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?

2014 Jeep Cherokee: New Looks, Better Performance

Posted on August 24, 2013 by baysideadmin

One of the hottest topics of discussion for the 2014 Jeep Cherokee has been the look of it. Jeep took a massive step away from the normal look and it upsets some fans. After having time to dwell on and take in the new look, Jeep fans then wondered if changing the look would have any impact on performance, the hallmark of why people drive Jeep in the first place. According to one review, a redesign doesn’t mean that the focus on high-performance has been lost.

News Day published the saga of one reviewer’s trip to Utah to give the 2014 Jeep Cherokee a thorough drive through rugged terrain. In fact, the trail he was able to take the new Jeep on was in Moab, Utah, which is renowned for having the best kind of terrain to really test out the capabilities of a Jeep.

This was the aspect that surprised the writer, David Thomas, the most. That a vehicle like the 2014 Jeep Cherokee that saw such a redesign was still able to handle itself so well.

The 2014 Jeep Cherokee will feature two engine options. Standard on the Cherokee is the 184-horsepower, 2.4-liter four cylinder. Also available will be the 271-hp, 3.2-liter V-6. While the standard engine offering will do the driver just fine, if they want real power and strength that Jeep is known for, then the only option is the V-6.

The overall impression with the 2014 Jeep Cherokee both on and off the road was very favored. Read the full reviews for yourself to see why the writer was so very impressed with the new Jeep, regardless of the new look.

Critics Pleased With New Jeep Cherokee Look

Posted on June 21, 2013 by baysideadmin

It’s time for the critics to start weighing in on the 2014 Jeep Cherokee. Last week, we unveiled the pricing and now it’s time to check in and see what the early thoughts are towards this interesting new Jeep with a whole new look.

Auto123.com posted up a very positive look at the 2014 Jeep Cherokee. They were very impressed by the increase in fuel economy improvements, the inclusion of new state-of-the-art technologies, and were fans of the new design.

The improved fuel economy comes courtesy of the 4-cylinder engine capable of 184 hp and 171 lb-ft of torque. There’s also a new 3.2-litre V6 that comes with the new 9-speed automatic transmission.

The 2014 Jeep Cherokee will come with three four-wheel-drive systems. Jeep Active Drive I, II, and Drive Lock. Drive 1 is fully automatic one-speed PTU (power transfer unit. Drive II has two-speed PTU and low range. Active Drive Lock has two-speed PTU, low range, and locking rear differential.

The exterior has been the talk of the 2014 Cherokee since it’s first look. Jeep knew they were taking a chance with innovation when they gave the first glimpse and I think it was a wise decision. Let the hardest sell get out of the way so people can understand the bold new approach that Jeep is taking. So far, while fans have still been divided, it’s looking like critics are warming up. It’s sleek, it’s new, and it’s impressive.
