New Jeep Cherokee

2009 Grand Cherokee features an enhanced 4.7L V8 engine that delivers a 30% increase in power and a 10% percent increase in torque, yet still manages to improve fuel economy by more than 5%, due to increased compression ratio, improved cylinder-head port flow and a new combustion system.
“You really are getting more for less with the new Grand Cherokee V8 – it’s all part of the enhanced ownership experienced that Jeep is developing,” says David Smith, General Manager of Chrysler New Zealand.
The smooth, high-torque V6 3-litre diesel engine continues as before, as does the 6.1-litre HEMI V8 that powers the SRT8 high performance model.
Also new in the 2009 Grand Cherokee are a variety of premium amenities including the MyGIG^TM Multimedia Entertainment System , reversing camera display and an entertainment and communication system. MyGIG enables customers to use touch-screen or voice commands to control all of the features, and includes a 20-gigabyte hard drive where music and photos can be stored. There’s space reserved on the hard drive for approximately 1,600 songs; that’s more than 100 hours of music. And there is a voice-memo recorder feature.
MyGIG is a standard feature on the new Grand Cherokee, other standard features include; ParkSense® rear park assist system, rain-sensing wipers, 8-way memory driver’s seat and a U-connect system which connects to your mobile phone via Bluetooth resulting in your cellphone being operable through the vehicle sound system with handsfree functionality.
The interior is also new, with royal leather and a two-tone colour scheme lifting the style of the cabin.
Improvements to the four-wheel-drive system will make the 2009 Jeep Grand Cherokee even more capable off-road. They include Hill Descent Control, Hill Start Assist and Trailer Sway Control.
Hill Descent Control (HDC) is standard on all Grand Cherokee 4×4 models except SRT8. Operational in the “4WD Low” position, HDC provides downhill assistance at a controlled rate of speed. By means of electronic brake control, HDC supplements the gear reduction and engine braking that a traditional mechanical low-range transfer case provides. For ease of operation, Grand Cherokee’s HDC is activated and deactivated automatically, after the HDC button is engaged, as the system senses changes in topography. The system works whether the vehicle is in forward or reverse.
The Hill Start Assist (HSA) allows the driver time to transition from brake to throttle to achieve a smooth launch on a grade. The system will hold brake pressure for two seconds upon the driver’s release of the brake pedal. The ABS system decreases wheel pressure in response to increasing throttle to provide a smooth launch.
Trailer Sway Control is standard on all Grand Cherokee models (except SRT8). This system reduces trailer sway and provides improved trailer stability and increased towing safety.
Detail changes in the 2009 Jeep Grand Cherokee – now available as a Limited model with V8 petrol or V6 diesel power and the Hemi-powered SRT8 – are:
Exterior Enhanced
With its upright and substantial posture, the refreshed 2009 Jeep Grand Cherokee’s design offers an athletic and contemporary appearance. The grille has been lengthened, and the headlamps are more circular for a more dominant and expressive front view. A new HID headlamp becomes standard on SRT8 and includes an internal optic lens for the park/turn function. Fog lamps have also been lowered for enhanced road visibility. Off-road enthusiasts will be pleased with the new two-piece front fascia, allowing for the entire lower piece to be removed before hitting the off-road trails.
The shape of the body is designed to protect the sides of the vehicle from potential road debris. At the side, a proportionately longer hood and greater distance between the centre of the front axle and the base of the windshield emphasise the engine compartment and help to achieve a more powerful image.
Interior Design Elegant and Functional
The more luxurious cabin has a two tone instrument panel featuring a new level of refinement with bright accents, softer surface, and updated styling.
A new tilt and telescoping steering column is standard, with a new steering wheel that includes two-tone leather and bright chrome accent rings, which house the electronic vehicle information centre’s switches. Also new is the updated line of instrument clusters that feature new brighter LED illumination, with a modern and elegant treatment. When the vehicle is started, the dark-tinted lens fades to reveal chrome-ringed black gauges that are surrounded by a bright silver accent field.
The new floor console has revised cup holders and the Limited models receive a new leather-wrapped and chrome-accented parking brake handle. The door panels have new substantially bolstered armrests for improved ergonomics and comfort.
Jeep Grand Cherokee’s seats are beautifully crafted with contours that are precise, firm and ergonomic, featuring a robust structure. They are purpose-built and designed for long-distance comfort and feature two-tone leather with perforated inserts. In the cargo compartment a reversible load-floor panel is carpeted on one side and offers easy-to-clean plastic on the other. The plastic side includes a large shallow tray for additional utility.
Engineering
Jeep-engineered Hill Descent Control
Jeep engineering designed the Hill Descent Control system to mimic the downhill control and flexibility afforded by the ultra-low gearing found in a Jeep Wrangler Rubicon with its 4:1 ratio transfer case.
Operational in the 4WD Low position, Hill Descent Control provides downhill assistance at a controlled rate of speed with more precision and smoother operation than simply using the brakes. Unlike many of its competitors, the new Grand Cherokee with Hill Descent Control offers extremely smooth transitions between speeds and allows the driver to use the throttle and brakes without turning the system off, with a smooth and controlled return to the preset speed after the driver releases the throttle or brakes.
Once Hill Descent Control is activated by pushing the button in the centre stack, preset speeds can be selected by using the transmission shifter. For ease of operation, after the Hill Descent Control button is engaged, Grand Cherokee’s Hill Descent Control is activated and deactivated automatically, as the system senses changes in topography. The system works whether the vehicle is driven in forward or reverse.
The preset maximum speeds are:
1st gear: 1.6 km/h
2nd gear: 4 km/h
3rd gear: 6 km/h
4th gear: 9 km/h
5th gear or D: 12 km/h
Reverse (R): 1.6 km/h
Neutral (N): 4 km/h
Hill Descent Control was engineered to provide the smoothest transitions possible, even from a complete stop on extremely steep and slippery surfaces. Hill Descent Control is standard on all Grand Cherokee models with the exception of the SRT8.
Hill Start Assist
The Hill Start Assist system provides the driver time to transition from brake to throttle to achieve a smooth launch on a grade. The system will hold brake pressure for two seconds upon the driver’s release of the brake pedal. The Hill Start Assist system decreases wheel pressure in response to increasing throttle to provide a smooth launch. This system is extremely helpful when driving in urban as well as off-road areas with steep hills.
Hill Start Assist is standard on all Jeep Grand Cherokee models with the exception of the SRT8.
Trailer Sway Control
Trailer Sway Control minimises trailer sway (an alternating yaw of the vehicle) and improves handling in adverse towing conditions caused by crosswinds and traffic, provides trailer stability and increases towing safety.
Sensors monitor the vehicle’s movement relative to the driver’s intended path. The vehicle yaw sensor recognises sway. Once the system determines the sway is increasing and is not a result of the driver’s steering input, Trailer Sway Control applies brake pressure on one front wheel to counteract the yaw induced by the trailer and smoothly applies brake pressure to the other wheels to slow the vehicle. As the trailer sways to the other side of the vehicle, Trailer Sway Control will increase pressure to the opposite side of the vehicle. The technology will continue to apply alternating brake pressure and reduce engine torque until the trailer sway is under control.
Four-Wheel Drive Systems
Quadra-Drive II®

The Quadra-Drive II® Jeep 4×4 system offers customers the ultimate in off-road capability. It combines the NV245 full-time transfer case with Electronic Limited Slip Differentials (ELSD) for best-in-class tractive performance. The system instantly detects tyre slip and smoothly distributes engine torque to the tyres with traction. In some cases, the vehicle will even anticipate low traction and adjust to proactively limit or eliminate slip.
The heart of the system is the NV245 active transfer case. This transfer case includes a centre differential coupled with an electronically controlled clutch pack, varying it from a completely open state to completely locked and infinite possibilities in between. The 4-Low gear ratio is 2.72:1.
A key component in the Quadra-Drive II system is the ELSD – an industry-first application front/rear/centre and the benchmark for automatic traction differentials. The ELSD uses electronically controlled clutch packs to automatically and instantly vary from slip to lock at each axle. This maximises traction when needed without any of the on-road drawbacks normally associated with such a robust 4×4 system.
All components of the system work together, continually monitoring needs, to provide smooth and automatic application of the components for best-in-class tractive performance while improving the day-to-day on-road driving experience. For example, the ELSD releases the clutch packs in the front axle during turns to allow differentiation and prevent crow hop.
Powertrains
3.0-litre Common Rail Turbo Diesel (CRD)
The 3.0-litre common rail turbo diesel (CRD) V6 engine produces 160 kW @ 3,800 rpm and 510Nm of torque @ 1,600 – 2,800 rpm. The engine offers up to 30 percent improvement in fuel economy, class-leading torque and outstanding towing capacity (3.5 tonne). And, clean diesel technology reduces CO2 emissions by an average of 30 percent.
4.7-litre SOHC V-8
For 2009 the 4.7-litre V8 engine offers better fuel economy, power and torque than the previous 4.7-litre engine, while at the same time delivering improvements in refinement.
The new 4.7-litre V8 incorporates two spark plugs per cylinder (the only Chrysler Group engine to do so, other than the 5.7-litre HEMI), increased compression ratio, improved cylinder-head port flow and a new combustion system. The result is 223kW @ 5,650 rpm, a 30 percent increase, and 445 Nm of torque @ 3,950 rpm, a 10 percent increase and five percent improvement in fuel economy compared with the previous 4.7-litre V8 engine.
Improvements in the new 4.7-litre V8 result from significant revisions to the induction system, a lightweight piston/rod assembly and reduced accessory drive noise through lower accessory drive speed. Engine smoothness at idle is enhanced with a new cam design, two spark plugs per cylinder and a new valve-lash adjuster system. The new 4.7-litre V8 is also equipped with electronic throttle control.
6.1-litre HEMI® V8
The 6.1-litre HEMI V8 delivers outstanding performance and reduced noise, vibration and harshness. It produces 313kW and 569Nm of torque and delivers a complete performance package with exceptional acceleration and makes the SRT8 the quickest, most powerful Jeep vehicle ever created, offering 0-100kph in the low 5 second range.
Suspension Steering Systems and Transmissions
The short- and long-arm independent front suspension on Grand Cherokee provides the driver with a greater sense of precision and control and more precise steering, and reduces vehicle weight, all without compromising the vehicle’s off-road performance. The five-link rear-suspension geometry, including a track bar, also improves lateral stiffness to match that of the front suspension for optimum handling.
Electronic Stability Program (ESP), which is standard on all models, aids the driver in maintaining vehicle directional stability in severe manoeuvres on any type of surface. It works by using signals from sensors throughout the vehicle that then determine the appropriate brake and throttle adjustments for directional stability.
Grand Cherokee’s rack-and-pinion steering imparts more precise steering to the driver, providing quick response during all types of manoeuvres.
The 3.0-litre CRD engine is mated to the W5J400 five-speed automatic transmission. The 4.7-litre V-8 engine is mated to the 545RFE five-speed automatic transmission. These Grand Cherokee models have class-leading towing capacity of 3.5 tonne(SRT8 Towing restrictions apply). All transmissions feature Electronic Range Select driver interactive shift control. The shifter provides fully automated shifting when in the “drive” position. Or the driver can manually select each gear by simply moving the shifter left and right from the “drive” position using the tiptronic facility. This gives the driver control to precisely match any on-road or off-road requirement.

Alfa Romeo Mito

The new Alfa Romeo Mito is available now at Andrew Simms Alfa Romeo in Newmarket Auckland book a test drive or come in to view at their Newmarket Dealership or book online at www.andrewsimmseurpean.co.nz
Read about the new Alfa Romeo Mito below
Although Alfa Romeo has had small cars in the past, most famously the Alfa Romeo AlfaSud which started a line of cars that lead to the Alfa Romeo 147 in today’s range, the Alfa Romeo MiTo is significantly different in its positioning from previous models. Not only is it in the market sector below the AlfaSud and today’s 147, but also unlike the AlfaSud, which is was designed to compete mass market, every element of the MiTo places it firmly at the premium prestige end of its market sector.
The fact that the MiTo has been designed to be exclusively a three door car has provided the stylists at Alfa Romeo Centro Stile with the freedom to endow the MiTo with a new level of style, internally and externally, that has not been previously available in this market sector.
Most obviously is the way the MiTo tappers behind the ‘b’ pillar to provide not a just coupe style, but also shoulders over the rear wheels akin to those on the Alfa 8C sports car, that lead the eye to rear lights, which include the first of several class-firsts, the safety of LED rear lights replacing conventional light bulbs.
At the front, the shield-shaped grille is imposingly sited at the end of a sculpted V-shaped bonnet, flanked by clear lens and teardrop headlamps. In profile, the high waistline, flared wheel arches, disguised B-pillar and minimal rear overhang combine to communicate power, performance and agility.
Inside the cabin, the high quality interior feels like a car from a class above, with with additional touches such as its unique carbon fibre-look dashboard. The sporty dials are hooded and the central console comes with a satin finish. Careful soundproofing helps create a quiet and refined environment that optimises the inclusion of a quality sound system and integrated Blue & Me™.
The turbocharged Alfa MiTo delivers an engaging and rewarding driver experience. The turbocharged 1.4 litre 114 kW MiTo Sport delivers the type of power normally associated with a significantly larger engine as it accelerates from 0-100 kmh in 8 seconds, and continues to a top speed of 215 kmh, yet offers a combined fuel figure of just 6.5 litres 100 km.
Alfa Romeo’s innovative DNA system is another first for the class. A three-position switch, situated beside the gearlever, alters the throttle response and steering set-up for different driving environments – Dynamic, Normal and All Weather.
In Dynamic mode, the throttle response is quicker, the steering is sharper and the handling is more direct. For icy and loose surface environments the All Weather mode provides a more gentle response. Alfa Romeo’s Electronic Q2 limited slip differential heads a list of dynamic driver aids, including a long list of safety systems. Together, these all help deliver impressive driving dynamics and handling, along with sure-footed road holding capabilities.
In line with entertaining levels of performance and handling, the Alfa MiTo also boasts high levels of safety.
Designed and developed to achieve the highest possible scores in passive and active safety tests, the Alfa MiTo is one of the safest cars on the road, providing driver and passengers with a high level of protection.
In recognition of its safety credentials, the Alfa MiTo has already collected a 5-star Euro NCAP safety rating.
Driver and occupant safety is paramount, and the specification of seven airbags including front airbags, window bags, sidebags and driver’s kneebag work with Alfa Romeo’s Self Aligning Head Restraint – a system that moves the head restraints closer to the neck of the front seat occupants to lessen the effect of whiplash in the event of an impact – is evidence of Alfa Romeo’s commitment to the highest possible safety standards.
During emergency braking, the Alfa MiTo automatically operates its hazard lights to alert other road users.
Both versions of the MiTo are well equipped with Trip computer, cruise control, aircon, remote locking and boot release, steering wheel audio controls, front armrest with locker, leather steering wheel, VDC with hill holder, front electric windows, DNA and a premium six speaker audio system headlining the standard equipment package.
The Alfa Romeo MiTo is launched in New Zealand in one versions highly equipped, high specification version, the 114 kW MiTo Sport that includes Blue&Me Bluetooth telematics with a USB connection, climate control air conditioning, sports bumpers, spoiler and pedals, rear parking sensors, Brembo Brakes, auto wipers, lights and interior mirror as well as front fog lights as the headlines in its standard equipment list.

The MiTo Sport is priced at $44,990 plus statutory charges and delivery.

Mazda Reveals Refined CX7

Mazda’s dynamic crossover, the CX-7, is the latest vehicle in Mazda’s line up to receive a second-generation makeover. The vehicle has a perfect blend of SUV practicality with sports car handling and performance.
While the CX-7 retains the existing 2.3L Direct Injection (DISI) turbo engine and 6-speed Activematic configuration of the existing model, the new version features a number of aesthetic enhancements which are sure to turn heads.
“We are excited to introduce the second generation CX-7. Fans of the first generation vehicle will notice we have refined elements of the original model while retaining the balance of SUV practicality and sports car spirit,” says Andrew Clearwater, Managing Director Mazda New Zealand. “The motoring public will notice these nuances as soon as they sit behind the wheel.”
The new CX-7 provides better fuel economy through model-specific measures including revised shift patterns and a reduction in body weight.
The CX-7’s stunning exterior styling links it with other models in the Mazda family. It takes cues from the new generation Mazda3, adopting the aggressive five point grille and bumper design. This is complemented with a restyled side intake containing newly-designed fog lamps. Also new are the front and rear cylindrical lamp designs and 19-inch alloy wheels which come with lower-profile 235/55 R19 tyres. Other changes to the rear of the vehicle include a roof spoiler with integrated high-mount brake lights.
The cabin of the CX-7 embodies refinement. Particularly notable are the higher quality grains and decorative parts, the incorporation of a new meter design and door trim armrests which incorporate soft pads for a more pleasing tactile quality.
Driver comfort has been optimised with the addition of telescopic steering wheel adjustment to complement the existing tilt adjustment. The driver’s seat is also equipped with three position seat memory as well as eight-way power adjustment.
An auxiliary audio point for connecting portable MP3 players will be a welcome addition for Kiwis going on long road trips this summer and comes standard across all models.
Other standard features carried over from the previous model include leather trim, power windows, heated power mirrors, heated front seats and climate controlled air-conditioning, steering wheel-mounted audio and cruise control, MP3 compatible six-disc CD player with a nine speaker 240-watt BOSE® sound system and remote central locking with dual stage unlock.
Like the new Mazda3, the CX-7 adopts the new top-mounted Multi Information Display (MID) which provides the driver with a range of information on audio, fuel consumption, safety alerts and even maintenance reminders.
For added safety, the Multi Information Display also incorporates the monitor for the car’s reversing camera. The camera and rear view monitor display is activated when the shift lever is moved to the ‘Reverse’ position, with the ignition switch in the ON position. As soon as the transmission is moved out of ‘Reverse’ the screen returns to the previous display.
The CX-7’s active safety package includes six airbags (dual front, front side and head protecting front and rear curtain airbags), Dynamic Stability Control (DSC) as well as traction control, ABS anti-lock brakes with Electronic Brake-force Distribution (EBD) and Emergency Brake Assist (EBA).
The Active Torque Split All-Wheel Drive (AWD) computer controlled system constantly monitors the wheel speed and engine data to optimise grip according to the driving conditions and adjusts the torque distribution from 100:0 to 50:50 front to rear as required.
Like all Mazda passenger cars, every new Mazda CX-7 comes with mazdacare genuine servicing for the first three years or 100,000kms (whichever occurs first).
The CX-7 priced at $47,595 is available in Copper Red Mica, Crystal White Pearl, Galaxy Grey Mica and three new options of Stormy Blue Mica, Sparkling Black Mica and Aluminium Metallic. Visit www.mazda.co.nz for a full list of specifications details.

Below I want to go through something’s that may help you when buying your next car.

Buy from a registered motor vehicle trader as there are many benefit’s to you buying from a registered car dealer like

1. The car must be sold to you with a clear title

2. The car must be sold with a current Warrant of fitness

3. Car dealers can offer the best advice on servicing ( They may even have a service department )

4. Car dealers can offer tailored finance packages

I spoken about this in more detail on my benefits page if you wish you can read this by visiting the link below

Benefit’s of buying from a car dealer

If you are not buying from car dealer then I would suggest that before you purchase you buy a Vehicle History Check there are many company’s out there that offer this service like VIR and others.

you can check to see if there is money still owing on the vehicle and if there is a current Warrant of Fitness and Registration.

When you are buying your next car think about the car you are buying and whether it will suit your purpose is it a good car on fuel and do some research on it or ask someone else who has had one like it.

Buying a car is big process thats why it is always good to spend some time researching.
