As fall gears up, we know it's a busy time for everyone, from planning Halloween costumes to looking ahead at the holiday season and getting ready for the next big thing. That is, for 2013.
Well, here are a few other things to look forward to: TheCarConnection.com has released its list of the 10 most important new cars for the 2013 model year. Now, we at Fields Chrysler Jeep Dodge would be excited to see this list whether our inventory were on it or not, but since it is, we're taking the opportunity to celebrate.
The great news, in fact, is that two of our models have made the list, and the even better news for Skokie Dodge drivers is that everything you need is right here at our dealership in Northfield! So check out the vehicles that have caught some attention and stop in for a test drive when you're ready to take a look!
In particular, both the 2013 Dodge Dart, which is the first Chrysler vehicle to be released following ownership by Fiat, and Ram 1500 are two of the top contenders in the 2013 model year. The 2013 Dart is decidedly Dodge while owning a unique style that sets this compact sedan apart from all of its predecessors. HID headlamps, a reconfigurable TFT instrument cluster, Nappa leather upholstery and other class-leading features prove that the innovation of the Dodge brand is far from slowing down.
When it comes to the Ram 1500, 2013 is all about improved fuel efficiency and overall value offering, and it delivers with powertrain technology that ups fuel economy by 20 percent. Additional selling features include a new V6 engine, optional stop/start technology, an eight-speed automatic transmission and an eco package that includes a lightweight frame, low-rolling resistance tires and aerodynamic shutters. On top of that, the interior models and general style of this model make it an all-around standout.
As we look at the auto market overall going into 2013, you can expect a high focus on fuel efficiency, advanced in-vehicle connectivity and a smaller engine. And you can expect it all here at your local Chrysler, Jeep, Dodge and Ram dealer. Keep us in your plans for next year.
