The 2023 Jeep Grand Cherokee Is a True Luxury SUV

When the original Jeep Grand Cherokee debuted in 1993, it was designed to bring a new level of luxury to the Jeep brand. Now, 30 years later, the Grand Cherokee continues to provide drivers with a higher level of sophistication behind the wheel. From premium appointments to next-level technology, you will be surprised to see just how much the latest model offers. As your Frankfort Jeep dealer, Dan Cummins Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram of Georgetown is here to show off all of the unique features of the 2023 Grand Cherokee and let you experience for yourself what sets this legendary midsize SUV apart from the competition.

An Upscale Design for Modern Drivers

The new Grand Cherokee is designed to leave an impression from the moment you lay eyes on it. Up front is a fresh take on the iconic Jeep seven-slot grille, offering chrome highlights on most trims or a stealthy blacked-out appearance on the Altitude and Altitude X trims. The choice between shiny chrome or sleek black continues across the rest of the exterior, including the window surrounds and wheels. However, no matter which option you choose, you will have an imposing yet fluid design with smooth bodylines and a subtle floating roof, thanks to the notched D pillar. The Grand Cherokee isn’t intended to be an in-your-face vehicle but presents a more refined yet rugged look.

Unlike many modern SUVs, which are sporty and utilitarian in name only, the Grand Cherokee is a purposeful design that offers serious capability when the going gets tough. Frankfort drivers who enjoy exploring the backroads of Kentucky will enjoy the available 10.9 inches of ground clearance, putting luxury SUVs like the BMW X5 and Lexus RX to shame. The 2023 Grand Cherokee can even ford up to 24 inches of water when equipped with the Quadra-Lift air suspension. If you’re one of the many local drivers who need to haul a boat or small horse trailer on the weekend, you’ll appreciate Grand Cherokee’s 6,200 lbs of towing capacity––a figure that climbs to 7,200 lbs for the Grand Cherokee L with its optional 5.7L V8 engine.

Open up the rear hatch of the 2023 Grand Cherokee (which can be done by swinging your foot under the rear bumper, thanks to the available Hands-Free Liftgate), and you will find a spacious trunk with 37.7 cu.ft. of cargo space––more than the Lincoln Nautilus or Cadillac XT5. If you need more space for moving large objects, the three-row Grand Cherokee L provides up to 84.6 cu.ft. when both rear rows are folded down. Further, every trim of the 2023 Grand Cherokee comes with roof rack side rails, making it easy to attach a cargo carrier or bike rack if you need more space for your adventures around Kentucky.

Taking Tech to the Next Level

If there is one thing that a modern luxury SUV needs, it’s top-level tech features designed to keep you connected, entertained, and informed while on the road. That is why the 2023 Grand Cherokee is equipped with one of the best infotainment systems in its segment, loaded with handy features designed to improve your time behind the wheel and provide your passengers with a first-rate ride. At the heart of this infotainment system is the Uconnect 5 software with available built-in navigation. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are standard features, allowing you to mirror your smartphone on the available 10.1-inch center display and access your favorite apps.

However, the Grand Cherokee offers far more than your typical central infotainment display. It stands out as being one of the only models on the road to provide a separate touchscreen for your front-seat passenger. This passenger display is fully integrated with the center display, allowing your passenger to look up directions and then send the new route to the center screen for you to view. When not acting as your navigator, your passenger can even stream movies or videos through Amazon Fire TV or monitor what’s happening on the rear seat displays. Yes, there is also a pair of rear seat displays to keep your back seat passengers entertained, and they include HDMI inputs in addition to Amazon Fire TV to provide the widest possible range of entertainment options.

While all the passenger screens provide headphone jacks so everyone can listen to their music or videos, we can’t forget to mention the stunning audio systems available for the 2023 Grand Cherokee. The top-of-the-line option is an exclusive McIntosh MX950 premium sound system with 19 speakers, a 10-inch subwoofer, and a 17-channel amp delivering a resounding 950 watts of power. For comparison, the Alfa Romeo Giulia only offers 14 speakers with 900 watts of power. No matter what you prefer to listen to as you drive around Frankfort, this incredible sound system will provide concert-grade audio quality.

Relax and Drive in Comfort

A stunning and versatile design paired with incredible technology is necessary to make a modern luxury vehicle, but you can’t forget about the basics, either. All the tech and good looks in the world won’t help if the seats are uncomfortable and the interior materials feel cheap. But Jeep made sure to provide the 2023 Grand Cherokee with a solid foundation for its luxury aspirations. You can sit back and relax in the optional 16-way power-adjustable front seats, and the optional massage mode will keep you comfortable no matter how long the drive is. Plus, with heated and ventilated seats, you won’t have to worry about hot summers or cold winters.

A range of upholstery options are available, depending on the trim you choose. The Altitude and Limited provide Capri Leatherette and Suede seats, while the Overland and Summit upgrade to a premium Nappa Leather. At the top of the lineup, the Summit Reserve comes with rich Palermo Leather in either Global Black or Tupelo. Both color schemes are paired with authentic woodgrain trim along the steering wheel, dash, and doors for a seriously upscale feel. A stitched dashboard and quilted door cards further enhance the luxury atmosphere inside the top trims of the 2023 Jeep Grand Cherokee.

Your rear-seat passengers aren’t left out either. In addition to enjoying the same refined materials, they can benefit from options like the available heated seats. In the Grand Cherokee L, second-row captain’s chairs are available, which reduce the total seating capacity to six but provide greater comfort, and a second-row center console with cup holders for your passengers. The three-row model also provides a grand total of 12 USB ports and several 115V outlets, ensuring that everyone onboard can keep their devices powered up.

The Perfect Luxury SUV for Frankfort Drivers

Jeep may not commonly be thought of as a luxury brand. After all, rugged military-inspired models like the Wrangler and Gladiator are usually seen as the face of the brand. However, the Jeep Grand Cherokee is every bit a luxury SUV, providing drivers with an elevated level of comfort and convenience on their travels. The 2023 model takes its design and features to the next level, competing with conventional luxury models from brands like BMW and Lexus. But unlike those competitors, the Grand Cherokee doesn’t lose Jeep’s adventurous spirit, giving you an SUV that is ready to take on anything you might encounter in the northern Kentucky countryside around Frankfort.
