Additional Description: The Jeep Grand Cherokee offers superior off-road capability comparable to that of the upscale Land Rover LR3. This makes the Grand Cherokee a fine choice for families who venture off-road or vacation in the mountains or other remote areas. Its edgy and angular lines make it instantly recognizable as a Jeep. Inside the atmosphere is light comfortable and enveloping with lots of seat adjustments and excellent outward vision around relatively slim windshield posts.With nearly 70 cubic feet of cargo space the Grand Cherokee is useful for hauling whatever a family may need.A wide range of engines is available. The 5.7-liter Hemi V8 is updated for 2010 increasing from 330 to 357 horsepower. The Hemi is particularly good for towing or driving at higher elevations. The high-performance SRT8 model has a 420-horsepower 6.1-liter Hemi V8 and can accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in less than 5 seconds. The smaller 4.7-liter overhead-cam V8 works quite well and it can run on gasoline or up to 85 percent ethanol.The Grand Cherokee also offers a Mercedes-Benz 3.0-liter common-rail turbo-diesel (CRD) V6 allowing it to tow up to 7400 pounds (with proper equipment) and range 425 miles between fill-ups. The diesel engine makes it frugal for an SUV of its size.Grand Cherokee was last redesigned for the 2005 model year. The current Grand Cherokee offers better handling than that of pre-2005 models leaning less in corners. It rides better on all surfaces and its turning radius is tighter.Four-wheel-drive models have hill-start assist and hill-descent control. Hill-start assist holds the brakes on a hill to allow smooth launches. Hill-descent control uses the ABS to control the rate of speed when driving down steep hills.A trailer sway control system is available that applies braking pressure to individual wheels to help stabilize trailers during towing.Also new for 2010 is tire-pressure monitoring and fuel saver notification displays in the instrument panel an available 9-inch rear DVD entertainment screen in place of an 8-inch screen and an available iPod interface.Model LineupThe 2010 Jeep Grand Cherokee is offered in four trim levels.The Grand Cherokee Laredo ($30150) comes with a 210-hp 3.7-liter V6 and a five-speed automatic transmission.

The shape of the body is designed to protect the sides of the vehicle from potential road debris.While conventional SUVs such as the Dodge Durango are built on a separate frame like a truck the Grand Cherokee uses an unusual construction scheme Jeep calls Uniframe a close marriage of a welded steel unit-body and underlying front and rear frame modules. This is an extremely sturdy and rigid concept developed back in Jeep's days with unit-body pioneer American Motors. The Grand Cherokee has earned a five-star safety rating in both front and side impact tests from the federal government.Limited models pVisit Southern Roads Auto online at southernroadsauto.com to see more pictures of this veABS Brakes,Adjustable Foot Pedals,Air Conditioning,Alloy Wheels,AM/FM Radio,Automatic Headlights,Cargo Area Cover,Cargo Area Tiedowns,Cargo Net,CD Player,Child Safety Door Locks,Cruise Control,Deep Tinted Glass,Driver Airbag,Driver Multi-Adjustable Power Seat,DVD Player,Electrochromic Exterior Rearview Mirror,Electrochromic Interior Rearview Mirror,Electronic Brake Assistance,Electronic Parking Aid,Fog Lights,Front Air Dam,Front Heated Seat,Front Power Memory Seat,Front Side Airbag,Full Size Spare Tire,Heated Exterior Mirror,Interval Wipers,Keyless Entry,Leather Seat,Leather Steering Wheel,Load Bearing Exterior Rack,Manual Sunroof,Navigation Aid,Passenger Airbag,Passenger Multi-Adjustable Power Seat,Power Adjustable Exterior Mirror,Power Door Locks,Power Sunroof,Power Windows,Rain Sensing Wipers,Rear Window Defogger,Rear Wiper,Remote Ignition,Second Row Folding Seat,Second Row Heated Seat,Separate Driver/Front Passenger Climate Controls,Side Head Curtain Airbag,Steering Wheel Mounted Controls,Tachometer,Telescopic Steering Column,Tilt Steering,Tilt Steering Column,Tire Pressure Monitor,Traction Control,Trip Computer,Vehicle Anti-Theft,Vehicle Stability Control System,ABS Brakes,Alloy Wheels,AM/FM Radio,Cargo Area Cover,Cargo Area Tiedowns,CD Player,Child Safety Door Locks,Deep Tinted Glass,Fog Lights,Front Air Dam,Front Power Memory Seat,Front Side Airbag,Full Size Spare Tire,Leather Seat,Power Door Locks,Rain Sensing Wipers,Rear Wiper,Second Row Folding Seat,Side Head Curtain Airbag,Vehicle Anti-Theft
