Chrysler Group has released images today of the all-new
2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee just 24 hours before production
is officially launched, revealing no visual changes
since the large SUV was first showed off by the
carmaker's previous owners a year ago. Then Chrysler was
sinking fast in a sea of debt and the Grand Cherokee was
presented in pre-production format due to a need to show
that there were new products in the pipeline.
Jeep
hopes that the all-new Grand Cherokee, which is based on
Mercedes' ML platform, will redefine the SUV industry,
delivering true duality: ultimate Jeep off-road
capability and on-road refinement for a premium driving
experience. Capability highlights include a choice of
three 4x4 systems, new Jeep Quadra-Lift Air Suspension
and Selec-Terrain systems and towing capability of 7,400
lbs. On-road dynamics are improved courtesy of new
independent front and rear suspension systems and a new
body structure that dramatically increases torsional
stiffness.
The
2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee features Chrysler Group’s
all-new 3.6-liter Pentastar V-6 engine that boasts an 11
percent improvement in fuel economy and delivers up to
23 mpg and more than 500 miles on one tank of gas.
Completely reengineered and redesigned for 2011 – with a
new sculpted body, athletic profile, panoramic dual-pane
sun roof and world-class interior with premium
soft-touch materials – the all-new Jeep Grand Cherokee
will be built at the Jefferson North Assembly Plant (JNAP)
in Detroit. Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo 4x2 models start
at a U.S. Manufacturer’s Suggested Retail Price of
$30,995 - $495 lower than the outgoing model. Grand
Cherokee Laredo 4x4 models start at $32,995 - $465 lower
than the outgoing model. Also available in Limited and
Overland models, the all-new 2011 Grand Cherokee arrives
in Jeep showrooms next month.
Chrysler Group will celebrate the production launch of
the all-new 2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee at Jefferson North
Assembly Plant, tomorrow. Chrysler Group Chief Executive
Officer Sergio Marchionne and Michigan Governor Jennifer
M. Granholm will join other government officials,
Chrysler Group executives, UAW leaders and employees to
celebrate the production launch of the new Grand
Cherokee.
