Jeep Grand Cherokee EcoDiesel Awarded “Luxury Off-Road”

The Active Lifestyle Vehicle of the Year Awards competition for 2015 sponsored by Carspondent.com took place Saturday, October 18, 2014. The reviewers and evaluators were the most likely to judge such a competition: More than 100 automotive writers, reviewers, photographers, outdoorsmen and athletes from all over the country took to reviewing how well 2015 vehicles performed in eight award-winning categories: Urban, Best Value On-Road, Best Value Off-Road, Luxury On-Road, Luxury Off-Road, Best Value Family, Luxury Family and Green ALV. Competition Site: Local Motors, Chandler, Arizona. As a point of information, Local Motors is an automotive industry online and physical space where, among other things, collaboration, innovation, design-build, testing, R&D and competitive evaluations take place. Local Motors is an innovative incubator for both domestic and international engine-driven road machines and their performance.

The category of Luxury Off-Road (MSRP over $35,000) was taken by the Jeep Cherokee EcoDiesel. Off-road capability of this luxury RUV is truly unmatched. The V6 260 horsepower engine EcoDiesel is great for towing. The Grand Cherokee line boasts comparative towing of 7,400 pounds – the best. The EcoDiesel offers an extended 730-mile range that extends for highway travel. The EcoDiesel’s counterpart is the 3.6L Grand Cherokee Pentastar available in a 3.6L V6 290 horsepower engine with a 615-mile range and fuel efficiency technology. Both the EcoDiesel and Pentastar have 8-speed automatic transmissions.

The Jeep Grand Cherokee line also includes, by trim levels and price range, the Laredo, Grand Cherokee Limited, Overland and Summit. The Jeep Cherokee, year after year, is the most awarded SUV ever! This speaks to the engineering standards of Chrysler Corporation and an ingenious plan in 1987, when Chrysler purchased Jeep from American Motors Corporation. Who would have thought that a 1940s lightweight military vehicle built for all-terrain reconnaissance would evolve into a consumer automotive market leader built for its rugged endurance and top performance year after year?

Jeep endures audience recognition “because of the brand’s outdoor focus, versatile yet stylish interior designs and strong powertrains," said Nina Russin, auto journalist, professional distance runner and Active Lifestyle Vehicle of the Year Awards co-founder. Jeep’s long-established reputation of high performance and dependability also is evidenced in its leasing programs, both individual and commercial. Jeep drivers remain loyal Jeep drivers. This RUV is an all-terrain vehicle and a great compatible feature is its all-weather driving capability making it a most popular choice.

The Jeep Cherokee EcoDiesel is a testament to power and durability, the Green effort, luxury and economical driving range.
