Jeep Fans: What to Expect in 2013

Posted on by

Christmas is right around the corner and New Years right behind that. For Jeep fans, a new year beings with it a new outlook for the brand.

Motor Authority has the break down of what to expect from Jeep in 2013. First up will be the big reveal of the 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee. Plans for the unveiling are set for the Detroit Auto Show in January of 2013. Not much is known at this point other than a modern style change. There is a new 3.0 liter V-6 turbodiesel variant known as the “Eco-Diesel.” Estimates have it at 241 horsepower and 406 pound-feet of torque with 28 mpg fuel economy.

Next up will be the new Liberty Jeep has planned for May 2013. The auto maker wants to help the Liberty capture a whole new part of the driving community by designing it to be more comparable to the Honda CR-V and the Toyota RAV4. In order to accomplish that goal, the new jeep will be lighter and “better behaved on the road” while still having a next generation all-wheel-drive.

After that, at an unspecified date, Jeep will be bringing out a new kit for the Wrangler. What this is exactly is unknown at this point, but there is some rumors. Jeep is only saying that it’ll allow drivers to do something they’ve never been able to do before.

Also on the list for things to happen in Jeep over the course of the year will be replacing the Jeep Compass and the Jeep Patriot. Speculation has it that the platform responsible for this years new Dodge Dart will be used for the crossover.

There will be plenty more details and surprise as the year comes to be. Nice to know what to be excited from Jeep. Check out the current Jeep line-up online at Bayside Chrysler Jeep Dodge.

2013 Jeep Wrangler Takes Home Four Wheeler of the Year

Posted on by

The Jeep Wrangler has taken home numerous awards in the past including Cars.com’s Best New Car for Off-Roaders, SEMA Show’s Hottest 4×4, and Ward’s Top 4 Engine. Now for the third year in a row, the Jeep Wrangler has taken home Four Wheeler‘s Four Wheeler of the Year award.

The 2013 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Moab Edition was announced as the winner early last week, and before it was named winner, Four Wheeler put the Jeep Wrangler through its paces. They tested it out on an off-road trail, pavement, and on a ramp, and they noted, “The Moab traversed all of the sand we threw at it, and it threw plenty back.”

In addition to road performance, they also looked at the vehicles interior and were obviously impressed with the Wrangler’s additional driver comforts. One judge said, “The inside is getting almost too nice for a Wrangler,” but the judges were ultimately happy with the leather seats, audio system, and 6.5-inch touchscreen display since it never affected the vehicle’s off-road performance.

Jeep Wrangler Tops List for 3rd Year in a Row

Posted on by

If there is one thing that fans and critics can agree on, it’s the quality of the Jeep Wrangler.

As shown in the Sacramento Bee, the Wrangler is appearing for the third year in a row on Kelley Blue Book’s Best Resale Value in its class. It’s also the second year that the Jeep has been on the Top 10 list.

As Eric Ibara, director of residual consulting for Kelley Blue Book, notes about the third year win for the Jeep, “The iconic Wrangler leads the Jeep brand’s residual values. Not only does Jeep Wrangler command a significant amount as a used vehicle but it does so consistently year after year. Not surprisingly, Wrangler again finds itself on Kelley Blue Book’s Top 10 list.”

In case you’re wondering who has been awarding the honors on the Wrangler for years now, Kelley Blue Book’s KBB.com Best Resale Value awards are done by their staff of automotive analysts. They take a look at how well the vehicle can hold its price over five years of ownership.

Drivers know a good deal when they see one. That’s one way of seeing it with Wrangler seeing a spike in sales. Stop by Bayside Chrysler Jeep Dodge and take one for a test drive to see what all the hype is about. You can view the rest of the Jeep family online with our Showroom.
