Two Jeep Cherokee concepts for Moab 2014

In addition to a trio of Wrangler concepts, Jeep and Mopar together have prepared two Cherokee specials for this year’s Easter Jeep Safari in Moab, Utah.

The Cherokee Adventurer looks almost showroom-ready. Based on the Trailhawk trim grade, it rides on unique 17” two-tone wheels equipped with BFGoodrich All-Terrain tyres. Improved off-road capability is promised by front-mounted tow hooks and skid plates for the oil tank, fuel tank, suspension and underbody.

Undoubtedly the Adventurer’s most unusual feature is a ‘roof basket’. Finished in matte black, it’s basically a fancy roof rack that uses a bungee net to secure cargo.

Much more radical is the Cherokee Dakar. Riveted wheel arch extensions accommodate 33” BFGoodrich Mud Terrain tyres, while a suspension lift and prototype bumpers allow for approach and departure angles of 32° and 39° respectively. Also fitted are rock rails and numerous skid plates.

On the inside, the Cherokee Dakar has leather upholstery, a cargo tray, all-weather floor mats and doorsill guards.

The 2014 Easter Jeep Safari begins on the 12th of April and lasts for eight days.

Alfa MiTo TwinAir arrives

The Alfa Romeo MiTo supermini is now available with the innovative two-cylinder TwinAir petrol engine. Although its capacity is only 875 cc, a turbocharger and the MultiAir electro-hydraulic valve control system mean it produces a respectable 83 bhp (62 kW / 85 PS) and 145 Nm (103 lb/ft) of torque. Performance might not be scintillating - the 0-62 mph (100 km/h) sprint takes 12.5 seconds and maximum speed is 108 mph (173 km/h) - but the TwinAir’s trump card is efficiency. Carbon dioxide emissions are only 98 g/km, a level that brings numerous benefits for UK drivers including zero road tax, a full discount on the London Congestion Charge and qualification for the lowest company car benefit-in-kind rate. Fuel economy is also decent and, according to the official figures, a TwinAir-powered MiTo will manage 67.3 mpg (4.2 l/100km) on the combined cycle. Impressive maybe, but still some way off the 78.5 mpg (3.6 l/100km) of the existing 1.3 JTDM-2 diesel MiTo. However, any
