Jeep leads the way for SUVs

I knew it must be true, but now I see others are agreeing. Jeeps are leading the way for SUVs. According to Wheel Power, Jeeps obviously leads the way in the SUV segment by providing so many different vehicles, they're sure to satisfy any consumer's needs. That appeal has just grown larger with the addition of two compact models that should appeal to most people, even city dwellers.

The article gives a nice summary: "These two (new) Jeeps are the smaller Patriot and Compass with a base price of less than $ 20,000. These compact trucks are powered by an economical four-cylinder engine and they can be ordered with an automatic or a standard transmission, front-wheel drive or all-wheel drive. But, for motorists looking for more capabilities, only the Patriot can be bought with the Trail Rated option. Jeep also redesigned its very popular Wrangler (once known as the TJ) last year and it is now available in a two-door or four-door (Unlimited) version. The only engine in the catalogue is a 3.8 litre V6.

The popular Liberty was also recently redesigned with the Dodge Nitro body and platform. But it is still a very affordable SUV. Thinking about a bigger Jeep? Then opt for the internationally- renowned Grand Cherokee. This mid-size SUV can now be ordered with a Mercedes-Benz-designed turbo diesel V6. There is still a base V6 or one of twoV8s in the catalogue, including the mighty HEMI. Incidentally, the Grand Cherokee can also be delivered in a very sporty SRT8 with lowered suspension and 420 horsepower HEMI V8. Finally, if you are considering carrying up to seven passengers, look for the biggest Jeep available, the impressive Commander."

So if you are looking for a SUV, Jeep has one the will surely fill your needs. The hard part might be deciding which one.
