Pricing the 2014 Grand Cherokee Limited Diesel not only has the $4500 adder for the engine, you have to add another $3000 for Luxury Group II. Only way they it comes. No way to make this pencil out!

I have a jeep laredo 4×4 love it but the thing destroys me in gas, every time I drive to NJ and back to NYC even with no traffic things is ridiculous to fill up, always costing me $50 or $60 and the tank is never on empty, I got a tune up and rented a piece of junk ford escape some special gas it said on the back eco something and I drove all the way to NJ and Back and I told the guy give me $50 cash it only took $8 to till it up? is that because its like a hybrid or something? please somebody let me know cause now I am going to get a new suv, dont like the jeeps gas milage, i was looking at the 4Runner same on gas, I hate to down grade to a rav4 but u save double on gas, and in the city its impossible to find a gas station and its almost $5 a gallon? Does anybody have any suggestions for me? Tony

That is based on the limited trim the lowest level that offers the diesel

Actually it’s more like $7,500 because they require you to get some luxury group II. Only available in the top three trims. Was so excited for these but they just lost my sale I’m not going to spend $8K for that engine I’d never make up the cost difference in the life of the SUV.

You can’t compare the 3 liters turbodiese with the 3 liters gas. For towing, 0-100 and capacity, the real comparation has to be done with the 5,7. That would have the same price. Moreover, in the real world, i own a jgc 5,7. In average i cannot do better that 20 l x 100 km, that would mean about 12 mpg. In europe i usually drive a ml 320 cdi. And i usually do 10 lx100 km or 24mpg. With better torque abd acceleration. So if the price of the diesel is the same of the 5,7, i can already book one.

Just got back from the auto show in toronto, looks like the diesel is only available in 2 trims. The summit and overland, and if your Canadian your looking at 60 to 70 thousand dollar SUV. Thanks Chrysler! I won’t be buying
Anything from your fleet!

your saving abut $.02 per gallon over the Gas V6 based on their MPG and current fuel prices in my area. Going to take about 200K miles to break even on the Diesel engine cost

But if there is not a decent return, it just doesn’t make sense. You either have to make a less expensive diesel or get a huge fuel economy benefit to justify these kinds of up-costs for the diesel.

Its because diesel engines cost lot more money to make that’s why they have the Premium

A dealership told me the summit was to be priced cheaper than the overland I guess he was way wrong
