Chrysler Group Brand named Most Ideal by AutoPacific

During AutoPacific’s 2011 Ideal Vehicle Awards, the Chrysler Group brand took the title of most Ideal Popular Brand through owner’s ratings of our 2011 cars and trucks.

Also, our Jeep Grand Cherokee was named Most Ideal Mid-size SUV, our Chrysler Town & Country took the title of Most Ideal Minivan and our Dodge Challenger was named Most Ideal Sports Car in their respective classes.

The President and Chief Executive Officer of Chrysler Brand, Olivier Francois said about this accomplishment:

“It’s an honor for the Chrysler brand to be recognized by AutoPacific. Recognition by the customers who buy and evaluate our vehicles proves we take consumer input very seriously in all the vehicles we design and build at Chrysler.”

So.. how exactly do you get the title of an Ideal Vehicle? Well, these vehicles are rated on owner ratings of 15 key attributes. These attributes included: power and acceleration, ride and handling, interior roominess and cargo space.

More than 72,000 vehicle owners were surveyed by AutoPacific and were asked if they would change characteristics of their vehicles. Cars and trucks with the least amount of changes are recognized as most ideal.

2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee

Buyers of the 2011 Dodge Challenger, which took top honors as the Ideal Vehicle for Sporty Cars, won with owners liking its exterior size, cargo room and seat comfort. Challenger, equipped with a new Pentastar 3.6-liter V-6 engine that pushes out 305 horsepower, is a favorite among the sporty group, which lists power among the top attributes they want in sporty vehicles. For 2011, Challenger also includes a 5.7- or 6.4-liter HEMI® V-8 engine.

Jeep Grand Cherokee, also new for 2011, claimed top honors with owners complimenting the seat comfort, ride, exterior size and exterior styling. The newest Jeep Grand Cherokee features an all-new Quadra-Lift air suspension system and a new Selec-Terrain system, which enables the driver to choose the drive system that best matches on- or off-road driving conditions.

Chrysler Town & Country, the most Ideal Minivan in the study, benefitted in 2011 with a brand new interior, new powertrain with available all-wheel drive and more than 40 standard safety features, including ParkView rear back-up camera, Blind Spot Monitoring and Rear Cross Path detection. For passengers, Uconnect Web transforms the minivan into a hot spot for Internet access, making the Town & Country the ultimate family vehicle.
