The 2019 Jeep Grand Cherokee is the sophisticated-yet-tough vehicle in the Jeep lineup. It’s made to go off-road and to drive around town without sacrificing the comfort that drivers and passengers expect in an SUV. Available in 10 different trim levels, here’s an overview of everything to love in the 2019 Jeep Grand Cherokee.
Power and Performance
The Grand Cherokee comes with a standard 3.6-liter V-6 engine that produces 300 horsepower and powers the vehicle both on the highway and off-road. A 5.7-liter V-8 engine is an option with the Limited and higher trims. It offers a 7,200-pound towing capacity but consumes a bit more fuel to do so. If you’re looking for a good mixture of fuel economy and power, opt for a turbo diesel engine which uses less gas and can tow 7,400 pounds.
For speed, you can’t go wrong with a 6.2-liter V-8 engine. It produces 707 horsepower and goes from zero to 60 in under four seconds in the Trailhawk trim. Optional air suspension smoothens out the ride over uneven surfaces like pockmarked pavement. Grand Cherokee also has precise steering and good tracking which allows for smooth driving down the highway.
Off-Road Capabilities
Off-roading in the 2019 Jeep Grand Cherokee is possible in part because of the four different all-wheel-drive systems offered on various trims. The Quadra-Trac I — available on the Laredo four-wheel-drive trim — has a 50/50 power split front to back and locking center differential, making it a good fit for all types of weather.
The Quadra-Trac II system is a standard feature for the Overland, Trailhawk, Summit, and Limited trims depending on which engine you choose. In this system, you choose between mud, snow, sand, rock, and auto. These modes allow the Grand Cherokee to get a better grip on rough terrain. This system will shift all of the power to the rear before driveline losses, and it has an electronic slip-differential.
Interior and Features
For the 2019 model year, Jeep Grand Cherokee has a good standard set of amenities and safety features. These include a 7.0-inch infotainment system with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, two USB ports, 17-inch wheels, cloth seats, Bluetooth, rear parking sensors, a rearview camera, blind-spot monitors, and a leather-wrapped steering wheel.
The interior amenities go hand-in-hand with a spacious cabin. It has seating for five with generous front seats and rear seats that feature a 12-inch recline and 38 inches of leg room. The Grand Cherokee also has plenty of headroom for taller people. Cargo space is quite good with 36.3 cubic feet behind the rear seats that expands to 60 cubic feet when those seats are folded down. A power liftgate is a feature on Limited and higher trims along with different upholstery options.
The Jeep Grand Cherokee is a star in the automaker’s lineup because it offers an unbeatable mix of comfort, features, performance, and off-road capability. Visit 495 Chrysler Jeep Dodge to see our 2019 Grand Cherokee inventory and take one for a test drive today.
