Pre-Owned Jeep Grand Cherokees: The Lap of Luxury

How do you define luxury? To some, it’s about having the latest and greatest technology, while others believe comfort is a significant part of the word. Regardless of what your interpretation of luxury is, you’ll find it in a used Jeep Grand Cherokee. The Grand Cherokee was first introduced into the market in 1993, almost twenty years after the introduction of the Jeep Cherokee.

While the classic Cherokee lineup would continue to evolve through annual updates, the Grand Cherokee was both new and exciting to existing Jeep drivers. The Grand Cherokee has become a haven for drivers looking to take their Jeep experience to the next level and continues to do so today. When you purchase a used Jeep Grand Cherokee, you won’t just be getting a powerful vehicle, but a luxurious one as well.

In an effort to increase the luxurious properties of the Grand Cherokee itself, Jeep has always allowed a staggering amount of customization options. This means that your Grand Cherokee can be as luxurious as you want it to be, in addition to the standard feature set. However, you may be wondering, just how luxurious does the feature set become for the Grand Cherokee?

The way you can get the optimal amount of luxury comes down to the trim level you choose and the extra packages you can purchase. One of the most substantial advantages you’ll have when purchasing a pre-owned Grand Cherokee over the competition is long-lasting relevancy. What this ultimately means is that you’ll find luxury features in models from as far back as 2009 that are still in use today in the Grand Cherokee, while other manufacturers won’t offer nearly as many luxury features.

What Kind of Luxury Features?

First impressions matter, and this is why Jeep has put so much attention into the Grand Cherokee’s interior. The Grand Cherokee’s interior has been carefully crafted to be nothing less than awe-inspiring. Although you’ll typically find a cloth-interior, you can still find leather-trimmed seats on models as far back as 2013. While the Jeep Grand Cherokee has historically seated a maximum of five passengers at any given time, everybody will be seated comfortably.

Complementing the spacious interior with front and back row leather seats helps provide an elegant contrast that can only be described as luxurious. Taking things a step further, the Grand Cherokee can be found with a power-adjustable driver’s seat in models even as old as 2009. Not only is this seat ideal for customizing your seating position for the utmost comfort, but it also comes with adjustable power-lumbar support for the lower back region. These power-adjustable chairs are still available on the lineup today as they come standard on almost every trim except.

For some, luxury is interpreted as experiencing the latest and greatest technology. Amongst the most recent technologies that have been introduced into the automotive market, a significant amount of effort has been poured into both entertainment and connectivity. No longer are road trips accompanied by passenger boredom as the Grand Cherokee has provided fun and exciting things to do while on the road.

Not only does this hold today, but even older models such as the 2014 and 2015 Grand Cherokee have provided state-of-the-art methods of entertainment. One of the ways Jeep has accomplished this is by integrating rear-seat entertainment centers with blu-ray drives into the Grand Cherokee. Adding onto this already great deal is an additional screen so that two passengers in the backseat can enjoy the same content.

Infotainment Meets Entertainment

Manufacturers have been implementing infotainment centers into their vehicles for quite some time now. However, they’re not always a guarantee, even on the newest vehicles on the market, and it can easily be considered a luxury to many drivers. The first Grand Cherokee to implement an infotainment center was the 2014 model. When purchasing a used Grand Cherokee from 2014, it will come with either a 5 or 8.4-inch screen, with the former being standard and the latter as an upgrade.

Listening to music while driving is a timeless way of being entertained on-the-road, and vehicles such as the Grand Cherokee help enhance your favorite songs. While looking at a 2015 Grand Cherokee for reference, it’s standard offering is a six-speaker system. With the 2015 Grand Cherokee, you can opt to replace this arrangement with a 9-speaker setup and even an incredible 19-speaker system.

This premium setup is provided courtesy of Harman Kardon and will completely immerse you and breathe new life into your favorite music. Accessing your favorite music is done through a few ways, whether it’s traditional means of radio or accessing media directly through your phone. In 2017, the Grand Cherokee received a standard 7-inch touch screen infotainment center while the 8.4-inch screen remained an available upgrade.

Apple CarPlay and Android Auto Availability

Nowadays, smartphones and vehicles go hand-in-hand for many reasons. Not only are you able to access your favorite music while on-the-road, but you’re able to essentially transform the infotainment experience as well. Although there are many different types of smartphones out there, a good majority of them are either Apple iPhones or Android smartphones.

Apple released Apple CarPlay in 2014, and Google released Android Auto in 2015 to reinvent how we stay connected when driving. These features can easily be considered luxurious for a multitude of reasons as it enhances the versatility of your already robust infotainment center. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto became standard in the Grand Cherokee starting with the 2018 model year, and it continues to be part of the lineup today. This ultimately means if you’re interested in obtaining Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, your best chance of doing so is by shopping for a 2018 Grand Cherokee. As this model isn’t particularly old yet, you may even be able to find one listed as a CPO vehicle with all of the benefits associated with it.

What gives Apple CarPlay and Android Auto a sense of luxury is mostly in the name of convenience. Both Apple CarPlay and Android Auto work like magic, as connecting your smartphone is as easy as connecting a USB cable. Once you’re connected, all of your phone’s most important functions will be easily accessible to you at all times. By utilizing voice-commands with virtual assistants such as Siri on the Apple side and Google Assistant for Android users, you can get a variety of tasks done while on the road.

Not only can your virtual assistant make phone calls and send text messages by solely utilizing your voice, but can also give you turn-by-turn navigation, weather forecasts, sports updates, and much more. In addition to having full access to your contacts, you’ll also have access to your music library, podcasts, and audiobooks directly from the infotainment screen itself. Since everybody loves customization, you can download additional apps through both app stores provided by Apple and Google, allowing you to download extra features. All of these features are still considered brand-new in the eyes of many drivers, and it helps to add to an already luxurious feature-set.
