Jeep Grand Cherokee Named Green SUV of the Year

There’s no denying the popularity and importance of making vehicles that are environmentally friendly. This is a much easier feat when talking about making compact cars, but to make an SUV that fits the bill is a completely different animal. Jeep has impressed us for decades, but read here to find out why the environmentally friendly 2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee was voted Green SUV of the Year.

The 2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee EcoDiesel was named the Green SUV of 2015 by Green Car Journal. The Grand Cherokee is the most awarded SUV ever and the 2015 Ecodiesel is an excellent addition to the Jeep family. With an impressive fuel economy, comfort and performance, it’s no surprise that someone took notice!

Delivering 30 mpg on the highway, this full-size SUV is getting the same, if not better, gas milage than most of the compact SUVs available today. Producing a class-leading 240 horsepower and an exciting 240 lb per ft of torque, the EcoDiesel V-6 engine delivers both power and low CO2 emissions.

Matched with an efficient eight-speed automatic transmission, the 3.0 Liter EcoDiesel engine is able to achieve excellent acceleration rates and smooth shifting. With ride quality equal to most luxury vehicles, the ability to handle a tough environment and heavy towing (up to 7,400 lbs!) is icing on the already fantastic looking cake. Keeping with the traditional look of the Jeep Grand Cherokee that we have grown to love, this 2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee with and EcoDiesel engine is sure to become a new favorite.

Jeep has over 70 years of history that continues on into the future as newer and more incredible cars are added to the legacy each year.
