Features
The new Jeep Grand Cherokee gets the latest equipment on board. The feature list includes heated and vented first-row seats with three-level configurable controls, eight-way adjustable front seats with memory, and the latest Uconnect 5 system, featuring a 10.1-inch touchscreen radio and two 10.25-inch digital instrument panel displays. Further, the SUV offers electric IRVM, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and a full colour 10-inch windshield head-up display.
Performance
The SUV is powered by a 2.0-litre I-4 twin-scroll turbo petrol engine that generates 268bhp and 400Nm of torque at 3,000rpm. This engine comes mated to an eight-speed automatic transmission and a 4x4 – Quadra-Trac system. Moreover, the Selec-Terrain system offers four available terrain modes, such as Auto, Sport, Snow, and Mud/Sand.
The company claims that the C-EGR system, central direct injection, and independent liquid cooling of the intake air deliver high levels of performance and reduced fuel consumption. Moreover, it is believed that the diamond-like (DLC) on the floating pins reduces friction. The iridium and platinum-encrusted precious metal spark plugs promise endurance.
Exterior and Interior
The fascia is highlighted by the familiar seven-slat, LED reflector headlights, LED fog lamps, and long-range radar. The side profile is highlighted by a lowered-roof and beltline, squared wheel arches, and 20-inch dual-tone alloy wheels. The masculine rear profile is accentuated by LED taillights.
As for the interior, the new Jeep Grand Cherokee gets Capri leather seats with perforated inserts, a pure leather-wrapped instrument panel, and LED ambient lighting system.
Safety
The safety equipment list includes ADAS, multiple airbags, TPMS, 360-degree surround view camera with washer, ParkView rear camera and ParkSense assist, active lane management, collision warning with active braking and pedestrian/cyclist detection, adaptive cruise control, rear cross path detection, drowsy driver detection system, and advanced brake assist.
