Jeep Launches Eagerly Anticipated Turbo Diesel Grand Cherokee
SYDNEY – June 21, 2011: The multi-award winning 2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee is now available in Australia with a new 3.0-litre turbo diesel engine. The new engine is more powerful, more fuel efficient and produces lower emissions than its predecessor, while being able to tow up to 3,500kg.
“The arrival of the new turbo diesel is icing on the cake of the all-new Grand Cherokee range” said Dean Bonthorne, Chrysler Australia’s Senior Manager, Marketing & Corporate Communications.
“It’s no secret that Australians love a torquey, fuel-efficient diesel in this category, and just like so many other aspects of the Grand Cherokee, this highly anticipated new powerplant has exceeded all expectations.”
Built by VM Motori and developed together with Fiat Powertrain, a company of Fiat S.p.a., the new 3.0-litre turbo diesel engine produces 177 kW at 4,000 rpm with 550 Nm of torque at 1,800-2,800 rpm. This translates to 10 percent more power and eight percent more torque than the engine it replaces.
Even with its improved performance, fuel economy for the new 3.0-litre turbo diesel engine is 8.3 L/100km on the combined cycle, an improvement of 19 percent over the prior diesel engine. CO2 emissions (combined cycle) are also reduced by 20 percent, now at 218 g/km.
The V6 turbo diesel engine is fitted with new-generation, 1,800-bar injectors with new MultiJet II technology. This was developed and patented by Fiat Powertrain and which made its debut in 2009 on the 1.3-litre diesel engine equipped on the Punto Evo.
Engine Block Structure
The new 3.0-litre turbo diesel engine
features a compressed graphite iron, 60-degree block with aluminium
cylinder heads and a two-piece structural aluminium oil pan. Bore is 83 mm
(3.27 in) and stroke is 92 mm (3.62 in) for a total displacement of 2987
cm3 (182 in3). Bore spacing is 96 mm (3.78 in).
The engine block features a crankcase architecture with stiffened construction, including a bedplate that provides a rigid and stiff carrier for the crankshaft. This in turn helps reduce overall noise from the lower reciprocating assembly and contributes to significant improvements in overall noise, vibration and harshness.
Engine Performance Features
The induction system includes
swirl control to optimise combustion. Fitted between the intake system and
the combustion chamber, the swirl control effectively provides an ideal
air/fuel mixture at all levels of engine speed.
