New york auto show 2009: new jeep grand cherokee
New jeep grand cherokee on New York Auto Show 2009 – Chrysler introduces the jeep “new Grand Cherokee”, the new generation Jeep Grand Cherokee considerably modernized in order to catch up with European and Japanese SUV.
When presenting the new generation of Jeep Grand Cherokee, the vice-president of Chrysler gave journalists a brief overview of the interior of the future replacement for the Chrysler 300C via a projected image a very short moment on the panel presentation.
Aesthetically, the Grand Cherokee is changing quite significantly over the previous version. The front is smaller with a smaller grille and headlights finest. The profile is very classic but is managed with a successful surface treatment. Finally, the rear is clearly lacking in character with lights drawing banal. In short, the Grand Cherokee lost aggressiveness but also identity.
Although the association Daimler Chrysler is long over, the new Grand Cherokee uses a Mercedes ML. And so much better since Jeep announced that this new model is 146% more rigid than the previous generation. It also adopts the front and rear suspension independent should greatly improve the road. Air suspension Quadra-Lift will also be available.
The drive of the Grand Cherokee is available in three versions. The Quadra-Trac I propose 4-wheel drive without permanent settings possible. Meanwhile, the Quadra-Trac II features a transfer box and the ability to distribute power on the train with the most traction. Finally, the Quadra-Drive II adds a limited-slip differential with electronic management which distributes power between the wheels.
Under the hood, the Grand Cherokee receives a 3.6L V6 280ch and 353Nm and a 5.7L V8 Hemi 360ch and 520Nm of torque. Furthermore, the European version will also have diesel engines to have a place on the market.
Let’s hope that Chrysler has also produced a great effort in the quality (not only at the level of perceived quality) to give a real response to the report issued by the Auto Task Force.
