2004
Jeep (au) Grand Cherokee 4WD gets abit of Turbo Diesel. The J has introduced a 2.7L CRD I-5 engine featuring common-rail direct injection and an intercooled variable geometry turbocharger.
The Grand Ole' Dame has a Quadra-Drive system (standard on Overland and optional on Laredo and limited V8 and CRD). Apparantly it's the only four wheel drive system to operate at a maximum capacity all the time, according to the J.
2000 June:
Jeep (au) has made the 4.7 litre V8 (petrol) engine
(162 at 4700r, 390 at 3200ropm)
available, as an alternative to the straight six,
in the base Laredo Jeep Grand Cherokee (right).
The V8 comes with the `45RFE' 5-speed automatic gearbox.
The `Quadra Drive' four wheel drive system,
i.e. the Quadra-Trac II transfer case
with front and rear Vari-Lok LSDs, is an option.
The Quadra Trac transfer case
drives the rear wheels normally,
but if there is wheel slip a pump raises hydraulic pressure
to a multi-disc clutch thus sending drive to the front axle.

Holden Astra Convertible Turbo(Highly recommended sports car), from $49,990
This European convertible is a stunning car in so many ways. It's a great drive (with high performance 147kw Turbo). It's practical and apart from a small boot has abundant room for 4 or 5 at a pinch. It's loaded with standard features: air, power windows / steer, cruise, 6 speaker CD, ABS, traction control, airbags & more. It also looks great! My Managing Director's lovely wife owns one of these & I have no hesitation in recommending this car to you. A true bargain for a high performance Euro Convertible.
