokee.

Autoblog breaks down the first look at the engine per these spy photos. It’s the first time the engine has been seen and it certainly looks like it’s ready for power.

“As you can clearly see in the slightly noisy engine shot, that’s a supercharger parked on top of FCA’s 6.2-liter V8, just like in the Charger and Challenger Hell-twins.”

As for the rest of the Trackhawk that was spotted, the cosmetic difference between this one and the previous spy photos is minimal. All-in-all, it is looking like Jeep fans will soon be talking about getting 707 horsepower out of their Jeep Grand Cherokee. What an exciting time!

Jeep Wins Big in Total Quality Impact!

Posted on June 17, 2016 by baysideadmin

The Strategic Vision has put out their 22^nd Annual Total Quality Impact and four vehicles from the FCA family make the list concerning their quality.

Strategic Vision is a researched-based consultancy that has over 35 years of looking at consumers’ and their buying habits. Their Total Quality Impact (TQI) is based on the responses from more than 39,000 viewers that have a new 2016 model year vehicle. They are asked about 155 different aspects of their experience with the vehicle and that list is then compiled to get a big picture image of the vehicle’s quality.

So what were the winners? In the least surprising, two Jeep vehicles top their segments. The Jeep Wrangler Unlimited won the ‘Entry SUV’ and the Jeep Grand Cherokee won for ‘Mid-Size SUV.’ The other two were the Fiat 500 for ‘Micro Car’ and the Dodge Challenger for the ‘Specialty Coupe.’

“We see time and again that for consumers, innovation does more to communicate quality than an absence of problems does,” said Christopher Chaney, the Senior VP at Strategic Vision. “Whether it comes in the form of breakthrough technology, re-engineering a vehicle or creating a new model, consumers feel the positive impact of bold new directions taken by manufacturers.”

Jeep Sets June Sales Record: More Popular Than Ever!

Posted on July 6, 2015 by baysideadmin

One of the most remarkable success stories in the auto industry of late is the rise of the Jeep. Back when Chrysler was facing bankruptcy and its future was uncertain, nothing seemed further from thought than the idea that they’d be able to turn it around in the upcoming years. Since recovering, the success story of Chrysler is a fascinating one, and one of the main reasons for that bounce-back is due to a new found fever for Jeeps.

CheatSheet.com examined this new wave of love for Jeep. June was an amazing month for the Jeep brand. It had the best June sales ever. Many Jeep vehicles had record-setting months including the new Jeep Cherokee and the ever-popular Jeep Wrangler. Even the newest member of the family, the Jeep Renegade, had an increase of 10% from May.

This is an incredible feat considering that Jeep, back when the company was going under, was struggling with American sales. Now, it’s not just selling here in the States, but has caught on overseas. Jeep recently invested in a new plant for production in India, showing that Jeep is one of the bigger international favorites.

The future seems even brighter. The Dodge Charger and Challenger SRT Hellcat experienced a higher than expected sales demand and Jeep is looking to capitalize on the popularity of the Hellcat name. A Grand Cherokee Trackhawk Hellcat is expected next year. This new SUV has potential to put some change into the market and have competitors scared.

What is it you’d like to see from Jeep in the coming years? What do you think they need to do to keep the momentum going?
