2007 New Car Models

Here are some new car models announced for 2007.

2007 New Car Models

2007 Jeep Wrangler

"The new Jeep model seems to be better than the last in every way on paper : more power, more interior room, better off-road capability, more on-road refinement, and a very cool 3-piece modular top, while retaining elements that are near and dear to the diehard Jeep crowd, like solid axles. It's even MP3 capable and SIRIUS Satellite Radio-ready. The vehicle will be available in 3 trims: X, Sahara and Rubicon."

Some details on the new 2007 Jeep Wrangler:
"Although slightly smaller than ancient 4.0L inline-six that's in all but the base 2006 model, the new 3.8L V6 puts out 205 hp and 240 lb/ft of torque, up from 190 and 235, respectively. The all-new Active Sway Bar System (ASBS), an electronic-disconnecting front stabilizer bar, provides support on harsh trails and pushes the vehicle's Ramp Travel Index (RTI, measuring the suspension articulation) up 28 percent to 652."

2007 Jeep Compass
Another Jeep new car model is the 2007 Jeep Compass car model.
"the all-new 2007 Jeep Compass is being launched today as a production model. The crossover vehicle (Jeep actually calls it a compact SUV) is significant in many ways, not the least of which is the fact that it represents Jeep's move into segments outside the strict SUV market.
Like the 2007 Wrangler, the Compass will come with MP3 capability and will be SIRIUS Satellite Radio-ready. It will also get some decent gas mileage for a Jeep thanks to the company's second-generation continuously variable transaxle (CVT2), a relatively new technology that optimizes the torque curve and improves fuel economy by 6-8 percent as compared with a traditional 4-speed automatic transmission. The first FWD Jeep vehicle with fully-independent suspension, the Compass aims to attract non-traditional Jeep buyers, expanding the brand into new demographics."

The new Jeep Compass will be available in U.S. and global volume markets by the third quarter of 2006. Outside the U.S., the Compass will be available with Chrysler's 2.0L diesel engine.
