Conformity is usually looked down upon as a form of surrender, but when it's done for the right reasons, conformity can be an admirable move.
Chrysler Group, for one, knows when conformity can be a good thing for its cars, its drivers and the wider world. The automaker is introducing diesel-powered and hybrid vehicles in the United States in order to adhere to strict Corporate Average Fuel Economy (CAFE) regulations.
Anticipating the release of a diesel Jeep, Skokie drivers can be on the lookout for the vehicle in 2013. In fact, by the following year, Chrysler reports that 14 percent of its global sales will be made up of diesel vehicles.
But this isn't the first time that Jeep has entered diesel vehicles into the U.S. market. In 2005 and 2006, the Liberty model came with a 2.8-liter, turbo-diesel engine that was capable of 160 horsepower and 295 lb-ft. of torque. Shortly afterward, the 2007 and 2008 Jeep Grand Cherokee CRD carried a 3.0-liter, turbo diesel Mercedes-built V-6 engine that was capable of 215 horsepower and 376 lb-ft. of torque.
While not all drivers looking for a Northfield used Jeep Cherokee may come across a diesel vehicle, that doesn't mean all fuel economy has been sacrificed. Visit your local dealer, Fields Chrysler Jeep Dodge, to find out how a used Cherokee will fit in with your car needs.
Chrysler
drivers will soon have hybrid technology options as well as diesel ones,
starting with the Chrysler 300 hybrid, which will go into production in 2013.
The vehicle will feature ZF-sourced eight-speed automatic transmission.
Another option Chrysler may be exploring for CAFE adherence is using compressed natural gas as a fuel source. While they can certainly be expecting a new kind of Jeep, Skokie drivers know that the most reliable aspects of the vehicle will never change. That's why Northfield used Jeep Cherokee drivers are just as happy with their vehicles as soon-to-be diesel drivers.
Chrysler knows when something's right, and Chrysler drivers know it too. It's not about conformity when it comes to loving your Chrysler, Jeep or Dodge - it's about certainty. Trust me.
