Mar 02, 2009 - Los Angeles, California, USA - 2008 Jeep Grand Cherokee 4X4 Limited Turbo Diesel 'The Hybrid Alternative' Jeep has installed their 3.0 liter, DOHC 32-valve turbocharged common rail diesel powerplant into the 2008 Jeep Grand Cherokee, the first American made mid-size SUV to offer a diesel powerplant. It represents a great alternative to a hybrid edition with incredible low-end torque and excellent fuel mileage. As a result of the slow down in total vehicle sales, especially in sport utility sales, this great alternative to a hybrid will not be produced in 2009, so you'll have to check out the new model lot at your local Jeep dealer where there are many units still available, and at discounted prices. This state-of-the-art, Mercedes-Benz designed and built 3.0 liter, all-aluminum V6 diesel engine features high-pressure direct injection, double overhead camshafts, and a single turbocharger/intercooler. It generates 215hp at 3, 800rpm and a whopping 376lb.ft. of torque at 1, 600-2, 800 rpm. (Credit Image: © Harvey Schwartz/ZUMA Press) RESTRICTIONS: * Full Text Available *
