Posted on November 7, 2013 by baysideadmin

Chrysler came into SEMA with a slew of new variations of their vehicles to show off and they leave with plenty of awards and recognition.

The Jeep Wrangler left SEMA being dubbed the “Hottest 4×4-SUV” for the fourth consecutive year. The SEMA Award look to recognize the coolest and most adaptable platforms present at the show. It’s no question that the Wrangler is one that they’ve taken a fond liking to over the years considering how many times they’ve given the award to the popular jeep.

“Consumers are increasingly interested in customizing vehicles, so havng an accessory-friendly platform is important, “said SEMA President and CEO Chris Kersting about the Wrangler’s award. “The Jeep Wrangler has consistently ranked Number One as the Hottest 4×4 SUV since the inception of the SEMA Award, a clear reflection of its versatility.”

“It’s amazing to have the Jeep Wrangler recognized for a fourth straight year by SEMA with this award,” Pietro Gorlier, President and CEO of Mopar, said. The Wrangler is our most accessorized vehicle and to see it consistently winning accolades is a demonstration of the quality of the vehicle and the work that Mopar has put in to develop accessoris and quality Jeep Performance Parts. Enthusiats will be happy to know e have just added new offerings to our more than 300 performance parts and accessories already available for this vehicle to provide even more options for customization.

The Jeep Wrangler is one of the most popular and recognized vehicles in the world. This year brings with it new improvements such as coming equipped with the Uconnect 6.5-inch touchscreen and SiriusXM Radio. The Wrangler also comes equipped with the award winning 3.6-liter V-6 engine.

Plant Prepares for Full 2014 Jeep Cheorkee Production

Posted on July 24, 2013 by baysideadmin

It’s been a long time coming, but the new Jeep Cherokee is almost upon us. Ever since it was teased with a new look that’s been divisive amongst fans, the new Cherokee has been building up popularity thanks to those wanting something new and others who are more impressed by what its capable of rather than a striking new look. Expectations are high and Jeep plans to make sure on delivering. That’s why it will be increasing production at the plant responsible for getting the Cherokee out to would-be buyers.

The Toledo plant in Ohio will be producing the 2014 Cherokee at full volume for a single shift. However, they want to be at full capacity by September. That’s over 500 models over the course of a nine-hour shift. In order to maintain that incredible pace, a second shift will be added. Training has already begun to get ready.

We’re expecting this vehicle to sell,” said Zachary Leroux, the plant’s manager. “I think that’s going to keep us busy for a long period of time.

Jeep is placing large bet on the new compact SUV set to replace the Jeep Liberty. With the hype going into it, I think it stands a chance at bringing in a new age of Jeep drivers.

For more information on the availability of the 2014 Jeep Cherokee when it’s released later this year, contact us at Bayside Chrysler Jeep Dodge.

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.
