With nearly every one of the luxury mid-size SUV's trim levels offering an advancement or two, it's a better time than ever to set aside some time for that out-of-the-way getaway out of Santa Monica, CA you've been planning.

2018 Grand Cherokee certainly showcases plenty of highlights for the new model year, among them:

• Standard Pentastar® 3.6-liter V6 power, with 295 horses shelling 260 pound-feet torque and making possible towing up to 6,200 pounds
• An available 5.7-liter V8 putting out 360 horsepower at 390 pound-feet, the result being best-in-class towing of up to 7…

Fresh off all-new status in 2017, the new Jeep Compass fills the innovation-ripe design space between the subcompact Renegade SUV and the Cherokee compact, while "style-wise it resembles the handsome Grand Cherokee flagship." So what took the trim gamut, from Sport and Latitude through the ultra-durable Trailhawk® to the luxurious Limited, the extra mile?

For one, the automotive research and valuation expert appreciated 2018 Compass for its robust package, small enough for maneuvering but large enough for highway cruising comfort. But it came down to performance, too.

If you're looking for a family-friendly vehicle that takes gas prices and the environment into consideration then Santa Monica Chrysler Jeep Dodge Ram is where you want to visit. Why?

If you need something to watch over the holiday break you may want to check out a documentary on Hulu called "Where They Raced." The film takes a look at the rich history of car racing in Southern California and how the race culture helped shape and define the city of Los Angeles.

After you watch the history, you may want to check out the future, the 2018 Dodge Challenger SRT Demon. How does 840 horsepower sound? It sounds and feels like the most powerful street-legal sports car you can own. 

One of the hardest thing for a vehicle to do is to retain value for resale. Many factors go into a car holding its value, and those factors are used to determine which vehicles are the best value. For the fourth year in a row, the Dodge Charger earned the ALG Residual Value Award. In its award, ALG said the Charger's powerful and efficient V6 engine and all-wheel drive capability for a four-door sports sedan.

 

Nowadays, the SUV market has a lot to offer for those who need a little extra space for their families out on the road. However, if you're like many drivers here in Santa Monica, CA and nearby West Hollywood, you're looking for more than just a roomier vehicle. You want something that offers comfort, capability, and maybe even a hint of luxury. Fortunately, you'll find all that and more with the new 2017 Jeep Grand Cherokee and its well-appointed Summit trim.

 

Well folks, the holiday season is officially upon us here in Santa Monica.  And if you're looking to experience all that the greater Santa Monica area has to offer this holiday season, indoors and out, you owe it to yourself to check out the new 2017 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited here at Santa Monica Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram.

The Jeep brand carries weight. Not every driver in Beverly Hills, Marina Del Ray, or Malibu needs something like a Wrangler or a Grand Cherokee, though. That's where the 2018 Jeep Compass comes in. Smaller and more maneuverable than its heftier siblings, the new Compass delivers Jeep quality in a smaller package that emphasizes comfort and affordability.

Sometimes when a new car model comes out, it's barely distinguishable from the model it's replacing. That's the not the case with the 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee. While it shares many of the same foundations as the (still excellent) 2017 version, the new Jeep Grand Cherokee delivers new features and trims that help to elevate it a step beyond last year's package.

What exactly does the 2018 Grand Cherokee do better?
