Diesel Jeep, Coming Soon
After long time speculation, it’s been confirmed that Chrysler Automotive will produce a Diesel Jeep. In fact, the vehicle will be a diesel version of the 2012 Grand Cherokee for US audiences. It’s a huge leap, as diesel cars (while growing in popularity) are still rare in North America.
Jeep Grand Cherokee Diesel is slated to join the lineup ‘next year’, without any specific date released as of yet.
According to reports, “The Jeep Grand Cherokee Diesel is expected to join the lineup in 2013 (it is unclear whether it will be a 2013 or 2014 model year vehicle) after a hiatus since last being available stateside in 2008.”
Diesel powered Grand Cherokee is expected to offer a massive torque output while helping the company improve overall fuel economy ratings.
Those attending the 2012 North American International Auto Show next week in Detroit should keep an eye open for this variant, along with Chrysler’s Maserati Kubang, making its first American visit.
