In a bid to revolutionize the full-size SUV market, the 2023 Jeep Grand Cherokee has a plethora of cutting-edge features that enhance safety, performance, and overall driving experience. This all-new model sports a sculpted aerodynamic body style and an innovative architecture aimed at boosting vehicle performance and reliability. It also champions significant weight reduction, noise minimization, and a decrease in vibration and harshness, truly making its mark in the SUV segment.
Notably, the Grand Cherokee offers three robust 4x4 systems: Quadra-Trac I, Quadra-Trac II, and Quadra-Drive II with rear electronic limited-slip differential (ELSD). These systems come equipped with an active transfer case that enhances traction by optimizing torque distribution based on grip conditions. Further augmenting off-road capabilities is the class-exclusive Jeep Quadra-Lift air suspension that provides up to 27.7 centimetres of ground clearance and a remarkable 61 centimetres of water fording.
To facilitate optimum 4x4 performance, the vehicle is equipped with the class-leading Selec-Terrain traction management system. It electronically coordinates multiple features, including 4x4 torque split, braking and handling, steering and suspension systems, throttle control, transmission shift, and more. This system offers five terrain modes (Auto, Sport, Rock, Snow, Mud/Sand) to optimize calibrations for any driving scenario.
Adding to its versatility, the Grand Cherokee automatically shifts to two-wheel drive when all-wheel drive is not required, reducing driveline drag and improving fuel economy. However, the vehicle instantly re-engages four-wheel drive when it senses a need. Under the hood, it houses the standard all-aluminum 3.6-litre Pentastar V6 engine rated at 293 horsepower and 260 lb-ft of torque, and an award-winning 5.7-litre V8, delivering 357 horsepower and 390 lb-ft of torque.
For eco-conscious drivers, the Grand Cherokee 4xe offers up to 4.2 Le/100km combined efficiency rating and up to 42 kilometres all-electric range, thanks to its 2.0-litre turbocharged, four-cylinder engine combined with two electric motors and a 400-volt battery pack. Each engine pairs with the durable TorqueFlite eight-speed automatic transmission, known for enhancing fuel economy and delivering crisp, smooth gear changes.
The Grand Cherokee certainly leads the pack with a class-leading 3,265 kg towing capacity with the 5.7-litre V8 and an impressive driving range of more than 800 kilometres with the 3.6-litre V6 engine. Ultimately, the 2023 Jeep Grand Cherokee raises the bar for power, efficiency, and versatility, demonstrating Jeep's commitment to delivering unrivaled driving experiences.
