Save at the Pump with CDJR

If you're ready to reduce your carbon footprint or find ways to save more money this year, fuel consumption is one of the best places to start. CDJR has engineered the models in its lineup to offer outstanding fuel-saving features. From hybrid powertrains to aerodynamic designs, CDJR keeps the environment—and your wallet—in mind. 

Variable Valve Timing

CDJR’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 CDJR lineup on most models.

Turbo Powertrains

Much like 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, CDJR 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 fuel when you’re just 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.*

Hybrid & Electric 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.
