2011 Grand Cherokee Proves its Safety with Top Award

2011 Grand Cherokee
The 2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee has become the latest model from Chrysler Group to earn “Top Safety Pick” status. Chrysler Group LLC holds more than 20 percent of the total IIHS 2010 Top Safety Picks in the mid-size SUV segment and more than 12 percent overall. The all-new 2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee has received a Top Safety Pick award by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) — the highest rating the organization bestows. The 2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee offers more than 45 different safety and security systems working in harmony — including Electronic Stability Control (ESC), Electronic Roll Mitigation, Active Head Restraints, Adaptive Cruise Control, Forward Collision Warning and a Blind-Spot/Rear Cross-path detection system — our new Jeep Grand Cherokee will allow customers to benefit from a new level of protection, on- and off-road.
The Top Safety Pick status by IIHS recognizes automobiles with ESC that perform well in the Institute’s front-impact, side-impact, rear-impact and new for 2010, roof-strength evaluations. The 2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee, 2010 Jeep Patriot, 2010 Chrysler Sebring, 2010 Dodge Avenger and 2010 Dodge Journey encompass a two-fold approach to safety—passive features combined with accident-avoidance features. Almost 20 years ago the Jeep Cherokee was born. Now, more than 4 million sales later, Jeep delivers an all-new Grand Cherokee that balances legendary Jeep capability with improved, sophisticated on-road dynamics that deliver a premium driving experience. Capability highlights include a choice of three 4×4 systems, new Jeep Quadra-Lift Air Suspension and Selec-Terrain systems, and towing capability of 7,400 lbs. On-road dynamics are improved courtesy of new independent front and rear suspension systems and a new body structure that dramatically increases torsional stiffness for reduced Noise, Vibration and Harshness (NVH) levels. The Grand Cherokee represents a brand new model, with top of the line Jeep capability, along with the peace of mind you are driving a safe vehicle; for many consumers it can’t get better than that.
