2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee 3.0 TDI

Just some info. I dont know if these are out to the public yet, but my fiance's cousin does testing for Jeep, drove one out here to Denver, and then let me drive some passes. It averaged 27 or 28mpg for the whole trip but was getting 22mpg when I was driving it in the mountains. The transmission felt nice but slow to shift with the paddles, power wasnt awesome but it wasnt a complete dog either. All in all, I think it is a comfy ride but probably wouldnt pick one up just because I dont like the exterior.

He was saying that he doesnt think people will be turning big power with these ever, and not even in the mid power range for a long time because the ECU is so locked down and the fuel system isnt meant to support much more than stock. I bet a tuner for the trans and fuelling will help a lot but not like it does on 6.4's or anything crazy.
 
Each cylinder has a central direct injector with cooled EGR (exhaust gas recirculation) as an integral part of the cylinder heads. The vacuum pump is incorporated into one of the camshafts for greater efficiency and the oil pump is a rotary vane type.

i like the idea of SCR but vacuum pump? and vane oil pump???? the wife really wants one, dont know yet
