Grand Cherokee: Features & Specs

Exterior Tour

At first sight you know it's a Grand Cherokee, but it looks like it's been to the gym. The sculpted muscular appearance of the 2012 Jeep® Grand Cherokee is a masterful meld of classic styling cues and modern design.

Look beyond the signature seven slot grille, round headlamps and trapezoidal wheel arches and you'll see thoughtful details that set Grand Cherokee apart.

Longer front and rear door openings for those of us who aren't acrobats and felt lined wheel wells to keep it quiet on rock spitting gravel roads. Just a few of the significant features designed to make every moment Grand.

Some key exterior highlights:

  • Modern sculpted body with an athletic, muscular profile

  • Legendary seven slot grille

  • Pronounced wheel arches

  • Available chromed mirrors and door handles

  • Bake hardened galvanized steel door outer panels provide greater dent resistance than normal steel door panels

Distinguished Design

Detailed finery can be seen in the bright chrome molding around the side windows. This elegant feature is standard on all models.

Acoustically Sound

All V8 equipped vehicles feature dual 3.5 inch chrome tips for the all-new dual exhaust system. Look underneath and you'll find the under floor muffler and dual resonators are tuned for quiet operation in V8 and 4 cylinder modes, but come alive with a full throated, bold sound when the pedal hits the metal. Mellow.

Crafted with Care

This evolutionary masterpiece was imagined, drawn, carved, stamped, hewn and forged here in America. By hands that took pride in making a product. The All New Jeep® Grand Cherokee is a well made machine that is designed to work. Beautifully.

Quality is Quiet

To quell the whoosh of wind at highway speeds thousands of hours were spent in our wind tunnel testing and retesting refinements to improve aerodynamics and dramatically reduce the dreaded conversation robbing NVH (noise, vibration, and harshness). The remarkable 8.5 percent improvement in drag compared with the previous model also helped improve fuel efficiency.

Let the sun shine in.
