Packing In the Safety Systems

A standard system of safety can be found in every trim of the Grand Cherokee. The ProTech I package includes driver-assist features that make a long trip or a spin around the block safe. They include:

• Blind Spot Monitoring with Rear Cross Path Detection
• ParkSense® Rear Park Assist
• ParkView® Rear Back-Up Camera

If you decide to buy the Laredo trim, the ProTech II package adds more to your protection arsenal. Here’s what tools you’ll find to increase your safety:

• Forward Collision Warning with Active Braking
• Advanced Brake Assist
• LaneSense® Lane Departure Warning
• Automatic High-Beam Headlamps

Some trims receive extra systems in this package—like Adaptive Cruise Control with Stop and Go, and Parallel and Perpendicular Park-Assist with Stop. No matter where you plan to go with your Jeep, there’s a safety package to back you up.

Considerable Performance

Consider how you plan to use your Jeep and set your sights on the engine that dovetails with what you want to do. In many trims, the standard 3.6L Pentastar® V6 engine appears under the hood, producing 295 horsepower with 260 lb-ft of torque. This set up can tow up to 6,200 pounds when properly equipped, and achieves an 2021 EPA-estimated 19 city/26 highway MPG.

Let’s check out the power and stamina the engines supply.

Engines	Horsepower
3.6L Pentastar® V6	295
5.7L HEMI® V8	360
6.4L SRT® V8	475
Supercharged 6.2L V8	707

If you want the maximum engine power, go for the optional Supercharged 6.2L V8 engine. This titan of power produces 707 horsepower with 645 lb-ft of torque. Better yet, it pulls along a maximum of 7,200 pounds when properly equipped, earning best-in-class honors. With 8-speed automatic transmission and the available Selec-Terrain® Traction Management System, you’re on your way, no matter the conditions.
