Intended for those with an active life style, the Jeep Grand Cherokee Range still appeals to those seeking the finer things in life with a more generous interior upgraded from prior models. You won't find a hint of the plastic dashboards and headache inducing interior colors. In their place are finer textures and a larger palette of color choices to build the vehicle of your dreams. But the customization and updates don't stop there. The Jeep Grand Cherokee Range still retains that easily identifiable front end its brand is known for but with this model, they stepped it up a notch with a wide range of alloy wheels and a front sill colored to match the vehicle's body. But remember, despite all these plushy upgrades, under the hood still beats the heart of a Jeep.

In that same vein, you'll be happy to know that the off-road agility you crave has been preserved in this model giving you the agility and handling you have previously only thought the Wrangler capable of. Thanks to the new Hill Descent Control, the Jeep Grand Cherokee Range now has that power too. On regular road trips, the electronic stability control is working overtime so you don't have to. The system keeps a constant eye on your driving and should a hectic situation arise such as a sudden stop or hard turn, it works to dramatically decrease your chance of rolling over. Should you get into a sticky situation while out exploring, you can count on the vehicle's all wheel drive system to get you out in a jiff with your under carriage still intact thanks to them squirreling it away out of harm's way beneath the vehicle to allow you the freedom to roam as you see fit.

Now remember, we said this was for both the active individual as well as those seeking a little luxury with their power. We have talked about the visual and textural luxuries, not to mention the peace of mind; now let's explore the lighter side of things because active does not mean you are too busy for the finer side of things. There are a few options that will appeal to many thrill seekers, some more practical than others. One of those features if the touch navigation system. Gone are the days of stopping to ask for directions at the closest gas station. Simply touch in your intended destination and you are well on your way. Now that might not seem like a "fun" option, but it's certainly a practical convenience. Taking a look at another option reveals the "fun" side of this vehicle with the Uconnect infotainent system, which will give most entertainment options a run for its money with the 20GB hard drive capable of storing all your favorite music as well as the ability to connect your MP3 player for further musical adventures. For those attached to their cell phones, the integrated Bluetooth technology for hands free communication will become their new best friend.

In the end, the Jeep Grand Cherokee Range is an affordable option from a model widely recognized in the market today. If you are looking for a vehicle to keep pace with your busy life yet still have the ability to "play"...this is the right one for you.
