Why do we buy Jeeps, and once we own them, why do we love them? Every driver has his or her own different reasons (and probably quite a few of them!), but one of the signature features of a Jeep is its rugged approach to driving, no matter the terrain and no matter the cargo.
This strength of the brand harkens back to the vehicle's namesake: the U.S. Army's WWII General Purpose autos. Fortunately, Jeep has retained both the purpose and performance of this beloved model, and when it comes to the 2012 Jeep Grand Cherokee, there is even more to love.
This sport-utility vehicle is celebrating its 20th birthday this year, and if you're looking to switch out your used Jeep Cherokee at a Northfield dealer, you'll have plenty to celebrate, too, when you give it a test drive. Bolstered by improvements to its exterior design and engine performance (now a 3.6-liter V6 diesel with the newest Fiat Multijet fuel injection), the 2012 Grand Cherokee is now produced exclusively in Chrysler's Jefferson North plant in Detroit.
In production, Jeep engineers focused on developing a car with classic Jeep vigor plus an all-new level of comfort all at an affordable price. Other notable features include standard height-adjustable air springs and independent, multi-link, rear suspension. Permanent four-wheel drive with active torque distribution and automatic five-speed transmission combined with decreased carbon dioxide emissions and fuel consumption make this a smart buy for drivers who are looking for more power from a less wasteful vehicle.
If you're shopping for a smooth, comfortable ride in a strong, capable body, then look no further than Fields Chrysler Jeep Dodge, where we would be happy to arrange a test drive of the 2012 Jeep Grand Cherokee!
