Max Pichon · 0 comments

JEEP-TURBODIESEL-ENGINEThe all-new Jeep Cherokee line-up has been further extended by the arrival of the new Limited Diesel, with its 2L turbodiesel engine and nine-speed automatic transmission for $49,000 – excluding all on-road costs and dealer delivery.

The diesel engine delivers 125kW and 350Nm and is equipped with stop/start technology that helps keep fuel consumption to 5.8L/100kms.

The new model also features a two-speed power transfer unit, with torque management and low range unique to the diesel powertrain.

Standard safety features include seven airbags (front seats multistage air bags, side bags, window bags, driver side knee air bag), ESC (electronic stability control) with ERM (rollover mitigation) and ABS (anti-lock brake system), with both on-road and off-road calibration. Importantly, the new mid-size SUV has an ANCAP five-star rating.

The vehicle is also the first mid-size SUV to feature rear axle disconnect, resulting in reduced friction and energy loss – when 4×4 capability isn’t needed – and ensuring improved fuel efficiency.
