Design
Just because the Grand Cherokee is a champ in the dirt, doesn't mean it's a chore to drive on paved roads. It's an easygoing, high-utility workhorse, with leather-lined luxury-you basically get the best of both worlds.
The classic seven-slotted grille and headlight design express absolute boldness. With nine different styles to choose from, there's something for everyone, each more prestigious than the next, from the powerful Trackhawk to the luxurious Summit.
This midsize SUV has a well-designed cabin with spacious seating for your whole family, as well as spacious storage for sports equipment, camping gear, or a week's worth of groceries. The large cargo area is a robust 68.3 cubic feet when the backseat is folded flat. Not only does the cargo wield great storage, you'll find driver and passenger side cubbies, a large center console, and a spacious glove box for convenient storage.
The 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee can seat five comfortably. Cloth upholstery is standard, and heated/cooled front seats and Nappa leather are optional. Whether you're driving to work each day, or taking your entire family for a weekend camping trip, the 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee is designed to handle just about anything.
Performance
Jeep offers four engine choices for the 2018 Grand Cherokee, all paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission. The 3.6L Pentastar V6 engine with Stop/Start technology is standard on all Grand Cherokee 4x2 models and Laredo 4x4 and gets an estimated EPA of 19 mpg city and 26 mpg highway.
The 5.7L HEMI V8 engine with Fuel Saver Technology is available on Grand Cherokee Limited, Trailhawk, Overland, and Summit 4x4 models. The Trackhawk comes with the Supercharged 6.2L HEMI V8 Engine with 707 horsepower and 645 lb-ft of torque that gets an estimated EPA 13 mpg city and 20 mpg highway. The Grand Cherokee SRT comes with the powerful 6.4L HEMI SRT V8 engine with Eco Mode.
For all of you weekend-warriors out there, Jeep offers some amazing available off-road systems for your 2018 Grand Cherokee. Quadra-Lift Air Suspension raises the Cherokee's ground clearance to 10.8 inches, Selec-Speed Control with Hill Ascent Control and Quadra-Drive II with a rear Electronic Limited-Slip Differential make climbing and descending hills a cinch, and the available Selec-Terrain Traction Management System has five settings, snow, sand, auto, mud or rock to maximize traction on any type of terrain.
Safety and Tech
Of course one of Jeep's priorities was to include the latest in active safety features to reduce the risk of accidents. Automated Parking, Park Assist, and rear back up camera all help to maneuver in tight spaces. The Grand Cherokee also provides various on-road safety, such as Lane Keep Assist, Blind Spot Monitoring System, and Forward Collision Warning with Active Braking. In the unfortunate event that an accident does occur, there are seven airbags; three in the front, two on the sides, and two near the rear seats to help keep you safe upon impact.
A 7-inch touchscreen is standard for 2018 with an available 8.4-inch touchscreen. Jeep's Uconnect infotainment system, regarded as one of the best on the market, keeps you connected with available Navigation, Siri, Bluetooth, Streaming Audio, Voice Command, and Apple CarPlay and Android Auto integration.
Iowa City drivers barely have to take their eyes off the road to see the well-placed vehicle information displayed on the customer-configurable full-color 7-inch Driver Information Digital Cluster Display. Remember a few decades ago when driver information consisted of a fuel gauge, speed limit, and tachometer? This incredible system displays everything from driving speed, song, artist, radio station, available Selec-Terrain Traction Management System information, available Quadra-Lift suspension system information, to available Navigation.
