TERRAIN KING: JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE
New Jeep Grand Cherokee with 3-litres diesel motor offer a riding comfort thanks to several new systems. It is for example wider wheel track and stiffer construction Uni-Frame. Thanks to new independent suspension front wheels and five-elementary suspension the back wheels Grand Cherokee overcome more difficult obstacles and asperities in the field with lightness. The new system of variable steering react accurately, so the control of the car is good not only in the field but on asphalt road and in sharp and narrow curves, too.
Skilled driver manage easy tilt of car without problems during sharp slalom driving. Without problems is also overtaking, thanks acceleration under 10 seconds. With accelerator is used to treat very sensitive because consuption will be quickly unstable. In town we reached 13 litres oil/100 kms, which usher a producer. Worse it was on free road, where we didn't hold average consuption under the 12 litres.
On slippery surface help hold a control above car ABS system. It works with electronic stabilization program and with system of control the traction on all four wheels. Brakes operate immediately with full intensity. In tested car was 3-litres six-cylinder CRD with direct injection from next generation of diesel motors. It has a high torque 510 Nm, what we felt especially by outrunning. Agreeable atmosphere keep in the cabin smooth and silent run of motor.
Absolute novelty in this car is an active system of propulsion all wheels with electronic differential with limited accord. System Quadra-Drive II anticipate the loss of traction, intervene immediatly and if it's necessary, carry 100 per cent torque to wheel with the biggest traction over. Low placed front axle evoked fears whether will be vertical clearance sufficient for overcome the sharp edges.
In tested model Limited we had standard delivered system of monitoring pressure in tires, too. Then rain sensor and front seat heater. Ergonomics in cabin is on good level. Divided back seats can very quickly let down and create flat area in loading capacity so.
Jeep Grand Cherokee exude adequate respect with its size to the rest members the traffic, in the field manage with big traps, also.
