The models on this list offer the reliability, efficiency, and comfort you’d expect from CDJR, without breaking the bank.

Chrysler Voyager

A potent and reliable 3.6-liter V-6 engine propels the Voyager down the road. You get 287 horsepower and 262 pound-feet of torque. A nine-speed automatic transmission provides a smooth ride and powerful fuel efficiency. The potent V6 engine with a reputation for reliability and low-cost maintenance makes this model ideal for families looking for something special. UCONNECT® 4 puts a 7-inch, high-definition touchscreen at your fingertips. You also can control it with an integrated voice-command system. Android Auto™ and Apple CarPlay® allow you to seamlessly integrate your compatible smartphone to access your contacts, playlists, favorite apps, and more.

Dodge Challenger

Believe it or not, the Challenger is the Dodge model with the lowest MSRP. That means you can have a piece of automotive history without breaking the bank. Dodge offers several different powertrain options with dozens of performance-enhancing add-ons, including electric power steering, stability control, performance-tuned steering and sport suspension, performance tires, and more. The adventure begins with a 3.6-liter Pentastar® V6 engine capable of 305 hp and 268 lb-ft of torque, yet still managing fantastic fuel economy. Inside, passengers can rest easy with extensive safety features, including active head restraints and advanced multistage driver and front passenger airbags, supplemental front and rear side-curtain airbags, and front seat-mounted side airbags (all standard, of course). Finally, Dodge offers smart passive safety features like automatic high beams and rain-sensing wipers, which both adjust the intensity on their own.

Jeep Renegade

 The Renegade is also a great option for drivers transitioning from a sedan to an SUV. Its smaller size makes it perfect for joining the SUV family and will ensure that anyone behind the wheel feels comfortable commanding the Renegade on the road. The previously optional 2.4-liter Tigershark® MultiAir 2 V4 now comes standard on the Sport and Latitude models, increasing the value of these trims. It’s paired to a 9-speed automatic transmission for 180 horsepower and 175 lb.-ft of torque. The available Uconnect 4 system offers the best in infotainment with an 8.4-inch touchscreen display that controls Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™. 

RAM 1500 Classic

If you plan on driving this truck everywhere, you may want to opt for the 3.6-liter Pentastar® V6 engine with Variable Valve Timing and a Thermal Management System. You’ll enjoy performance and efficiency, since this engine produces 305 horsepower and 269 pound-feet of torque, along with outstanding fuel economy. Whether you decide to use this truck as a daily driver or a work truck, upgrading to the Uconnect® 4C NAV offers everything you’ll need in regard to connectivity and entertainment.
