How do the Jeep Grand Cherokee's Active Safety Features work? Seeing as the Jeep Grand Cherokee has always been designed to take on more than just your standard city street or stretch of highway, safety has always been an especially important aspect of the SUV. It was engineered, and is built with safety in mind, so if something does happen to go awry, the Grand Cherokee can keep you and your passengers protected. What really sets the SUV apart, however, are not its passive, but its active safety features that can keep an accident from occurring in the first place. more Before we get into some details on how these features work, let’s first look at all of the revolutionary active safety features that you will find in the available safety packages of the Jeep Grand Cherokee. Jeep Grand Cherokee Active Safety Features Adaptive Cruise Control Blind-Spot Monitor Forward Collision Warning Front Automated Emergency Braking Front Parking Sensors Lane Departure Warning Lane Keeping Assist Parking Assist Rear Cross-Traffic Monitor Rear Parking Sensors All of the features listed above are controlled by sensors that are strategically placed around the vehicle. As they are in the front, back and sides, absolutely everything is covered. They can tell you when a vehicle is following too closely, or if you are going to hit something when backing up, and they can also warn you of vehicles in your blind spot, or when your vehicle starts to stray from its lane. Perhaps the best of the features, however, comes courtesy of front sensors that can sense when you are coming up too closely on another vehicle or object. After warning you, the vehicle can automatically brake for you.

Jeep Models with All-Wheel Drive If you are looking for an off-road capable vehicle, you are probably considering a Jeep. Jeep has made its name and centered its brand around providing car shoppers with reliable, high-performing vehicles that can handle a plethora of terrains and road conditions. Let's take a closer look at the drivetrain options on Jeep models! more Read More: How advanced is the 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee? All-Wheel Drive Jeep Models Every single Jeep model is equipped with all-wheel drive either coming standard or available as an option for drivers to upgrade to. That sure makes it easy when you are looking for an all-wheel drive model while checking out the Jeep lineup! There are even some Jeep models that only come with four-wheel drive models. The Jeep Wrangler, Jeep Grand Cherokee, and Jeep Wrangler Unlimited are all standard with four-wheel drive and are not available as front-wheel drive models. However, some Jeep models do offer front-wheel drive, which has some benefits for those looking to have higher fuel efficiency numbers and those less concerned about the off-road capabilities of their vehicle. The following models have front-wheel drive options: Jeep Renegade, Jeep Compass, Jeep Patriot, and Jeep Cherokee. All-Wheel Drive Benefits There are many reasons why having a vehicle equipped with all-wheel drive can be beneficial, but the main reasons people choose all-wheel drive are for better traction while accelerating and for improved handling, especially in less than ideal conditions. Here in Wisconsin, we deal with many months of snowy and icy conditions, as well as rain in spring and summer months. Four-wheel drive also works to your advantage in off-road conditions such as plowing over mud, rocks and hilly terrain. One of the few disadvantages of all-wheel drive is the reduced fuel economy ratings. This causes you to end up spending more money in gas than you would with a front-wheel-drive model, but we think the benefits outweigh the cost since it can be more reliable in inclement weather, which Wisconsin sees plenty of. If you are looking for a Jeep model, be sure to check out our inventory and even set up your test drive online before you come to the dealership!

Jeep has a knack for dependability and it always has. With its signature grill, Jeep models are among the most recognizable in the world. They are also some of the best-made vehicles and consumers have lauded over Jeeps for decades. That's all awesome, but what about the efficiency of these SUVs and off-road machines? Specifically, what about the 2017 Jeep Grand Cherokee's gas mileage?

That's just how they're built. However, the MPG ratings of some SUVs are still respectable and impressive, and that includes the 2017 Grand Cherokee. With an EPA-estimated 26 highway MPG, you'd be hard pressed to find a similar SUV with a better fuel economy. The Grand Cherokee isn't too bad in the city either, as it averages up to 19 MPG. Now, how do those ratings compare to competitors? Pretty well, actually. The 2017 Toyota Highlander's average highway MPG comes in at 24, and the 2017 Chevrolet Traverse only hits at 22 highway MPG. Both of those SUVs are formidable rivals of the Grand Cherokee, yet they don't quite stack up in terms of gas mileage. Want to learn more? Stop in or call us today!
