Power and Efficiency Tailored for Hiking and Exploring Near Brushy Creek, TX

Offering a powerful, yet efficient engine, paired with an automatic transmission and rear-wheel drive, this model can truly go the distance. Its excellent fuel economy ensures you spend less time at the pump during school runs or while running errands in Austin or driving around the trails of Brushy Creek. Seating five comfortably, the Grand Cherokee fits active families perfectly, especially those who don’t require space for seven or eight passengers, but want premium features.

Compared to the Toyota Highlander or Ford Explorer's layouts, you're likely to find yourself overwhelmed, and at a much steeper price. In addition, they lack the same towing power and fuel efficiency of the Grand Cherokee. Some of the specific features of this SUV include:  

• 2.0L Hurricane turbocharged inline-four engine

• Estimated MPG of 21 city / 27 highway / 24 combined

• Class-exclusive front passenger interactive touchscreen

• 12.3-inch Uconnect 5 NAV display

• Selec-Terrain System (Auto, Sport, Rock, Snow, and Mud/Sand Modes) (Limited and 85th Anniversary Edition trims)

• Maximum towing capacity of 6,200

• Quadra-Lift Air Suspension

Rugged Style and Practical Design Perfect for the Terrain in Austin, TX

The Grand Cherokee stands out with thanks to a variety of new design details, creating bold appearance that fits seamlessly within both downtown Austin’s dynamic city streets and the rolling limestone hills near Georgetown and Round Rock. It offers a muscular stance that’s slightly more compact than the Ford Explorer, giving it an edge in maneuverability around tight urban areas and residential neighborhoods without sacrificing road presence. The Toyota Highlander has a similar build, but possesses a more subdued style compared to the rugged flair of the Grand Cherokee. Some of these features include:

• 193.5 inches in length and 77.5 inches in width

• New front fascia

• Updated grille

• Redesigned LED headlamps

• Optional Baltic Grey Metallic Clear Coat (Laredo and Limited trims)

• 20x8.5 aluminum machined/painted wheels (Laredo trim)
