This morning, we learned the exciting news that, for the third year in a row, the clean diesel engine available in the Jeep Grand Cherokee, is one of Ward's 10 Best Engines of the year. The 3.0-liter EcoDiesel V-6 is also the lone clean diesel technology representative on the list for the second consecutive year.

When equipped with the EcoDiesel engine, Grand Cherokee, the most awarded SUV ever, achieves a best-in-class EPA rating of 30 mpg highway. The engine's enhanced response offers more control of the 420 pound-feet of torque, delivering a smoother, more comfortable driving experience.

“We are never content to rest on our laurels, so our engineering team worked overtime to make a great engine even greater,” said Bob Lee, Vice President and Head of Engine, Powertrain and Electrified Propulsion Systems Engineering. “For model-year 2016, customers who choose our 3.0-liter EcoDiesel V-6 will experience more of the attributes they were seeking when FCA US became the first automaker to equip a light-duty pickup with clean diesel technology.”
