People tend to drive more during the summer months, and driving during the summer months usually means paying higher prices for gas. It's a simple matter of supply and demand. But the folks who build Jeep® vehicles have a remedy for higher gas prices: Engine Stop-Start, now included as standard equipment in 2015 Jeep Cherokee models optioned with the company's powerful and responsive Pentastar® V-6 engine, with scheduled availability beginning in the third quarter of 2014.
The 271-horsepower V-6 engine, developed from the company's highly acclaimed 3.6-liter Pentastar power plant, delivers terrific fuel efficiency thanks to Engine Stop-Start (ESS) and performs better than the previous V-6 engine equipped in the Jeep Cherokee. And as a bonus, ESS helps reduce CO2 emissions.
When you come to a stop at a stop sign or red light, ESS cuts the flow of fuel to the engine and turns it off. When it's time to start up again and you lift your foot off the brake, a highly durable, high-speed starter turns the engine back on quickly.
You don't have to worry about loss of creature comforts during hot summer months either -- more robust batteries are used to keep important systems functioning continuously.
Great fuel efficiency, lower fuel costs, reduced emissions -- it's a great remedy for high gas prices during the summer months. If you're planning to do some driving this summer and you're concerned about fuel prices, ESS in the 2015 Jeep Cherokee for sale near Akron at Brunswick Auto Mart may be just what you're been looking for. Stop in today to learn about how ESS in the 2015 Jeep Cherokee can save fuel when you stop at a red light or a stop sign.
"We're taking highly efficient engines and upping the ante to further benefit our customers... ESS leverages intricate control strategies to deliver a superior driving experience, as well as the expected fuel-savings and emissions-reduction," said Global Director-Electrified Powertrain Propulsion Systems Mike Duhaime.
