2021 Dodge Durango Citadel near El Paso TX Gets More Power

 The 2021 Dodge Durango Citadel near El Paso TX is the understated and refined one in the Durango lineup; with so many premium features delivered as standard, its performance dripping with luxury.

Even though it's about time for a new generation, Dodge announced a refresh for the 2021 model year. But what a meaningful refresh it is! The current Durango model has been updated with a fresh looking front that uses elements of the Dodge Charger widebody, a new dash design, modernized powertrains, and the newest tech. While much has been said about the high-performance models like the R/T, SRT, and brand new SRT Hellcat; not much has been said about the luxury-oriented Citadel.

To begin with, the 2021 Dodge Durango Citadel near El Paso is offered with two powertrain choices, which both include standard towing equipment. The standard 3.6-liter V-6 boasts up to 295 horsepower and 260 lb-ft of torque. The other option is a 5.7-liter HEMI V-8 with 360hp and 390 lb-ft of torque.

No matter which engine you choose, the Durango Citadel comes standard with trailer-tow equipment which includes Class IV hitch and trailer receivers, an integrated trailer brake switch and brake controller, a full-size spare tire, heavy-duty engine oil cooler, and rear load-leveling shocks.

2021 Dodge Durango Citadel near El Paso TX: More Aggressive

Along with the refreshed, more aggressive looking front fascia that the entire Durango lineup received, the Citadel boasts exclusive and upscale accents and cues, such as platinum chrome door handles, mirror caps, assorted body trim and dual rear exhaust tips, and 20x8 inch wheels. There are now three different grille textures presented on the Durango, with the Citadel getting the Granite Crystal painted finish. And since the Citadel is offered as the premium luxury model (think class and elegance), there's no sporty air scoop on the hood. There are however, fog lights, LED head- and taillights, roof rails, and a cool s poiler in back.

All 2021 Durango models get a redesigned interior that's very similar to the Challenger in look and feel. But inside is where the 2021 Dodge Durango Citadel near El Paso really shows its sumptuousness. Like the Challenger, the new models have a lush interior, with screens angled toward the driver, and a small panel that divides the shifter area from the passenger seat. The spacious cabin also has a newly designed instrument panel, center console, and front door uppers. There's more soft-wrapped and accent stitched surrounds, and a revamped console that offers more storage and wireless charging. It's cultured and polished throughout, with seating for six, and provides heated and ventilated leather driver and passenger seats and heated second-row seats. These Nappa seats are embossed with "Dodge" stripes.

The newest Uconnect 5 infotainment system with a largest-in-class 10.1-inch touchscreen is stock in this model, with TomTom navigation, wireless Apple CarPlay/Android Auto/Amazon Alexa, and Sirius XM Radio. The full collection of safety features including Adaptive Cruise Control with Stop, Blind-spot monitoring, Lane Departure Warning, and more come standard in the Durango Citadel as well. And thankfully, all models keep actual physical knobs and buttons for HVAC controls and such.

The Dodge Durango combines the ruggedness and towing capability of an old school SUV with the comfortable ride, roomy interior, and nice handling of a car-based crossover. The 2021 Dodge Durango Citadel near El Paso pumps up the sophistication factor and is perfect for those who prefer luxury with performance.

Dodge Project Cars 3 in Las Cruces NM: Finally Available

 Do you enjoy gaming? Do you love American muscle cars? If you answered yes, Dodge Project CARS 3 in Las Cruces NM are now available in the best-selling racing simulation video game series.

First off, Project CARS 3 is the third installment in the Project CARS game franchise for Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and PCs via STEAM®. It includes more than 200 world-renowned brands of cars with true-to-life handling, stunning real-world and fictional race tracks, and bona-fide, all-season weather settings that actually affect your car's grip and performance. This game gets you as close as possible to the excitement of car racing without being the real deal. And this version finally features Dodge cars along with Bugatti and Lotus, to name a few.

Given its racing heritage, it's surprising that Dodge hadn't yet made an appearance in a prior Project CARS game (Project CARS 1 or 2). Nevertheless, you can now find Dodge among the roster of cars that extends over eight decades. So which Dodge Project CARS 3 in Las Cruces NM are on the list? There's a 2017 Dodge Viper ACR Racing model and a 2020 Dodge Challenger SRT HCR Racing model and a 2020 Challenger SRT Hellcat Redeye.

If you've always wanted to get behind the wheel of the famous Dodge Challenger but you don't know anyone who owns one and you can't justify trying to test drive one at a dealership - here's your chance! You can get behind the wheel of a virtual Challenger and feel the power for yourself! And if you love muscle cars like you say you do? Chances are it'll be love at first lap and you'll be determined you need the real thing!

Dodge Project Cars 3 in Las Cruces NM Features Dodge Challenger

So, how would it feel driving the simulated Challenger?  Well, in real life the 2020 SRT Hellcat Redeye gets its growl from a Supercharged 6.2 liter high-output HEMI SRT Hellcat Redeye V8 engine that can deliver up to 717 horsepower. Paired with the optional TorqueFlite® 8-speed automatic transmission, the Dodge Challenger is the fastest GT production car around. The Hellcat can reach a top speed of 199 mph, and does the quarter mile in 11.2 seconds. The Hellcat Redeye runs the quarter mile in 10.8 seconds at 131 mph. There's no doubt about it, based on horsepower, quarter mile, and 0-60 time, this is the most powerful muscle car available.

And just like the game Dodge Project CARS 3 in Las Cruces NM, you can customize every detail on your Challenger SRT Hellcat so that everybody knows it's you. You can even opt for the bigger and badder Hellcat Redeye Widebody, with fender flares that add 3.5 inches of width to deliver a menacing stance. That wide stance combined with 305/35ZR20 Pirelli PZERO all-season tires surrounding 20x11-inch Carbon Black forged aluminum wheels offer outstanding grip and handling performance.

 However, the Challenger SRT Hellcat Redeye is truly a dream car, with a price tag that may be fine for a  dream or a game with Dodge Project CARS 3 in Las Cruces NM, but out of reach for your actual life. That's okay, because at Viva Dodge, we have a Challenger that can be yours and still keep your monthly note within reach.

So, after you get a taste of a simulated drive you might start to justify a real test drive. You may feel like you need to try out the Challenger in the real world because gaming is just a taste, a bite, and you've developed an appetite for the whole enchilada!

Concept Released: 2021 Jeep Grand Wagoneer in Las Cruces NM

 Expected to arrive in mid-2021 in standard and extended wheelbase, Jeep gets into the three-row SUV game with the reintroduction of the 2021 Jeep Grand Wagoneer in Las Cruces NM.

As of this writing, Jeep has only released the concept form of this original luxury icon. However, it's expected to arrive with standard and extended wheelbases, a range of available engines which include electric or hybrid form, and a variety of four-wheel drive options.

No matter what, when the lavish Grand Wagoneer and Wagoneer do arrive, Jeep will finally have an offering in the large body-on-frame (built like a truck) SUV segment. The 2021 Jeep Wagoneer in Las Cruces NM will compete with the GMC Tahoe, Lincoln Navigator, Cadillac Escalade, and even Mercedes Benz and Land Rover.

The original Kaiser Jeep Wagoneer pioneered what we now know as the SUV segment of the automobile market. Then in 1984 the Grand Wagoneer demonstrated to Americans what a luxury SUV could be; remember that wood paneling? But that came to an end in 1993, and hasn't been offered again, until now.

So did Jeep go all-out nostalgic and bring back the Grand Wagoneer of old, faux wood paneling and all? Not exactly. What they did do was integrate design elements of the original SUV into the totally modern look of the Wagoneer. The classic yet updated seven-slot Jeep grille starts things off and is illuminated on the concept vehicle.

2021 Jeep Grand Wagoneer in Las Cruces NM: Styling

The body style is the basic big box shape of all large SUVs, but the huge chrome parts of the original have been swapped for more minimalist hints of metal. Accentuating its high ground clearance, the concept 2021 Jeep Wagoneer in Las Cruces NM stands on 24-inch wheels which by no means look oversized on this giant SUV. The roof rack is integrated with wood pieces reminiscent of the Wagoneer's heritage.

Inside, the Grand Wagoneer spares no luxury touch, filling the cabin with ultra premium materials, artistic lighting, and extravagant traces. Accent trims include heat-treated lacewood, onyx glass, and aluminum. It has room for seven, although seating for eight is likely; with large windows and a panoramic roof to give everyone a view.

The interior was also designed with a nod to sustainability. The carpeting is made of Thrive fiber, which is made with recycled material. The headliner is produced from Dinamica®, a recyclable, microfiber suede-type material, and the upholstery of the concept is synthetic leather.

The 2021 Jeep Grand Wagoneer will share its platform with the RAM 1500, so that means all those different engines could be available. There's the 3.6 liter Pentastar V6, possibly with the eTorque mild hybrid, the 5.7 liter Hemi V8, or even the 6.4 liter V8. There's even the question of RAM's V6 EcoDiesel.

When the 2021 Jeep Grand Wagoneer in Las Cruces NM goes into production, it'll be available with three different four-wheel drive set-ups, along with an air-suspension package. Because it will compete with high-end SUVs like the Lincoln Navigator and Cadillac Escalade, it's off road performance needs to be balanced with its level of refinement.

The technology inside is powered by the newest version of FCA's easy-to-use, but powerful Uconnect 5 infotainment system. The cabin also boasts nearly 45 inches of screens arranged along the concept vehicle's dashboard. There's a stacked pair of screens in the center for climate control and infotainment, a 12.3 inch virtual instrument panel, and a 10.25 inch screen for the passenger in front. The second row captain's chair passengers each get a 10 inch screen, and there's a 10 inch screen on the console between the front seats. A McIntosh 23-speaker audio system with a 24-channel amplifier is also included in the concept vehicle.

Safety features and fuel economy are still in the works, as well as trim levels and specific pricing. We can expect the Jeep Grand Wagoneer to start around the same price as its main rivals and climb close to the six figure mark in its top trims.

No matter what changes before the production model arrives, when it does arrive, come on over to Viva Jeep to see this all-new American classic!

2021 Chrysler Pacifica Hybrid in Las Cruces NM: A Greener Family Vehicle

 Even though the minivan may be overlooked by today's SUV and crossover-minded consumers, the 2021 Chrysler Pacifica Hybrid in Las Cruces NM is truly worth a second look if you're searching for a newer, "greener" family vehicle.

For the 2021 model year, Chrysler has updated the Pacifica across the board, including the Hybrid version, with exterior styling that offers a more SUV-like appearance than the departing model. It now boasts a sportier, more aggressive look thanks to a flatter front end with a bigger grille, and slimmer, sharper looking headlights with LED accents. The new LED rear lights extend from side to side with a light bar joining the two, and the liftgate and wheel designs have been modified.

The 2021 Chrysler Pacifica Hybrid in Las Cruces NM seats seven, and is available in four trim levels. It begins with the base level, called Touring, at an MSRP of $41,490 and moves up through Touring L, Limited, and the top-of-the-line Pinnacle, with an MSRP of $52,340. The Pacifica Hybrid's powertrain combines 9-speed automatic transmission paired with a 3.6-liter V-6, two electric motors, and a 16-kWh lithium-ion battery, which puts out 260 hp and reaches 60 mph in 7.8 seconds.  It can travel up to 33 miles on fully electric power and delivers a combined 84 miles per gallon equivalent and a projected total combined driving range of around 520 miles.

The perceptive hybrid arrangement automatically switches between gas and electric power depending on battery-charge level and driving conditions. And for your convenience, Chrysler has teamed up with Amazon Home Services to make installing an available Mopar Level 2 Charger at your home easier, thus enabling the Hybrid batter to charge fully in two hours.

Inside the spacious 2021 Chrysler Pacifica Hybrid in Las Cruces NM, you'll find plenty of amenities that minivan buyers love, like cupholders, cubbies, and slide-out bins throughout. The more luxurious Limited and Pinnacle trims have a more SUV-like fit behind the steering wheel. The Pinnacle trim comes standard with luxurious, leather upholstery, a suede headliner, and beautiful wood trim.

2021 Chrysler Pacifica Hybrid in Las Cruces NM: Cargo Space

Because the standard Stow 'n Go seats must fold up tightly enough to fit inside the floor bins, they have a bit less padding than seats in rival minivans. As a trade-out for no second row Stow 'n Go seats in the Hybrid model (the battery pack takes up the under-floor space in this area) the standard captain's chairs offer extra cushioning. There's 32.3 cubic feet of cargo space behind the third row of seats. Fold down the third row, and you'll have 87.5 cubic feet of storage space. Passenger volume of the Pacifica Hybrid is the highest among the competition, with 165 cubic feet. Getting in and out of the rear seats is easy thanks to standard power-sliding rear doors and a low step-in height. The third row seats are easy to access and tall adults can ride comfortably. There are four sets of LATCH connectors for child car seats.

The 2021 Chrysler Pacifica Hybrid in Las Cruces NM has a lot of new features, the most notable being the Uconnect 5 infotainment system. It's a totally customizable control center that keeps up to six stored user profiles. It comes standard with a 10.1-inch touchscreen as well as wireless Amazon Alexa, Apple CarPlay, and Android Auto integration, A WiFi hotspot and up to 12 USB and USB-C ports are also included.

There are many driver-assistance safety features that come standard on all models, including blind-spot monitoring and lane departure warning with lane keep assist, adaptive cruise control, and more.  Furthermore, if you want more, practically every modern safety feature is available. As of this writing, the 2021 Pacifica Hybrid hasn't been tested by the NHTSA or the IIHS, but the 2020 model scored a 5-star rating and a Top Safety Pick, respectively, so the new model should too.

There's so much more about the 2021 Chrysler Pacifica Hybrid in Las Cruces NM you just need to discover yourself. Come take a second look at Viva Chrysler today! 

5 Simple Steps to Buying a Car from a Dodge Dealership in El Paso, TX

 

Whether it’s your first time or you’re simply adding a new item to your RAM or Dodge collection, there’s no doubt that buying a car is a big decision. But it doesn’t have to be stressful as long as you don’t let your excitement cloud your judgment and lead you in the wrong direction.

Your excitement can easily get out of hand especially if you live in La Cruces, NM or El Paso, TX, where some of the country’s most amazing tracks can be found and where car dealerships like Viva Chrysler Jeep Dodge Ram FIAT of Las Cruces offer the best deals. Here are five steps that can help take the stress and confusion out of car buying.

Step # 1: Get Pre-Approved for a Loan

Unless you are paying cash for your vehicle, you must get pre-approved for an auto loan first. That will give you an idea how much you can afford before you start shopping around. Visit your bank’s website and look for a loan you can apply for. Most credit unions and big lenders offer the same type of loan, so go check their websites, too. Choose a loan that will work best for you not just during the purchase, but also in the long run.

Step # 2: Choose a Car

Check online for vehicle makes and models that are currently available. Make a list of those that you like and compare their specs. Include vehicles that fit your taste and lifestyle. Narrow it down further to at least five choices by eliminating those that lack the specs you desire and are outside your budget range, which you can base on your loan pre-approval. Once you’ve finalized your list, you’re all set to visit a RAM dealership in Las Cruces, NM and have a closer look at each of those vehicles.

Step # 3: Hear It from the Dealer

You can’t completely rely on everything you’ve read online while making your list. Some information may be inadequate or, worse, inaccurate. On your trip to a Dodge dealership in El Paso, TX, make it a point to ask the dealer for more details about the vehicles you’ve shortlisted. They might give you fresh insights that can bring you closer to the most ideal option. This is also a great way to choose your top three.

Step # 4: Schedule a Test Drive

What better way to end your vehicle selection than to do a test drive? A 15-minute test drive can give you more information about your top three choices than what you can gather in a five-hour online research session. Listen to the sound and movement each vehicle makes in every shift and turn. Check if the steering wheel is centered when driving on a straight path and how much vibration it makes. Slightly let go of the wheel and slowly step on the brake to see if the vehicle pulls to the left or right. There are so many things you can realize and factor in your decision during this step.

Step # 5. Close the Deal

Done choosing? Go to the dealership’s financing department and tell them that you have pre-approval for a loan so that they can improve your annual percentage rate. Carefully read the financing terms and sales contract before signing any document. Most vehicle offers come with extra accessories, after-market products, and an extended warranty. Be sure to ask as many questions as possible to pick the ideal package inclusions.

While the process seems simple, it takes many years of experience with cars to develop a level of confidence that points you to the right direction when buying a car. If you have some uncertainties about your decision, it would be best to just find the best car dealership in your area and start your vehicle search from there. After all, a good car dealership always offers the best vehicles. Check out Viva CDJRF for more helpful tips.
