Announcement
The award-winning Jeep Grand Cherokee L SUV was unveiled by Stellantis Middle East and Africa. The launch of the model marks 80 glorious years of the American SUV icon. Jeep Grand Cherokee is the bestselling SUV range in the Middle East and the top trim model, Summit Reserve, is here to raise the bar for the entire full-size SUV segment in the region.
Jeep Grand Cherokee L offers higher levels of off-road capabilities combined with on-road comfort. First time in the history of the SUV brand, the Jeep Grand Cherokee L has a third row making up for more passenger capacity.
Advanced Features
All Jeeps are known for road prowess and power, however, Jeep Grand Cherokee L earned groundbreaking success in the full-size SUV segment thanks to a combination of unique features. This model is being called the most technologically advanced Grand Cherokee, owing to the usage of next-generation technologies and unmatched customer comfort and experience.
Prominent Jeep Grand Cherokee L specs include:
New Vehicle Architecture
The all-new Jeep Grand Cherokee L has a revised seating architecture with a third row. As expected of all Jeeps, this model has off-roading capabilities. But they are at a higher level thanks to three advanced 4×4 systems – Quadra-Trac I, Quadra-Trac II and Quadra-Drive II. All the systems are equipped with rear electronic limited slip-differential (eLSD) and an active transfer case for better traction.
With the Grand Cherokee L’s class-leading Selec-Terrain traction management system customers have the option to choose on- and off-road settings for an ideal 4×4 performance with five available terrain modes including auto, sport, rock, snow, mud/sand/. These modes make up for optimized calibrations for any given driving scenario.
Outstanding Powertrains
The SUV offers two powerful and fuel-efficient engines for better road performance.
The standard engine is an all-aluminium 3.6-liter Pentastar V6 engine (293 horsepower and 353Nm torque). The engine is known for its strong performance and smooth running. The Pentastar V6 engine comes standard with fuel-saving engine start-stop (ESS) technology.
Those who want more power can select the 5.7-litre V8 engine (357 horsepower and 529 Nm torque). The V8 engine is lauded for performance efficiency courtesy of the VVT and Fuel Saver Technology (cylinder deactivation) it comes with.
Interior and Exterior Design
The team at Jeeps aimed to build the Jeep Grand Cherokee L with an interior that was exquisite yet technically advanced. And it achieved its goal using handcrafted materials and modern amenities that pair with other devices easily. The interior is soothing to the eyes, thanks to rich colors, comfortable materials, aesthetics and perfect finishing.
The Grand Cherokee L features a length-adjustable cushion for the front row in the Summit Reserve trim level. First-row seats with 16-way adjustable position with memory and lumbar are standard on Summit Reserve. You also get the option of five customizable seat back massages with Jeep Grand Cherokee L. The steering wheel is not just good to look at it also offers multiple functions with paddle shifters.
As for the exterior, the body proportion was inspired by the original Wagoneer, which happens to be the SUV maker’s first full-size luxury SUV. Jeep Grand Cherokee L features a longer hood and cab.
In the front, Jeep’s signature seven-slot, forward-tipped grille enhances the hood’s length further keeping Wagoneer’s iconic design in consideration. The roof is low and tapered for better aerodynamic performance and efficiency.
For the first time, Jeep Cherokee L is equipped with a premium, full suite of LED lighting as standard. This allows for design flexibility. The unique front grille is accompanied by ultra-slim headlamps and slim horizontal fog lamps.
In the rear, there are ultra-slim taillamps. The vehicle stands on 21-inch wheels elevating the Summit Reverse package to high levels of luxury. Other standard exterior features include puddle lighting projected from the rearview mirror and approach-lit door handles.
