The 2019 Jeep Grand Cherokee Is an Awesome Off-Roader and a Comfortable Cruiser

What if we told you that an SUV could drive over rocks, hills, and trails with ease, while also giving you a relaxed, composed ride on the highway? You can have all that with a Jeep Grand Cherokee. The new Grand Cherokee still has all the traction, ground clearance, and water fording ability that's typical of Jeeps. But it now has a fresh, updated look, with a modern front fascia and available daytime running lamps and 20-inch wheels. It also has new, easier to use technology, and people in the Lafayette and Ville Platte, LA areas can browse through numerous new Grand Cherokee models at Sterling Chrysler Jeep Dodge Ram.

You probably already knew that the Jeep Grand Cherokee could drive up mountainsides, power through running streams, and dig through muddy, rutty roads and trails. But it's also a comfortable daily cruiser, with well-weighted steering and firm brakes. You can choose from four available engines, including the standard 295-horsepower 3.6-liter V6 engine, a 360-horsepower 5.7-liter V8, a 475-horsepower 6.4-liter engine, and a 707-horsepower 6.2-liter V8 motor. Drivers in the Breaux Bridge and Carencro areas who like to zip through traffic will appreciate the 6.4-liter V8, which can get you from 0 to 60 mph in under five seconds. The new Jeep Grand Cherokee has three available four-wheel drive systems that can get you most anywhere. Its Selec-Terrain Traction Management System includes Snow Mode to minimize slippage and oversteer. Trackhawk and SRT models have a special Tow mode in the Selec-Track System that allows them to tow up to 7,200 pounds.

Jeep increased the cargo area in the Jeep Grand Cherokee giving it more than 63 cubic feet of cargo space with its rear seats folded down. Cloth seats and a leather-wrapped shift knob and steering wheel come standard, but leather/suede, leather, and Nappa leather seats are available. The Grand Cherokee's base Laredo model comes with an infotainment system featuring a 7-inch touchscreen with support for Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Other standard features on the new Grand Cherokee include dual-zone automatic climate control, a proximity key, and push-button start. An available dual-paned panoramic sunroof lets in a lot of light and allows magnificent views of the outdoor scenery.
