The 2007 Jeep Grand Cherokee with a 3.0-litre common rail turbo diesel (CRD) engine will arrive at Canadian dealerships in the first quarter of 2007. "DaimlerChrysler is a leader in automotive diesel applications in Europe, and it makes sense to continue to build on that experience by offering a modern, clean diesel for the U.S. and Canadian markets," said Craig Love, Vice President -- RearWheel-Drive Product Team, Chrysler Group. "The Jeep Grand Cherokee diesel will offer consumers increased fuel economy, class-leading torque, towing and driving range." The new 3.0-litre CRD engine, built by Mercedes-Benz, produces 215 hp (160 kW) @ 3800 rpm and 376 lb.-ft. torque (510 Nïm) @ 1600-2800 rpm and gets an estimated fuel consumption of 12.4L/9.4L/100km (city/hwy). The 2007 Jeep Grand Cherokee CRD will boast class-leading torque, outstanding towing capacity (3356 kilograms), and class-leading driving range of approximately 675 kilometres. And, clean diesel technology improves fuel economy by up to 30 percent and has up to 20 percent fewer carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions. The 3.0-liter CRD engine will be available on the Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo, Limited and Overland models. "The 3.0-liter CRD is an efficient, smooth-running, clean engine that delivers fuel economy and performance," said Bob Lee, Vice President of Power Train Product Team, Chrysler Group. "Advanced diesel technology has improved over the last several years; engines are quieter and cleaner due to electronic controls, higher fuel pressures and advanced after-treatment systems." Chrysler Group was the first automotive manufacturer in the United States and Canada to offer a mid-size, diesel-powered SUV, the 2005 Jeep Liberty with a 2.8-liter CRD engine. Based on consumer response, the diesel-powered Jeep Liberty exceeded the company's expectations. More than 11,000 diesel-powered Jeep Liberty vehicles have been sold since production began. The Jeep Liberty diesel continues to be a strong seller, as consumers realize the benefits of diesel technology. The Jeep brand also announced earlier in the year that the 2007 Jeep Grand Cherokee would have a flex-fuel capable 4.7-litre SOHC V-8 engine, which gives customers the ability to use a fuel with an 85 percent concentration of ethanol (E-85) in their vehicles. Flex-fuel vehicles support renewable sources of fuel and reduce emissions. The 2007 Jeep Grand Cherokee continues Chrysler Group's commitment to alternative fuels and technology. More than 60 percent of Chrysler Group vehicles sold in Western Europe are diesel-powered. Between 2003 and 2007, Chrysler Group will triple the number of diesel offerings outside North America. Of the estimated 20 vehicles available, 12 or more will have the option for a diesel powertrain (up from four in 2003). The Jeep Grand Cherokee CRD will be manufactured at the Jefferson North Assembly Plant in Detroit. The 3.0-litre CRD engine is built at the Mercedes-Benz Berlin Marienfelde Plant in Berlin, Germany. Pricing will be announced closer to availability.
