After surviving bankruptcy, the fourth-generation Jeep Grand Cherokee will arrive in dealerships next month. This will be the first vehicle to emerge for post-bankruptcy Chrysler. With so much competition in the mid-size SUV segment, Jeep has decided to retrain true to its heritage by not converting to a crossover or adding third-row seats. In 1999, Jeep sold 300,031 Grand Cherokees, as opposed to an all-time low of 50,328 in 2009.
Surprisingly, the Grand Cherokee at one time was the segment leader in its class. According to Jeep officials, this is the most sophisticated Jeep to date. Chrysler has also promised that the both the ride and quality of this vehicle has been immensely improved from the previous generation. Here are some of the highlights of the 2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee:
