How is the 2024 Jeep Grand Cherokee Powered?
In 2024, the Jeep Grand Cherokee continues to be powered by the Pentastar 3.6L V6 engine, which it has relied on since 2011 to provide drivers with impressive performance, capability, and fuel efficiency. Mated to a TorqueFlite eight-speed automatic transmission, the Grand Cherokee delivers an impressive 293 horsepower and 260 lb-ft of torque. While rear-wheel drive is standard equipment, Jeep's legendary capability comes in the form of three impressive 4x4 systems. The Pentastar engine delivers impressive fuel efficiency with its Electronic Stop/Start (ESS) function. This feature automatically cuts off fuel flow, powering down the engine when the vehicle comes to a stop, eliminating fuel consumption while idling at a red light or while parked. When the brake pedal is released, the engine will seamlessly kick back on, allowing you to continue driving. With ESS turned on, you'll still enjoy your music and climate controls while the engine is shut off by running in accessory mode and powering these features with the battery.
What 4x4 Systems Does the Jeep Grand Cherokee Use?
As we mentioned above, the Grand Cherokee comes standard with rear-wheel drive. However, for better traction, three 4x4 systems are available for the 2024 Jeep Grand Cherokee. Quadra-Trac I features a full-time automatic single-speed transfer case. Using a torque split of 52% to the rear wheels and 48%, the Quadra-Trac I system offers impressive traction. This traction is taken even further by the brake lock differential included with the system, allowing torque distribution to be altered side-to-side to limit wheel spin to tires that are slipping and increase power to the ones that have grip. Next is Quadra-Trac II. While the first Quadra-Trac system features a single-speed transfer case, Quadra-Trac II swaps in a two-speed transfer case. Instead of running in 4-High at all times like Quadra-Trac I, this system adds a 4-Low mode to provide better traction at lower speeds by lowering the transfer case gear ratio. This transfer case is also able to redistribute up to 100% of available engine torque to the axle with the most traction. Finally, Quadra-Drive II uses a two-speed transfer case as well. However, this system takes it one step further by using an electronic limited-slip rear differential to send up to 100% of available torque to a single rear wheel when it has the most traction. Grand Cherokee models equipped with 4x4 come with Jeep's class-leading traction management system, Selec-Terrain, which features Auto, Snow, Sand/Mud, and Sport Mode. Meanwhile, two-speed transfer case variants add Rock mode. This system makes alterations to various drivetrain systems to enhance traction on the selected terrain.
Advanced Technologies of the 2024 Grand Cherokee
The Jeep Grand Cherokee offers one of the most technologically advanced cabins in its class. The Uconnect 5 infotainment system takes center stage of all the Grand Cherokee's advanced features. Uconnect 5, displayed on a standard 8.4-inch or 10.1-inch touchscreen at higher trim levels, offers some of the latest technologies found in the automotive industry. Amazon Alexa, for instance, allows you to continue a list, play music and audiobooks, check the weather, and more. Meanwhile, the Uconnect system can be synched with your in-home Alexa device, allowing you to control smart home features like lights and thermostat settings, as well as remotely start your Grand Cherokee with your voice. Additionally, Uconnect 5 offers wireless smartphone integration with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Using this feature, you can seamlessly integrate your smartphone with the touchscreen without needing to fumble with a USB cable. The Uconnect 5 system also features a fully customizable home screen, five distinct user profiles plus Valet mode, available built-in navigation powered by TomTom, dual Bluetooth connection capability, and much more. Plus, the Grand Cherokee comes with a fully digital instrument cluster behind the steering wheel. Spanning 10.25 inches, this shows a fully customizable view of pertinent vehicle and driving information. Finally, optional for lower trims, while standard on the Grand Cherokee Summit is a 10.25-inch front passenger touchscreen. Integrated with the dashboard in front of the front seat, this touchscreen offers co-piloting controls such as vehicle camera access, navigation access, and entertainment. It also features an HDMI port to provide screen mirroring from a laptop.
