Posted on April 5, 2018
So, you're in the market for a 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee. Here are
some important things to know as you choose the best model for your driving
needs.
Available Trim Options
Choosing among the available 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee trim options
can be overwhelming as there are 11 of them available. These include the
Summit, High Altitude, Overland, Trailhawk, Sterling Edition, Limited,
Altitude, Laredo, Laredo E, SRT, and Trackhawk. Additionally, there are eight
different colour trims for you to choose from.
Performance Options
Choosing based on trim level is not as important as choosing a
Grand Cherokee that meets your performance needs. The standard engine across
all models is a 6.4-liter Hemi SRT V-8 engine that produces 475 horsepower and
470 pound-feet of torque. This includes an eight-speed transmission with seven
different drive modes. This base level performance is sufficient for most
driving needs, but if you should need something more, you can upgrade to the
more powerful engine.
The second option includes a supercharged 6.2-liter HEMI V-8
engine with 707 horsepower and 645 pound-feet of torque. This powerful engine
is so impressive that it results in the fastest acceleration and quarter-milespeed of any SUV. Greater
performance power means a greater need for efficient braking. The Grand
Cherokee is equipped with advanced high-performance 15-inch front rotors for
better stopping ability.
Interior Design
You will find the interior to be similar in each 2018 Grand
Cherokee trim option. The interior is designed for optimal driver comfort with
premium soft-touch leather seating, a uniquely personalized instrument cluster,
and added storage ability. The seats easily fold down to increase cargo space
for a maximum of 68.3 cubic feet. Maintain a consistent cabin temperature
with the heated steering wheel, ventilated seats, and heated front and back seats.
Optional Packages
When choosing your Grand Cherokee trim, you will also want to
evaluate your need for any additional packages. The Special Tow package pairs
well with the Trackhawk and improves towing efficiency, offering a smoother
drive with the ability to tow up to 7,200 pounds. This package is ideal for
Jeep owners who have RVs, boats, or other recreational toys.
Safety Options
There are more than 70 available safety and security features in
the 2018 Grand Jeep Cherokee line. Just a few of the available features include
blind spot monitoring, parking assistance with automated parking ability,
backup camera and trailer views, and the electronic roll mitigation feature.
All of the trim models also provide access to Uconnect and to SiriusXM Guardian
for advanced roadside assistance or towing.
Rest easy knowing that any 2018 Grand Cherokee model you choose is
specifically designed for optimal safety. Each model includes seven air bags,
front and rear crumple zones, and a durable and strong exterior to protect you
and your passengers in the event of a collision.
