Georgetown, TX-- (SBWIRE) -- 02/26/2011 -- Car shoppers looking for an award-winning Jeep from their Austin Jeep dealer should look no further than the redesigned 2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee.

The updated Jeep model has received a plethora of different awards and titles in recent months, and its newest award is the Four Wheeler of the Year award from Four Wheeler magazine.

This award recognizes the versatility and leading elements that make the Grand Cherokee the best vehicle on the market, including its best-in-class capability, upgraded on-road driving experience and new features that Austin Jeep shoppers will love.

“The 5.7-liter V-8 offers ample horsepower throughout the power band; its tightly tuned unibody chassis and four-wheel independent suspension give it a sporty on-road ride; and the Jeep's new Selec-Terrain off-road driving mode and class-leading hill-descent systems virtually eliminate guesswork when crawling through uneven and off-camber terrain. It's the most street-tuned, pavement-friendly version of this vehicle ever built," says Douglas McColloch, editor of Four Wheeler magazine.

The 2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee is available now for Austin Jeep shoppers at Mac Haik Dodge Chrysler Jeep.
Almost two decades ago, Jeep invented the premium SUV segment with the introduction of the Grand Cherokee. With the 2011 model, twenty years of quality and performance are further enhanced to deliver the most impressive Grand Cherokee yet. Austin Jeep shoppers are sure to be impressed with its endless capabilities.

With three 4×4 systems available at for Austin Jeep shoppers, the 2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee is built to perform. Quadra-Trac I delivers full-time four-wheel drive without switches and levers, and is the best choice for overall efficiency. Quadra-Trac II has a two-speed transfer case and uses sensors to determine tire slip, and ultimately take corrective action. Quadra-Drive II features a rear Electronic Limited Slip Differential and is built with the industry’s best capability. The Quadra-Trac II and Quadra-Drive II have a standard Selec-Terrain system, which allows the driver to choose the best option for their off-road or on-road driving needs. Jeep Grand Cherokee drivers can select from five terrain modes: automatic, sand/mud, sport, snow and rock.

These features make the Jeep Grand Cherokee one of the best vehicles available for adventurous off-roading, but also is a sensible, reliable everyday vehicle.

The interior of the 2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee also received great updates that all occupants will love. Elements of luxury, including leather seats, a panoramic sunroof overhead, ambient lighting and wood paneling makes it easy to forget that the vehicle is designed for off-roading.

The exterior of the Jeep has been updated to maintain sportiness, but includes the same luxurious feel of the interior. The new features also add new aerodynamics to the vehicle.
