Although it has locked in the high-end SUV market since its birth in the 1990s, Jeep Grand Cherokee has not developed a seven-seater model in the direction of comprehensively optimizing product strength in the development of the first four generations of models. However, this situation will be completely changed with the debut of the new generation of Jeep Grand Cherokee. Recently, the road test spy photos of the seven-seat version of the Grand Cherokee have been exposed.
Judging from the exposed road test spy photos, the seven-seater version of the Jeep Grand Cherokee has further increased the size of the rear suspension compared to the previously exposed five-seater version. It provides a seating space that can satisfy the third row of passengers, and the sense of volume of the vehicle has also been greatly improved due to the increase in the size of the rear suspension. On the whole, the slenderness of the seven-seater Jeep Grand Cherokee is well portrayed under the influence of the highly inclined A-pillar and the straight roof.
It is particularly worth mentioning that in the bottom part, although it has taken the seven-seater route, it is obvious that the seven-seater Grand Cherokee still retains its tradition as an off-road vehicle. The wheel eyebrows reserve a huge compression stroke for the wheels, and the wheels, like a traditional off-road vehicle, use tires with a high aspect ratio to lift the body under the action of a large suspension stroke.
Therefore, even if it becomes a seven-seater layout, it is still what a handsome off-road vehicle should look like. The improvement of the suspension stroke also means that the seven-seater version of the Grand Cherokee will become a rare player in this market segment that enhances off-road performance. This will be very attractive to the market.
According to the information currently available, the new generation of Grand Cherokee will be based on Alfa Romeo’s vertical-engine rear-wheel-drive load-bearing body platform architecture, which means that the new car will be compatible with the Grand Commander with a transverse engine platform. Constitute the high and low layout of the price. The simultaneous appearance of five-seater models and seven-seater models will also make Jeep’s next product series more subdivided.
In terms of power, the new car will be equipped with a hybrid system consisting of a 3.0L power and an electric motor. According to Jeep’s plan, the new generation of Grand Cherokee is expected to officially debut at the end of this year or early next year.
