2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee - Kelley Blue Book - NY Auto Sho...

[maxthehulk]

jeep grand cherokee is better faster and stronger than toyota land cruiser and can beat it in anychallenge (off roading-drag racing-etc)

[JackKangaroo1]

I'm sure it's a great vehicle but I'm not impressed with the "stretched and blurred" lines on the exterior. I like a Jeep to be recognizable as a Jeep. This edition of the Grand Cherokee looks like every other mid-sized SUV on the road. [And, yes, for you purists out there I know that only the Wrangler has the "real" Jeep look.] In short, I love what they've done to enhance performance and comfort but I wish they'd go back to the square look again. I'm sure they will next time.

YouTube find: Jeep Promo San Diego Indie Pop 4 man band uses 4 Jeeps.See their "quasi" commercial for Jeeps on YouTube. Watch at Pullman Standard Jeep commercial.

[ssm80taurus]

A young sportsman became an old office worker. drive it yourself.

[Mrjeepcherokee1]

I wonder if the resale value will drop as fast as the older GCs do. If so I will be able to buy an Overland edition in about 3 or 4 yrs. it will be worth the wait...

[undeadkillers]

I test drove the V6 and V8.

I tell you, the V6 was so smooth and silky, and it was paired up with a very fine transmission.

But, the V8 stole my heart-ok, sure it weighs alot and it's not really meant to smoke powerful vehicles.But, the acceleration and the sound of the was more satisfying.

[NitroGadvRules]

@undeadkillers gotta love V8's, that sound beats any other configuration including v10's and v12's.

[CRAZYXBLACKXMAN]

@NitroGadvRules if u love v8's then i guess you like going to the gas station a lot to watch money fly out ur wallet too

[volunteernation16]

what a sweet car

[remanguchi]

Una pobre copia de la bmw x5

[PapichuloJedi]

@remanguchi Si no te gusta, para que visitas el video ???

[remanguchi]

@PapichuloJedi y como voy a saber si me gusta o no sin ver el video ????????

[bettenhausenauto]

This video is really nice. It gives a good description of such a wonderful car! The Jeep Cherokee is the ultimate off-road companion.

[Rsimon859]

it looks good on the internet, but in person this thing is soooo ugly.

[MasteringLOA]

perfect!

[whatever0481]

America doesnt seem to be learing from mistakes...Where is diesel version of this??? Gas is no longer everyday fuel!!! Besides the the style looks so ugly it resembles X5! 1997 design was the ultimate one. i wish they would listen to customers,idiots.

[mellowdalyricist]

jeep will never go away because while other companies are focusing on making city cars, jeep is making cars capable of going through extremely rough terrain without falling apart.. you can have your FWD hybrid but ill have the last laugh when I'm flying by in 18 inches of snow & your stuck in your garage.. long live jeep

[sbuckley2]

@mellowdalyricist fuck yeah, man....you can have your prius, I'll take my jeep cherokee any day over that oversized turtle

[TranCendenZ]

@sbuckley2 What year is your Cherokee? You should watch these YouTube videos:

Watch, "Chrysler Jeep Fire Deaths - Part 1," at this link:

/watch?v=TH_0izSyPk0

The Jeep Grand Cherokee is manufactured by intoxicated workers. Watch, "Chrysler UAW workers drinking, smoking weed on the job," at this link:

/watch?v=SWi6IlmSO_o

[TranCendenZ]

@mellowdalyricist The Jeep Grand Cherokee has a history of reliability and safety issues. Watch these YouTube videos:

"My 2008 Jeep Grand Cherokee after electrical fire," at this link:

"The New Ford Pinto by Chrysler? Jeep Grand Cherokee Fuel Tank Fires," at this link:

[mellowdalyricist]

@TranCendenZ what is the purpose of your comment ?

[TranCendenZ]

@mellowdalyricist You previously said that Jeeps can go through extremely rough terrain without falling apart, but I posted videos that prove that the Jeep Grand Cherokee is unreliable and unsafe. Take a look at this video titled, "Jeep Grand Cherokee 2005 Hemi Recall Door Panel Issue," at this link:

/watch?v=QsFrZ7CIBkY

The door handles break off, and Chrysler will only cover 50% of the $2,000 repair.

Consumer Reports states that it has poor reliability, high depreciation, and high owner costs.

[mellowdalyricist]

@TranCendenZ your comment doesn't prove anything kid. i used to have a 06 grand cherokee lift kit + big tires that i used to crawl mountains in, i could tow 2 , 3 cars at a time, tow cars stuck in snow, shovel snow & drive 90 mph in 9 inches of snow.

if thats not reliability then i dont know what is!

you really think a f**king door panel is going to keep me from loving jeeps? every car has flaws, my friend has a 2000 c class amg that always has the god damned check engine light on! jeep #1

[TranCendenZ]

@mellowdalyricist Did you even watch any of the videos that I posted links to? Look at this video titled, "My 2008 Jeep Grand Cherokee after electrical fire," at this link:

/watch?v=5wet5pbIbhU

If he parked his Jeep in the garage, it could have caught his house on fire and killed his family.

If I spend over $30K for a vehicle, then it's a reasonable expectation that the door handles work so that I can quickly exit the vehicle when it bursts into flames because of the faulty wiring.

[mellowdalyricist]

yea i saw the videos, i just dont understand why youre showing them to me, because youre not proving anything, at all. fast lane daily once reported on a man who bought a lamborghini murcielago that was a lemon. ford windstars rear differentals often break at high speeds on the highway. i just bought a 07 civic si & the 3rd gear synchromesh isnt working properly, not a big deal, dealership wil fix that, want more examples? all cars have flaws so stfu GC are great vehicles.

[orz9nee]

new BMW？

[Fussinated]

4.7 V8 was the optimum engine for the Jeep. Instead of improving that engine they focused on a V6. I think that was a mistake.

[Blitz4000]

Few of the American vehicles that is worthy of respect. A truly great off-roader and strong body on frame design. I hope they make a bigger variation in the future.

[MyMotherIsAwesome]

@Blitz4000 Ur a douche bag there are A LOT of American cars that are honestly built better then foreign ones now. I mean just look at Honda delaying the new civic 2 years because of a MAJOR design flaw. Or Toyota with their accelerator problems and the engines just stalling out while your driving. They are now how American cars used to be.

[Blitz4000]

@MyMotherIsAwesome

How do you classify - better?

I'm just saying, now that the Hummer "H1" is gone, the Grand Cherokee is the "only" American vehicle that is worthy to be respected "globally". The rest of the American cars are just crappy and stupid.

[GeneralHoohah]

@Blitz4000 Not entirely true, there are some good cars made in the US. A few that come to mind are the Ford Fiesta and '11 Mustang, Corvette, Cadillac CTS-V, Chrysler 300 SRT8, Ford GT... and a few others come to mind. The Ford Focus seems to be doing well. Don't know much about that car but I've heard some good things through word of mouth. It all depends on your personal taste, needs, and how much you can spend.

[HaleFire7]

I want an SRT8 version!

[YOURMOMSMOMSDADSMOM]

@HaleFire7

Most likely in 2012, according to Car and Driver

[cubanboy740]

Sounds like an intresting car

[seauryakumar]

nice jeep

when does it release in UK

[joshenderzone]

Ill keep my Full axles No thanks on IFS/IRS

[hulbert87]

looks like a bmw x5

[Ceh000]

@hulbert87 Yea I can see that in the tail lights.

[IROCwarriorAMC88]

I've got a 2000 JGC WJ. Frankly I wouldn't want to get rid of it for a 2005 or newer Jeep. Why? Because the newer Jeep's did a trade off for worse reliability by putting in a weak 3.7 liter van motor in place of the famous 4.0 straight 6. That's why I have, the best setup, 4.0 straight 6. I do like the other stuff about the Jeep's but the Jeep is starting to look off base. Too luxurious looking. They need to stop trying to appeal to yuppies & keep their true fan base happy.

[mellowdalyricist]

@IROCwarriorAMC88 i have a 06 wk and i love it.. i could take it on a rough trail, clean it up and take it for a night on the town.. i like that this new jeep already comes with a (adjustable) 4.5in lift, so that i wont have to go out and spend 1500 on a kit =]

[abram7117]

I think I'll keep my 2001 JGC. this is way to fancy and turning into a MB type luxo vehicle

[jjaynel]

New Jeep = Jiz Factory

[2gr6rydar]

this is great. it need headlight that resemble the wj and it would be 100% perfect

[GRMORAM1]

What, no 2011 diesel version !? ...how disapointing ! :'-(

[sideslide23]

they really need to get the Diessel verson because Volkswagon and Mercedies Benz has a Diessel SUV

[rohawkcc]

im a college student, working hard, poor as hell. im half way through college n through my efforts i bought a 2004 4x4 Laredo Cherokee. i love it so much. once im done with college n settled in my profession. im going for another jeep.

[N1CKF3D]

Jeep is getting closer and closer to being identical to Land Rover.

[billabongopblue]

I prefer the best looking Grand Cherokee 1999-2004 WJ

Those are the XJ Cherokee 1997-2001 need to be revived!

[alebestia]

i think WJ's model was,is and will be the best grand cherokee ever built

[dogcrick]

they're good but...... gotta say the pre 96' zj was the best mechanically, with three bad ass engine options! It was the fastest suv of it's time, plus it can off road with any thing else out there!

[dakillachronic]

im really excited to see the SRT8

[motazacar]

is their a deasel for this?

[kbb]

It has been confirmed for international markets, but not for the U.S. It is possible that they will use the same CRD that is available in the 2009 model, but it remains unclear.

[Kelter2]

@motazacar no diesel, 5.7l hemi biggest you can get

[maureencora1]

I take it in now  in 2010.

[Wiishit23456withvids]

awesome SUV

im looking to have one to forget about my current Montero Sport from 1999, i will not sell it, but i will store it in an abandoned warehouse 2 streets from my home

[2gr6rydar]

did you used to ride the small bus to school?

[sideslide23]

@2gr6rydar Yes I did, it was a Laidlaw bus the little Ford E Serries schoolbus that I've ridden on i've ridden it from Pre Schooler to Junior High. what a great Free Taxi ride :P

[2gr6rydar]

wow thats really interesting LOL. great story man keep them coming XD

[smtnfi]

my 95 zj will run circles around this mercedes clone

[dirk0389]

I'll stick with my 99 grand cherokee... way to many stupid options here

[LukeXgamer]

Mercedes ML have always been shitty built.

[jangkimtyler]

nice

[CPcheats09]

Believe it or not, this is a Mercedes ML thats re badged as a Jeep.

Its amazing how even though the 2 are divorced, Chrysler still wants models from Mercedes

[mellowdalyricist]

you act like you never called an ex-girlfriend! & i heard they just "co-developed"

[thegreenway1994]

I would really consider buying this Jeep... but I will wait until I find out what the reliability is for it. Jeeps have a reputation for poor reliability.

[bulgarianfreak55]

....no they dont. the 4.0 6 Cylinder goes on forever and the 4.7 V8 is just as good, mines at 120K NO problems. But I have had problems with the electronics inside (pedal adjust ,ac vents got stuck)

[saintEmory]

I have the 3.7L V6 engine and has been wonderful as well. So easy to work on!!!but the 4.0 is still the best.

[RabbidSquirel]

It looks like a tweaked BMW X5

[mondeost2202008]

WHOW! does this car cost less than a Range rover? And just look at that exterior. The previous model looked a bit fat but this is just something. Then theres the interior, I think there is still a plasticky feel but I dont care i mean, Landcruisers also have plastic so why bother as long as it is a nice place to sit in. Dont forget the "YOU CONNECT WEB" where you can turn the car into a WIFI hotspot. Jeep has something to innovate for the first time yay!

[joeyisballer]

this car is expected to cost somewhere between 30-35,000 for the base.

[occultdestroyer]

The back looks like a cheap Chinese FWD

[LeeDrastl]

I could listen to this girl talk about Jeep all day. So sexy.

[Ezalian]

The front design looks range rover-ish...

[jorgipogi]

The front headlights should be more masculine..

[2gr6rydar]

good comment i thought the same exact thing. it is an excellent overall shape and road stance. just needs to have the headlights a bit more large to come down the bumper more. but still it is pretty fresh

[Dani0524]

@2gr6rydar I totally agree about the headlights. Need to make it more like the Acadia where part of the headlight extends down towards the bumper more. The way they are now looks a bit whimpy. They look like the new Tribeca headlights which I also think look plain as well. Maybe the 2012 model they will upgrade it. I really like the look of the updated Jeep but I really hope they didn't overprice it and loose a lot of customers. I can't imagine the base model Laredo being over 30K.

[jorgipogi]

By 2011, toyota and honda would have better looking SUV's. They take too long to bring nice cars to the market. That design has been in Chrysler hands for a long time now. Just now, they decide to bring to reality.

[xxMafia101]

No. Toyotas and hondas are gay. They will never beat the off-road ability of Jeep.

[mzw1980]

very nice

[JEEP5599]

the back looks to much like a x5 but having said that it is a good car just doesn't keep it roots but will buy in the future hopefully with this ecom

[jvin248]

Check out the Rear Storage area! Look at all that space and nicely finished appearance!

[ATCRyderX]

Hell yeah! Doesnt get any better than Chrysler, even if it is in Jeep Form.

[LeeDrastl]

Jeep is one of Chrysler's strongest brands. And this is a beauty of a vehicle. I think it will definately help them recover.

[gunzkevin]

Doesn't really look like a jeep anymore, they have lost all roots. I liked the older models that looked very off roadish, this one doesnt. Wonder what the differences are in the 3 different types of 4 wheel drive.

[PoomTru]

To be the same car as the Mercedes-Benz ML-Class, it's rear-wheel drive!

[Karnage542]

Its nice but i would take the older models over this one hands down

[sreilly]

it looks like an acura. i have a 98 grand cherokee and i feel that was the best design hands down. what happened to the ruggedness jeep used to have? i don't like the styling at all.  the ZJ and WJ grand cherokees looked the best. now they look too soccer mom-ish

however the 4WD systems they offer are pretty cool. switching from sand/mud to rock crawling, that is pretty awesome.

[scm11904]

this looks like a good car. Im not sure if Chrysler/Jeep will be around in '11. Needs to come out sooner

[FLOCKAIRpilots]

looks nice for a jeep.

[SistemasNormales]

Wow! Amazing!!
