Jeep has taken its off-road icon – the Cherokee – and given it a complete makeover inside and out for 2008.

The Jeep Patriot already stands out – 42.2mpg; only £15,995 and even some green awards – but what do you do if you want your ride to stand out even more?

Chrysler UK Ltd has achieved its biggest ever March sales result with more than 4,000 cars sold for the first time in the UK – and the Dodge Caliber, Jeep Patriot and Dodge Nitro helped lead the way.

Jeep has thoroughly updated its Grand Cherokee range for 2008, with a range of new features and a new interior that makes this Jeep the most luxurious ever.

Fuel economy experts John and Helen Taylor drove a Jeep Compass and a Jeep Patriot, both standard production vehicles equipped with 2.0-litre turbo diesel engines and carrying two people and their luggage, from London to Berlin on less than a single tank of fuel each – an unmatched achievement among SUVs.

Chrysler’s new low-key alliance with Nissan could lead to other opportunities – including the possibility of building Chrysler models in the UK.

Chrysler’s opening day cattle drive down the streets of Detroit grabbed the headlines – but it was a far cry from the sort of environmental message every automaker wants to get across.

The newly-independent Chrysler is a leaner and more agile company that can make quick decisions, believes new CEO Bob Nardelli. Chrysler returned to private ownership last year after Cerberus acquired it – and for the first time in 50 years, a major American automaker has become a non-public company.

Chrysler has unveiled three brand new concept vehicles – each featuring a different advanced alternative fuel system – at the Detroit Auto Show.

RGVA, UK vehicle branding company, have launched the Limited Edition Led Zeppelin Jeep Patriot. Just seven of these exclusive 4x4s will ever be sold, each boasting a full range of refined extras, as well as stunning graphics that pay a wonderful tribute to one of the most highly regarded and documented bands.
