Who would have thought? – a nine-speed transmission

Jeep Cherokee Nine-Speed Transmission

A nine-speed transmission. This is something that wouldn’t have even crossed our minds years back. All vehicles had four or five speeds. That’s all we needed, and all we would ever need. Or so we thought. But the Chrysler brand had other ideas. New vehicles like the upcoming Cherokee will be fitted with the transmission. The Jeep Cherokee nine-speed transmission means greater fuel efficiency for consumers – and a smoother overall ride. Imagine your typical ride. With an automatic transmission, you can definitely feel when the vehicle shifts. But with nine speeds, the Cherokee can gradually get up to top speed while going through nine gears. There is a lot going on in there, but all the while you feel very little while sitting in the vehicle. And just like the Jeep Cherokee nine-speed transmission provides a smooth ride, it also saves gas in the same way. The next gear can continually engage at a lower RPM, meaning that the vehicle is ultimately using less gas as it accelerates. Shifting has come a long way on vehicles. So will we keep seeing vehicles add more gears for these same benefits? We can’t imagine it getting too much more extreme than nine gears being that it all has to work as smoothly inside the transmission as it feels on the outside. But just like the days of four and five-speeds, we could be wrong. We never thought we would see more than five back then, so you never really know for sure. While other Chrysler brand vehicles will be getting the new transmission, it’s intriguing that it is coming on the all-new 2014 Cherokee. There is already such buzz around the vehicle, and this just adds to it. We can’t wait to finally receive the first shipment of the 2014 Jeep Cherokee here at Palmen Motors.
