PERFORMANCE

High-level performance is mandatory when driving this SUV. This means that owners receive best-in-class departure angles, best-in-class driving range, and best-in-class towing capacity. Four-wheel drive comes standard to deliver a maximum amount of traction when needed via Quadra-Trac I, Quadra-Trac II, or Quadra-Drive II systems. Quadra-Lift Air Suspension lowers the vehicle at highway speeds to reduce drag and raises the body when trekking over rugged terrain. Customize your commute by toggling through the drive settings. There's a mode for snow, sport, and sand.

Multiple powertrains are available, including a 3.6-liter engine. This Pentastar V6 produces 260 pound-feet while towing 6,200 pounds. Horsepower output maxes out at 293 while delivering 19 mpg in the city and 26 mpg on the open road. There's also a 5.7-liter engine that tows 7,200 pounds. This 357-horsepower V8 generates 390 pound-feet. Participating in water fording activities is possible thanks to the vehicle's high air intake and high ground clearance. Other performance features are superb wheel articulation and progressive handling.

DESIGN

The new Jeep Grand Cherokee has a fully furnished interior that provides maximum comfort for short or long trips. Some of the interior fabrics are Capri leatherette and fine cloth. Palermo and Nappa leather are available for the upper-tier trims. Best-in-class legroom is available whether you opt for a two- or three-row model. The three-row model accommodates seven people while offering 17.2 cubic feet of cargo space. Cargo space is extended to a maximum of 84.6 cubic feet when the second and third rows are stowed away.

Front-seat passengers benefit from massage, climate-control settings, and power-adjustable functions for added comfort. The new Jeep Grand Cherokee also offers a Dual-Pane moonroof, which yields astounding views. Open-pore wood blends in nicely throughout the dashboard and inner door panels. Customizing the interior lighting is another automotive treat.

TECHNOLOGY

The new Jeep Grand Cherokee is fully loaded with modern innovation, starting with McIntosh audio. The center display is 10.1 inches, and there's a passenger screen that's 10.25 inches. Apps and settings are adjusted from both screens. Amazon Fire TV is built into the rear-seat entertainment system. Other features include USB ports, a roof rail system, tow hooks, and a Wi-Fi hotspot.

Exterior

The SUV's exterior is rugged and refined from end to end. The brand's seven-slot grille is iconic, and its updated design enhances the look of the front end. The LED headlamps seamlessly blend into the grille for a uniform look, and the headlamps have a slim-cut design. Horizontal-shaped fog lights are also incorporated to deliver an alluring effect. The new Grand Cherokee's exterior goes further by offering a black-painted roof for the three-row model. Dynamic lines flow across the upper door panels while traveling around the wheel arches. The vehicle's aerodynamic body sits athletically on 18-inch silver, 19-inch gloss-black, or 20-inch diamond-cut wheels.
