All New 2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee
For 2011 the Grand Cherokee comes equipped with the all-new lightweight and compact Pentastar? 3.6L flex-fuel V6 engine, offering better fuel economy without sacrificing power. It is coupled with a five-speed automatic transmission that includes adaptive electronic control which adjusts the shift schedule based on individual driving style, driving situations or road conditions.
This powertrain provides 290 horsepower and 260 lb-ft of torque. Fuel economy has been improved by 11 percent -- to 16/23 EPA City/Highway versus the 2009 model's V6. Gas mileage is better than the Toyota 4Runner and competitive with Honda Pilot and Lexus RX350. Also, when properly equipped, the all-new Jeep Grand Cherokee offers trailer tow capability of up to 5,000 pounds on models equipped with the Pentastar V6 engine.
Of course the V6 is only half the power story. Grand Cherokee continues to offer the best-in-class available 5.7L V8 engine with Multi Displacement System and Variable Valve Timing Technology. Teamed with the automatic transmission it produces 360 horsepower and 390 lb ft torque.
The V8 makes more power than the competition. It also provides smooth, quiet operation, and excellent durability.
The Multiple Displacement System seamlessly alternates between smooth, efficient four-cylinder mode when less power is needed and V8 mode when more power is in demand. This optimizes fuel economy when V8 power is not required without sacrificing vehicle performance or capability.
The V8 also allows Grand Cherokee to maintain its unsurpassed trailer towing capacity - 7,400-lbs on 4x2 models and 7,200-lbs on 4x4 (when properly equipped) models. For 2011, Grand Cherokee with the V8 with MDS also features a new dual exhaust.
Even when standing still, the all-new 2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee presents a striking image.
With a sculpted and athletic profile, the all-new Jeep Grand Cherokee features very short front and rear overhangs. Integrated fog lamps are standard. The lower front fascia is removable and includes available tow hooks.17 -inch wheels are standard, while 18-inch and impressive 20-inch wheels are optional.
Taillamps wrap from the rear quarter panel to the back of the vehicle, creating a more upscale appearance.
Grand Cherokee's all-new interior is filled with world-class refinements. It features luxurious materials and elegant appointments, as well as more room for both passengers and cargo.
Because Grand Cherokee's wheelbase is longer than the previous model, it provides more interior room. In fact, that means rear passengers can enjoy four extra inches of leg room for Best-in-Class rear leg and the comfort of reclining second-row seats.

Premium Materials were used extensively, including:
Soft Touch materials on every surface
Available real leather
Available real wood
Chrome highlighting
Integrated design with exceptional fit and finish
A multitude of available luxury features including, heated steering wheel, heated and ventilated front seats, and more!
Enhanced ergonomics and seat comfort were key considerations during Grand Cherokee's design, and include a new seat structure for both front and rear seats. The seats are tuned to provide occupants with optimum comfort during long trips.
Several storage and convenience features have been designed into the rear cargo area including an available grated, protective floor accented with a durable and bright finish
Also new to the cargo area is a storage unit with a rechargeable flashlight that snaps out for easy access and improved grocery/utility hooks on both sides. The spare tire compartment includes two large removable storage bins for secure storage of muddy gear or other items.
The load floor system has a carpeted surface. It features a latch for lifting the floor lid. The load capacity of the cargo load floor system is 250 pounds.
A tethered 12-volt electrical power outlet in the cargo compartment can power a portable cooler, air compressor or other electrical items.
An available removable rollaway tonneau cover is mounted in the rear cargo area behind the seats. It keeps items securely out of sight and can easily be removed when large items are stowed with the rear seat folded down.
The 2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee also has all-new independent front and rear suspension designs. They feature isolated front and rear suspension cradles along with variable-rate rear springs to deliver improved on-road handling and comfort while complementing the vehicle's renowned off-road capability.
The rear suspension boasts a class-leading 10.2 inches of travel to maintain legendary Jeep attributes.
The new rear suspension also allows the spare tire to be stored inside the vehicle rather than underneath, for added convenience.
Load-leveling shocks are also available. These shocks react to payload levels and mechanically increase vehicle height when the vehicle has added rear payload. When payload is added to the vehicle, the shocks' gas pressure increases until the vehicle reaches normal ride height.
Advantages to load-leveling shocks include improved load handling and trailer-tow performance. Load-leveling shocks are available with Trailer-Tow packages.
You truly must experience this vehicle on the road to appreciate the level of quality that Jeep has aspired to in the new Grand Cherokee. The stylish exterior and quiet comfortable interior look great in pictures, but this vehicle demands to be driven! Call or email us to schedule your test drive today!
