If you don’t already own a Jeep® Grand Cherokee or a Dodge Challenger, here's one more reason to drive away in one today.
As one of the biggest advocates of our vehicles, we at 3Birds Template were happy to hear that the models were awarded “Most Ideal Mid-Size SUV” and “Most Ideal Sporty Car”, respectively, from AutoPacific, a marketing research and product-consulting firm that has been serving the automotive industry for 30 years.
Based on over 65,000 responses from owners of a new 2015 or 2016 vehicle, AutoPacific’s Ideal Vehicle Award measures new owner satisfaction in fifteen categories, including ride and handling, interior storage, safety features, technology, and power and acceleration.
This year marks the sixth consecutive year that the Jeep Grand Cherokee has won the Mid-Size SUV class, while the Dodge Challenger tops the Sporty Car Segment for the fourth time.
“For the last six years, Grand Cherokee owners have rated the vehicle as the SUV best targeted to its owners’ wants and needs,” said George Peterson, president of AutoPacific, Inc. “Grand Cherokee owners want very little changed. This is a testament to the excellence Jeep planners, designers and engineers have in understanding exactly what their customers want.”
The Dodge and SRT brands understand what their customers are looking for as well, and they offer the most expansive lineup of sports cars on the market.
The 2016 Dodge Challenger SXT includes a standard Pentastar V6 engine and TorqueFlite eight-speed transmission that produces 305 horsepower, while the 2016 Dodge Challenger R/T gets plenty of power from its 5.7-liter HEMI® and TorqueFlite eight- or six-speed manual transmission. If that’s not enough, the Challenger R/T also has an available 6.4-liter HEMI that is capable of kicking up 485 horsepower and 475 lb-ft of torque. (In case you were wondering, that's the most power available for less than $40,000.)
If customers want top-of-the-line performance, they can choose between the 2016 Dodge Challenger SRT 392 with six-piston Brembo® front brakes and SRT drive modes, or the Challenger SRT Hellcat. With its 6.2-liter HEMI V8 that produces 707 horsepower, the Hellcat is the most powerful (and fastest) muscle car ever.
“The Dodge Challenger has a wide product range that provides what Sporty Car drivers want. Challenger has hit its target out-pointing Sporty Car competitors in Ideal Vehicle attributes,” said Peterson.
