Jeep Grand Cherokee 2012

What are you happy with: interior decoration. Perhaps, in this he loses only Mercedes ML. Everything is very solid and pleasant to the touch, a roof with a panoramic view, torpedo finish "under the skin", in the dark everything is illuminated with a very pleasant and original light, including cup holders and pockets in the side doors. Soundproofing Jeep Grand Cherokee on high. In my Volvo I put an additional one and it’s still cooler here. Good sound, stock subwoofer. Some unrealistic number of options for this money: HDD, heated steering wheel, ventilation of the front seats, orthopedic bolsters in the front seats, heating of all seats, tailgate lift, very well thought out system keyless entry(for example, it is impossible to accidentally lock the key in the car), tire pressure sensors, bi-xenon. Good set of off-road options. The system "Select Terrain", "lower", "pneuma", lifting the body very high, which is very convenient when storming ditches and even transverse logs. Very smooth ride around the city and on a flat track. Relatively low fuel consumption: 17 liters of the 92nd in the city, like the XC90 with 210 "horses". Bright appearance: in the provinces, people do not immediately know what kind of car. I just can’t get used to the suspension of the Jeep Grand Cherokee: when you smoothly go over bumps, the car is quite rolled, as it should be for an SUV, however, on a speed bump, at a not very high speed, it can break through the suspension. When braking hard, the Jeep Grand Cherokee nods quite noticeably, although this is probably a property of all big crossovers and SUVs.

Advantages : soundproofing. Music in the salon. Appearance. good engine

Flaws : not very big trunk.

The salon is not huge, with such dimensions of the body it could be more, but it’s enough for me, just right. The Jeep Grand Cherokee goes perfectly on the highway, the rolls are minimal, it doesn’t catch rutting, there is no buildup, now they don’t give a damn about the quality of the road, it seems that the suspension is generally impenetrable, excellent ride is not at the expense of handling. I read a lot in reviews about vibrations from sprung masses, so far I have never noticed in practice, maybe we just have good roads.

The noise isolation of the Jeep Grand Cherokee is good, but the stove above the 3rd stage seems to be noisy, but high revs I turn it on only to warm up the cabin. The climate is 2-zone, but the second row is not deprived of warmth. The dashboard is nice, but the speedometer seems to be overloaded (bold print, extra scale in miles), but the speed can be displayed on the on-board computer.

Advantages : comfort. Good soundproofing. Smooth running.

Flaws : noisy stove.

The appearance of the Jeep Grand Cherokee is simply excellent. I took a Jeep Grand Cherokee in white with a bright interior, with black tinted windows - it looks very impressive (although it is a very easily soiled white color, you have to wash it more often). Many drivers slow down, look, look out the window, some at the gas station come up and ask. He himself is not delighted with such attention, suddenly the car will go into the rank of stolen. Comfort - it feels like a modern car. Complete silence in the cabin, even studded tires are not audible. Powerful music with a subwoofer, always dreamed about it, DVD, 30 GB hard drive, parking sensors, rear view camera, electric trunk. Even the light (near-far) switches itself.

There are two things that the Jeep Grand Cherokee did not immediately like. Plastic "under the tree" and weak lateral support of the seats. Everything else is just great. According to the "running" in general, I like everything. The suspension is not "pneumatic", but "swallows" the bumps in the road very well. A little rolly in corners, but it's still a jeep, not a sports car. The Jeep Grand Cherokee engine paired with the box is just wonderful. The most unexpected is the consumption of gasoline. Now average consumption shows 14.7 liters, and this is the 92nd gasoline. In the city, about 17-18 liters, but on the highway no more than 10 at all. Unless, of course, you “light it up”.

Advantages : appearance. Noise isolation. Suspension.

Flaws : plastic in the cabin.

Jeep Grand Cherokee, 2014

For 2 years of operation of the Jeep Grand Cherokee, not a single structural failure. Only under warranty was the rear differential lock actuator replaced. (42,000 rubles). Vigorous powerful engine. If it weren’t for the car’s weight of 2500 kg, it could compete with classmates in terms of acceleration to 100 km / h. And in terms of fuel consumption, respectively, too. The operation of the engine, together with an 8-speed gearbox, I can rate 4 out of 5. If you evaluate by sensations - a "workhorse" with sports enthusiasm. I pressed the pedal from the traffic light to the floor - you get a good kick and acceleration. Gear shifts instantly, hence jerks up to 100 km / h are felt. The settings would be borrowed from RRS 2013-15 onwards. (operations perform the same, only much more gently). Road holding Jeep Grand Cherokee well, at all speed modes. Climate control can be rated 5+ out of 5. In winter, setting it to 22 and at the first speed of the stove fan, it is always warm to -15. Also when the air conditioner is running in the summer. Affects the sound and heat insulation of the cabin, double glazing in the doors. Multimedia center. Deserves special praise. Navigation is the best among those used in cars (compare with Range Rover Sport MY 2016). Firstly, the response of "Touchscreen" in multimedia on Jeep is instant. Graphics - "super". Displays traffic jams. Displays silhouettes of houses. All buildings are drawn in 3D. When typing the address, it immediately gives hints. When approaching intersections, interchanges, it automatically enlarges the picture, indicating the trajectory of movement. Indicates the allowed speed for the route. He makes comments when exceeding the allowed speed (I compare it with the Range Rover Sport 2016 MY - everything is somehow tight and complicated, the graphics of the terrain pattern are not very good). Electronic assistants- are helpful and do a great job. Special thanks to the collision avoidance sensor with the car in front. Now it is missing. And when most assistants are turned off, it gives the driver more opportunity than classmates.

Cons: Jeep Grand Cherokee weight - 2500 kg. (classmates 2200 kg). There are not enough door closers (doors, if you don’t slam hard, don’t close the first time). There are comments on the gaps in the doors. Seats - need more adjustments (not enough lateral support). The center console, starting from climate control and up to the armrest - to make a slightly better finishing material (instead of plastic). Check the oil level in the engine (it eats up during dynamic driving). Summing up, probably one of the best in price range- price and equipment.

Advantages : in a review.

Flaws : in a review.

Jeep Grand Cherokee, 2012

I am completely satisfied with the car, I wanted a car in this configuration and it was petrol version. Air suspension in the Jeep Grand Cherokee is just a song. Delivers only pleasure when driving. The previous owner changed the rear air bags at 80,000 and 90,000 miles, respectively. This is their weak point. But I don’t care much, buying a car of 2012, I didn’t want a re-styling, because I like it more and this is a true Grand Cherokee. Consumption in the city is about 15-16 liters with a normal driving style, without denying yourself anything. The route is about 11 liters at average speed 130-140 km/h. The car behaves well on the track, sails like a ship. Large in size, but thanks to circular parking sensors and a rear-view camera, parking on the Jeep Grand Cherokee is a pleasure. Visibility is slightly covered by the A-pillars, and therefore in the city you have to turn your head, especially at pedestrian crossings, so as not to roll away pedestrians jumping out in front of you. They respect the car on the road, let it pass everywhere without problems, having seen the maneuver shown by the direction indicator. Absolutely not stolen, tax 42,000 rubles. Plenty of space, wife and two children fit without problems. And in the trunk of the Jeep Grand Cherokee, a stroller and other luggage can easily fit, unlike the previous one. car KIA Sportage where for big family there was a very small trunk. The rear seats of the Jeep Grand Cherokee fold into a flat floor, you can safely sleep in the car at full height on outings. It "rulitsya" perfectly, in winter it warms up very quickly, it starts without problems. Consumption is absolutely adequate. The quality of the leather is good. The light is excellent, the disease - the lamps of the "fogs" and the neighbors burn out. It's not criminal for me. Many driving modes, moving in auto mode, completely satisfied. Rides quite decently, but it does not want to drive. The car is heavy, so you have to get used to the brakes in the city. Not critical. Cruise control on the highway helps a lot, works flawlessly.

Advantages : driving pleasure. Controllability. Comfort. Finish quality. Respect on the road

Flaws : small.

It has been producing SUVs for a very long time, which have always been well appreciated by customers. But, approaching the 90s, the management of the concern had to face the fact that strong competitors appeared in the world, and so strong that their products turned out to be even better than North American devices. In order to catch up, and perhaps even overtake their opponents, Jeep decides to release a model that to this day appears as one of the most powerful and stylish SUVs that exist in general.

Crossover Jeep Grand Cherokee 2017-2018 with a brutal appearance, which received a lot of approval from motorists. This is a popular car with a good history, which has been produced for a long time. This generation was released in 2014 and presented at the Detroit Auto Show.

Exterior

The appearance has changed, it has become more brutal and aggressive, which makes the model only for the male audience. In front we are met by a branded radiator grille in a chrome trim. The optics here are LED, it looks good. There is also a lot of chrome on the massive bumper, they are decorated with fog lights and air intakes.

On the side, we can observe 2 deep stampings and beautiful body lines. The wheel arches are quite swollen, which gives brutality from this side as well. The door handles are made of polished aluminum, and rear-view mirrors are also made of it.

At the back we are met by large optics with partially LED filling. There is a large spoiler on top, on which an LED brake light is duplicated. The bumper is made in such a way as to carry out convenient loading into the luggage compartment and improve practicality. The bumper itself has a chrome insert and 2 beautiful pipes exhaust system.

Vehicle dimensions:

• length - 2828 mm;
• width - 1943 mm;
• height - 1802 mm;
• wheelbase - 2915 mm;
• ground clearance - 205 mm.

Specifications

Type	Volume	Power	Torque	Overclocking	Max speed	Number of cylinders
Petrol	3.0 l	238 HP	295 H*m	9.8 sec.	-	V6
Diesel	3.0 l	247 HP	550 H*m	8.2 sec.	202 km/h	V6
Petrol	3.6 l	286 HP	347 H*m	8.3 sec.	206 km/h	V6

So the most new interpretation, has several configurations. The most "calm" engine here is a 3.0 liter diesel engine with a turbine. Its 247 horsepower, and, of course, 570 Nm of torque, take the car beyond a hundred in just 8.2 seconds. speed limit reached 202 km/h. The second most important engine is a 3.6 liter unit, this time a gasoline one. In terms of power, it is better, it produces 290 horses, but it frankly lags behind the diesel version - 260 Nm.

The speed characteristics are in fact identical, only acceleration in this case is 0.1 sec slower and a maximum of 1 km/h higher. Well, the top engine, from which everyone's hair stands on end - 6.4 liter petrol plant. Showing a result of 468 horses of power, as well as squeezing out 624 Nm of torque, this motor caught up and slightly overtook all the closest competitors. SUV Jeep Grand Cherokee 2018 takes off from the spot, thanks to its charge in 5 seconds to hundreds, and manages to develop a maximum of 257 km / h. Such an installation is docked with an 8-speed.

As for the suspension of an SUV, one thing can be said - it is quite soft, but this softness leaves its imprints on handling. With rapid acceleration, and thanks to a powerful engine, this is easy to do, sharp turns by the steering wheel are excluded, since the car begins to frankly “chat”. Most of the thrust goes to rear drive, and this also has a peculiar effect on the driving experience.

In the case of a measured ride, at sane speeds, the suspension will perform well, eat holes, give the feeling of a trip on a pillow. But all this is easy to change, because it is not in vain that the developers equipped the device with different driving modes. So more rigidly, or gently and softly, you can ride in different ways. However, in terms of the power on offer, I'd really like to see a more composed, perhaps slightly stiffer suspension in future generations.

Salon

Inside, everything is chic, really everything is expensive and beautiful. Here 5 seats, in front there are two seats with excellent lateral support and with power seats already in the basic configuration. The back row, respectively, is designed for 3 passengers and, in principle, they fit there and feel comfortable. There is a huge trunk with a volume of 457 liters, which, with the rear row folded down, increases to almost 1000 liters. In the luggage compartment there is a subwoofer and a cigarette lighter.

The driver's seat received a 3-spoke steering wheel with a large number of buttons to control the multimedia system. The steering wheel is adjustable in both height and reach. The dashboard is a beautiful display that displays analog gauges with a beautiful design.

There is leather on the dashboard, and on the center console there is a large touch screen multimedia system with navigation function. Also, multimedia displays can be located in the back of the headrests, but this is paid. Under the screen on the center console are elegantly designed controls for the air conditioning system, which here is 2-zone. Next comes a niche for small things.

On the tunnel are coasters with the possibility of heating or cooling. Also below is a puck and buttons for controlling multimedia without being distracted from the road.

Price Jeep Grand Cherokee 2017-2018

The model will be offered to the buyer in 3 trim levels, which differ precisely interior fittings. The first basic equipment costs 2,715,000 rubles and as a result, the buyer will receive:

• power seats;
• help start uphill;
• climate control;
• keyless access;
• audio training;
• rain and light sensor.

The most expensive version already worth it 3 565 000 rubles and there are enough improvements, and the car will get the following amount of money:

• leather upholstery;
• seat memory;
• heated and ventilated front seats and heated rear seats;
• rear view camera;
• improved audio system;
• LED optics.

Given the rather long history, and certainly not the easiest way, in general it is worth saying that this is a good American car. Probably for our realities, its quality may not be enough, but as a "city dweller", with a very cool engine, this beast will be able to show itself. Average passing ability, a salon with about the same quality, as well as the fame he earned in the 90s - these factors affect sales this car in the CIS countries.

Whatever the case, people love the Grad Cherokee, its terrifying exhaust sound, the spaciousness inside, the size, the style, and whatnot. The developers did not stint on the use of various kinds of technologies, so such a car will be able to compete with very many, for sure on the road. Well, and most importantly, we have a car in front of us that has great authority and, despite some shortcomings, although for many this is not so important, on the way, the majority looks at such an SUV with respect and admiration.

History of the Jeep Grand Cherokee / Jeep Grand Cherokee

In the early nineties, Jeep found itself in a difficult situation. The progenitor of a comfortable SUV was more and more forced out of the market he had created. The Japanese, having offered their own versions of the "urban SUV", surpassed their American counterparts, primarily in terms of comfort.

However, in 1992, Jeep took revenge. The Chrysler concern presented to the public the most comfortable and prestigious SUV in its lineup - the Jeep Grand Cherokee ZJ. This car impressed buyers with its elegant design, spacious and comfortable lounge, and richly equipped most versions. The model has become a worthy successor to the already outdated Jeep Grand Wagoneer SJ.

Initially, the Grand Cherokee was offered in four trim levels, but the simplest (Base) had to be abandoned in the same 1992. Laredo and Limited have received the greatest distribution. The main differences are in the types of transmissions and their control units. Externally, you can distinguish one from the other by the radiator grille (for Laredo it is chrome), bumpers and lining on the lower part of the doors (gray for Laredo and body-colored for Limited). The interior design is almost identical, but the Limited will please fans of leather seats.

For a very short time (from 1994 to 1995) the Grand Cherokee was produced in a special version for outdoor enthusiasts - Orvis. The model was distinguished by a reinforced suspension, factory protection of the transfer case, steering rods and even a gas tank. The interior trim used leather in two colors: brown and green. Outwardly, Orvis is easy to distinguish by red, and not golden, like the rest of the Grand Cherokee, moldings.

At the beginning of production, the Jeep Grand Cherokee ZJ debuted with a single 4-liter petrol 6-cylinder engine. (178 hp). This inline 12-valve "six" consumes according to the European standard 11.4 liters of fuel per 100 kilometers when driving on the highway and 21 liters in urban mode. Acceleration time to hundreds of km / h - 10.2 s, and maximum speed electronically limited to 180 km/h.

In 1993, a more powerful 5.2L 16-valve V8 engine appeared. (212 hp). Fuel consumption per 100 km has increased to 12.7 liters on the highway and 23 liters in the city. Acceleration dynamics improved: 9.8 s to 100 km/h. The maximum speed is 200 km/h.

The 1997 model year saw the introduction of the world's most powerful 16-valve 5.9-liter V8 engine. (241 hp). This engine consumes: 13.3 liters on the highway and 26.1 liters in the city. Up to a hundred Jeep Grand Cherokee with this engine accelerates in just 8.2 seconds, the maximum speed limit is 200 km/h.

On European version Jeep Grand Cherokee also installed a 2.5-liter diesel 4-cylinder 8-valve engine. (116 hp). Diesel uses separated fuel combustion chambers (the so-called swirl chamber scheme). Fuel consumption with a diesel is significantly lower than that of gasoline engines: 7.9 liters on the highway and 12.3 liters in the city. The maximum speed is 160 km/h.

Jeep Grand Cherokee for the US market was equipped exclusively with 4-speed "automatic", the lever of which is located under the steering wheel. On versions for Canada and Europe, the gearshift lever is located on the tunnel between the seats. The diesel version was equipped with only a 5-speed manual transmission. All engines are longitudinally located, with a system multipoint injection fuel. In the diesel power circuit, a turbocharger with intermediate air cooling is used.

The European version of the Jeep Grand Cherokee has been assembled in Austria since 1994 (since entering the European market) at the Steyr-Daimler-Puch joint venture. The cars are distinguished by the European distribution of headlights, the presence of turn indicators on the front fenders and yellow direction indicators in rear lights.

The first generation Grand Cherokee set new standards in the off-road world. The appearance of the Grand Cherokee was so successful that it has not changed for six years. Only in 1998, the first generation Jeep Grand Cherokee was discontinued, replaced by a more advanced model with the same name. The second generation of a comfortable SUV was produced under the WJ index.

In the new version, the jeep received smoother body lines, the shape of the block headlights changed, and fog lights were successfully inserted into the front bumper, but at the same time they retained continuity with the previous one. Jeep model Grand Cherokee ZJ.

On the 1999 model of the first generation of power units, only gasoline was retained, with a volume of 4.0 liters. (190 hp), But two new engines appeared: a 5-cylinder diesel engine with a volume of 3.1 liters (140 hp) and an 8-cylinder V-shaped gasoline with a volume of 4.7 liters with a capacity of 220 hp. For the European market, a modification equipped with a 2.7-liter turbodiesel is offered.

All engines are equipped only with an automatic hydromechanical adaptive 4-speed "automatic". All-wheel drive chassis are equipped with a transfer case with the Quadra-Trac II system (in the USA - Quadra Drive II), which automatically redistributes the engine torque along the axes in a ratio from 0 to 100%. The rear axle is equipped with a Van-Corn limited slip differential, which regulates the distribution of torque to the wheels using a built-in viscous coupling, depending on their slip.

In 2003, at the Geneva auto show, an updated version of the Jeep Grand Cherokee SUV was presented. It is easy to distinguish it from an older modification by a slightly different design of the front of the body, where a new radiator grille appeared, slightly different headlights with transparent caps and fog lights integrated into the bumper. Despite its popularity, the model was outdated and urgently needed updating. And at the New York Auto Show in 2004, the third generation Jeep Grand Cherokee appeared before the public.

The car offers improved power, excellent road performance and a well-equipped saloon.Round halogen headlights and an aggressive grille gave the exterior a distinctive look. The car has increased in length and width, the rear lights have become larger, Windshield became flatter, improved aerodynamic qualities. In a word, the appearance of the Grand Cherokee III has not undergone any radical changes, but still you can’t confuse it with the previous generation.

Inside, the SUV has changed much more - now its design is designed in the European spirit. Salon is very ergonomic, spacious and comfortable. Two-tone seats harmonize with the dashboard of the same color. The dark top of the panel plays not only an aesthetic, but also a practical role - in bright sunlight, it casts less glare. Seat cushions have become more resilient. Only high-quality materials were used in the interior design. The car is equipped with a Boston Acoustics audio system with 6 speakers, optionally you can order a DVD system for rear passengers.

The top model Grand Cherokee is equipped with a 5.7-liter 8-cylinder HEMI engine with a capacity of 325 liters. c.. This is the most powerful unit ever offered for the Grand Cherokee. It also uses MDS (Multi Displacement System) variable volume technology - in cases where full power engine is not needed, it disables 4 of the eight cylinders, which saves fuel. The 4.7-liter V8 used in the previous generation of the model has also been improved. Now he gives out 230 hp. With. power and 393 Nm of torque. base model equipped with a 3.7-liter V6 with a capacity of 210 hp. With. and a torque of 319 Nm. All engines are mated to a 5-speed automatic transmission.

The all-new independent front suspension gives the driver total control and reduces vehicle weight. At the rear, a 5-link suspension with anti-roll bar is installed.

For the first time in Jeep SUVs, ESP is included as standard to help the driver cope with difficult road conditions and reduce the risk of skidding. All this, as well as the increased center distance, made it possible to raise the handling of the Jeep Grand Cherokee to a whole new level.

Two new systems have been developed for the third generation Jeep Grand Cherokee all-wheel drive. The Quadra-Trac II system with low range, electronically controlled center differential lock and 4 BTC wheel slip braking system allows the car to feel confident off-road. The Quadra-Drive II system with low range and electronically controlled locking of 3 differentials: center, front and rear axles, provides the Grand Cherokee with amazing off-road capabilities.

Third generation release legendary model set up at the Magna Steyr plant in Austria.

The change of generations in 2004 did not bring brand Jeep desired sales growth. The potential buyer preferred more modern crossovers. The company understood that in order to remain competitive, the Grand Cherokee needed to be endowed with the handling of a passenger car, without losing traditional customers who value the car for its off-road qualities. So at the New York Auto Show in 2009, the fourth generation of the model saw the light.

The car is built on borrowed from Mercedes-Benz M-class platform. Grand Cherokee fourth generation took in all the latest technical achievements companies, dressing them in an elegant, not devoid of family features body. Jeep Grand Cherokee 2011 model year began to look much more modern, aggressive and muscular than its predecessor. In the exterior design, first of all, attention is drawn to a large radiator grille with seven vertical slots, small body overhangs and pronounced trapezoidal wheel arches. The car has become less angular, spectacular narrowed headlights not only meet fashion trends, but also give the appearance of dynamism. In addition, the body of the SUV has become more rigid, and its aerodynamic qualities have improved, for example, the coefficient drag dropped to (0.373).

The interior of the Grand Cherokee meets with high-quality finishing materials and fresh style solutions. The main instruments are located in two separate "wells" with a chrome frame. Indications on-board computer displayed on a separate display on the instrument panel. The dimensions of the cabin are impressive. An increase of 135 mm in the wheelbase (now it is 2915 mm) made it possible to provide more space for passengers and luggage. The legroom for the rear passengers has noticeably increased, which undoubtedly had a positive effect on the level of comfort. Not deprived of comfort and front passengers. Comfortable seats with good lateral support, having a wide range of adjustments, including lumbar support, as well as a steering column adjustable in height and reach, offer good opportunities for choosing the optimal position. There was also a slight increase in volume luggage compartment, which is now 990 liters, and 1945 liters with the rear seats folded down.

Special attention deserves changes in the design of the car. The Grand Cherokee now features a monocoque body structure and fully independent suspension to enhance handling and ride comfort on paved roads.

In addition, the fourth generation is presented for the first time with Quadra-Lift air suspension (only available in the "Overland" version), with five different settings, each characterized by different sizes ground clearance. In "normal" mode (NRH) ground clearance is 204.5 mm, in "Off-road 1" - 242.5 mm. Off-road 2 mode delivers 270.5mm and is ideal for navigating difficult terrain, while Park mode delivers 164.5mm ground clearance for easy boarding and disembarking. Aero mode 189.5 mm is designed for driving on highways and is activated automatically when a certain speed is reached.

A very successful addition to the air suspension is new system Selec Terrain. It allows the driver to select modes for optimal on-road and off-road performance. The system coordinates up to 12 different systems that control the powertrain, braking system and suspension, including steering throttle valve, automatic transmission range shifting, transfer case gears, traction control and dynamic stabilization. The driver can select one of five modes for optimal driving performance on any roads and off-road: Sand / Mud (sand / mud), Sport (sport), Auto (auto), Snow (snow), Rock (stones).

As for the drive, here the company's engineers did without bright prime ministers and applied two time-tested schemes, however, having previously modernized them. For example, center differential Quadra Trac II is no longer provided for in the drive circuit, it is responsible for the distribution of torque friction clutch with electronic control. Depending on the road conditions up to 100 percent of the torque can be realized through the wheels of one of the axles. Transfer case has a reduction gear with a gear ratio of 2.72.

Quadra-Drive II with Electronically Controlled Limited Slip Rear Differential (ELSD) delivers best-in-class traction. The system constantly monitors the level of slip of the wheels and smoothly redistributes the torque between the wheels with better grip. In some cases, the system is able to predict the onset of slippage of the wheels and manages the distribution of torque between them to forcefully reduce the level of slip.

First time on Russian market The Grand Cherokee was introduced with two engine options: the all-new 3.6 and the proven 352 hp 5.7 HEMI engine. and a torque of 520 N * m. The previous generation Jeep Grand Cherokee, which was produced from 2004 to 2010, was equipped with this engine. 5.7 HEMI easily accelerated the previous Grand Cherokee body in 7.1 seconds, however, according to official data, in combination with the new 5.7 body, it shows much more modest results - 0-100 km / h in 8.7 seconds. At the same time, 5.7 remained no less voracious, despite the system of cylinders that can be switched off. The owners of this car need to be prepared for the consumption of 25 liters of 95 gasoline per 100 km.

3.6 DOHC - absolutely new engine, designed specifically for the 2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee, shows quite decent performance: 286 hp and 347 N * m of torque. According to the manufacturer, the Jeep Grand Cherokee, equipped with a 3.6-liter power unit, can accelerate to 100 km / h in 9.1 seconds. This is only 0.4 seconds slower than the Jeep Grand Cherokee 5.7 HEMI. At the same time, the consumption of 3.6 DOHC is noticeably more economical than about 18 liters per 100 km in the city. Regardless of the modification, a 5-speed “automatic” with a manual gear selection function is offered as a transmission.

On September 1, 2011, sales of the Jeep Grand Cherokee began in Russia with a new 3.0-liter V6 diesel engine equipped with a direct injection fuel and turbocharging. This engine, developed in collaboration with Fiat, develops 241 hp. power at 4000 rpm and reaches 550 N m of torque in the range of 1800-2800 rpm. The fuel consumption of a car equipped with this engine, in combined cycle is 8.3 l / 100 km. CO2 emissions (also combined) up to 218 g/km.

The car is made at a high quality level in terms of safety. The design includes 45 systems and components that can help in a critical situation. The basic equipment includes an anti-lock braking system (ABS), a stabilization system (ESP), seven airbags, dual zone climate control, full power package, alloy wheels, a multimedia system with touch screen, adaptive bi-xenon headlights.

In the asset of this generation is attractive appearance, rich equipment, spacious salon, good handling, decent dynamics, comfort and, of course, excellent off-road qualities.

Four years after the debut of the fourth generation of the model, Jeep decided to update its flagship Grand Cherokee SUV. The 2014 model year car was first shown to the public at the Detroit Auto Show. The model has undergone changes both outside and inside, and also received a new diesel engine and a modified automatic transmission.

Characteristic elements of restyling are "squinted" headlights, in modern fashion, surrounded by LED strips of running lights, a modified radiator grille and fog lights, which are now located higher on the bumper. LEDs settled in the rear lights new form, and the stern itself received an enlarged roof spoiler, a new bumper and twin chrome exhaust tips.

Inside, the 2014 Grand Cherokee has been modernized and refined. In interior decoration, which has been released for more than high level, high-quality leather, combined with wood and aluminum, is widely used. The car received a three-spoke steering wheel and gear selector of a new design, a fundamentally different design of the climate control unit. Separate words deserve an updated dashboard with a 7-inch TFT display in the central part, which visually looks like part of the speedometer on the left and the odometer - the digital image is complemented by analog semicircles. The developers have promised more than 120 different combinations of data on the dashboard. When switching to sport mode, the instruments change the backlight. The driver can choose a digital or analog speedometer, display detailed trip data. Fuel consumption, engine temperature, tachometer, compass, range - all this is displayed on dashboard. You can also call up an additional menu where you can see anything you want - from songs and calls to suspension indicators.

The UConnect multimedia system with an 8.4-inch touch screen appeared on the front panel. Music, navigation, picture from the rear view camera. All controls are touch. This screen even performs operations such as ventilation or seat heating.

The place of the rather cumbersome “automatic” lever has now been taken by an elegant eight-speed automatic transmission joystick selector from the German company “ZF”. It does not obscure the buttons on the center console and is made in such convenient form, which may well serve as a stand for the hand, so that if necessary, work with the keys and controls located nearby.

The car retained the previous range of engines and undercarriage, but received a new 8-speed automatic transmission. This gearbox, which is standard on all trim levels, can significantly reduce fuel consumption and emissions, improve dynamic characteristics car, and also provides a smooth and fast gear change.

If we compare the characteristics of the previous and updated Grand Cherokee, the difference is noticeable. The version with a three-liter turbodiesel still accelerates to “hundreds” in 8.2 seconds, but its “appetite” has decreased to 7.5 liters of fuel per 100 km. A car with a 3.6-liter gasoline V6 takes the first 100 km / h in 8.3 seconds (previously - in 9.1) and consumes 10.4 liters of gasoline per hundred-kilometer run against the previous 11 liters. The performance of the modification with a 5.7-liter V8 also improved: acceleration in 7.3 seconds (it was 8.7), gasoline consumption was 13 liters (it was 14.1).

The entire running and off-road arsenal of the Grand Cherokee 2014 was taken over from its predecessor without any modifications. These are the Quadra-Drive II all-wheel drive system with constant redistribution of traction along the axles, and the Selec-Terrain traction control system, and the Quadra-Lift air suspension, which allows you to increase the ground clearance up to 28 cm.

In the basic configuration of the car there are additional systems active safety: Parking assistant, adaptive cruise control and forward collision warning.

Stylish midsize crossover The Jeep Grand Cherokee is manufactured by Chrysler and the first American SUV appeared in January 1992. The car is assembled in Detroit (Michigan), it is still being produced.

In the entire history of the existence of the model, four generations of cars were created, the first cars produced in the ZJ body from 1992 to 1998 had a slightly angular design.

The Jeep Grand Cherokee ZJ is a truly legendary car, such jeeps were once driven by cool lads, dashing hot guys and successful businessmen. The Grand Cherokee WK2 off-road vehicle of the last years of production is already a modern, presentable high-reliability car, with excellent equipment and excellent technical characteristics.

A bit of history

In the mid-90s in Russia, the owners of the Grand Cherokee were considered very rich people - the SUV was a symbol of luxury and fabulous wealth. Although the car has been mass-produced since 1992, its history began much earlier.

The history of the creation of the Grand Cherokee begins in 1983, when the American company AMC prepared for the launch of mass production compact SUV Jeep Cherokee (XJ). It was this model that served as the basis for future series Grand. The American Motor Company began developing a new project in 1985, it was assumed that the new model would seriously compete with cars of larger automobile concerns.

In 1987, AMC was bought by Chrysler Corporation, but work on the creation of a new SUV was continued, although the Grand Cherokee went into mass production much later. The reason for this long delay was CEO company Lee Iacocca, he believed that the combined Jeep-Chrysler concern should produce minivans, and the debut of the Grand Cherokee was periodically postponed.

The presentation of the new car brand took place in 1992, for the first time the car was presented at the international auto show in Detroit, in the USA. In the same year, on April 19, the company began serial production cars, and cars went into mass sale since 1993.

Unlike classical frame SUVs all Grand Cherokee models have a steel one-piece body and have never had a frame fitted. Initially, the ZJ model was produced in three trim levels:

• basic (SE);
• loredo;
• limited.

IN basic version the car was equipped with a fabric interior and a standard five-speed manual transmission. The SE package did not have power windows and central locking, but provided for the driver's Airbag and ABS system. Due to small price difference base configurations(SE) was in little demand, and was soon discontinued. Instead, they began to produce Grand Cherokee equipped with Orvis (from 1995 to 1997), and then TSI (1997-99).

Since 1995, the base car was Laredo, the SUV package included:

• power windows of all doors;
• central locking;
• leather steering wheel;
• Cruise control.

The rims for the Jeep Grand Cherokee in this configuration were installed cast, five-spoke, with a radius of R15.

Limited is a premium model that boasts such standard options How:

• leather interior;
• heated mirrors;
• wooden inserts in the interior of the cabin;
• heated and electrically adjustable front seats;
• immobilizer;
• stereo audio system with multi-band equalizer.

From the very beginning of the production of the Grand Cherokee Zj, only one type of power unit was installed on the car, it was equipped with a 4-liter gasoline engine with a capacity of 190 liters. With. (6 cylinders, in-line, 12 valves). Paired with this engine was a four-speed automatic transmission or manual transmission Aisin AX15. But the manual transmission was not in demand, and in 1994 it was discontinued. Please note that for the European market mechanical box cars were equipped with diesel engines that were not produced for the USA.

Later, an eight-cylinder V8 gasoline engine with a volume of 5.2 liters appeared on the model, and since 1998 a 5.9-liter power unit with a capacity of 245 hp went into series. With. According to the Chrysler-Jeep company itself, in the Limited 5.9 configuration at that time, the Grand Cherokee was the fastest SUV in the world. The machine in this equipment was different:

• heavy-duty automatic transmission type 46RE;
• body-colored grille with mesh inserts;
• generator increased power 150 Amp;
• chrome-plated nozzle on the muffler pipe;
• another type of moldings;
• rims of the 16th radius.

In 1994, the Grand Cherokee ZJ began to be assembled in Austria; cars with a 2.5-liter turbodiesel with a capacity of 115 hp were produced for the European market. With. In total, the American company produced almost one and a half million SUVs from 1992 to 1998, and since the model turned out to be very successful, it has never been restyled.

Second generation model

The Grand Cherokee 2 was produced from 1999 to 2004, on this model the spare tire was transferred from luggage compartment under the floor The main innovation of this generation of SUVs is the advanced Quadra-Drive all-wheel drive system, which can operate in three modes:

• conventional four-wheel drive;
• four-wheel drive with reduction gear;
• neutral

The Grand Cherokee-2 was replaced by a lineup of engines - the old bulky ICEs of 5.2 and 5.9 liters were no longer installed, but a lighter, economical 4.7-liter gasoline engine appeared in the line of power units, as well as a 3.1-liter diesel engine (5 cylinders) with a capacity of 140 horsepower. Of the old engines, only a 4-liter six-cylinder internal combustion engine remained, but it was modernized - due to refinement intake manifold its power increased by 10 hp. With.

The WJ SUV is equipped with only two types of automatic transmission - 45RFE and 545RFE. Unlike the standard four-stage automatic transmission, in these boxes there are three sets of planetary gears, and not two, as is usually the case in 4-st. automatic transmission. Theoretically, this box can be called a 6-mortar, although in reality it uses 5 speeds - four regular and one reduction. But in Chrysler specifications indicated the automatic transmission as a 4-speed, and in 2001 the transmission was modernized, and all 6 gears were involved in it.

The interior of the WJ has been significantly improved compared to the first generation SUV:

• increased space for rear passengers;
• panel control has become more convenient;
• the on-board computer was placed at the level of the windshield.

The assembly of this model was carried out not only in the USA (Detroit), but in several other countries:

• Austria;
• Argentina;
• China;
• Venezuela.

In 2004, the car was produced small restyling, the changes affected the foglights, instrument panel and radiator grille. It should be noted that the Beijing Grand Cherokee WJ is still in production (as of April 2016).

Grand Cherokee WK debuted in 2004, first introduced in New York. This car was launched into the series a year later, and was produced until 2010. The following major changes have been made to this model:

• the four-wheel drive was modernized (the Quadra-Drive II system began to be used);

There have been changes in the line of power units:

• instead of a 4-liter V6, a 3.7-liter engine appeared;
• model range replenished with 8-cylinder V8 gasoline engine volume of 5.7 liters.

Due to the fact that SUV cars began to be in demand on the market, Chrysler changed its policy - Cherokee WK no longer had a very high traffic, and looked more like a crossover.

In 2008, the car was slightly upgraded:

• modified front bumper;
• changed front optics.

In the restyled version, the changes also affected the 4.7-liter engine, its power increased from 235 to 305 hp. With.

The first "fourth" Grand Cherokee was shown at the New York Auto Show in 2009. This machine has been produced from 2010 to the present (2016). The creators of the model tried to keep the classic style for a jeep, but the forms are already characterized by modern streamlining. Just like on previous versions of the Grand Cherokee, the WK2 crossover features a rich interior:

• leather interior;
• plug-in element made of natural wood.

Unlike all previous generations of the SUV, the Grand Cherokee-4 crossover has an independent suspension on both axles. The car uses four all-wheel drive systems, and depending on the condition of the road, the driver can select the mode;

Jeep Grand Cherokee reviews

• modern, attractive design;
• good cross-country ability, especially remarkable off-road qualities are noted in cars of the first two generations;
• high reliability;
• good quality of painting, high resistance of the body to corrosion;
• excellent dynamics.

There are also flaws in the car, but they are few. The main disadvantage is a considerable fuel consumption, but it is difficult to expect anything else here, since all engines are voluminous. Many more car owners complain about the low illumination of the headlights, but this drawback applies more to first-generation SUVs.

Every year, fewer and fewer real SUVs appear on sale, as this class is gradually replacing the crossover class. Jeep Grand Cherokee 2017 ( new body), configuration and price, the photo of which will be discussed below, is built on the same base that was presented in 2010. In 2013, the car underwent significant changes, after which the SUV changed several more times. New Jeep Grand Cherokee 2017 comes in three trim levels, the cheapest will cost 2,850,000 rubles. For this money, the American automaker provides a car with new head optics, an updated bumper, a modified trunk roof and modern equipment.

Exterior

Every year, the SUV gradually changed, in this case, the changes affected only the optics and some exterior elements. The features of the car can be called:

• The optics are much smaller than before. In order to provide a sufficient degree of illumination, diode technology was used. This creates a rather attractive appearance when the running lights are turned on.
