Hands-free capabilities can make interacting with your vehicle's infotainment system safer because it allows you to tune the stereo or change navigation inputs while maintaining control of the steering.Â
Most vehicles offer Bluetooth connectivity options. Additionally, some have wheel-mounted buttons. These are technically not "hands-free," but they allow you to keep in command of the car and alter audio settings at the same time.Â
Additionally, a media centre with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility allows you to connect your phone to the interface. If the vehicle has voice controls, you can then interact directly with your device hands-free.Â
For example, with the Uconnect system on Dodge, Jeep, and Ram autos, you can text, call, adjust settings, select apps, and stream through the car's interface without touching your phone.Â
If you would like to see the features available with the Uconnect media centre, contact our Jeep, Chrysler, Dodge, and Ram dealership in Calgary today.Â
Accident avoidance systems can help keep you and your passengers safer on the road. Which of these protection tools are the most effective and widely offered?Â
Blind-spot monitoring and rear cross-path detection are standard on some autos, including the 2021 Jeep Cherokee Limited. Both use sensors to provide alerts that can protect you from common collision scenarios when moving in reverse or changing lanes.Â
Of course, high-tech traits are not a replacement for front and side curtain airbags, child-seat anchors, and three-point belts. These should be included on every new vehicle you purchase.

Turbocharged engines are typically small and light. However, the way they operate allows them to generate significantly more power than their conventional peers.Â
This extra muscle gets produced by using exhaust to push excess air into the engine, forcing it to burn more fuel per second. Because the emissions don't get wasted, the process is exceptionally efficient overall. Â
An example of the advantages of this setup comes from the 2021 Jeep Cherokee. Its standard 3.2L Pentastar V6 produces 271 horsepower and 239 lb.-ft of torque. The available 2.0L turbo I-4 creates 270 hp and 295 lb.-ft despite being much smaller.Â

4x4 can make negotiating Calgary roads during the winter much easier. Though some vehicles rely on permanent all-wheel drive, others have shiftable AWD.Â
For example, Jeep Active Drive I is standard on 2021 Cherokee and Compass models. This design has full-time FWD, but you can engage the rear axle when needed to get extra traction. Many Ram pickups boast a similar option.Â
What is the advantage of a changeable drivetrain?Â
Since FWD cars and trucks require less power, it leads to better fuel efficiency. Engaging the AWD system only when you need it can save money at the gas pump.

All 2021 Jeep Cherokees come with a Uconnect media centre and a touchscreen interface. What can you expect from this feature?Â

There are two screen sizes. The 2021 Cherokee Sport and North boast seven-inch screens, while all other trims have 8.4-inch displays. A navigation function comes with High Altitude, Trailhawk Elite, and 80th Anniversary models.Â
