Should you consider the Jeep Grand Cherokee EcoDiesel engine?

Diesel Jeep Grand Cherokee Milwaukee

If you’re thinking maybe diesel is the way to go, you’ve got an increasing number of options these days, and they’re not all pickup trucks! One example that we’re keen to point out is the 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee, which has an available 3.0L EcoDiesel V6 engine as part of the engine lineup. Today, we’ll tell you more about what this option can do for you and why you may want to consider it for your next vehicle. 

Best-in-class fuel economy. This is probably among your top reasons for considering the diesel engine, and it’s certainly a good one. With the 3.0L EcoDiesel, you’re looking at up to 30 hwy mpg and – get this – a range of up to 730 miles on a single tank. That’s right around twice the range of an average SUV. If trips to the pump aren’t exactly your favorite part of driving, the 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee might just be your new hero.

Performance and towing. If part of why you’re thinking about a Jeep is that you’d like to get out and do more with more capability (and we suspect that it is since that’s what Jeep is all about), this new EcoDiesel option is right up your alley, offering 240 horsepower and an incredible 420 pound-feet of torque. That, paired with the eight-speed automatic transmission, translates into you having the ability to tow up to 7,400 pounds behind your Grand Cherokee.

Cleaner technology. Wherever this sort of thing falls on your priority list, it’s hard to really complain about low CO2 emissions, which is just what you get with the EcoDiesel’s clean-diesel technology.
