2009 Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited

The 2009 Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited has many additional features and add-ons, but is still powered by a 3.7-liter PowerTech V6 with a five-speed automatic transmission and traction control. Dual-zone automatic climate controls provide comfort regardless of the season, while a power sunroof is available for those not afraid of fresh air and sunshine. A navigation system with voice recognition and traffic information is joined by cruise control, a universal garage door opener, a 115-volt power outlet, a tachometer, a trip computer, and a center console to make sure the driving experience is an enjoyable one. Seats are heated at this level, and the front buckets and split-folding rear seat come with leather upholstery. The passenger seat has 4-way power, while the driver’s comes with 8-way power and lumbar adjustability, as well as a memory system to govern not only the driver’s seat, but the heated power mirrors and power-adjustable pedals. Couple that with a leather-wrapped tilt/telescoping steering wheel, and you’re sure to find a comfortable position. Windows and door locks are also power and are matched by remote keyless entry and engine start. The stereo is upgraded to a Boston Acoustics AM/FM/6-CD/MP3 changer with an iPod adapter, hard drive, Bluetooth, and integrated steering-wheel-mounted controls. A rear-obstacle-detection system comes with a rearview camera, and continuing in the vein of visibility, mirrors automatically dim for day and night, foglights are included, and the headlights are automatic on and off as well as self-dimming. The front variable-intermittent wipers are rain-sensing and paired with a rear wiper, washer, and defogger. The 17-inch alloys are wrapped in all-terrain white-letter tires. A roof rack, cargo cover, and rear privacy glass are also included.

Safety features for the 2009 Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited include dual front, front side, and curtain side airbags with rollover sensors, four-wheel antilock disc brakes with brake assist and an anti-skid system, a tire pressure monitor, and a theft-deterrent system.
