Jeep Grand Cherokee 2012 A Brave New World

These lines, the author of this article writes on a trip back in mud with a Jeep Grand Cherokee 2012 and some competitors it. A trend has: utilities are going to the opposite – the comfort of a hand, the off-road capabilities of the other. Except in regard to the Jeep Grand Cherokee 2012 remains one of the few to combine these two strengths.


The Ford Explorer has lost its transfer case and the Honda Pilot has never had. And it shows in their off-road capabilities less. The Nissan Pathfinder and Toyota 4Runner are always on stand-alone chassis type scale, but the comfort and stability they offer suffer, especially on asphalt. But now the Jeep Grand Cherokee 2012, completely redesigned last year, combines insurance on the road and off the beaten large capacities. With the added bonus of a cabin luxury like them – especially the variant Overland $ 50,000.

And we find that the Jeep Grand Cherokee 2012 missing the boat in terms of technology and equipment … This year, an upgrade has corrected this, especially when everything in Overland boarded. And when I say “everything”, I think that large panoramic roof (which is however worrying hear cracking), the keyless start (finally!), the power tailgate (we expected no less), these seats Heated and ventilated front and second-row heated this. Even the steering wheel warms palms. Admittedly, the third row of seats is conspicuous by its absence, even if it is offered by the competition. In return, the Jeep Grand Cherokee 2012 offers legroom without compromise.

V6, the savior Jeep Grand Cherokee 2012


If we had previously noted the soundproofing was very average this utility, this time we noticed the silence on board, broken only by the hum of the 5.7-liter V8 when pushing it into a corner. With 360 horsepower and 390 lb-ft, the engine can tow up to 3266kg (7200 lb). It is obviously hungry, but we still encensons for its powerful acceleration – a V8, it’s still a V8. A variant SRT8 should shortly join the range in 2012 with its 6.4-liter Hemi V8 to 465 horsepower.


Previously, we criticized the Jeep Grand Cherokee 2012 a direction that lacked precision, what the Jeep meets today a new control and resistance are welcome. The whole is much less than before and surassisté fortunately, continues to be a short turning radius (11.3 meters), two practical obstacles. On gravel trails, four-wheel drive system keeps the vehicle on track.

The king of the jungle Jeep Grand Cherokee 2012


The off-road purists will cry foul perhaps, but the Jeep Grand Cherokee 2012 has abandoned the rigid axle (first) in favor of accepting the independent suspension on all versions richer, to adjust height . This is an extremely practical. Consequence of this change: no more walks where the cash pours in turn, exit shocks bouncing uncomfortably. Handling is passed into modernity, erasing the bad asphalt while remaining comfortable off-road situations.


This last point does not change fortunately: the capacity of the utility, when equipped with the Quadra Trac II, are enhanced by field selector (snow, mud, rock …) and now, as formerly, the Jeep Grand Cherokee 2012 can face the worst conditions without firing a shot. Less utilities can claim to do so. But precisely consumers really want so much?
