Rear-wheel drive is standard; three different four-wheel-drive systems are optional. The Laredo comes standard with Quadra-Trac I, which essentially functions as all-wheel drive.

2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee Professional Cars.com ReviewSource: Cars.com...Choosing Quadra-Trac II or Quadra-Drive II also adds Jeep's Selec-Terrain system, which is similar to Land Rover's Terrain Response technology and a dial-operated system in the upcoming 2011 Ford Explorer. With Selec-Terrain, you simply choose the appropriate setting for your conditions — Sand/Mud, Snow, Rock, Auto or Sport — and the Grand Cherokee configures its systems to provide the appropriate response to your conditions. Selec-Terrain also coordinates the Quadra-Lift air suspension on models that have it. Quadra-Lift provides up to 10.7 inches of ground clearance in its highest mode... |

2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee Professional Cars.com ReviewSource: Cars.com...In the realm of other family-friendly entertainment features, the 2011 Grand Cherokee also comes with Jeep's user-friendly Uconnect system that allows you to navigate, call your friends and play your favorite tunes from the comfort of the driver's seat.

2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee — Flash DriveSource: MSN Autos...The electronic throttle is less responsive than I would like, and the steering has an isolated feel, although it does respond well to steering inputs. Ride and handling are controlled and smooth. Plus, the new Grand Cherokee is definitely bigger than the original. The extra width creates a spacious feel and a nice size cabin for a 5-passenger SUV. –Mike MeredithJeep has completely redesigned the Grand Cherokee for 2011, and at first blush, it seems to have done an impressive job. It's still recognizable as a Jeep, but the lines have been smoothed, giving it a more refined look. The interior... |

Why should I also consider these?
The new Grand Cherokee still calls itself an SUV, while seven-seat “crossovers” rule the sales charts today.
Of those vehicles, the Cherokee’s most like the VW Touareg in interior room and off-roadability.
The Touareg can be frighteningly expensive, though.
The Cherokee’s far more attractive than the blocky Honda Pilot, but it’s not quite as distinctive as the boutique-shopper’s choice, the rather exclusive Land Rover LR4.
The Chevrolet Traverse equals the Cherokee in drivetrain refinement, but it’s much more comfortable toting tots than crossing anything more challenging than a four-way intersection.
The wild card here: Ford’s 2011 Explorer, which ditches body-on-frame design for crossover appeal and better fuel economy.
