Jeep Active Safety Group

The Jeep Grand Cherokee comes with a range of standard and available safety technologies. These features work with exterior-mounted sensors that measure speed and proximity to provide warnings and assistance when a collision seems imminent.

These features not only provide ample warnings when a crash seems likely, but they also use selective braking to help mitigate the collision and reduce the severity or help you avoid it all together.

Both Blind Spot Monitoring and Rear Cross-Path Detection come standard and help you stay aware of approaching cars when driving or backing up out of a parking spot. Other available features include:

• Forward Collision Warning with Active Braking

Space Inside the 2020 Grand Cherokee

The Jeep Grand Cherokee gives you 105.4 cubic feet of passenger volume inside its cabin. This means, even when all five seats are being used, there’s plenty of personal room for each passenger to comfortably enjoy the ride. This includes nearly 40 inches of headroom and over 40 inches of legroom you’ll have as the driver.

Behind both rows there’s also an additional 36.3 cubic feet of space for cargo. This gives you room to pack up for trips or just the day’s activities. When helping a friend move, going shopping, or just trying to take bigger gear along with you, fold down the rear seats and use 68.3 cubic feet of interior volume to pack up more cargo. 

A Connected Drive

When you first step in your Jeep Grand Cherokee, you can plug in your smartphone and watch your apps appear on the 7-inch touchscreen display. By connecting your phone either through Android Auto™ or Apple CarPlay®, you can safely use a range of its functions while driving.

This will let you call your friends and can even read your text messages to you. You also can access all the audio on your phone. That way, you can listen to any custom playlist you’ve made or pick up where you left off in the podcast you were listening to before leaving your house.

Whatever you choose to listen to, it will come through sounding great while being broadcast through the 19 high-performance speakers of the available Harmon Kardon® Premium Audio System.

With Android Auto™ or Apple CarPlay®, you can also use your navigation app to display your route and easily get directions to your destination.  

Take on the Roads Less Traveled

While the Jeep Grand Cherokee is an excellent SUV for your everyday driving around town thanks to its modern amenities, space, and performance, it’s also designed to take on unpaved roads when heading out on your next camping trip.

With various available 4x4 systems, like the Quadra-Drive® II system with electronic limited-slip rear differential, you’ll not only have great traction when roads become slippery but also when you encounter any uneven terrain as well.

The Trailhawk trim level comes equipped with even more specific systems and features that make it an SUV for all types of adventurers. With high-strength steel skid plates, the underbody of the Trailhawk stays protected when off-roading. Its All-Season All-Terrain tires are Kevlar reinforced, so they’re both durable and provide surefooted driving wherever you go.

You can even tune the 2020 Grand Cherokee to your current or changing driving conditions to optimize its performance. Whether you’re driving through snow or mud, just change to the appropriate mode of the available Selec-Terrain® System and the Jeep Grand Cherokee will adjust to give you the specific performance you need at that moment.
