The 2021 Chevrolet Review Series: Tahoe & Suburban

Chevrolet has always been high quality and popular full-size SUVs. In many ways, their two largest SUVs compete against each other and in 2021 have been made even better than previous years. We are of course talking about the brand new 2021 Tahoe and the 2021 Suburban. Both of these 3 row large SUVs are similarly priced and come with some of the newest features that new Chevrolet Vehicles have to offer. For many years now both models have been rated in the top 3 of the best large SUVs and with very good reason. This is a review of some of the best features in the new Tahoe and Suburban.

  Interior

The Chevy Tahoe and the Chevy Suburban are both large full size 3 row SUVs. This means they have a seating capacity of up to 8 adults. The first and second rows in both SUVs are similar in size and can comfortably seat most adults. The third row, as is common in 3 rows SUVs is slightly smaller, and can sit adults for shorter trips but is better suited for teens or children for longer periods of time. The 3rd row is easy to access because the 2nd rows can slide and fold up or down to allow easier access. Not only that but in both models, the 2nd and 3rd rows can collapse completely down to massively increase the cargo-carrying space. The Suburban has the most with a maximum of 144 cubic feet of cargo space when the last 2 rows are folded down and the Tahoe has about 122 cubic feet. The suburban is slightly longer and wider which can make a difference in storage space and for people sitting in the third row.

Both SUVs come with large 10.2-inch touchscreen LCD infotainment displays that include wifi, hotspot, satellite, HD radio, navigation, and full integration of both Apple and Android devices.

  Engine

The 2021 Tahoe and the 2021 Suburban both have the same excellent options for the engine.

5.3-liter V8 that makes 355 horsepower

6.2-liter V8 with 420 horsepower

Duramax turbo diesel 3.0-liter inline 6 with 277 horsepower

These strong and powerful engines are necessary to power SUVs of this size and come with plenty of benefits. For example the large towing capacity. The new Tahoe can tow up to 8,400 pounds and the Suburban can tow up to 8,300 with the proper setup. This is more than enough for towing boats, trailers, most RVs or anything else you and your family are looking to do. 

The fuel efficiency is competitive in the full-size SUV market with about 15 mpg in the city and 20 mpg on the highway, This varies based on the trim level, whether you are using FWD or AWD and of course the engine.

There are off-road trims of both the Tahoe and Suburban. The Z71 comes with better all-terrain tires, skid plates, tow hooks, and four corner air ride adaptive suspension. But because of the large size and weight of both vehicles, it is probably not the first pick for off-road fun.

  Safety

What good would a full-size family SUV be without excellent safety ratings intended to protect you and your family? The Tahoe and the Suburban have always done very well with its NHTSA safety ratings. In the last years, both the RWD and 4WD models received above average 4-star overall safety ratings and front crash ratings and a perfect 5-star rating for side crash.

With the proper trim and upgrades, you can have plenty of assistance with the Chevrolet Driver Assistance technology.  Both SUVs come with up to 9 camera angles to help eliminate blind spots and help with backing-up or hooking up the trailer. Plus features like:

Rear parking sensors

Front parking sensors

Blind spot monitoring

Rear cross traffic alert

Following distance indicator

make it safer and easier to handle such a large SUV. With $0 lease deals and flexible mileage allowances, the time to lease a new Tahoe or new Suburban has never been better!

Meet The 2020 Cadillac Escalade

2020 Cadillac Escalade is a large luxury SUV that boasts of a brawnier engine and a high tow rating. The Cadillac is one of the handful large SUVs with a top-notch in and off-road ability. Perhaps, much credit to this should be given to its truck-based origin. If you genuinely need a road-trip-ready luxury SUV with a lot of standard features, strong towing capability, and robust engine, the Cadillac Escalade should be the top choice. This is also showcased with constant demand and reviews from customers of the Cadillac Lease Deals PA, who have all attested to the peculiarity of the Cadillac Escalade.

Although it has lots of upscale standard features (like heated and ventilated front seats, a leather interior, self-parking assist, and much more), a muscular engine that can tow up to a hefty 8300 pounds, three rows of seating, and impressively quiet cabin. Regardless, it still has some weak highlights that are significant. A few close rivalries can best it’s cabin, handling, towing capacity.

Engine And Transmission

All trim level of the new Cadillac Escalade comes with a 6.2-liter V8 engine, connected to a 10-speed automatic transmission and gives off a 420-horsepower. The V8 engine of the Cadillac provides just enough power to meet the driving needs. The 10-speed automatic makes for a smooth shift in gear and quicker acceleration.

Fuel Economy, Towing, And Handling

The powerful V8 engine has a decent fuel economy estimates for a large luxury SUV. Its EPA ratings are at 14 mpg for city and 21 mpg for highway in all-wheel drive grades. The rear-drive versions get an estimated EPA of 14 mpg in the city and 23 mpg on the highway.

Escalade’s towing capacity, when properly equipped, can as high as 8,300 pounds. Its impressive towing capacity is one of the highest in the class. However, with the four-wheel drive, this towing capacity can go down to a limit of 8,100 pounds.

By its nature of been built on a body-on-frame, truck-based platform, the 2020 Cadillac Escalade can prove a little challenging to handle some times and be ungraceful in movement. This massive handling, coupled with the non-seamless steering control, can be a turn off here. In general, the newest Escalade offers a comfortable and relaxing ride. It comes with a standard rear-wheel-drive and an optional four-wheel drive.

Interior, Comfort, And Cargo Space

Although some close rivals havemore cushy interior, nevertheless, the new Cadillac Escalade still holds its own. It’s leather upholstery is standard, with fascinating interior features like ventilated and heated front-row seats with 12-way power adjustments,heated steering wheel,heated second-row seats,and a power-folding third row. Some higher grades offer 18-way power-adjustable front seats with a massage function, upgraded leather upholstery,and power-adjustable second- and third-row seats.

Comfort is one thing you are assured of in the new Cadillac Escalade. Its first and second rows have ample room space to guarantee maximum comfort. The third row, however, lacks enough room space. The Cadillac Escalade ESV, a long-wheelbase, offers more all-round comfort, with enough head and legroom to meet any auto lover’s requirement in a large SUV. This makes a Cadillac Escalade Lease a viable option.

With a cargo space of 15.2 cubic feet when all rows are upright, the 2020 Escalade falls below average for a luxury three-row SUV. Its long-wheelbase trim, the Escalade ESV, makes up for this inadequate cargo space with 120.9cubic-foot maximum cargo capacity.

Every feature that comes with a Cadillac vehicle, from the engine to safety features, interior touch, and drop-dead gorgeous bodywork,all fits the description of a proclaimed Standard of the World. In recent times, the auto brand seems to have lost its famous strong whelms on luxury and quality cars.

The Cadillac CT6 seems to be in its last phase, as the GM has earlier announced the closure of its Detroit-Hamtramck plant and a couple of other US plants by January next year, all in a bid to cut cost. However, the CT6 will still be in production in China.

If there’s any better word to describe the new Cadillac CT6, it is ‘supercruise.’ The latest CT6 is an optimum drivers’ ride, designed with a perfect blend of exquisite interior and ample sedan space, with a driving dynamics of a much smaller sports sedan. Dumping its rear-wheel drive and making it up with more standard features that add color to its luxuries such as heated front seats, built-in navigation, a sunroof, and numerous driver assists. The upgraded driver assistance makes for enhanced safety and a more relaxing road experience. All in all, there has not been a better lease bargain on any big luxury sedan than on Cadillac Lease Deals in PA.

Engine And Transmission

Dumping its previous turbocharged 2.0-liter and twin-turbo 3.0-liter V-6 engines, the all-new CT6 comes with a non-turbo 3.6-liter V-6 the base engine and the twin-turbo 4.2 V-8 the high-powered alternative. All trims of the 2020 CT6 features an all-wheel-drive and 10-speed automatic transmission. Some of the grades like the Premium and Premium Luxuryare powered by a3.6-liter V-6 that produces a 335 horsepower. The twin-turbo 4.2-liter V-8, also known as the ‘Blackwing,’ gets a 550 horsepower and 640 pound-feet of torque. It is paired with a 10-speed automatic transmission.

Fuel Economy And Performance

With an EPA rating estimate of 18 mpg in the city and 27 mpg on the highway, the V-6 powered new CT6 goes well with other all-wheel-drive close rivals of the Cadillac. In the higher end, the twin-turbo V-8 engine gets an EPA of 14 mpg and 25 mpg in the city and highway, respectively. The 2020 CT6 performance’s way beyond expectation for a large luxury sedan of its class; a perfect Cadillac CT6 Lease bargain I must add. It’s sharp steering, smooth but sturdy handling, with firm suspension, all make the big sedan more like a small sport sedan.

Also, there is a long list of standard features such as a heated steering wheel,heated rear seats,four-zone climate control,adaptive dampers,rear-wheel steering, a head-up display,rear-seat entertainment system, and so much more, all in different proportion across its grades.

The Cadillac offers ample luxury-sedan space and the GM’s brilliant Magnetic Ride shocks, all to make for a comfortable ride. The cargo space is not terrible; neither is it so great. Its rear seats cannot be folded down.

A Review On The 2020 Cadillac XT4 SUV

Following the number of good reviews and recommendation the 2019 Cadillac had, the company  decided to upgrade and modify the model from customer’s reviews. The 2020 Cadillac is just a higher upgrade of the 2019 version with a lot of modern features. A well known significant difference between the two is the interior of the 2020 XT4; it is packed with the latest technology with easy access alongside its comfortability. The engine and fuel consumption was improved as well. Below are the clear significant features before you decide to lease 2020 Cadillac XT4 SUV.

What is new in the 2020 Cadillac XT4?

After the successful launch of the 2019 model last year, the XT4 heads into 2020 with some notable feature updates: amongst which automatic emergency braking and forward-collision warning are now standard, while the Premium Luxury trim level also gets the hands-free power lift-gate as standard equipment.

Engine and Transmission

The XT4s comes with a turbocharged four-cylinder engine that makes 237 horsepower; it pairs with a nine-speed automatic transmission.

2020 Cadillac XT4 fuel economy and performance

The 2020 XT4 comes with a 2.0-liter turbocharged inline-four, which produces 258 pound-feet of torque and 237 horsepower. The published 0-60-mph times have been in the low 7-second range, whereas competitors both smaller and larger tend to be in the 6’s. It also comes with a nine-speed automatic and standard front-wheel drive; however, the all-wheel-drive serves as an option on each trim level. Previously, the driver will manually choose to turn on the all-wheel-drive system to make it active. Once it has been engaged, it will not only shunts power back and front, but also side to side at the rear for improved handling and poor weather traction.

2020 Cadillac XT4 Safety Equipment

As said earlier, the 2020 XT4 comes standard with forward collision warning and an automatic emergency braking system that functions at low city speeds. However, the enhanced high-speed system along with adaptive cruise control and reverse automatic braking are still included in the Driver Assist package which is available on the Premium Luxury and Sport. The trims can also be equipped with the Driver Awareness package, which includes lane-keeping assist, lane-departure warning and automatic high beams. In the Enhanced Visibility package, a rear pedestrian warning and upgraded parking cameras are included.

Pricing 

The price of the 2020 Cadillac XT4 is $36,690, the all-wheel-drive additional $2500 to every model for those who want it. While the Premium Luxury and Sport models both cost the same $40,790. If you decide to go for leasing, Cadillac lease Pa offers the best affordable lease deals.

In conclusion, the 2020 Cadillac has massive improvement compared to its 2019 counterpart. The choice of acquiring this SUV either through leasing or buying brand new depends on individual preferences.

2020 Jeep Compass Vs. Cherokee: Full Review

Jeep is one of America’s most prominent automotive brand names. The brand has become synonymous to excellent off-road capacity, just as Hoover is to vacuuming or Xerox to photocopying if I may be so bold. There can only be a few people around the rest of the world that don’t know about this brand. With its origin been from World War II, when the US military needed an automobile that can traverse all terrains and weather all storms, the Jeep stood out as the ideal vehicle. In fact, its role during the Second World War cannot be overstated.

The end of the war saw the introduction of the civilian off-roading vehicles, with the grace of luxury. Over the years, many models have been top of the Jeep Lease deals in Philadelphia, PA, haven madea significant impact in the auto market.Notable among them are the Wrangler, Cherokee, Compass, and Grand Cherokee. These Jeep models are all an all-purpose vehicle that is capable of traversing rough terrain. However, as similar as they may seem, some features distinguish these brand models.

2020 Jeep Compass

There has never been a Jeep model that speaks of the Jeep’s adventurous lifestyle in a more city-friendly package than the Jeep Compass. The 2020 model year of the Compass offers remarkable all-round features. This includes an Advanced Safety package that opens up to other top-notch safety tech packages like the forward-collision warning, automatic high-beams, a leather steering wheel, adaptive cruise control, and a whole lot more. The compact crossover SUV has a more appealing exterior and easier maneuver compared to other close rivals like the Jeep Cherokee.

Aside from its outstanding road prowess that only but a few in its class seems to come close to, the interior is a pleasure. It is fully stocked with all paraphernalia needful for a comfortable and enjoyable ride experience. This could be the secret behind the high demand for the Jeep Compass lease. Other features that could make one fall in love with the new Compass includes its fantastic infotainment system, trail-ready options, and slight cargo space.

2020 Jeep Cherokee

The Cherokee is not just a terrific off-roader but offers a much comfortable cabin in the Jeep’s range of compact crossovers. The 2020 Cherokee also makes a better off-roader than most of the other Jeep’s compact crossover SUVs such as the Compass. Other features of the model that makes a Jeep Cherokee lease very attractive include its incredible towing capacity and a Trailhawk version that comes with a different level of off-road versatility that is quite unusual in its class. The Cherokee comes in both the front-wheel-drive and all-wheel-drive configurations. To further punctuate the comfort that comes with a ride in the Cherokee, it presents an effortless, yet sturdy handling that can squarely meet up with your daily commute and challenging off-road terrains. The ever supportive and soft leather seats make for additional comfort, with a user-friendly top of the class infotainment system.

2020 Jeep Compass Against The 2020 Jeep Cherokee

Engine And Performance

When it comes to powertrains and performance, the Jeep Cherokee is miles ahead of the Jeep Compass. Although the base engines of the latest Compass and Cherokee offers similar torque, and about even in transmitting their respective horsepower to the wheels. Perhaps, one of the Jeep Compass huge turn off lies in its powertrain. All of its trim comes with a 180-horsepower four-cylinder engine. Its 2.4-liter engine can be paired to a six-speed automatic (for the front-wheel-drive editions) or a nine-speed automatic (for the four-wheel-drive models). The Jeep Cherokee’s base engine offers the same 180-horsepower four-cylinder.

The powertrain of the current Compass makes the SUV timider under acceleration, and both of its automatic transmissions are a bit sluggish in locating the right gear. This is also the situation with the base engine of the Cherokee. It’s a poor choice for driving both in city and highway as a result of the dull acceleration and low power.

However, the Cherokee also offers an optional 270-horsepower turbo-four and 271-horsepower V6, which is far better than the base engines. These engines make for the more power and quick-paced acceleration of the Cherokee.

Fuel Economy

2020 Jeep Cherokee is a more convenient ride option, requiring only but a few stops at the gas station than the Jeep Compass. The Compass offers a below-average fuel economy rating. Its estimated EPA stands at 22 mpg in the city and 31 mpg on the highway. The fuel economy of the Cherokee is not to be described as terrible or excellent, just average. The base engine gets a gets 22 mpg in the city and 31 mpg on the highway rating. The turbo-four receives a rating of 23 and 31 mpg in city and highway, while the V6 makes a 20 and 29 mpg, in town and highway, respectively.

Interior, Comfort, And Cargo Space

Relative to passenger seating capacity, the same number of people can comfortably settle-in in both the 2020 Jeep Cherokee and the Jeep Compass. The new Compass offers more in cargo space than the Cherokee. Ultimately, if you are interested in not just good off-road ability but also ample cargo space, the Jeep Compass Lease could be the ideal option for you.

As both SUVs can comfortably seat five people, the Compass spacious interior provides enough room for four tall adults and also provides a commanding view of the road. The Cherokee gives enough room space majorly at the front row.

Passengers at the rear of the Cherokee also gives adequate space, a little more than the Compass. For the headroom and legroom, the Compass makes it more than the Cherokee.

Safety

Safety has been the watchword for the Jeep brand. Although the preceding model year of the Compass lacksin terms of safety tech features, the 2020 Jeep Compass witnessed a significant improvement in safety amenities, coming fully stacked with Standard safety features in all trim.

Cherokee has been miles ahead in terms of safety fittings compared to the Compass. The 2020 model year Cherokee is no different, with upgraded safety tech fittings. Its available driver assistance features include adaptive cruise control, parallel and perpendicular park assist, lane departure warning, forward collision warning, blind-spot monitoring, and automatic emergency braking.

2020 Jeep Wrangler Vs. Grand Cherokee: Head To Head Review

The US automaker has witnessed a constant rise in sales right after 2008. In 2016, over 900,000 vehicles were sold alone in America. This all-year party was soon short-lived (but not for long) as the sales hit a low of 828,522 units, which roughly represents an 11 percent downturn compared to the previous year. However, in 2018, the FCA brand had a 17 percent increase in sales, with a total of 2,235,204 units sold across all ranges in the US only. It is no surprise that the Jeep brand is the FCA’s most selling brand, with significant input in the group’s total sales.

Of course, this outstanding sales can all have to the brand’s unmatched on and off-road capability, with a perfect mix of roomy interior and top of the class infotainment system and high-tech safety features. Notable models that havecontributed significantly to this enormous success is the Grand Cherokee, Compass, and Wrangler. Their continuous distinctive features and off-road capacity and marvelous fuel economy all add up to making these models the best Jeep Lease in Philadelphia, PA.This trend is expected to increase in subsequent year models, as the automakers have shown great zeal of constituency and use of innovative technology.

2020 Jeep Wrangler

Jeep Wrangler has been continuously nothing short of impressive, with a very few off-roading rivals. Its sleek styling and spacious interior have always been an attraction. Although the Jeep model may be found wanting in terms of most contemporary cabins, it still does excel beyond all close competitors in traversing rugged terrains. This should, however, be no surprise at all, as that has been its trademark. The 2020 Wrangler is a rugged vehicle that can simply make it to anywhere comfortable, where most other SUVs in its class dare not. Designed with a sturdy, solid-axle suspension, powerful engine options, and lots of off-road accessories, the latest Jeep wrangler lease may be the perfect SUV Jeep lease that you have been longing for. Also, the upper trims offer the most novel infotainment systems, with an 8.4-inch touchscreen display, delivering you a pleasurable ride.

2020 Jeep Grand Cherokee

Grand Cherokee will forever be a premium SUV. The 2020 model year of the Jeep Grand Cherokee is very much refined, with the best tech amenities and high capacity performance both on and off the road. Nothing beats this Jeep model in offering similar, yet distinct trims to meet up all needs and appeals of different auto lovers. This has no doubt worked out, as the Jeep Grand Cherokee lease has attracted lovers of diverse taste.

Regardless of what you’re looking for, interior luxuries, off-road abilities, or stocky and smooth handling, the Grand Cherokee got you covered. Another remarkable quality of this new Jeep model is its best-in-class tow rating of 7,200 pounds and a user-friendly infotainment system.

The Wrangler Against The Grand Cherokee

Engine And Performance

The engine design of the Wrangler and the Grand Cherokee is quite different. Where the Wrangler boasts of a gasoline engine and a turbocharged engine that teams up with an electric motor to provide additional low-end power; the Grand Cherokee has a brawnier engine option.

Two engine options power the engine of the Wrangler- a 3.6-liter V-6 that gives off a 285 horsepower, which can be paired to a six-speed manual gearbox or a smooth-shifting eight-speed automatic. This engine is standard in all trims. Also, an optional 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine that gets 270-horsepower is linked to an electric motor that produces extra power for the Jeep wrangler.

The new Grand Cherokee comes with four engine options, with a V-6 as the base engine. This base engine produces a 295-horsepower. However, there’s an optional V-8 which is available only on limited trims. The V-6 engine makes for an applaudable power. It perfectly suits the Grand Cherokee’s heft and permitting seamless handling and maneuver. The Cherokee’s towing capacity stands at 6200 pounds for V-6 models and remarkable 7200 pounds with the V-8. This also adds to the portfolio of the premium Jeep SUV.

Fuel Economy

The Grand Cherokee offers a more impressive fuel economy compared to the Jeep Wrangler.  It provides more quality in driving around town and on the highway than the Wrangler.The standard V-6 engine of the most current Grand Cherokee delivered an EPA rating of 25 mpg.

The V-6–powered four-door Wrangler gives an EPA rating of 23 mpg on the highway. The turbocharged four-cylinder hybrid model fared much better, delivering 26 mpg.

Interior

When it comes to interior touch, the Grand Cherokee offers a more upscale interior. Although, the Wrangler’s cabin styling is minimalist and modern, in tech-savviness, the Grand Cherokee is way ahead. The materials of the Wrangler gives a sturdy feel, with touches of several hard plastics. Also, the interior is a little noisy on the highway, more synonymous with trims with a soft-top roof.

The Jeep Grand Cherokee’s cabin has a reliable build quality. Also, upscale supple leathers occupy vital places in the cabin. Its sporty styling sets this SUV apart from most close rivals, including the Wrangler. Also, the infotainment system makes for easy usage. The menu can be easily customized with your favorite shortcuts.

However, both models share similar features like the heated front seats and steering wheel and standard leather upholstery.

Cargo Capacity

The Grand Cherokee is larger than the Wrangler.  The Wrangler is available in two body styles; the two-door Wrangler with four-passenger seating capacity and the four-door Wrangler Unlimited with up to five-passenger capacity. The Grand Cherokee is a two-row SUV with five passenger seating capacity.

The rear seats of the four-door Wrangler make a 32 cubic feet of cargo space, and 72 cubic feet of space when they are folded. The Grand Cherokee rear seats make for a 36.3 cubic feet space and a 68.3 cubic feet when you fold the 60/40-split second row.

All in all, the Grand Cherokee offers a lower cargo space for an SUV in its class, whereas, the Wrangler makes for excellent cargo space for a compact SUV.

Safety

Safety has been one of the remarkable qualities of all Jeep models. Between the 2020 Jeep Wrangler and the 2020 Jeep Grand Cherokee, the Grand Cherokee has more active safety features.

Car Dealerships In Philadelphia Burglarized For Automobiles & Money

The Philadelphia Police Service is looking for several suspects involved in burglaries in the last two weeks.

“On October 28 and November 4, P & W and A & M were robbed, perhaps by the same people, and we are working as they could be connected to,” said investigator Wade Akins.

Akins said the owners of both lots are very unhappy. He added that several items, including a car, were stolen during the first burglary.

“At P & W’s first visit, two masks for children and a vehicle tag were confiscated; a vehicle was confiscated from A & M. The vehicle was found and the two masks were in a trash bin next to the vehicle. They have affixed to the vehicle the label they have taken on the other batch of cars, “said Akins.

Akins said the objects had been found at Westside Park. A week later, Akins stated that the two lots were again affected, but no flights were reported.

“We have a video of P & W on both occasions and we are just trying to find out who they are. We know two black men the first time and a black and white man on the second occasion,” said Akins.

Akins said that if the police considered all the possibilities, he did not think that any of these incidents were linked to the recent series of car thefts in Neshoba County.

If you have information about breaking, contact the Philadelphia Police Department or your local Crime Stoppers.

It’s imperative that residents living around Car dealerships in Philadelphia stay vigilant and be very careful. Always alert the cops when you notice anything untoward, or spot any unusual or sinister activity, to help curb the rate these car dealerships are being robbed.

Jeep Cherokee Vs Grand Cherokee: Decide Which Is Right For You

It can be argued that the original Jeep Cherokee was the first machine to sell itself as a family-friendly platform, offering more than a handful of off-road capabilities. As we know, this segment now occupies a considerable share of sales in North America.

Today’s Jeep Cherokee shares a lot with its 1983 ancestor. For 2020, a new design style remains true to the roots of Jeep, but it gives a feeling more upscale than ever. A wide selection of engines and trim levels ensures Jeep dealers that they have something to sell to everyone.

Ten years after the first Cherokee appeared, Jeep launched the Grand Cherokee in a thriving SUV market. This machine offered a spacious interior combined with a grunt off-road, a blend that proved to be a hit with customers. In 2020, the Grand Cherokee has the assets to attract a very varied clientele. Four different 4 × 4 systems, a variety of trims and a range of engines up to hundreds of horsepower mean that if a customer wants a Grand Cherokee but cannot find one he likes, he does not look pretty hard, most times in the situations of trying to lease a Jeep.

What’s the best way to cut the marketing pitch and choose the Jeep that’s right for you? Let us help you.

JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE

In 2020, the Jeep Grand Cherokee ranks 4th among the mid-size SUVs, one of the most competitive categories in the automotive market. The last Grand Cherokee does not get any substantial changes from the previous year. This year, however, the diesel engine is no longer available. The interior is deliciously modern, with an abundance of standard technology, security features and comfort. The last Grand Cherokee has enough off-road prowess to conquer virtually every trail he encounters. And with the optional V8 engines that deliver substantial power and unparalleled towing capacity, rest assured that the Grand Cherokee 2020 will accompany you wherever you go.

Many versions are available in this year’s Grand Cherokee family. They start with the basic trim called Laredo. The Laredo is offered with two or four-wheel drive. Its luxurious interior includes a double-glazed moonroof that allows you and your passengers to enjoy the night sky, the sun and the fresh air whenever you want. Technology is at the forefront, even in the base trim, which features an infotainment system that supports Android Auto and Apple CarPlay. A Wi-Fi hotspot available with a radius of 15 meters around the vehicle keeps you connected even in the most exceptional adventures. Depending on the trim you choose, you will get fabric or leather seats with your Grand Cherokee. On the high-end versions, the front seats are also ventilated. They come in several color options so you can choose your favorite look and style. Custom accent seams, also available on the highest finishes, add to the special appeal of the Grand Cherokee. A high-end Harmon Kardon audio system with 19 speakers and a subwoofer is another highlight.

The Grand Cherokee 2020 is impressive in all categories, including capacity. The maximum towing capacity of 7,200 pounds is another asset of the Grand Cherokee 2020. When combined with the appropriate towing equipment, the Grand Cherokee can carry your belongings anywhere. The Grand Cherokee is equipped with two-wheel drive and available four-wheel-drive systems that help you manage the toughest conditions more easily. You will also have the choice of four engines with this SUV. The base is a 3.6L with six cylinders. It produces 295 horsepower and 260 lb-ft of torque. The top is a supercharged V8 that delivers 707 HP and 645 LB-FT of torque.

JEEP CHEROKEE

The Jeep Cherokee 2020 is packed with interior luxury and true capabilities, a compact SUV that ranks as the smallest in the Jeep small crossover range. This agile and rigid SUV offers a huge cargo volume for a small crossover, an authentic all-terrain experience, a height capacity and a host of luxurious interior options that are all too appealing. This may be your next SUV in 2020. Inside, you have a large intuitive and dynamic touch screen 8.4 inches, easy to use and fully integrable on a Smartphone. The interior appearance of perforated leather comes in colors such as Black / Gray Ski with bovine stitching (Overland logo included in this one too). A CommandView® double glazed panoramic sunroof is available on most versions, allowing you to enjoy the outdoors from your beautiful Cherokee interior. The features offer you an unrivaled towing capacity of 4,500 pounds. Choose from different all-wheel-drive systems that Jeep has explicitly designed for the Cherokee and enjoy a 270-horsepower 2-liter Turbo engine (equipped with a nine-speed automatic transmission). Two other engine choices give you a lot of choices.

WHICH ONE TO GO FOR?

While 4,500 pounds is not stunning, the 7,200-lb. Robustness of the 2020 Jeep Grand Cherokee with Hemi propulsion cannot be ignored. Even the less powerful V6 versions are capable of carrying 6,200 lbs when equipped with the optional package described above. If you need the ability to tow a boat or something big, the Grand Cherokee should be considered a little brother.

However, if good things happen in small packages, then the 2020 Cherokee must be very good, indeed. Despite a smaller footprint on the sidewalk and a smaller shade, the Cherokee has more interior space measured for passengers but notes that it is slightly narrower in the cabin in general. Blame (or credit) its front-drive wheels, which make the most of the space thanks to a more compact transmission system. This is one of the rare cases where a customer gets more for less.

With a new face for 2020, the Jeep Cherokee repairs one of the major flaws of its predecessor, as it wore a face that only a relative could overcome. Unless you need the extra additional space and room which the Grand Cherokee provides, the Cherokee itself should be a smart addition to many households looking for a beautiful 4 × 4 capable of carrying the family without to pack up when the winter travel goes sideways.

New Electric Car Tax Proposal In Pennsylvania: Pros & Cons

Several states charge owners of electric vehicles a fee that experts and consumer advocates claim is higher than those paid by drivers of gasoline-equivalent gasoline vehicles, which could discourage important technology respectful of the environment.

Almost all states apply gasoline taxes to finance transportation projects. The owners of electric vehicles avoid them because electric vehicles do not consume gasoline. But many legislatures are considering additional fees to ensure that all vehicle owners pay for the roads.

A new Consumer Reports analysis shows that of the 26 states that currently apply EV charges, 11 charges more than the amount that gasoline-like car owners pay in gasoline taxes, and three charge more than double. And the trend is potentially to increase taxes on electric vehicles: among the 12 states reviewing proposals, ten would have higher taxes than a driver would pay on average gasoline taxes. Seven of these states would increase fees over time to twice the amount.

PENNSYLVANIA EV TAX PROPOSAL

Pennsylvania House Bill 1392 on electric cars proposes to set a poorly designed state tax on “alternative” transportation fuels by imposing duties on electric vehicles while leaving other types of alternative fuel vehicles subject to imperfect tax. In its initial version, HB 1392 provided an annual fee of US $150 for non-commercial electric vehicles. In September, the House amended HB 1392 to increase the fee to $250. (The House also added $75 for hybrid electric vehicles that use electric batteries as the “primary source of energy”).

PROS

The federal electric car tax credit (or EV tax credit) can be used by buyers and electric cars, or by the car dealership to reduce the base price of a lease. This effectively reduces monthly rents within comparable or even lower ranges than comparable gasoline vehicles.

CONS

The co-sponsorship memorandum for HB 1392 indicates that the alternative fuel tax is “confusing and difficult to administer,” and that most electric vehicle owners do not pay the taxes they owe “because that the payment process … is tedious or are not aware that they have to do it.” There is no doubt that the alternative fuel tax is confusing, and NRDC understands that some electric vehicle owners (and other owners of alternative fuel vehicles) are not paying all the taxes they should. This is a problem that the General Assembly should resolve so that drivers of all vehicles pay their fair share for Pennsylvania’s transportation infrastructure.

The question, however, is what is right?

Is it right to charge fees for electric vehicles while leaving all other alternative fuel vehicles subject to the alternative fuel tax (and probably also underpayment to the Ministry of Revenue)?

Is it right to impose these fees in addition to the taxes on the gross receipts paid by electric vehicle drivers and by drivers of other alternative fuel vehicles?

Is it right to suggest that electric vehicle drivers pay taxes comparable to those paid by the owner of a “gasoline car” in gasoline taxes since this average includes many gasoline drinkers who pollute much more air in Pennsylvania than electric vehicles?

The answer to these questions is no. And there are better ways to tax electric vehicles and pay for transport infrastructure.

GMC Vs RAM Models: 2020 GMC Sierra Vs. RAM 1500

The GMC and Dodge Ram are both reputable for offering excellent pickup trucks. If you’d ever use a Ram truck, you would definitely fall in love with its big-rig and styling. The trucks are rugged and very reliable for all terrains; it is certainly made for the road. Also, Ram offers luxurious trims with plenty of chrome and bare-bones models, too, plus a line of Fiat-sourced commercial vans. If you are a fan of a diesel pickup truck, the 2020 GMC Sierra is the one for you. The new GMC truck is fully diesel-powered, with an efficient engine and a couple of updates here and there.

However, when it comes to selecting the best pickup truck that can suit well with your needs for power, reliability, and capability, it could be quite an overwhelming task choosing from these two top pickup brands. Our side by side comparison of the 2019 to 2020 Ram and 2020 GMC Sierra will let you in on all you need to know before deciding on which new full-size truck is right for you.

Interior

The interior of the new Ram is well-built and uses nice materials throughout, added by lots of clever touches throughout the cabin that shows Ram is paying attention to the interior. It features distressed wood, Western-style filigree metal, and perforated leather seats. All these are arranged in a mix to create a sense of luxury and comfort. The interior of the new Sierra falls below expectations, making it one of the huge low point in the truck. It features hard and unappealing plastic. Although Sierra’s interior can be said to be perfectly serviceable, that’s all about it. Aside from the luxurious appeal of the Ram 1500 interior, it also highlights it with a classic infotainment technology.

Engine And Performance

There’s little information available for the engine of the 2020 RAM; however, it is expected to come with a couple of engineering changes. The engine is likely to be the third generation 3.0-liter Ecodiesel V-6, having the same size as the preceding engine, but almost entirely different from the 3.0 L V-6 diesel in the older Classic model. The 3.0L diesel low noise engine also generates more torque (which is necessary for towing) than most close rivals. The RAM’s Black Edition, a limited model, offers three different drivetrains; two gas options and a diesel. The base gasoline that produces a 305 horsepower and 269 pound-feet is FCA’s already iconic 3.6-liter Pentastar V-6. The engine’s eTorque makes it more of a mild hybrid.

The 2020 Sierra comes with a new 3.0-liter turbodiesel available as an option. Also, a 5.3-liter V8 engine paired with a 10-speed automatic is available. Relative to the 2019 Ram, the 2020 Sierra’s 3.0 turbo diesel produces 191 pounds-feet more torque than the Ram 1500’s standard 3.6 DOHC V6 hybrid (460 against 269). Also, it produces more torque than the RAM.

The available ten-speed automatic on the GMC Sierra makes for better acceleration and lower engine speed on the highway. Also, the higher torque in the GMC Sierra 1500 does a much better job of transmitting the horsepower of the engine to the wheels than the Ram 1500.

Towing

The new diesel engine in the latest Ram is designed to be lighter, longer, and stiffer than before. The diesel has a maximum towing rating of 12, 560 pounds. It also permits a payload of up to 2,300 pounds in its cab and bed, in addition to its towing capacity. Compared to its close competitors, the Ram has a close to the best towing capacity. The current Sierra, with the engine under its hood, permits a maximum towing rating of 9,100 pounds. It also can haul up to 1,830 pounds of payload. The diesel-powered engine version in the 2020 Dodge Ram can out-tow the 2020 GMC Sierra by been able to pull 12, 560 pounds.

Fuel Economy

On the EPA test cycle, the Sierra engine gets a fuel mileage of 15 to 20 mpg city and 20 to 24 highway while the Ram V6 engine gives a 19 to 20 mpg city and 24 to 26 mpg highway. The Ram will cause you to always make a stop at the gas station than the Sierra all due to its fuel economy and tank size.

Passenger Space

With a passenger seating capacity of 3 to 6, the latest Sierra 1500 offers passengers in its extended cab about the same head- and legroom as the Ram 1500. The new Ram, however, has a 5 to 6 passenger seating capacity. The GMC Sierra is the best bet for tall drivers and their passengers since it has a much greater head- and legroom than the RAM 1500.

Safety features

The Ram and the GMC seem to have always paid much attention to details when it comes to safety. Both the 2020 Sierra and the 2020 Ram 1500 is fully fitted with standard driver and front passenger airbags, front side-impact airbags, side-impact head airbags, front seatbelt pretensioners, four-wheel antilock brakes, crash mitigating brakes, rearview cameras, blind-spot warning systems, daytime running lights, electronic stability systems to prevent skidding, traction control, lane departure warning systems, and rear cross-path warning. Besides, the new Sierra offers an optional bed-view and trailer cameras to the lineup and adaptive cruise control in its other trims.

Dimension

Ram, in its 2020 model year, gets a wheelbase of 144.6 inches, length of 232.9 inches, a width of 82.1 inches, and a height of 77.6 inches. In a tight parking spot, you can always count on the new GMC Sierra 1500 to get in and out of your car easier as they come with a slightly narrower dimension. However, in overall length, the new GMC Sierra can stand its ground firmly against the Ram.

Handling

The 2020 GMC Sierra 1500 and the Ram 1500 both offer a similar turning radius. They can be maneuvered in and out of tight spots with much ease. However, the new Sierra offers a driver-adjustable suspension system. This system permits drivers to choose between an extra-supple ride, reducing fatigue on long trips, or a sport setting, which allows maximum control for tricky roads.

Pricing

The cost of the new Ram 1500 and the GMC Sierra is relatively the same. The 2020 GMC Sierra costs $29,600 at MSRP. The 2020 Ram 1500 goes for $32,145 at MSRP. However, in consideration of the delivery price, the GMC Sierra 1500 costs less than the Ram 1500.

The Difference Between Car Leasing And Car Buying

Should I lease or buy a car? This is one of the most frequently asked questions when it comes to auto leasing. If you are the type of buyer who gives a name to your vehicle and hangs on to it well into its golden years-well past the point that the vehicle has been paid for; you need not concern yourself with a lease. However, if you’re the type of buyer that is always in the auto market every couple of years, then you should consider leasing.

However, it is necessary to understand what leasing entails as it could be a great option for your next vehicle purchase. Leasing is likened to rent in real estate. The leased car is still a property of the lessor (the manufacturer, or leasing company) and you simply make a monthly payment that represents the depreciation of the vehicle plus the leaser’s profit.

In today’s auto world, with the average cost of a new vehicle continually raising, it is now more important than ever to fully understand the options of vehicle leasing.

Benefits In Leasing A Car

Lower Monthly Payments

When you secure a car on lease, you’re only required to pay the monthly premiums as payment for the vehicle’s depreciation. This simply means that the car leaseholder is just paying the premiums as the payment for using the car until the entire lease period is completed. No down payment or any upfront sales tax is required.

On the other hand, to purchase a vehicle, the buyer is required to make the appropriate down payment. The total payment provided throughout the entire lease period is almost equal to 50% of the actual value of the vehicle while financing requires the loan holder to pay the entire cost of the car. However, you might incur extra charges at the end of the leasing term for racking up mileage that exceeds the allowable limit, terminating a lease early, or having any unrepaired damage.

Warranty and Maintenance Coverage

Most lease term has a manufacturer’s warranty; you do need not worry about the cost of repairs and maintenance. Your leasing company handles all the problems that may arise. The term of the lease for periodic maintenance gives you a low and predictable total cost of ownership, with few unexpected out-of-pocket expenses. However, irrespective of the lease term, you’re still responsible for regular upkeep and the minimum amount of auto insurance required by the state where you live.

Driving A New Car With Advanced Features

Constant leasing of cars gives you a rare chance always to have a taste of a new ride. As its common with new rides, you get the benefit of driving a car with the most advanced tech features like top-notch infotainment system, advanced safety features like driver assistance technology, such as automatic emergency braking, adaptive cruise control, lane keep assist, and semi-autonomous driving systems and improved fuel economy ride (depending on the car model).

No Need For Loan Approval

Quite unlike buying a car via car loan, leasing doesn’t need much bureaucratic process, stellar credit and strict terms before you will secure a lease deal because the vehicle can be taken back if you violate any leasing term.

No Worries With Car Sales

At the end of the lease term, you return the car to your leasing company and might opt to lease another vehicle or even use your buy option at the lease term.  However, you need not concern yourself with selling the car or getting a fair trade-in value.

No Need For Sales Tax

Leasing a car can save you a huge amount of money in sales tax. Although this can be influenced by the laws in your area. When you purchase a car, you’re liable for sales tax on the whole purchase price.

The Downsides Of Car Leasing

Restriction On Use

The disgusting thing about leasing a car is that it comes with several strict limitations on where you drive your car and what you can drive it for. Your car lease agreement may not allow you to drive the car out of the country; if you intend on doing such, you need to get permission from your leasing company. However, it is wise to go through your leasing agreement with your leasing company if you intend to extend beyond the conventional routine driving.

No Ownership Right, Yet

Every leased vehicle is still the property of the leasing company. Leasing a car doesn’t automatically make you the car owner. The lessor grants you access to the car for some time and under some conditions as stipulated by the lease deal.  

The Strict Vehicle Maintenance Schedule

Although, your leasing company takes care of all the major repairs and maintenance expenses, however, you are required as from the lease agreement to carry out a strict maintenance schedule for the vehicle that they are leasing to you. The scheduled maintenance adheres to the set of procedures prescribed by the car manufacturers. Failure to strictly follow the scheduled maintenance procedures set by the leasing contract would require the leaseholder to pay some penalties by the end of the lease term.

In Most Cases, You Must Purchase Gap Insurance

Limited Car Mileage, You Pay Extra When You Exceed The Given Mileage

Expensive Early Termination Fees

Benefits Of Buying A Car

Full ownership of the car

No mileage limit or nay restrictions

Ability customize the vehicle to your taste

No risk of possible lease-end charges

Option to sell it

The Downside Of Buying A Car

More Expensive in the Short Term

Need to make a down payment

High fee on sales tax

More loan than your car is worth

Once the warranty runs out, you’ll be solely responsible for repair costs

In conclusion, the decision to lease or buy a car is all personal. It’s just like deciding between going for a mortgage and renting a house.  A thorough self-examination will help you decide. Your creditworthiness and style of living will also come to play.
