A new Overland model joins the Laredo and Limited trims for 2006. An Electronic Stability Program and one-touch up/down front-door windows are now standard. New Laredo options include Quadra-Trac II four-wheel drive and an offroad package for V-6 models.
Redesigned for 2005, the Grand Cherokee sport utility vehicle can be equipped with a 3.7-liter V-6, a 4.7-liter V-8 or a 5.7-liter V-8. The 5.7-liter Hemi incorporates a Multi-Displacement System that deactivates half of the cylinders during cruising and light acceleration in order to increase fuel economy.
Three four-wheel-drive systems are available. Quadra-Trac I provides full-time all-wheel-drive operation and requires no attention from the driver. Quadra-Trac II is a full-time active four-wheel-drive system that has low-range gearing. Quadra-Drive II includes electronic limited-slip differentials for heightened offroad capability.
To satiate high-performance fans, a Grand Cherokee SRT8 debuts for 2006.
