Long Island Jeep Fans Love The Grand Cherokee

The new Grand Cherokee has features designed for families as well as off-road enthusiasts.  For those interested in going off-road, the wheels are on independent suspension for the first time, while the Quadra Trac II system (for all-wheel drives versions) tells each wheel how much power is needed depending on the type of terrain.  With the optional Quadra Lift air suspension, small bumps in the road become completely imperceptible.  The cargo area is 35.1 cubic feet, 5.6 more than the previous model.

For Long Island Jeep families, the onboard computer has 30 gigabytes of storage space for music (roughly the same as a mid-range iPod.)  Satellite TV and surround-sound speakers come with the rear seat entertainment system.  The rear seat has been expanded to allow more legroom, and is now as comfortable as a luxury SUV.

The 2011 Grand Cherokee was the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety’s top safety pick for 2010.  Receiving this award requires a vehicle to receive top scores in all categories, including a roof crush test, side and front impact tests, whiplash prevention tests and others.  A vehicle that qualifies must also have an electronic stability system, which is standard in all packages.  For the Limited and Overland trims, a blind spot detection system, collision warning and backup camera are available.

All year, the 2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee has been recognized with industry awards touting its outstanding performance. Now, Jericho Jeep dealer, Grand Prix Jeep, is proud to announce a new—and different—industry accolade.

Ward has named the 2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee on its list of “10 Best Interiors” recognizing outstanding interior design, craftsmanship and quality.

The 2011 Grand Cherokee, now available at our Jeep dealership, was among 41 all-new or significantly upgraded vehicles tested for the award. More specifically, the Overland Summit model earned the recognition.

Attention to detail and hand-craftmanship define the interior of the 2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee Overland Summit at Grand Prix Jeep. Definitely the most luxurious trim available in the Grand Cherokee lineup, the Overland Summit features Black lower and New Saddle upper interior leather-wrapped trim on door panels, the center console and the instrument panel.

The trim on the 2011 Grand Cherokee Overland Summit is a unique Black Olive, giving the instrument panels and doors a real-wood look that contrasts nicely against the two-tone leather theme of the interior.

New for the 2011 model year is a two-gauge instrument cluster. The LED back lighting on this feature makes the panel easier to read at night, and the satin silver and chrome blend make it truly a luxury feature. Also new is a three-spoke heated steering wheel with Black Olive wood accents.

Convenience and ease also highlight the interior of the 2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee Overland Summit, making it an even more obvious choice for the “best interior” title. The center stack houses all climate and radio controls, along with an electronic switch bank.  Underneath is an illuminated compartment for tucking away a cell phone, iPod or other handheld device, and the glove box and upper-storage compartments are lined with a velvet-like surface to minimize noise.

The seat design on this “best interior” model is built to maximize driver and passenger comfort. The front two seats feature molded shoulder corners. Front seats are also heated and ventilated. Space is plenty with the 60/40 split fold, and the heated rear seats even recline.

Working in conjunction with the three-point integrated restraint system and engineered crush zones, Grand Prix Jeep Chrysler makes sure that your passengers are surrounded by multiple layers of protection.

Safety Features for Long Island Chrysler Drivers

Designed to compress during an accident, crush zones in the front of your vehicle and door beams in the sides help absorb excess energy and decrease transfer of that energy to occupants.

This feature assists Long Island Chrysler customers by monitoring the blind spots of the vehicle. A visual indicator in the side mirrors notifies you of a vehicle entering your blind spot area. If you activate your turn signal to change lanes and a vehicle is located in your blind spot, a visual and audible alert helps warn you to double check your blind spot before changing lanes.

Electronic Stability Control monitors steering input and vehicle motion. It senses when there’s a difference between your intended path and the actual path of the vehicle. It then applies selective braking, and sometimes reduces engine throttle, to help guide your vehicle back on to your intended path.

This accident avoidance feature uses strategically placed sensors designed to detect if vehicles are approaching the rear of your vehicle when backing up. The system helps you monitor the hard to see angles to the left and right of your vehicle while backing out of a visually impaired parking spot.
