Jeep® Grand Cherokee offers three available 4x4 systems - Quadra-Lift®, Quadra-Trac II® and Quadra-Drive® II. So if you just need to tackle rough weather or you’re the ultimate off-roader, Grand Cherokee can handle it.
This revolutionary system gives you ultimate control of Jeep® Grand Cherokee’s suspension. You can lower the vehicle’s height by 40 mm for easy entry, exit and loading; or you can rise it to increase clearance from the ground when driving off road. The system will also raise the vehicle from back to front to help keep headlights focused on the road.
Remarkably powerful and surprisingly fuel efficient, the 5.7L V8 engine puts out 360 hp and 390 lb-ft of torque for a class-leading 7,200 lb towing capacity. Variable Valve Timing (VVT) and FuelSaver technology, together with a new 8-speed automatic transmission, enable it to achieve fuel economy of up to 9.9L/100 km highway driving.
Jeep® Grand Cherokee can tow an impressive maximum capacity of up to 7200 lb. The Trailer Sway Control (TSC) feature helps stop trailers swaying and improves handling in adverse conditions like crosswinds, traffic or incorrect weight distribution on the trailer. TSC is automatically activated when the system senses the trailer is swaying more than it should.
