New Jeep Grand Cherokee Fort Wayne IN

Let's break down the power under the hood. The standard 3.6-liter Pentastar V-6 engine, all made from aluminum, kicks out a solid 293 horsepower and 260 lb.-ft. of torque. People love it for its blend of power and smoothness – the V-6's 60-degree cylinder bank arrangement ensures a naturally balanced operation. What's neat is that accessories bolt directly to the engine block, adding to that seamless performance. The 3.6-liter Pentastar V-6 engine isn't just another engine; it's earned its stripes. It's clearly a standout with seven Wards 10 Best Engines and Propulsion Systems awards. And let's not overlook its compact design, with exhaust manifolds smartly integrated into the cylinder heads. This V-6 engine can haul up to 6,200 pounds (2,812 kg) and boasts a class-leading estimated driving range of over 500 miles – quite the feat. Now, onto the Grand Cherokee 4xe. This beauty delivers a fuel efficiency of 56 MPGe and an impressive all-electric range of 25 miles. The secret sauce? A combination of two electric motors, a 400-volt battery pack, a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine, and the trusty TorqueFlite eight-speed automatic transmission. It's all about getting the most out of every drop of fuel while retaining top-notch performance. Speaking of the TorqueFlite eight-speed automatic transmission, both engines are paired with it. This transmission is a workhorse – not only does it boost fuel economy, but it also ensures smooth gear changes. The spread of gear ratios is wide, so the engine stays in its sweet spot whether you're cruising on the highway or exploring rugged trails. Plus, the transmission is clever enough to adapt its shifting strategy on the fly, responding to factors like engine torque, hills, temperature, and how you're maneuvering. It's tech and power working hand in hand.

The Jeep Grand Cherokee isn't just about unmatched capability – it also brings a composed and smooth experience on the road. But let's talk about what it's famous for its legendary off-road prowess. This magic starts with three 4x4 systems: Quadra-Trac I, Quadra-Trac II, and Quadra-Drive II with a unique rear electronic limited-slip differential (ELSD). These systems have something in common – an active transfer case that boosts traction by sending torque to the wheel with the most grip. This means no terrain is too challenging for the Grand Cherokee. Let's touch on something exclusive to this Jeep: the Quadra-Lift air suspension with electronic semi-active damping. Picture this – up to 10.9 inches (27.7 cm) of ground clearance and the ability to ford through 24 inches (61 cm) of water. And the cool part? The system is smart enough to tweak shock tuning based on road conditions, improving comfort, stability, and control. You can also take control manually using the console, and there are five different height settings for a ride that suits you perfectly. But wait, there's more. The Selec-Terrain traction management system takes things up a notch. It's a class leader for a reason. This system lets you pick between on-road or off-road modes, optimizing your 4x4 performance. This isn't just about power – it's about coordination. It electronically fine-tunes the 4x4 torque split, how the brakes and handling work, the steering, suspension systems, throttle control, transmission shifts, transfer case behavior, traction control, stability control, ABS, and even the steering feel. And just so you have options for any driving situation, there are five terrain modes: Auto, Sport, Rock, Snow, and Mud/Sand. This means you're always set up for success, no matter what the road (or lack thereof) throws your way.

The Jeep Grand Cherokee has a comprehensive suite of advanced safety features designed to keep you and those around you safe on the road. These include Full-Speed Collision Warning with Active Braking and Pedestrian/Cyclist Detection, ensuring you're alerted and protected in potential collision situations. Rear Cross Path detection enhances awareness when reversing, while Adaptive Cruise Control with Stop and Go takes the stress out of highway driving. Active Lane Management and LaneSense Lane Departure Warning with Lane Keep Assist keep you confident in your lane. The lineup also boasts Advanced Brake Assist, Blind-spot Monitoring, a ParkView rear backup camera, and ParkSense rear park assist sensors with stop functionality. With the convenience of a switch-activated electric park brake and the reassurance of tire-pressure monitoring, the Grand Cherokee covers all bases. And for added safety, features like a Night Vision camera with pedestrian and animal detection, Intersection Collision Assist, and a Drowsy Driver Detection system are in place to provide an extra layer of security and awareness during your journeys.
