Fuel-Saving Features from CDJR

With fuel prices projected to remain high through Memorial Day, everyone has become more attuned to their vehicle’s fuel economy. Chrysler Dodge Jeep RAM has engineered the models in its lineup to offer outstanding fuel-saving features. From hybrid powertrains to aerodynamic designs, Chrysler Dodge Jeep RAM keeps the environment—and your wallet—in mind. 

Variable Valve Timing

Chrysler Dodge Jeep RAM’s variable valve timing technology is used in many engine options to increase performance as well as fuel economy and efficiency. It works by altering the timing of the valves by shifting the phase angle of the camshaft. If that sounds like a bunch of jargon you don’t really care about, just know that VVT equals better efficiency. This technology is used throughout the Chrysler Dodge Jeep RAM lineup on most models.

Turbo Powertrains

Much like how variable valve timing can improve efficiency, so can turbochargers. The application of turbochargers may have started with the desire for faster vehicles, but it has an extra benefit. By using a turbocharger, Chrysler Dodge Jeep RAM can use a smaller engine with less horsepower without creating a vehicle that feels sluggish. Small turbos provide the power you need to merge onto highways or pass another car but don’t drink up fuel when you’re driving normally. A great example is the RAM 2500 equipped with a 6.4-liter turbocharged engine. With 410 horsepower, you might expect this car to be expensive at the pump but the powerful truck still achieves 18 mpg on the highway.*

Electrified Performance

Hybrid models are an outstanding way to employ the technology of electric models with more ease of use and flexibility. For busy families, the Chrysler Pacifica Hybrid is a great option. If you want the combination of a hybrid model that has tons of capability, the Jeep Wrangler 4xe and the Jeep Grand Cherokee 4xe both offer outstanding off-road manners.

We can help you configure a vehicle that meets your efficiency needs and your lifestyle. With Chrysler Dodge Jeep RAM’s innovative technology, their line-up has so much to offer. The team at Heritage CDJR Harrisburg, Owings Mills & Parkville is ready to help and you can easily connect with someone from our team online to get started. Want to learn more about hybrid and EV options?
