2011 Jeep Patriot

Chrysler has just revealed the first images and details of its 2011 Jeep Patriot, and the compact softroader has received very subtle nip/tuck for the new model year that touch nearly every aspect of the vehicle.



Exterior upgrades include what Chrysler describes as a more "aggressive" front fascia with standard foglamps, a new rear fascia, body-color grille and optional 17-inch wheels. The SUV also gets four new exterior colors, as well as an increased 4x4 ride height. "Ride and handling is refined courtesy of returned steering and suspension systems," said Chrysler in a statement, although specific details are not being disclosed yet.



At the interior the automaker has increased the quality of materials, and the steering wheel integrates the audio/trip controls just like in the new Grand Cherokee.



The 2011 Jeep Patriot will be offered with front-wheel- or four-wheel-drive, and will be available in three configurations – Sport, Latitude and Latitude X. Sales will begin in the fourth quarter of 2010.



Other top features are the 2011 Jeep Patriot model's affordability, fuel economy for its segment and safety features, Chrysler said. (The 2010 model took Top Safety Pick honors from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety -- provided the vehicle has the optional side torso airbags). Chrysler hasn't announced pricing, but Edmunds experts expect that the base-model MSRP will be $17,795 and predict that fuel-economy will be a combined 25.

Jeep Renegade Concept (2008)

The advanced propulsion system in the Jeep Renegade concept starts with a 40-mile lithium-ion battery pack. A range extender - in Renegade's case, a small-displacement (1.5-liter, 3-cylinder) BLUETEC diesel engine - allows for journeys beyond 40 miles. In fact, the Jeep Renegade concept boasts a 400-mile range.

Renegade's BLUETEC diesel engine generates an additional 115 horsepower when needed, while greatly reducing exhaust emissions when compared to standard gasoline engines. Renegade is capable of achieving an equivalent petroleum fuel economy of 110 miles per gallon, which is four-to-five times greater than an equivalent gasoline-only vehicle.

The all-new Jeep Renegade concept's lightweight aluminium architecture and regen-braking system help to improve overall efficiency, while dual electric 200 kilowatt (268 horsepower) motors propel a very capable 4x4 system - complete with low range and locking differentials -- worthy of carrying the Jeep name.

 Layout: Four wheel drive with low range and locking differentials,Motor: Dual electric,Power: 200 kW (268 hp) x 2,Regenerative braking,Battery: 16 kWh Li-ion battery pack,Range extender: 1.5-liter, 3-cylinder diesel,Fuel volume: 10 gallons.

Dodge Viper & Jeep Wrangler to be Axed

Doom and gloom are written in the sections of the bankruptcy filing documents that deal with Chrysler's Viper and Jeep Wrangler brands. These documents refer to two Chrysler entities, one called OldCo and the other is the New Chrysler. OldCo assets would not be affected by the recently-announced Fiat/ Chrysler tie up and would ultimately be closed down by 2010.

2012 Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8: Exclusive first look at!

The 2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee debuted last week, but we've just received this official sketch depicting what appears to be the 2012 Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8. We're told it'll get the 6.4-liter crate HEMI.


The biggest news we've received is the high-po Jeep will receive the 6.4-liter 392 HEMI V8 with anywhere between 505-525 tire burning horsepower and roughly 510 ft-lbs of torque, all driven through a revised AWD system. The 392 HEMI has also been rumored to show up in other 2010 SRT8 models, but we're guessing it'll arrive first in the mid-cycle refresh for both the Challenger and Charger in 2011.


If the rest of the world's like us, then HELL YEAH! We're entering into big-time rumor territory here, but there is a glimmer of hope for both Jeep and SRT fans alike. We've heard from a source deep within Chrysler that things have been humming along quietly in the SRT garage as engineers work hard to develop the Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8 as a 2012 model.


If the above sketches are anything to go by, the 2012 Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8 will be a subtle beast with lowered, sportier suspension, beefy SRT 5-spoke wheels, larger diameter rotors with grippy multi-piston calipers, revised front and rear fascias, a functional cold air induction cowl hood and a larger spoiler out back. We like what we're seeing, but like GM's performance shop, we'll have to wait and see whether or not Chrysler can muster the cash to put out another answer to a question nobody really asked.

2010 Chrysler Full Production Electric Vehicles

The Chrysler EV based on the Town & Country possesses a slightly less powerful electric motor with an output of 255 horsepower (190kW) and 350Nm (258lb-ft) of torque. It can accelerate from 0-60mph in under nine seconds and boasts an driving range of 400 miles on only eight gallons of fuel – that equates to a fuel consumption figure of 50mpg.


Chrysler LLC today presented electric versions of the Chrysler Town & Country, Jeep Wrangler along with a Dodge branded sportscar based on the Lotus Europa. Chrysler intends to have 100 of these vehicles on the road next year with the Government set to be the main beneficiary before full production commences in 2010 for consumers in the North American and European markets. The technology combines an electric motor that drives the wheels along with an advanced lithium-ion battery system and a controller that manages energy flow.


The most impressive drivetrain is featured in the Dodge EV, the 268 horsepower (200kW) electric motor generates a massive 600Nm (442lb-ft) of torque. It allows the model to launch from zero to 60mph in less than 5 seconds until it reaches a top speed of 120mph, its quarter mile time sits below 13 seconds. Charging can be done from a typical 220-volt or 110-volt household socket which will charge the vehicle in four hours and eight hours respectively, it ultimately gives the Dodge EV a driving range of up to 200 miles.


“This technology provides customers with a vehicle that has zero tailpipe emissions and a 150- to 200-mile driving range – far exceeding most Americans’ daily commutes, as nearly 80 percent of Americans drive less than 40 miles per day, or 14,000 miles per year,” said Frank Klegon, Executive Vice President – Product Development, Chrysler LLC. “Electric Vehicles provide the opportunity to fulfil social responsibility, reduce dependency on foreign oil, and eliminate monthly gasoline bills, while delivering performance and utility that our customers desire.”


Moving up a level to the Jeep Wrangler, the same 268 horsepower electric motor is found with an output of 400Nm (295lb-ft) of torque. It is combined with a small gasoline engine to give the model an uninterrupted driving range of 400 miles, with 40 of these miles achieved through zero emission electric only operation.
