The new 2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee

Chrysler has had a tough time encouraging new car sales, and part of the problem is a lack of fresh offerings. In an attempt to remedy this, Chrysler is gearing up to release the 2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee. The Jeep Grand Cherokee has long been an important model to Jeep and Chrysler, and the all-new 2011 model promises to be incredibly important as Chrysler needs to have a hit among consumers.

Just released at the 2009 New York Auto Show, the 2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee shows plenty of promise. The exterior design is far more upscale than the current model. In addition, the new Grand Cherokee is based on the Mercedes-Benz M-Class, which Chrysler Jeep Dealership St Louis expects will ensure this new jeep gets plenty of technology and a quality ride. The 2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee also features a new air suspension that can raise or lower the vehicle about 4 inches. The latest Cherokee is clearly an attempt to be the premier luxury model in the Jeep lineup, while also retaining the Jeep's classic off-road prowess.

With an all-new fully independent suspension, coupled with a substantial more rigid chassis, the 2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee should provide outstanding on-road driving dynamics. For off-road enthusiasts, used car dealer Birmingham expects the 2011 Cherokee should meet any challenges with ease. The new model includes an electronic limited-slip differential to provide superior off-road traction, in addition to a transfer case with various electronically controlled settings.

Inside, most buyers will notice a stark difference when compared with the current Jeep Grand Cherokee. The interior is far more luxurious, and features loads of leather, real wood accents, and even front and rear heated seats. While making the interior more luxurious, used car Lubbock dealers note that the 2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee also remains functional with ample storage pins and cargo spaces, just like the current model.

Under the hood of the 2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee is a V6 engine that produces 280 horsepower while still providing competitive fuel efficiency. Also available is a 5.7-liter Hemi V8 that produces 360 horsepower and is certainly an attractive choice for those that require high towing capabilities.

Although the 2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee appears to be more luxurious than ever before, Buffalo Chrysler dealers were happy to hear that Chrysler execs claim that it will still be priced for volume. If it retains the current pricing, Chrysler may very well have the success it needs to fuel sales and other all-new products.
