2007 Jeep® Grand Cherokee: Design

Auburn Hills, Mich. August 31, 2006 -

DESIGN

Trevor Creed, Senior Vice President – Design, Chrysler Group: “The 2007 Jeep Grand Cherokee offers an athletic and contemporary appearance. It is proof that there is no reason that a capable vehicle can’t be comfortable and polished.”

Exterior Ready to Take Action
With its upright and substantial posture, the 2007 Jeep Grand Cherokee’s design offers an athletic and contemporary appearance. The exterior design has a high belt line and a reduced glass-to-body proportion. The signature seven-slot grille boldly dominates the front view. The Grand Cherokee Laredo features a body-color grille, while a chrome-plated grille accents the Limited.

The shape of the body is designed to protect the sides of the vehicle from potential road debris. The bodyside molding also has the integrated Grand Cherokee name for a high-quality look and feel. At the side, a proportionately longer hood and greater distance between the center of the front axle and the base of the windshield emphasize the engine compartment and help to achieve a more powerful image.

Interior Design Elegant and Functional
The Jeep Grand Cherokee takes capability and refinement to new levels. An inviting interior awaits occupants with a rich, two-tone instrument panel treatment, door trims and upscale interior finishes.

Jeep Grand Cherokee’s seats are beautifully crafted with contours that are precise, firm and ergonomic, featuring a robust structure. They are purpose-built and designed for long-distance comfort with trim styles different for each model: Laredo features cloth and optional leather, while Limited seats are two-tone leather with perforated inserts.

The dramatic and elegant instrument panel design offers a high degree of precision. Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo adds chrome control buttons for 2007, and all models have upgraded interior appointments. The instrument panel features a dark upper color and lighter lower color. Multiple bins are available for additional storage.

In the rear cargo area, versatility and storage reign. A reversible load-floor panel is carpeted on one side and offers easy-to-clean plastic on the other. The plastic side includes a large shallow tray for additional utility.
