Fuel Efficiency in the 2010 Jeep Cherokee

The 2010 Jeep Cherokee is designed with fuel efficiency in mind, and with the uncertain economy and fluctuating fuel prices, it is good news in troubled times. The 2010 Cherokee has four main power plant options, the V-6 turbo diesel, 3.7 liter, 5.7 liter and a 6.1 liter SRT, all having advanced technologies and design strategies for maximum fuel efficiency.

The 3.0 turbo diesel incorporates all the benefits of a diesel engine with the latest technologies and aerodynamics for the best fuel economy. The very popular Laredo and Limited models of the 2010 Cherokee both come standard with the 3.7 liter V-6 engine boasting an estimated 14 miles per gallon in the city and 20 on the highway, while providing 210 horsepower. Combining advances in air flow, injector design and engine design, the fuel efficiency in the 2010 Jeep Cherokee has never been better.

Even the more powerful engines like the V-8 Hemi and the SRT have been designed with eye on fuel economy. The Hemi comes with the new MDS system for power transfer and maximum mileage per gallon, and even the powerful 6.1 liter SRT gets an estimated 11 miles per gallon in the city. That's pretty impressive for an SUV with 420 horsepower, and demonstrates that power does not have to be sacrificed for fuel efficiency in a 2010 Jeep Cherokee.

Increasing the fuel efficiency in the 2010 Jeep Cherokee is not just for saving money, Jeep has an ongoing program to reduce carbon emissions and pollution around the world by making vehicles that are more fuel efficient and environmentally friendly.
