2008/ 2009 Jeep Cherokee KK   video

cherokee kk 2008Jeep has a history and a purpose . In Australia 1994 marked the reintroduction of this icon 4x4 vehicle. Crude no airbags left hand drive to right this jeep showed Australia a whole new market of 4x4 vehicle suitable to the harden 4x4er or the city dweller.. Now 14 years later Jeep Cherokee is updated to the KK. Its slightly larger in the cabin but overall slightly smaller and the spare thank god has finally been moved underneath. Wheel base is longer.
Two models the sports and the limited. Two engines 3.7 litre V6 and the turbo charged diesel 2.8 with a five speed automatic box. Price range from the sports petrol at $39990 AUD to the Ltd diesel at $49990.

Grand Cherokee 2008
 

 

 

Standard electronic features include , hill decent control, Jeeps selec trac 2 , stability control & hill start assist. Suspension is all new with independent front and solid axle rear. Turning circle something the older ones had plenty of has been reduced here in the Cherokee kk to 10.8 metres.

For a older vehicle now you can expect all other goodies like power windows, mirrors, c/lock  climate control, six stack CD player.

Towing is always a good point and the Cherokee here is in the market at 2270 (max braked) the V6 is slightly better on KW now at 151kw with the Nm being 314.

Fuel consumption something in the 1990's jeep was renowned for (not) has improved in this model.

The diesel is most impressive with a 10 kw rise in power and torque now 460Nm at 1000 rpm.

I have always said the Jeep Cherokee is a vehicle that can take you through peak hour traffic during the week and on weekends can hook up the horse float, or go off road mind you ground clearance is not as good as some.

Here are some brief statistics

Power 3.7 V6/diesel   151 kw @ 5200 rpm /130 kw @ 3800 rpm

Torque 3.7/ diesel 314 Nm @ 4000 rpm /460 Nm @ 2000 rpm

Transmission 4 sp auto / 5 spd auto

Dimensions (MM) 4493 length 1839 width 1736-1797 height

Clearance 189 front 196 rear (MM)

Weight 1935- 2090 kg

Jeep Cherokee As a Used Vehicle

I have always had a soft spot for the Jeep produce it does a good job and is well appointed, watch price depreciation once purchased.

Buy right look hard for unexpected mechanical issues and you should have a good multi purpose vehicle with average to good reliability

Unfortunalty only a limited number of jeep dealers are usually left to bid on a used car price when trading in a vehicle.

And its true it is a jeep thing...

Grand Cherokee  2008/ 2009

2008/2009 Jeep Grand Cherokee is all that's been promised by the car manufacturer. More style , more power and more economy. A new factory approved LPG conversion is now available on the Grand Cherokee and Chrysler 300C car. This conversion is currently being developed by Purnells LPG in Victoria for inclusion into other models soon.2009 Jeep Grand Cherokee

 

Three models in the Grand

  • Laredo
  • Limited
  • SRT8

Pricing Laredo CRD $54 490-SRT8 $89,990

Engines

  • 3 lt turbo diesel 160 kw
  • 4.7 V8 228 kw
  • 5.7 V8 Hemi 240 kw
  • 6.1 Lt Hemi V8 (srt8) 313 kw

 

Its quieter and more power , nice but fuel consumption and you wont be surprised is 15-17 litres/100 km for the petrol. Call me old fashioned but definitely worth a look is the 3 litre CRD model.

 

Jeep Gladiator not yet a done deal

Jeep Gladiator is still not cemented yet in the market like all models new things are just a little up in the air at this point.

For the Australian market highly unlikely but the US may see it soon2009  Jeep Gladiator
