Though moose aren't a common sighting at our Jeep dealership serving Newburgh, NY, we would like to take a moment today and discuss these large mammals. More specifically, we'd like to dedicate this post to the 2014 Grand Cherokee and its moose-avoiding skills.
If you're confused, worry not, we're happy to elaborate. You see, in Sweden there's a popular publication by the name of Teknikens Varld which has been performing a "moose test" on various vehicles since the 1970s. The idea of the assessment, as you may be able to surmise, is to evaluate how a model will respond when met with an unexpected moose (or elk) in the road.
Naturally, if that was to happen to you while driving here in Monticello, NY you'd swerve to avoid hitting the animal. Our Scandinavian counterparts react in the same manner, and in the recent moose test that was put to the 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee the model proved to be quite nimble.
More specifically, at speeds up to 44.1 miles per hour and loaded to Sweden's registration of 6,501 pounds, the anti-rollover and electronic stability systems within the 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee reacted smartly. When met with a quick directional change, the SUV stayed securely on the road.
Of course, there's more behind the safety of the 2014 Grand Cherokee than moose avoidance. To learn the SUV's complete specs, we invite you to stop by our showroom at Robert Green Chrysler Dodge Jeep. During your visit our team is happy to continue the conversation and arrange convenient test drives.
