Winter, cold, ice, and snow is probably the furthest thing from your mind right now, especially if you're out in the wilderness this summer enjoying the awesome off-road prowess of a brand new 2015 Jeep® Grand Cherokee from your Akron area Jeep dealers here at Brunswick Auto Mart. But even when winter does come back around as it inevitably will in our area you don't have to worry about the ice and snow, or even rain and wind, because Jeep tests its vehicles in a new 4x4 dynamometer testing cell that is capable of dropping temperatures to a frigid 40 degrees below zero, with wind speeds as blustery as 100 miles per hour.
Part of the automaker's most recent $2.5 million investment in upgrades at the Chrysler Technology Center at their headquarters in Michigan, the new 4x4 dynamometer cell allows for as much as 350 horsepower at the front dynamometer and as much as 650 horsepower at the rear dynamometer. The automaker can approximate extreme blizzard conditions as well as extreme heat conditions.
It's all part of their efforts to make sure every 2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee can take on the harshest conditions that it may ever experience, as well as the rest of the Jeep lineup available from our Jeep dealership serving Akron and the entire lineup of vehicles from FCA US LLC.
"Our world-class environmental test center provides dynamic and static testing conditions to simulate the climatic environments that are experienced by our customers around the world... With more 4x4 and all-wheel-drive (AWD) vehicles in our fleet than ever, this investment will go a long way to providing the durable cars and trucks our customers expect from us," said John Nigro, Vice President of Product Development at FCA North America, parent company of Jeep.
Come to Brunswick Auto Mart today to check out our awesome Jeep inventory here at our Jeep dealership serving Akron. Winter may be the furthest thing on your mind, especially when you're out and about enjoying early August weather in and around Akron, but it's great to know that when winter does come back you'll be ready for the worst -- and so will your 2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee from Brunswick Auto Mart!
