Manley believes demand for a diesel-powered Wrangler continues to grow. “I’m confident that the Grand Cherokee will show just how large a demand there is for diesel, and I think what that will do is reinforce the need for us to target Wrangler as a vehicle that can take a diesel,” he told Wards.

For the 2014 model year, Jeep added a 240-horsepower, 3.0-liter diesel V-6 to the Grand Cherokee lineup. It’ll also be offered on the Ram 1500. Check out our review of the new diesel Grand Cherokee here.
