All models are paired to an 8-speed automatic transmission. Independent front and multi-link rear suspension systems and a unibody structure have made the Grand Cherokee's frame very rigid.

Trailhawk models come with Jeep's Quadra-Drive II 4x4 system, which uses an electronic limited-slip differential in the rear and Quadra-Lift air suspension to improve off-road performance.

The Trailhawk also gets a unique black interior with suede performance seats and a gunmetal finish for the interior trim. Outside, Trailhawk models get 18-inch off-road wheels, additional underbody protection, red tow hooks, and red Trailhawk badges.

A 19-speaker Harman/Kardon audio system and 825-watt amplifier takes the music to the next level.
