Introducing the 2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee In Stock Now!
NEW YORK - Jeep's all-new 2011 Grand Cherokee was unveiled today at the 2009 New York Auto Show. The new Jeep has such improvements as a Quadra Lift air suspension that can elevate the Grand Cherokee as much as 11.1 inches for off-roading - or for in-town styling and profiling.
The new model will mark the first use of the new Chrysler flex-fuel 3.6-liter V6, which makes 280 horsepower and 260 pound-feet of torque, featuring variable valve timing and as much as 11 percent better fuel economy than the engine it replaces. There's also an optional 5.7-liter Hemi V8 that makes 360 hp and 390 lb-ft, coupled with multi-displacement system (MDS) technology and dual exhausts.
The 2011 Grand Cherokee will come with a choice of three 4x4 systems and a new Selec-Terrain system with five settings, the names of which should entice adventurous Jeep customers: Auto, Sand/Mud, Sport, Snow and Rock.
Jeep boasts 45 high-tech safety features on the 2011 Grand Cherokee. Among them are standard electronic stability control, full-length side curtain airbags and seat-mounted side thorax airbags, active head restraints that deploy in a rear-end crash, a forward collision warning system and park assist.
On the inside, all Grand Cherokees get Chrysler's u-connect system with Bluetooth capability, USB connection, satellite navigation and emergency roadside assistance calling. A premium Alpine audio system has nine speakers and surround-sound. The top Overland model gets a leather instrument panel and door trim. A heated steering wheel, wood and leather trim, back-up camera, heated seats front and rear and a dual-pane panoramic sunroof are among the features available on the new Grand Cherokee. - Edmunds InsideLine 2009
