Lexington KY Jeep Shoppers Love The Best In Its Class Grand Cherokee

Don Marshall Chrysler Center has the 2011 Grand Cherokee for Lexington KY Jeep shoppers.  The Grand Cherokee was named the highest in its segment in the Total Quality Index. The 2011 Grand Cherokee is a rugged and capable SUV that’s sure to impress any Lexington KY Jeep driver.

The Total Quality Index asks buyers to rate all aspects of the ownership experience: from buying and owning to performance and driving.  In short, the total  sum of the emotional experience for the driver.  The 2011 model saw a 29 point improvement over last year, ranking it higher than any other brand.

The 2011 Grand Cherokee is offered with two engine options: a 3.6-liter Pentastar V6 and a 5.7-liter Hemi V8.  The Pentastar gets 290 horsepower and 260 lb-ft of torque.  The Hemi gets 360 horsepower and 390 lb-ft of torque.  Upgrading the engine increases the towing capacity from 5,000 to 7,200 pounds. 

Lexington KY Jeep Shoppers Love The Grand Cherokee

The new Grand Cherokee has features designed for families as well as off-road enthusiasts.  For those interested in going off-road, the wheels are on independent suspension for the first time, while the Quadra Trac II system (for all-wheel drives versions) tells each wheel how much power is needed depending on the type of terrain.  With the optional Quadra Lift air suspension, small bumps in the road become completely imperceptible.  The cargo area is 35.1 cubic feet, 5.6 more than the previous model.

For Lexington KY Jeep families, the onboard computer has 30 gigabytes of storage space for music (roughly the same as a mid-range iPod.)  Satellite TV and surround-sound speakers come with the rear seat entertainment system.  The rear seat has been expanded to allow more legroom, and is now as comfortable as a luxury SUV.

The 2011 Grand Cherokee was the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety’s top safety pick for 2010.  Receiving this award requires a vehicle to receive top scores in all categories, including a roof crush test, side and front impact tests, whiplash prevention tests and others.  A vehicle that qualifies must also have an electronic stability system, which is standard in all packages.  For the Limited and Overland trims, a blind spot detection system, collision warning and backup camera are available.
