The all-new 2011 Grand Cherokee interior is a feast for the senses – the smell of real leather (available), the visual beauty of real wood (available) and soft touch surfaces are everywhere. When the time came to redesign the Jeep® Grand Cherokee, Chrysler LLC’s Design Team jumped at the chance to reinvent, refine and re-establish the sport-utility vehicle (SUV) design that originally set the course for all other SUVs. In order to achieve these goals, the interior design team focused on ensuring superior quality, delivering exceptional fit and finish, providing focused attention to detail and raising the bar on customer comfort. In other words, their goal was to overachieve!
The all-new interior of the 2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee is comparable to the finest European luxury sedans and features rich materials and elegant appointments, as well as more room for both passengers and cargo. The interior is available in four distinctive new colors: Black, Dark/Medium Graystone, Black/Light Frost Beige, Dark/Light Frost Beige.>
The 2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee features an all-new instrument cluster that is surrounded by chrome, and features new backlighting,
which makes it easier to read at night.
The instrument panel features soft-touch material with available contrast stitching that is carried throughout the interior, including the seats. Soft-touch material is integrated on other customer touch points as well, including doors, consoles and armrests. By using softer materials, the Jeep design team was also able to reduce interior noise levels.
A luxurious interior is a quiet interior, so Jeep engineers reduced Noise, Vibration and Harshness (NVH) – by improving body stiffness by 146%, utilizing premium insulation and standard front door laminated side glass and incorporating noise barriers into the headliner and door trims – to make the cabin as quiet as possible.
Designers upgraded the interior for all price classes, enhancing the comfort, convenience and safety of all vehicle occupants. The interior craftsmanship is highlighted by standard and available premium interior appointments that include real wood and leather, automatic temperature control, chrome accents, aircraft-inspired LED lighting, premium seating with heated and ventilated front seats, heated rear seats, four-way power lumbar controls, power tilt/telescoping steering column with memory, and two-tone upholstery. Tighter standards for fit and finish in the passenger area improve the overall look and feel of the vehicle.
Even in the cargo compartment, our commitment to refinement is easy to see. The well-appointed rear cargo area includes a
storage unit with rechargeable flashlight and improved grocery hooks. The spare tire compartment includes removable dual
storage bins. And for optimum convenience, an all-new power liftgate is available for effortless remote convenience.
Grand Cherokee’s Automatic Temperature Control (ATC) system is designed to deliver improved performance and function, providing 10% more airflow by reducing airflow restriction, allowing the system to flow large amounts of air very quietly. Airflow is uniformly distributed and quiet.
Two adjustable outlets in the back of the center console significantly improve cabin average temperature resulting in a temperature difference of only 1° between the front and rear seat areas.
The world-class Dual-zone Automatic Temperature Control allows completely independent driver-side to passenger-side control of temperature. The full range of comfort settings is available on either side of the vehicle, independent of each other. New controls are logical and easy to operate and understand.
The wheelbase on the all-new Jeep Grand Cherokee is over five inches longer than the previous model. It creates more interior room and gives passengers four additional inches of rear-seat knee and leg room.
Larger front door openings (almost 2 inches wider and 2 inches higher) and rear doors open 78° compared to the previous Grand Cherokee (67°) for better access to the interior.
An available fold-flat front-passenger seat provides greater versatility by allowing long objects (i.e. an eight-foot 2 x 4) to be loaded inside the vehicle. Once flat, the hard plastic seatback also serves as a utility table.
Cargo volume behind the second-row is 36.3 cubic feet. That’s an increase of 17% (an additional 6.8 cubic feet) compared to the previous model.
The rear cargo area includes: a storage unit with removable/rechargeable flashlight, a tethered 12-volt electrical power outlet and an available grated, protective floor accented with a durable and bright finish (Limited and Overland).
The load floor system has a carpeted surface. It features a latch for lifting the floor lid. The load capacity of the cargo load floor system is 250 pounds.
The spare tire compartment includes two large removable storage bins for secure storage.
An all-new available power rear liftgate can be operated from controls on the overhead console, a button in the rear cargo area or the keyfob. The flipper glass window is standard on both the power and manual liftgate.
The lockable glove box is larger. Inside the door is a dedicated slot for User Guide storage.
An all-new center console contains dual storage bins, an iPod docking station that is capable of storing up to seven CDs or DVDs, removable and washable cup holders, a 12v power outlet with tether cap, an LED-lighted USB connection, and in the rear, video jacks and an 115v power outlet inverter for video games.
An overhead console is standard on all models. It includes two incandescent lamps, two LED map/reading lamps, a covered storage bin, sunglass bin and control switches for the available HomeLink®, power sunroof, power sunshade (on dual pane) and power liftgate.
The all-new CommandView® Dual-Pane Panoramic sunroof provides twice as much glass surface than a standard sunroof and extends from the windshield to the rear of the vehicle. It consists of two glass panels – one at the front and one at the rear. CommandView also features a power sunshade to cover the deep tinted glass panels when closed.
A traditional power sunroof is available with the Rear DVD Entertainment Center.
Passive Entry and the Keyless ignition push-button starter are standard.
Standard Active Head Restraints deploy in the event of a rear collision in order to minimize the gap between the head restraint and occupant’s head.
Standard seat-mounted side thorax air bags enhance protection of the driver and front passenger.
Standard laminated glass.
