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.

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.

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.
