Jeep Grand Cherokee NJ Offers More Excitement

By David Howard


Ironically, it's only years following the big divorce that the Jeep brand ultimately gains from the Daimler Chrysler marriage; An all-new Jeep Grand Cherokee debuts for 2011, and it also now shares its underpinnings using the Mercedes-Benz M-class SUV.

A fresh 3.6-liter changes the earlier 3.7-liter being the base V-6. It generates 280 hp and 260 lb-ft of torque (up substantially from the old lump's 210 and 235) and yields 11 percent better fuel economy, thanks in part to adjustable valve timing. The optional 360-hp, 5.7-liter Hemi V-8 goes back to the playground, and the two engines are paired with a five-speed automatic transmission and either rear- or four-wheel drive.

An additional Quadra-Lift air suspension (handed down from Mercedes) may improve the Jeep Grand Cherokee NJ's ride elevation, maximizing approach, departure, and breakover sides for even more off-road reliability. No longer limited by the Commander, Jeep's mainstay family hauler has room to advance so the new Jeep Grand Cherokee NJ is 1.8 inches longer, 3 inches wider, and, most significant, rides on a wheelbase that's 5.3 inches lengthier. That final dimension plays a part in a significant increase in rear-seat area, a welcome advancement over the current cramped bench. Jeep guarantees more soft-touch plastics and a high quality interior, along with an obtainable Alpine audio system.

Although the Jeep Grand Cherokee NJ hasn't traditionally motivated adulation from reviewers, the new generation of the SUV is stirring more pleasure. Like a number of other current types of SUVs, the Jeep Grand Cherokee NJ offers electric seat adjusting, electronically modified pedals, and very comfortable and solid seats. In addition, Jeep Grand Cherokee NJ has integrated ESP stability control the very first time. There's also an optional tire-pressure tracking program. The Jeep Grand Cherokee NJ additionally includes an ESP stability control system as well as optional parking radar. To address security concerns, the Jeep Grand Cherokee NJ delivers six airbags. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has granted this automobile its highest scores for front and side impact safety, however it obtained only four stars in the Euro NCAP tests for all round adult crash protection. Furthermore, it attained a three out of four star score for child protection, but none for pedestrian protection.

The most fascinating factor is that the Jeep Grand Cherokee NJ is so utterly incorporated into itself, so latticed with a sense of over-engineered framework and vested security. The inside materials are quality. The deep-bolstered SRT8 front buckets are excellent. The interior quiet and cabin timbre belong to a European executive saloon. If this isn't the best-built American car, you will need to show them one better. This soundness, which is significant within the regular Jeep Grand Cherokee NJ, is magnified in the SRT8. If you make a great deal of unexpected guiding moves, the SRT8 will ultimately yield to its own super incumbent mass and the rebounding forces will unstick the tires. Then the stability control will reprove you with a chorus of brake chattering. Even so the limits are simply preposterously high.
