Jeep will renew the entire model range 2011, six off-roader are new. High-quality processed and with more powerful engines the brand takes off. We show what you can look.

After it very quietly became jeep in recent years to the brand, the Americans turn up correctly now. The complete range is renewed, restored the compass on the European market, new, stronger and clean diesels bring the technology up to date.

The all new Jeep Grand Cherokee made already at the beginning of the beginning. For the first time with independent suspension all round, as well as technology and high-quality processing (see review) is current he now a seriously to hogging competition for BMW X 5 or Mercedes ML class. The Grand Cherokee came only with two gasoline units: the famous HEMI V8 and the new 3, 6-litre V6 from Chrysler, which premiered in the Jeep. Both versions were only to have the luxury facilities of overland. The models that you want to provide good sales come now to the spring. Above all the Grand Cherokee diesel as well as the simpler and cheaper equipment lines limited and Laredo.
The three-liter V6 diesel, which is now celebrating premiere has already advertised Jeep with much advance laurels. The technical data read always promising. In contrast to the previous engine, three-liter CDI, Mercedes, increases the performance of the new engine by ten percent to 239 HP, the torque too by eight percent to 550 nm. Consumption is reduced, however, clearly of formerly 10.0 liters to now 8.3 liters in the EU cycle. For the entry-level model of Laredo, the performance of the engine is withdrawn, there it brings the v6 190 HP and 440 nm. The additional equipment of limited to the Laredo will refer to the known options: including leather-facilities or an enhanced sound system. At prices Jeep has not said so far yet. We tap a base price of about 40,000 euros for the 3.0 CRD Laredo version and around 46,000 for the limited.
To the first quarter of 2011, also the Jeep Compass takes off new, its predecessor due to lack of demand from the market had been taken in Germany. The new styling is striking: it seems at least from the front, you have given the new Jeep Grand Cherokee in the boiling: grille, hood and front bumper are strongly based on the new flagship of the jeep, while the sideline with the issued wheelhouses and the extremely strong "Hofmeister kink" in the D-pillar remains unchanged. The rear is given a new apron with elevated protection area and new clear glass lights with LED technology.  As already before the compass shares the platform with the Jeep Patriot, which was also renovated for 2011. This means among other things also fine work on the chassis that has been optimized with newly tuned suspension and stronger stabilizer on an improved road holding. The available in the United States "off road package" with chassis height lapping and the CVT transmission of gasoline of integrated area reduction there will be no contrast, in Europe.
The Jeep developers made a lot of work also in the interior design. Here soaks the new standard steering wheel of the Wrangler and Grand Cherokee now get all jeeps. Higher-quality materials, wertigere surfaces and an improved finish to also increase significantly the quality perceived. New instruments and switches, a completely redesigned mixer Board with more curves than before and the integration of the latest entertainment electronics of the House to make the compass again competitive.
The most important detail for the German market is the new diesel engine, which is the Jeep Compass with the sidepods sister model Jeep Patriot shares: here comes a 2, 2-liter CDI engine of Mercedes used 163 HP. Thus the performance increase considerably (around 10 seconds from 0-100 km/h, vmax approximately 200 km/h), while consumption will decline. So far, the diesel versions of the compact Jeep SUV were equipped with the previous pump nozzle engines from VW. Who is kAls bonus also the towing capacity significantly, instead of previously 1.6 tonnes the Jeep may take Patriot 2.2 CRD full two tons on the hook. People who like no variant, gets served the Chrysler "World engine" still with 2.4 L engine and a 170 HP, which can be optionally combined with a stepless CVT automatic transmission.
German sales start for the new Jeep Compass is in May 2011, price, he will focus on the 2009 set model. He started as a gasoline engine at around 24,000 and diesel about 26.500 euros.
The well-known cylinder diesel engine out of VM motori, which slide service in the Jeep Cherokee and the Wrangler, were brought to the Euro-5 standards mandatory from 2011. In the course of the reconstruction, the developers discovered however some reserves of power. Now exactly 200 HP, the rustic cylinders engine becomes stronger after all to 23 HP. The torque is the versions with manual transmission for strapping 460 NM, with not more quite taufrischen automatic versions are limited to 410 nm.
The new diesel are Wrangler and Cherokee in facelift models, which above all inside and on the options thoroughly revised. The Wrangler is there now with the option to paint parts and hardtop in body color, the Interior was significantly upgraded. When the Cherokee hand was created also especially in, where the middle-class off-roader shows now noble and better processed.
