Jeep gave its Grand Cherokee a major facelift this past year, building it on an entirely new platform that resulted in many new, dynamic features. There's a third row, with seating for up to seven. That also means significantly more cargo space with the third and second rows folded down. Thanks to a bump in payload capacity, the new Jeep Grand Cherokee L has trail-rated powertrain options and some of the most advanced security and safety features to match. Here's our Kernersville Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram team's favorite Jeep Grand Cherokee L highlights.
Jeep Grand Cherokee L Powertrain Options and Capability
The Jeep Grand Cherokee L tows up to 7,200 pounds. It combines an extremely crashworthy, high-strength steel frame with Jeep's legendary 4x4 capability. That power and capability is the result of a high-horsepower, high-torque engine lineup that includes a 5.7-liter HEMI V8 paired with a smooth, multi-speed automatic transmission.
These same features allow the Jeep Grand Cherokee L to go from zero to 60 in less than six seconds. Its huge, off-road tires and adventure packages give it beastly power on Kernersville, NC streets and in the most rugged back roads. A Jeep Quadra-Lift Suspension system gives the Jeep Grand Cherokee L competitive fuel city/highway fuel economy, not to mention water fording up to 24 inches. An ingenious system of selectable drive modes tweaks the Jeep Grand Cherokee L engine, transmission, and wheel torque for maximum traction and stability on adverse terrain and bad weather.
Security and Safety
Enhancing its standout powertrain and capability is the Jeep Grand Cherokee L's dynamic suite of trend-forward driving-assist tech. Interior ambient LED lighting keeps the cabin comfortable, sedate, and atmospheric during extended weekend road trips or date nights. More than 110 additional comfort and security features protect your front and your back in nearly every conceivable driving scenario:
- Forward Collision: This feature scans the road ahead of you, anticipating potential collisions and even automatically engaging hard emergency braking when necessary.
- Active Lane Management alerts you to any unintentional lane drifting, giving you an opportunity to course-correct.
- Blind Spot Monitoring uses a series of lasers and cameras to monitor your blind spot. It gives you a heads up when a vehicle enters either of your blind spots, making it safer to merge, pass or change lanes.
- Cross Path Automatic Emergency Braking sense traffic crossing your path behind you as you back up, braking hard as needed to prevent a rear fender bender.
