The 2. 01. 6 update was mainly under the skin, with weight reductions (using more aluminum), electric steering, standard stop- start on the V6, and a new, upgraded V6 engine. For the 2. 01. 4- 1. Jeep was unchanged, but serious functional upgrades lie under the moderately- tweaked skin. Buyers now get a state of the art transmission that provides faster acceleration and better mileage; a diesel brings higher torque and economy; underbody protection has been enhanced; and many other updates were made to improve both on- road and off- road performance. They continue to have an anti- glare hood decal, ascent and descent control, limited slip differentials, a special air suspension, and Quadra- Drive II. Approach angles were reported at 2. There are four color schemes including a new full- wrap Laguna leather in Indigo and Ski Gray. Rearview camera and rear park sensors are now standard on all Jeep Grand Cherokee trims. The Laredo, Limited, Overland, and Trailhawk have the 2. Anniversary front fascia and grille; the Grand Cherokee SRT has a new front fascia, fog lamps, grille, and Laguna leather interior package. That front looks as though it’s ready for a Hellcat engine, doesn’t it? The 2. 01. 5 Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT will get a minor power boost to match the Challenger and Charger — going up to 4. So far, there is no Hellcat, and while it was reportedly considered, Allpar finds it unlikely that the 7. Jeep. A new Red Vapor Special will be available to Grand Cherokee SRT buyers, and Active Noise Cancelling will be optional. All models got aluminum suspension components, cutting weight. A new shifter replaced the “Curse- O- Matic.” Except for SRT, all Grand Cherokees got lower rolling resistance tires. The V6 was upgraded substantially, with higher torque below 3,0.

The eight- speed automatic comes in two forms, ZF's 8. HP7. 0 and Chrysler's 8. RE version of the same automatic; the latter is only used on the V6. Eventually, all engines will use Chrysler- built automatics.

The transmission is the main reason why gas mileage rose for 2. V6 towing capacity rose 2. The main benefit will likely be performance; many buyers who thought they needed a Hemi may change their minds after trying the six, with the eight- speed now standard. See details: 8. HP7. RE . Diesel and gasoline engines. With the new diesel option, the Grand Cherokee has best- in- class gas mileage (3. The state- of- the- art engine, dubbed . With 2. 40 horsepower and 4.

Jet II); swirl- control intake ports; and a variable- geometry turbocharger that cuts turbo lag. The 2. 4- valve, dual- overhead- cam engine is based on a block and bed plate made of strong compacted graphite iron (CGI), slashing weight. The 1- 4- 2- 5- 3- 6 firing order avoids vibration, ending the need for a balance shaft. The 5. 0- state- legal Eco. Diesel engine is compliant with Tier II, Bin 5 and ULEV II emissions controls. To manage temperature extremes, the turbocharger is water- cooled, and low- voltage ceramic glow plugs provide quicker cold- weather starts. The engine has been approved and tested for 5% biodiesel. All three gasoline engines are available in Europe. New for 2. 01. 4, all Jeep Grand Cherokees come with the V6 as standard equipment; in the past, upper models came with the V8, but the eight- speed automatic gives new life to the V6. The V8 and Eco.

The 2. 01. 4 Jeep Grand Cherokee's new Eco Mode alters the shift schedule and manages the interactive deceleration fuel shut- off (IDFSO), which cuts fuel delivery when the vehicle is coasting.

When buyers opt for the V8, the system alters cylinder deactivation and throttle sensitivity for more savings. Off- road capabilities.

Drive II is available on Limited and Overland, and standard on Summit (Build & Price showed it to be standard on Limited V6; thanks, Theodore). This system provides a two- speed transfer case, adding a low- 4x. The anti- lock brake system is now capable of detecting if the vehicle is driving on a rough road by the oscillations in the wheel speed signals; rough roads can be detected on off- road surfaces or trails, and the ABS enters a different pressure control where it will hold the brake pressure for longer pulses. With the front air dam removed and the available Quadra- Lift air suspension, the 2. Jeep Grand Cherokee had a 3. The 2. 01. 7 Jeep Grand Cherokee Trailhawk’s numbers were 2.

Quadra- Lift operates four- corner air springs automatically, or via console controls, with 4. The Aero control is automatic and speed- controlled. There is a front compressor in the system, but it's only present for repressurizing the system after it has been serviced, while connected to a nitrogen tank (using a hose behind the rear seat); the system can be depressurized using a scan tool. The system can be temporarily deactivated by jacking up the car or putting it onto a lift; Chrysler recommends using Sport mode for wheel alignments (Aero mode if you're doing an alignment using a scan tool.)The 2. Jeep Grand Cherokee is also available with load- leveling shocks the two systems are not available together). When payload is added to the vehicle, the shock's gas pressure increases until the vehicle reaches normal ride height, to improve load handling and trailer towing.

Optional on Laredo E, and standard on higher models, it has five driver- selectable positions: Automatic with torque split at around 4. Sand, Mud, and Snow (three separate options). Traction control and Quadra- Lift are more sensitive to wheel spin, and torque is tuned for each particular surface's attributes; targeted 5. Rock: Quadra- Lift raises the suspension to its full height and the transfer case, differentials, and throttle coordinate to provide low- speed control; around 5. Sport mode, which cuts back the traction control, lowers the vehicle (when an air suspension is used), and puts more power to the rear wheels, has been moved from Selec- Terrain to the shift lever. See our specifications page for approach, departure, and breakover angles, compared with competitors. Technology and comfort. Interior options include Natura leather, exotic open- pore wood trim, and new colors. The most looked at area of the interior, the gauge cluster, now has a customer- configurable 7- inch Thin- Film Transistor (TFT) liquid- crystal display, which can be configured one hundred different ways. Navigation, audio, fuel economy info, Selec- Terrain modes, and warning indicators can all be displayed in the 7- inch screen. The display's pixel illumination is more precisely controlled than in most consumer electronics, which makes for . Jeep designers installed redundant controls for audio and climate below the touch screen, for rapid manipulation. Standard on Overland and Summit, and available on other models, is an 8. Uconnect Access. This system has large, easy to read graphics with intuitive, easy to use controls. Second- row passengers can treat themselves to video entertainment via an available seatback Blu- ray video system (delayed availability).

Summit models feature a 1. Harman Kardon audio system, which drives nine tweeters, five mid- range speakers, two mid- range woofers, and 3 subwoofers from a 1. Class D amplifier with Green. Edge technology for higher efficiency. In response to a customer asking about why the Grand Cherokee does not have power- adjustable pedals, Mike Driehorst wrote: Adjustable pedals help offset lack of driver comfort setting to the wheel and pedal package. Most of the premium SUV competition (BMW X5, Mercedes ML) do not have adjustable pedals. They also use the column/seat approach. We do have a power column that is standard on the Limited/Overland models. Safety and convenience. Aftermarket Cruise Control Kits.
