The Jeep Grand Cherokee

The Jeep Grand Cherokee made its debut in 1991. The models available were the entry level, Laredo and the Limited. All Grand Cherokees were equipped with airbags on the side for the driver and anti-lock brakes on all tires. A 4.0-Liter engine with six cylinders and 190 Horsepower powered the Grand Cherokee. Later that year a 5.

2-Liter V8 engine with 200 horsepower was introduced for the Grand Wagoneer, which was a version of the Grand Cherokee. Unfortunately that model lasted just one year. In 1994, the entry level model was renamed the SE and all Grand Cherokee models with an automatic gear system had a V8 engine. In 1995, the Grand Cherokee was only available in SE and Limited versions. The Jeep Grand Cherokee now comes in three different themes: Overland, Laredo, and Limited. In all three models, one touch window controls for the front doors and an electronic stability system come as standard features.

Drivers who choose the Jeep Grand Cherokee have their choice of four engines: the standard is a 3.0 liter turbo diesel V-6; there is also a 3.7 liter V-6 engine; the 4.7 liter V-8 engine is able to use E85 fuel; and finally, the 5.

7 liter Hemi engine features a Multi-Displacement System, which is designed to deactivate half the cylinders when it sense that the car is cruising or only lightly accelerating. This feature is extremely beneficial to the fuel economy, making the Jeep Grand Cherokee a more eco-friendly, money saving SUV than most other vehicles in its class. Furthermore, the 3.

0 liter engine has two hundred and fifteen horsepower and three hundred and seventy six pounds per feet of torque; the 3.7 liter has two hundred and ten horsepower and two hundred and thirty five pounds per feet of torque; the 4.7 liter engine comes with two hundred and thirty horsepower and three hundred and five pounds per feet of torque; and the 5.

7 liter Hemi has three hundred and thirty horsepower and three hundred and seventy five pounds per feet of torque. The Jeep Grand Cherokee is total 4x4 ? there are three different four wheel drive systems available. The first, Quadra-Trac I, features a full time all wheel drive operation which operates automatically with no input necessary from the driver. The next is the Quadra-Trac II, which provides active four wheel drive on a full time basis and features low range gearing; lastly, Quadra-Drive II is better for off road driving, as it comes complete with electronic limited slip differentials. In all models, the Jeep Grand Cherokee is characteristic to the brand, with round head lamps bracketing the grille, which is chrome on the Limited, comprised of wire lattice work on the Grand Cherokee Overland, and the same color as the body on the Grand Cherokee Laredo.

The Laredo also features the option for cladding. The Jeep Grand Cherokee has flaring wheels which evoke a feeling of power. Overall, it is over one hundred and eighty six inches in length, almost sixty eight inches tall, and sixty two inches wide. New colours are now available, among them are Red Rock Crystal, Steel Blue Metallic, Jeep Green Metallic, and Mineral Grey Metallic. The Jeep Grand Cherokee's interior is all about class and subtle style.

The cup holders coordinate with the interior them and the Laredo features chrome accents around the gauges and the climate control system, while the centre console features a black bezel. The upholstery in all three models is quite to die for. In Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo models, soft cloth upholstery comes standard, but buyers may upgrade to leather. In the Limited, the supple leather seats are two toned in colour and they have perforated inserts.

Leather and lush suede cover the seats in the Grand Cherokee Overland. The cabin has room to seat five occupants with ample space and comfort. A two toned instrument panel ? featuring perfect symmetry ? bright with a four gauge cluster of LED lit surfaces, accented in red, opens up before the driver.
