The Environmental Protection rates the four cylinder at twenty-one miles per gallon in city driving, and thirty miles per gallon in highway driving. Maximum towing capacity for the 2.4 liter engine is one thousand pounds when properly equipped with a towing package, but fuel economy ratings will be lower when towing any items. The next available engine option is a 2.7 liter six cylinder engine. The 2.7 liter six cylinder has an output rating of one hundred seventy-eight horsepower and one hundred ninety pound feet of torque. The 2.7 liter engine features a dual overhead cam layout and sequential port fuel injection. The EPA rates the 2.7 liter six cylinder at eighteen miles per gallon on the city circuit and twenty-six miles per gallon on the the highway circuit.
We’ll be launching with this vehicle a system, we’re calling “My Gig,” developed in conjunction with Harmon/Kardon. It includes a navigation system, it has a 20 gig hard drive built into it, it has a USB port, as well as mp3 plug, so you can plug in your iPod or other mp3 player. It has voice-activated navigation, it has voice-activated Bluetooth technology for your cell phones, so it’s all hands-free communication. It has a music juke box so you can organize your music on your system as well as video playback capability when the vehicle is in the “park” position as well as photos. So you can actually store photos of your family, loved ones, pet, or whatever so you can have a slide show on the screen.
