Jeep Loses Compass and Patriot

Posted on May 13, 2014 by baysideadmin

Jeep is getting some major changes moving forward. Chrysler is putting forward a five-year plan that is meant to trim the fat and put their best foot forward to make their brand one of the top ones across the globe. Sadly, that means some tough choices will be made. Jeep will be losing some members of the family as a part of the plan.

The Jeep Compass and Patriot will be discontinued come 2016. The reasoning behind this move is that both Jeeps are compact SUVs and instead of putting the resources into two similar vehicles to put all that into a single compact SUV.

The plan did not reveal what the name of this replacement Jeep is going to be. The plant and production of where both Jeeps are being produced will have their resources shifted to making an all-new Chrysler 100. In the meantime, there is speculation of what the new Jeep could be without any real concrete evidence pointing to any name or build. One thing that is know will be the new Jeep will be using the CUSW (Compact US Wide) platform the company has already used for the 2013 Dodge Dart.

Posted on April 20, 2014 by baysideadmin

Ward’s Auto announced their 10 Best Interiors for 2014, and the 2014 Jeep Cherokee Limited made the cut.

Two vehicles from the Chrysler Group family made the list, the 2014 Jeep Cherokee Limited and the 2015 Chrysler 200C. They are among such distinguished company as the 2014 Rolls-Royce Wraith, which costs $372,800, and the 2014 Mercedes-Benz S550, which costs $122,895. In comparison, the 2014 Jeep Cherokee Limited is a fraction of the price at $37,525, and the 2015 Chrysler 200C is also considerably more affordable at $31,470.

41 vehicles were in consideration for the honor, and editors at Ward’s Auto narrowed it down to the final list with a scoring system, judging materials, value, comfort, and other important factors. In the announcement, Ward’s Auto praised the Jeep Cherokee Limited as a vehicle that “manages to feel right at home both on city streets and deep in the backwoods.” As for the Chrysler 200C, Ward’s Auto calls it the “best segment offering in decades” and “extremely spacious.”

The 2014 Jeep Cherokee Limited and 2015 Chrysler 200C will be honored along with the rest of the winners at a special ceremony on May 21 at the WardsAuto Interiors Conference.
