The 2021 Jeep Grand Cherokee caps off an incredible run for the fourth generation of Grand Cherokees. Each year, Jeep iterates and finds new ways to make the Grand Cherokee even better than before. While a Jeep from a few years ago might look similar, it’s nothing compared to what you’ll get with the 2021 model. Here are some of the features that people rave about after their first test drive.
1. The Best Grand Cherokee Engines Yet
It takes a lot of power to move over 4,000 pounds of Jeep. The previous generation’s V6 left drivers wanting more, so Jeep responded by upping the output to a fear-inducing 295 horsepower. With that much energy under the hood, the 2021 Grand Cherokee can reach 60mph in just 6.7 seconds, which would have been unthinkable before. You’ll feel confident as you cruise onto the highway with the V6.
But Jeep didn’t stop there. They grabbed their 5.7l Hemi V8 off the shelf and put it into the Grand Cherokee too. Available as an upgrade, this V8 provides a blistering 360 horsepower capable of towing up to 7200 pounds. If you’re looking for power, the Grand Cherokee has it in spades.
If you’re looking for an SUV that doubles as a sports car, check out the Grand Cherokee SRT. With an even more powerful V8 delivering 470 horsepower, get ready to turn your knuckles white as you hold on tight.
2. An Unparalleled Transmission
Power is great, but controlling it is even more important. The Grand Cherokee delivers power smoothly and precisely with its 8-speed automatic transmission. This isn’t your minivan’s automatic, however. This German 8-speed has been carefully tuned for the Grand Cherokee to provide optimal torque at low gears, perfect for off-road use. When you need to save gas on the highway, it uses its higher gears.
In a fifth of a second, this transmission can drop as many as 5 gears at once, meaning that if you need to suddenly pass someone you’ll get access to a ton of torque in a fraction of a second. It’s also highly efficient, helping the 2021 Grand Cherokee get an impressive 25mpg combined city and highway.
3. Creature Comforts for City Dwellers
Speaking of the city, we know most Jeep drivers aren’t going to be tearing up the trail every day. You still need a comfortable ride for your daily commute. You can upgrade your interior to include heated leather seats and a better sound system for the most enjoyable daily driver possible. The Grand Cherokee really is one of the few cars that can do it all.
4. Driver Assistance Options
The ProTech Safety and Security packages are optional and will riddle your Jeep with sensors and safety features to help you avoid collisions. If you choose the Trailhawk trim model, you’ll even get driver-assist features that help you when you’re off the pavement, such as hill descent control.
Overall, the 2021 Grand Cherokee has a lot to offer. To see it for yourself, visit Tom O’Brien Chrysler Jeep Dodge Ram in Greenwood Indiana today.
