European Jeep Grand Cherokee Gets New Diesel!
The European Version of the 2005 Jeep Grand Cherokee (HK) gets a 3.0-litre V-6 CRD...
3.0-litre V-6 CRD (mated with W5-A580 transmission, 3.55 axle ratio)
The all-new 3.0-litre V-6 CRD engine is a “next-generation” power unit from the DaimlerChrysler Group producing class-leading levels of power and torque, with good fuel economy. With Bosch high-pressure fuel injection (2000+ bar), a variable geometry turbocharger and four valves per cylinder, the new engine meets Euro 4 emissions standards without a diesel particulate filter. Maximum power is 218 hp (160 kW) and peak torque is 376 lb.-ft. (510 N•m) from just 1800 rpm.
For the diesel engine, a kick-down switch is now added to the accelerator pedal. This detent, reached before the full travel of the pedal, is intended to reduce transmission kick-downs during normal driving but still allow for full pedal travel when a quicker acceleration is wanted by the driver.
Availability: Laredo and Limited models
Type: Diesel, common-rail direct injection, six-cylinder, 72-degree V-type
Capacity: 3.0L (2987cc/182 cu. in.)
Maximum power: 160 kW (218 hp DIN) @ 3800 rpm
Maximum torque: 510 N•m (376 lb.-ft.) @ 1600-2800 rpm
Compression ratio: 18.0:1
Bore and stroke: 83.0 x 92.0 mm (3.27 x 3.62 in.)
Camshafts: Twin camshafts
Valve system: 24 valves, 2 intake and 2 exhaust per cylinder
Fuel system: Direct injection, high-pressure common rail
Construction: Aluminium block with aluminium cylinder heads
Maximum engine speed: 4200 rpm, electronically limited
Fuel recommendation: Diesel, 50 ppm maximum sulphur
Emission controls: Two diesel oxidation catalysts at the close-coupled and toeboard positions
Emission class: Euro 4
