The 2014 Jeep Cherokee will shift like a dream
9-Speed Jeep Cherokee Transmission
It’s always a positive to see a company invest in processes here in the United States. That’s why we were so happy to see that Chrysler made a further commitment to its Toledo Machining Plant recently. And even more good news – the commitment means better fuel efficiency for new cars in Racine.
We say this because the Toledo Machining Plant received a large investment to help increase capacity on the torque converter for the new 9-speed Jeep Cherokee transmission. While the new transmission will be used on other Chrysler group vehicles, it will first appear on the new 2014 Jeep Cherokee – a completely restyled vehicle in the Jeep lineup. The effort on the new 9-speed Jeep Cherokee transmission is being made partially to get Chrysler group vehicles ready for the impending stricter fuel economy standards. And in the process, everybody wins.
The new Jeep Cherokee will shift with ease.
Since we’re speaking of the new 9-speed Jeep Cherokee transmission, we might as well give you some info on what the new 2014 Cherokee will be all about. Of course, the first thing consumers see that is difficult to not notice is the design. The new Cherokee will feature a sleek front end with smaller headlights and a newly accented grille. While it keeps the trademark Jeep look overall, it definitely has more than a hint of new-age to it.
And as for the powertrain, that new 9-speed Jeep Cherokee transmission will help it top out at 31 MPG highway fuel economy. The Cherokee will be capable as well, with output numbers of 271 horsepower and 239 pound-feet of torque.
The technology and interior luxury of the new Cherokee will make it a next-level vehicle as well. Basically, it is a sure bet standout in the Jeep lineup, and a great addition to our Racine Jeep lineup. Get more info by contacting Palmen of Racine today.
