2017 Jeep Grand Cherokee

The 2017 Jeep Grand Cherokee (WK2 generation, mid-cycle update) is a mid-size 5-passenger luxury SUV that blends high-end highway refinement with genuine off-road capability. Built on a rigid unibody chassis co-developed during the DaimlerChrysler era (sharing structural roots with the Mercedes-Benz GLE/M-Class), the 2017 update introduced a subtle front-end styling refresh, standard backup camera and rear park sensors across all trims, and the introduction of the off-road-focused Trailhawk trim alongside executive Summit and high-performance SRT variants.Powertrain options include the widely equipped 3.6-liter Pentastar V6 petrol engine (295 hp), an optional 5.7-liter HEMI V8 petrol engine (360 hp), a high-torque 3.0-liter EcoDiesel V6 engine (240 hp / 570 Nm), and the high-performance 6.4-liter HEMI V8 SRT (475 hp). All engines pair with a ZF-sourced 8-speed TorqueFlite automatic transmission. Drive options range from Rear-Wheel Drive (RWD) to three distinct 4x4 systems: Quadra-Trac I, Quadra-Trac II (with low-range transfer case), and Quadra-Drive II (featuring an Electronic Rear Limited-Slip Differential).The 5-seater cabin offers leather upholstery options, an available 8.4-inch Uconnect touchscreen infotainment system, optional Quadra-Lift air suspension with selectable ride heights, dual-zone automatic climate control, and a boot volume of 1,028 liters (expanding to 1,934 liters with the rear seats folded flat).
