  • You can speed the hill decent up...

  • Well, I did not see any real off-roading at all :/

  • pathfinder does it better

  • @brucenash, No.031, No way, it does not better. The Grand is far more comfortable on- and off-road. And the pathfinder does not look that smooth, meaning that the Grand has a better design. Thank you.

  • @BusinessPrivateNet lol Jeep`s are unreliable everyone knows it...also have poor MPG (worse than path) and are slower.

  • @brucenash; No, this is not true. Jeep's are not unreliable, they are Best Quality. Thank you.

  • @brucenash You shouldn't do Heroine, then post comments.

    Sounds like you want a Jeep, but you're too broke, so you have everyone who has one...maybe you own a civic.

  • @brucenash my 2001 jeep cherokee limited 4.0 l is better than pathfinder in off roading

  • is this better offroad than the previous model it replaces?

  • @cardude1992 yes

  • i dont have the air suspension but i still do great offroad

  • was this a class?

    

  • Fuck the new grand cherokees with the gay ass independent suspension. It needs solid axles

  • @CnRDirt then how do you explain them being better off road than 1992-2010? and better on-road.

  • @oIIIIIIIoJeep1444 improvements, except for the independant rear suspension, what the fuck was jeep even thinking when they did that. real jeeps have solid axles.

  • @CnRDirt I doan get it. Doesn't that make it less effective at things like rock crawling?

  • @Corranhorn122 the solid axles? NO. with solid axles you have up and down travel. with independent suspension it has up travel and very limited down travel so the tires don't have as much contact with the ground as they would with a solid axle. and i don't even get why you would take a grand cherokee rock crawling, get a wrangler for that.

  • great now soccer moms can go off road i liked jeep the old way thumbs up if you agree

  • @stingger42 nobody agrees. it looks nothing like a soccer mom's car.

  • @oIIIIIIIoJeep1444 well it looks nothing like an offroader

  • @ 6:04 it looks just like a WJ

  • Now the steep hill in the video wasn't tough, i can climb down with a 800cc car. Looking at the comments, few people seems to have tendency to not accept when a vehicle does a major makeover and comes to the market. Example, some means Jeep == WWII era.. needs to be harsh ride and boxy.. well wake up, its 20th century, economy is shaken, people want multitasking product. People dont blame jeep when they add new mechanical stuff for improvement, but complains when it also improves the comfort.

  • Comment removed

  • Seems thats the whole idea with Hill Decent control...To control your decent at a speed your comfortable with. You can speed up by upshifting and still not have to touch the brakes. For the people who buy this type of vehicle (I own a '11 limited), and don't intend to do serious off-roading (rock crawling), it is an excellent vehicle. I and the wife have had many Jeeps over the years, 1 CJ7, 3 wranglers, a liberty, commander and 4 Grand Cherokees . My wife has an 09 Laredo.

  • legendary off roader

  • this jeep grand cherokee is better tougher and stronger than ugly weak piece of shit toyota land cruiser

  • @maxthehulk you got that rgiht

  • @defendingdog thank you

  • @maxthehulk Then why does the UN only use Landcrusier for their off roaders?

  • @alexcheetah79 th UN use land rover and land cruiser not land cruiser only

  • my 2001 jeep cherokee limited lx 4.0 l i6 can eat this shit in off roading

  • wonder video of all ı have see now. good job and cam overview...

  • great idea... stand right under a vehicle at the bottom of a "very steep" hill

  • booooring!

  • Too bad Chrysler forgot to put in a battery light or voltage gauge - if your battery dies you'll never know - I guess the reviewer up top missed that little fact when he tested the car and all it's features. - see the full story at carquestions channel

  • @carquestions youll know cause the car just shuts off. there is a battery light too. couldnt tell you how many times when youre movin one around the lot and it just shuts off.

  • @pantsforants You mean the car will suddenly die on you without first telling you the battery is low and going lower? - that's amazing

  • hill decent would piss me off cause its going too slow

  • Controlled sliding decent...

  • esto lo paso con mi dodge dart en 4x2 y cauchos lisos

  • This is the place where TTC (Tuff Truck Challange) was!

    I rememberd the two water pits where the BadAss Suburban flopped.

  • Any idea how this vehicle does in mud?

  • @hushpuckena it's great in the mud:)

  • @tombluegrass90 Do you mean stock or with modifications?

  • @hushpuckena yes ma'am

  • they just scratched the paint

  • fucking street tyres...you need Mud Terrains!!!

  • @newman1991hamburg Funny you mention that as the guys in the video talked about the "flat bottom shoes". I agree with you, tires make all the difference in the world. Even a newb can do amazing things off road with the proper tires.

  • @newman1991hamburg and u need a brain

  • got a question, does the 4x4 uses more gas than the normal v8? even if it is off?

  • @coto232 Yes, but only 1 or 2 mpg under normal driving conditions

  • @coto232 4x4 systems are heavy and take gas in that way tooo

  • Can you turn hill decent on and off?

  • @HaloHamstur yup

    

  • I could go that hill down faster in my insignia.

  • They shouldn't put an engine called Pentastar ina vehicle which American Motors Corp have Chrysler all the off road and 4x4 capability for. The quadradrive system is renamed AMC and Willys technology, just like the Wrangler is completely AMC and Willys engineering except the worthless appearance changes made by Chrysler. The only mopar a Jeep is is AMC MotorParts. Don't bother leaving an ignorant comment. It's compete AMC off road technology.

  • This is stock?

  • This is weird dust!

  • This is weid dust!

  • I have 1 it rocks but a little pricy

  • Well

    Quadralift - 2011

    Range Rover Air Suspension (RRAS) - 1990 xD FAIL LMAO LOL

  • @EmmetLBrown88 1954 by Citroën ,1958 on buses by GM,so range rover fails as well.

  • @mahatmacoatmahandbag No Citroen Used Hydromatic suspension Not Air suspension and Gm Buses Used Hydromatic Suspension as well :P Range Rover is Still the best 4x4xfar

    P.S Hydromatic uses gas :P

  • @EmmetLBrown88 gas air.is there really a difference.the principal of height adjustment was citroen.no big deal we'll just agree to disagree

    cheers

  • @mahatmacoatmahandbag Fine >.<

  • I COULD HAVE FULL THROTTLE'D DOWN THAT HILL, ROLL MY YJ, RECOVER THE DAMN THING AND STILL BE ON MY WAY FASTER THAN THIS THING COULD CRAWL DOWN!!!!

  • Are you kidding me.. that looks easy as shit, My fucking mazda that i use for commercial use could do that. WITH 2 wheel drive.

  • @xxghostxxihmxx Then stick with ur mazda. These guys were taking it easy in the rigs that werent even theirs. If I had that same Jeep, i would have done it faster. And with these new jeeps, there really isnt any true 2wheel drive unless u buy a 2wheel drive one

  • San Fran? If you hadnt said i´d think this was spain.

  • @scotsmaninusa

    If you dont mind me asking, what do you mean my platform?

  • looks like the kind of hill that is easier getting up than down

  • booring

    

  • loos like a audi form behind i hate audi's im going to blow all of them up

  • put a nice set of AT"s or muds and it will be unstoppable

  • I HATE the new Jeep style! PUKE! Looks like a nissan Mini Van from behind.

    Junk.

    All these smooth rounded corners..blah!

    Corners are by their very nature CORNERS not rounds.

    I will not get over this design EVER.

    PUKE!

  • @PrinceofPeace9957 you mean corners are square not corners......and yes naturally corners are round or curved....would you like a squared corner on a road?

  • @Jordan2451 I was refering to the smooth rounded corners of the new Jeep vs. the older more defined corners not roads.

  • @PrinceofPeace9957 i'm saying that corners are not "corners" by nature, their rounded or curved

  • @PrinceofPeace9957 It actually should look like x5 from behind as most of people would consider jeep vs x5 (statistics). side, front and interion looks awesome.

  • @AutoNetWork

    Are you guys shy? shine the camera on your feet during the hill descent ... lol :D ... thanks for sharing this though .. I was looking for something like this on this model :) keep up the work

  • Damn those jeeps are really nice looking, Wooohweee I want one.

  • madman53 its a Jeep!!! It made for off roading!

  • nothing like scratching a brand new car damn these guys arent smart at all. im all for offroading but newer cherokee arent for offroad imho

  • @madman53 The day a Cherokee isn't made for off-roading, is the day that Jeep goes out of business. Yes, it looks and feels like a luxury vehicle, but ultimately, it's a Jeep.

  • @synth3tk i agree 110 percent

  • @synth3tk Actually it's a retired benz platform NOT a jeep platyform.

  • @Righty736 It was co-developed while the companies were under the same ownership, built for Jeep first, and then the platform was taken to be used for Mercedes. So while designed in a great part by Mercedes, it was initially made for Jeep. It's just a Jeep base for a Mercedes then, which probably helps the new G-Class be truly capable. Ironic that a German auto maker cooperated with an the American brand that helped defeat their nation in WWII. But time passes...

  • Not impressed

  • @thegreatcb7 buy a wrangler

  • looks steep to me....Im crapping my pants just looking at it.

  • I love Cherokees, I've owned 4 Xjs, and this is sad. They say it has articulation! Minimal!

  • @thegreatcb7 but youve got to agree, that is one damn sexy car! :D

  • wow what a loser...

  • Where is this exactly? I live in the North Bay about 10 mins from San Francisco. What is this place called and where is it?

  • at 3:12, Stay off the breaks, are you kidding !!!??

  • Jeep there is only one. A proud jeep owner.

  • Jeep!

  • nice design i really like it,good job from jeep ..!

  • god these guys drive like pussies.

  • @paintballer0816 yeah your rite!

  • @paintballer0816 fuck yeah dude i live in alaska this is bullshit they dont deserve to drive somthing that nice

  • Love to have a Jeep

  • nice design, i hope mine is comming end of next week. I think the discoveries are the better cars, but well... i do like the jeep.

  • Comment removed

  • love the new jeeps !!! better than my 2001!!

  • these are so nice!

  • its a blend between the X5 and the Touareg lol

    way to go Fiat

  • My dream car!!! 

  • Getting mine on Monday, one more day! I'll tell you guys some stuff I find, and will give a review. Im getting the laredo x, which is not the best in the grand cherokee, but is very impressing.

  • the only reason i havent bought this yet is because of the depreciation... if the mrsp was lower to start with, I would buy one and recommend to others

  • how much this cost

  • my stock 2001 xj can fly threw this much easier

  • @BSworldwide probably because you would drive that non luxury car not worrying about anything breaking

  • @BSworldwide its harder to do this at a slower pace since you have no momentum

  • you can do those trails in a 2wd with a locker.... not impressed

  • i think this is the best looking affordable car on the market....and most versatile

  • the back end almost looks like a audi

  • yes we do know what hill decent does

  • bored!

  • touareg...

  • After you descend the damn hill in 20 minutes go through them pools of mud

  • looks like a bmw suv from the back

  • Come on I wanna see one of those go balls to the wall!!

  • LOL look at how the grille shines at 1:54 I am a huge jeep fan but an SUV of that nature might not be my first choice for off roading. I fully respect this vehicle but I think I would rather go with a 6 speed wrangler of an older year that I would not be as concerned for.

  • Love it!!

  • cool i think i may trade my pick-up for 1 of these.

  • Nuff said - If you like a rugged vehicle or are a true off-roader this car would "really upset you" and why in Gods Name is there wood paneling in a jeep - looks and physical flaws aside im still disappointing in jeep for this product

  • the guy filming, is that morgan freeman?

  • My old 1979 CJ5 Jeep do the same thing, but in the mud. Please you can show me something better?

  • why do they use city tires for this demo?

  • Good guts, terrible look, low clearance. Why are all the SUV's all bitchmade looking now? Im a Ford fan, but ill say that this looks a hell of alot better than the new explorer.

  • @BTBAM2169 You can raise the suspension electronically and it is very good off road

  • First, you call the Jeep a 'car'. That's bad enough. Prior to that, however, you insult off-roaders, who are true Jeep enthusiasts, which again you insult. AutoNetwork journalists seem a bit arrogant and pompous. Yes, we see how well hill descent works. Now try 4-low in 1st and let us see how it works. It's kind of like how car enthusiasts don't like to have all the electronic gizmos controlling everything for them. If you like to drive, you want to be driving. If you like to wheel...

  • I like some things about the new WK2, but the lack of a front LSD as well as the horrible articulation make me wonder what Jeep was thinking.

  • no! This Jeep are bggest..

  • there should be a really slow breakdown behind this vid.

  • I'd rather have low range first gear then hill decent! I wouldn't call this off-roading!

  • amazing car, wish i can have one

  • they stole the hill decent control and air suspension ideas from the Range Rover

  • @g20s10silveradoman And their Selec-Terrain idea came from Land Rover's Terrain Response

  • @Cacas232 its a land rover knock off basically

  • @TakeNotesKrew yeah yeah of course... with a torqueless engine and fwd open diff yeah it's better than high torque engine front central and rear locked diff yeah lol....

    go back to school

  • @TakeNotesKrew i doubt it go ahead and rape land rover w/e but jeep is americas pride, a jeep from wwII can rape ur honda without modding it, go back to japan and suck on their emperors cock

  • GIVE HUMMER H1 BACK TO THE PEOPLE

  • reguardless, that jeep is a piece of crap, when it comes to real trail situations, it wouldn't have a chance....all this video shows me is that the jeep has a simple hill decent setting, oooooh aaaaaah, its a real offroading machine, nope...it has an independent wishbone suspension, which was originally designed for race cars..... my FJ would destroy that car, hands down, no question on anything......reliability wise, i've yet to hear anything bad about it...

  • @morgman77 I do agree that FJ's are way better than Jeeps. The reliability of a Toyota alone wipes out everything which a Jeep is made to do.

  • @morgman77 yeb its true off raiding is toyota & lexus cause they are tufe

  • So now that Jeep has merged with Fiat, anyone feel confident that reliability will improve? Does anyone remember the LeCar? That bucket of bolts really endeared itself into the hearts and minds of drivers, didn't it? It's like crossing a turd with a pile of dog vomit and hoping for a better outcome.

  • yeah my honda can do all that. and all still drive all day under one tank of gas ...jeeps cant do that

  • @ZigZagsAndLouieTags Lets us see that ;)

  • @TakeNotesKrew isnt that why jeep got the award for the best 4x4 of the decade and can go neck-to-neck with land rover!!!????

  • @TakeNotesKrew shut the fuck up, you can suck dick with your little ricer. Your honda couldnt climb over a curve if you or it tryed.

  • the jeep RULES

  • @TakeNotesKrew TAKENOTESKREW SUCKS. jeep will mow ur honda down just like a buzzer to ur long hair hippie

  • @TakeNotesKrew yea bullshit buddy 

  • i really do not see any real off roading

  • past model was better

  • @donzaliko fucken hatter

  • @roberto8991 no lamer past model was really better

  • lol this is just normal road here in Iceland

  • @rhelgason1 Not our fault if you live a poor place with no streets.

  • @BaahFuckOff lol can you sy off roading in this video, well dot me if you do then i think you nide to go more out

  • @rhelgason1 You must be a retard. "OFF" "ROAD" meaning NOT on a road... I didn't see a title saying: Extreme off-road mudding and crazy Cherokee 2011... only off-road.

  • @BaahFuckOff hehehehe dont cry ok :) men like you can only talk nothing more

    i think this is not good video to show off road with this jeep i have one jeep self and him can so muts more jeep is a fantastic off roading

  • Most. Boring. Off-Road. Video. Ever.

  • I would like to see this jeep going up the hill while its raining =)

  • is it me or are off road vehicles becoming weaker by the generation .

  • @quenshawn

    they are getting weaker and who wants to scratch that paint and body? lol kinda like a luxury suv not a off road beast! Still gotta stick with the 99-04 grand cherokee limited! those are machines!!

  • @HellfireR61 amen to that. my WJ can do just about anything

  • @Scibbyz8999GRC forsure!! I got 20" rims and BFGoodrich slicks on my wj limited and just went up a 50 degree gravel hill in reverse and my truck did great. Had to reverse since there was one exit on the hill and a ford truck was comming up it.. lol The WJ doesnt fail!!! luv it

  • zzzzzzzz...

    solid axles or GTFO!

    J/K, great car for someone that wants to follow a subaru!

  • @blzplz1 haha Subaru's are freaking awesome!!! But the new jeep is really nice!!
