When most folks think of Jeep, they think of the rugged off-road vehicles that won wars and opened up new trails for Americans. This is, in fact, correct, as Jeep has built its reputation around such models as the Wrangler and Gladiator—off-road warriors that can take you on new adventures. But how many drivers here in Rhinebeck know that Jeep has also staked out a place among some of the most family-friendly and commuter SUVs available today? That’s right, if you are looking for some incredible comfort features on a rugged SUV, the 2024 Jeep Grand Cherokee may be the model for you.
Jeep introduced the Grand Cherokee thirty years ago as a more luxury-oriented model. The goal was to combine the ruggedness and dependability of vehicles like the Wrangler with a more luxury-oriented design and styling to make it perfect for suburban family drivers and commuters. Since that time, the Jeep Grand Cherokee has undergone five generations of development, leading to the 2024 model, the peak of comfort features ever offered on a Jeep. So, if you are looking for a Jeep Grand Cherokee for sale, you’ve made the right call.
A Luxurious, Roomy Interior
One thing that really helps the Grand Cherokee is its spacious interior. The 2024 model offers an incredible 145.0 cu.ft. of passenger space, making it one of the roomiest two-row midsize SUVs on the market today. This translates into a cabin that'll allow you and up to four passengers to really stretch out, especially on long drives along the Hudson River Valley.
The interior of the Grand Cherokee is a testament to exceptional design. The first row features an incredible 41.3 inches of legroom and 59.2 inches of shoulder room, while the rear provides a very impressive 38.2 inches of legroom and 58.0 inches of shoulder room. This makes the Grand Cherokee ideal even if you have older kids in your family.
The seats are incredibly comfortable, too; the Laredo A, Laredo, and Laredo X trims boast attractive cloth, while the Altitude and Altitude X are covered with a simulated suede. The Limited has an attractive Capri leatherette upholstery—but if you love true leather, you might consider the Overland, Summit, and Summit Reserve. The Overland has Nappa leather, while the Summit and Summit Reserve have Palermo leather. Each option is supple and durable. These trims also feature a dual-pane panoramic sunroof, which will let you bring the outdoors into your Grand Cherokee even when the temperature outside is dropping.
The Altitude, Altitude X, Limited, Overland, Summit, and Summit Reserve trims add heated front seats that come in handy on cold winter mornings here in Rhinebeck. The seats on the Overland, Summit, and Summit Reserve are ventilated as well, so you and whoever is riding shotgun can cool off during the summer.
The driver’s seat on all trims of the 2024 Grand Cherokee is power adjustable. Depending on the one you choose, you will get anywhere from eight to sixteen different ways to adjust your driver’s seat, so you will have no problem finding a setting that works best for you. In addition, all of them also have a power lumbar feature to improve comfort and reduce fatigue while driving.
One other area that Jeep does not skimp on with respect to comfort is your steering wheel. Every Grand Cherokee has a wrapped steering wheel, giving you a better grip, and all wrappings are leatherette except for the Summit and Summit Reserve, which feature a genuine wood steering wheel wrapped in real leather.
An Infotainment System to Keep Uconnect-ed
Like most vehicles, the 2024 Grand Cherokee comes with an advanced infotainment system to help you and your passenger stay entertained and connected. The Uconnect 5 is the latest version of Jeep’s connectivity system; this comes with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. By offering wireless connectivity, Jeep allows you to connect your smartphone for hands-free calls and texts, access your favorite apps, and stream some awesome music even if you left your cables at home.
Most models of the Grand Cherokee feature an 8.4-inch touchscreen, but the Limited, Overland, Summit, and Summit Reserve provide an even larger 10.1-inch screen that makes accessing your apps easier than ever. In addition, the Altitude, Limited, Overland, Summit, and Summit Reserve trims include a built-in turn-by-turn navigation system via Uconnect 5; this will make finding your destination more convenient than ever.
Jeep doesn’t skimp when it comes to sound; they understand that a part of the appeal of their models is an interior tailored to long journeys, and what better way to have an adventure than with an excellent sound system? Most 2024 Jeep Grand Cherokee models have a six-speaker audio system that will fill your vehicle with whatever music, sports, news, or other programming you and your passengers choose.
If you are a true audiophile, then you might want to opt for the Overland, Summit, or Summit Reserve. The Overland and Summit both come equipped with an Alpine nine-speaker premium audio system that has been designed specifically for the Grand Cherokee and will give you incredible audio enjoyment. However, the peak is the Summit Reserve, which comes with a 19-speaker McIntosh premium audio system.
For those who don’t know, McIntosh is one of the leading audio companies in the world and only started working with Jeep a few years ago; this makes Jeep one of the first automakers to feature a McIntosh sound system. This sound system has a 17-channel amplifier that delivers 950 watts of power to its 19 speakers, as well as a ten-inch subwoofer that will capture the low end of your favorite songs.
Breezy Cruising With Quadra-Lift
You wouldn’t think of a suspension system as being a comfort feature. It’s not something you find inside the passenger cabin, and it is also not something that you may associate with luxury, but a vehicle’s suspension system will govern how it rides. This translates into giving your passengers a smooth feeling no matter the condition of the road you are traveling on.
The 2024 Jeep Grand Cherokee Overland, Summit, and Summit Reserve trims each feature the Quadra-Lift suspension system. This is a type of air suspension system designed to smooth out all of the bumps you may encounter in your Grand Cherokee, whether on or off the road. The way this works is that the system will automatically adjust the shock tuning depending on the changing road conditions; this provides better comfort and stability, so you and your passengers aren’t jolted by any obstacles.
Furthermore, it can automatically add ground clearance of up to 10.9 inches; this allows for the Grand Cherokee to ford up to 24 inches of water. You can even operate the system manually, giving yourself five different height settings. Choosing any of these three trim levels provides you with an unparalleled riding experience in a Grand Cherokee, which will come in handy when riding through the snowy areas here in the Hudson River Valley.
