With the introduction of the 1st Grand Cherokee, Jeep defined and produced the luxury sport utility automobile (SUV) market, but in spite of this grand tradition the model is currently experiencing some difficulties. Jeep not only defined what an SUV was, it was the SUV market place in the USA with the inception of the Cherokee and later on Grand Cherokee. This is no longer the situation. The growing list of sturdy competition has intensified, and along with high fuel prices, this has lead to some serious challenges to Chrysler in spite of Jeeps mixture of legendary 4x4 capabilities, on and off-road refinements, and technological innovations.

The Jeep Grand Cherokee was a single of the pioneering SUVs that ushered in the contemporary SUV market place in the early 1990s. When it debuted, the Grand Cherokee represented a bigger and much more refined version of Jeep's smaller but common Cherokee. The company's designers wanted the Grand Cherokee it to be maneuverable adequate for city driving, roomy sufficient for the entire loved ones, fashionable sufficient to take out on the town and rugged adequate to reach those remote camping areas. The Grand Cherokee certainly met all of these needs and, we really feel that Jeep continues with this tradition in its current Grand Cherokee version.

The 2005/2006 version of the Grand Cherokee, which is the models 3rd generation, is a single of the very best SUVs made, and as a single critic place it arguably the most desirable. With some of the excellent offered attributes of full-time 4-wheel drive, independent front suspension, rack and pinion steering, a 5-speed transmission, and an obtainable five.7-Liter HEMI V-8 with MDS, which deactivates up to 8 cylinders when not required for much better gas mileage efficiency, the Grand Cherokee is featured packed. Safety functions include Electronic Stability Program, SmartBeam headlamps that automatically and speedily adjust high-beam brightness and intensity, All-Speed Traction Control Method, and advanced multi-stage air bags with an Occupant Classification Program. The look and really feel of the body was also updated to give it an edgy angular look, which looks new and contemporary whilst retaining that Grand Cherokee style with the famous 7-slot Jeep grille. Chrysler also gave the Grand Cherokee an updated suspension method that delivers better corning turning efficiency and a tighter turning radius.

In spite of these best-of-the-line characteristics, Grand Cherokee sales in the USA for 2006 (ending December 31, 2006) had been 139,148 units, which had been down from 213,584 in 2005. This represents a decline of 35%. Jeeps smaller SUV, the Liberty, also saw its numbers drop significantly in 2006 with unit sales of 133,557 versus unit sales of 166,883 for 2005, a 20% decline. Although it doesnt necessarily make Chrysler feel any far better, they were not alone in decreased sales in the SUV segment. Other USA auto producers also knowledgeable declines. Ford seasoned a 25% drop in its SUV sales for the USA, even though GMs truck sales had been down 9.6% (2,499,269 for 2006 versus two,765,809) (comprehensive efficiency reports for GMs SUVs was not available). The decline in SUV sales, particularly mid-range models, was impacted by the dramatic price tag increases in gasoline in the course of 2006. This along with luxury SUV models by BMW, Lexus, Mercedes, and Porshe, and mid-priced SUVs by Mitsubishi, Toyota and other people experiencing a surge in recognition is developing a sizable challenge to Chrysler. With its excellent characteristics, Jeep tradition, and the Daimler-Chrysler technology behind it, we appear for the Grand Cherokee to make a robust return in the future. --------------------------- Bloco de notas
