Fourth generation Jeep Grand Cherokee Overland (
WK2;
2011–present)
The fourth-generation Jeep Grand Cherokee went on sale in summer
2010 as a 2011 model.[13] It was unveiled at the 2009
New York Auto Show.[14] During development of the WK2
Grand Cherokee, it was used as one of the examples of future products by
Chrysler management at the time to convince
United States federal regulators in 2009 of Chrysler's future viability in requesting a federal loan, which culminated in the
Chrysler Chapter 11 reorganization that same year.
The fourth-generation Grand Cherokee retains its classic
Jeep styling combined with a modern and sleek body style. The interior features leather trim and real wood accents, plus Bluetooth and uConnect electronics options. The 2011 Grand Cherokee has won 30 awards for off-road capability, luxury, value, best-in-class, and safety, making it the most awarded
SUV ever. Among the awards are: Top
Safety Pick for 2011 from the
IIHS, listed as a
Consumers Digest Best Buy for 2011, Safest SUV in
America by
MSN Autos, and
Truck of the Year for 2011 by
The Detroit News.[citation needed]
Like the previous generations, the chassis is a steel unibody. Unlike previous models, the new WK2 features four-wheel independent suspension for better on-road handling.
The Grand Cherokee (with the 2011
Durango) WK2 platform uses a derivative based on Mercedes-Benz's W166 series.
Four wheel drive systems include
Quadra-Trac I,
Quadra-Trac II, and
Quadra-Drive II. Using Selec-Terrain, the driver can select modes for
Auto,
Sport,
Snow,
Sand/Mud, and
Rock.
Optional Quadra-Lift height adjustable air suspension can raise the vehicle's ground clearance up to 11.1 in (282 mm).[15]
Lift modes include
Park,
Aero,
Normal Ride Height, Off-Road 1, and Off-Road 2.
Engine choices include the all new 3.6 L
Pentastar V6 and
5.7 L
Hemi V8. The Hemi V8 retains the
Multiple Displacement System (
MDS) that shuts down four cylinders in low-power driving situations. The V8 comes with the multi-speed automatic transmission that includes
Electronic Range Selection (
ERS) to manually limit the high gear operating range.
Trailer towing is rated 7,400 lb (3,400 kg) for Hemi models and 5,
000 lb (2,
300 kg) for Pentastar models.[16]
A 3.0 L turbocharged diesel V6 developed and built by
Fiat Powertrain Technologies and VM
Motori (with
Multijet II injection[17]) rated at 177 kW (
241 PS; 237 hp) and 550 N·m (410 lb·ft) of torque offered in export markets from mid-2011.[18]
The new 3.0 L
CRD turbodiesel engine is available in
European markets as
140 kW (190 PS; 188 hp) low-power version.[19]
The new Grand Cherokee
SRT8, which started production on July 16, 2011,[20] is equipped with a 470 hp (350 kW; 480
PS) 6.4 L Hemi V8 engine. Jeep claims the new SRT8 gets 13 percent better fuel economy than its predecessor.[citation needed] To keep the gas mileage respectable,[clarification needed] Jeep has employed a new active exhaust system that lets Chrysler's cylinder-deactivating
Fuel Saver
Technology operate over a wider rpm band. Chrysler claims that with the larger gas tank, the SUV can now travel up to
500 miles (800 km)
on a single tank, while other sources estimate range to be 450 miles (
720 km).
