It is no secret that Jeep will be unleashing a new-looking Grand Cherokee next year and it isn’t going to be anything like its predecessors. The Grand Cherokee Facelift was first spotted at the Easter Jeep Safari event and it replaced the typical 4×4 design with more muscles.
Obviously, Jeep must have realized the receding popularity of the 4×4 market and the trending crossover segment. The result is an enticing Grand Cherokee that exhibits class with its design language.
The first thing we can say about the SUV is that it is downright huge. The Grand Cherokee has an internal measurement of 41.1’’ of front leg-space, 55.1’’ second shoulder room, 57.6’’ front shoulder room, 39.4’’ front head room, 38.5’’ second head room, 40.3’’ second leg room, 53.8’’ front hip room and 49.9’’ second hip room.
On the disappointing end, the Jeep Grand Cherokee Facelift does not come with a 7-seater arrangement. Despite its gigantic size, the vehicle is nothing more than a 5-seater with a cargo space that will be unrivalled in size.
When the Jeep Grand Cherokee Facelift gets released, it will be offered in multiple trim levels that are identified as Limited, Sport, Latitude and Trailhawk. Regardless of the pick, the SUV will sport 5.7’’ minimum ground clearance, improved aerodynamics, a modified seven slot grille design, remodeled headlights and military gas can style taillights.
Under the hood, the vehicle comes with four different engine options. There is the 3.2-liter Pentastar V6 engine, 3-liter multi-jet diesel engine, 5.7-liter HEMI V8 engine and 6.4-liter HEMI V8 engine. The motor of choice will be paired to Jeep’s smart 4×4 drive system and ZF nine-speed automatic transmission that will ensure 184hp and 171ft-lbs of torque.
More importantly, Jeep promises for the Grand Cherokee to offer better fuel mileage with EPA estimations of 31 mpg highway, 22 mpg city and 25 mpg combined. The Grand Cherokee will have a starting price of $29,595 and is capped at $64,400.
