The Jeep Grand Cherokee is a staple in Jeep’s lineup of SUVs and the 2019 Latitude is no different. Even though it is the base model in the Grand Cherokee lineup, it still has some great features that are sure to make it a great choice for anyone looking for a new SUV. Let’s take a closer look at all of the great features of the Latitude to give you a better snapshot of what you will be getting.
Powertrain
The 2019 Jeep Grand Cherokee Latitude comes standard with a 2.4L Tigershark MultiAir I4 engine and a 6 speed automatic transmission. It is equipped with Jeep’s famous engine start/stop technology to provide you with an estimated 22 miles per gallon in the city and an impressive 31 miles per gallon on the highway.
Exterior
At first glance, the Latitude looks like far more than a base model as it was built with the consumer in mind. Beautiful 17” wheels, body color heated mirrors, LED fog lamps, chrome grille surround roof rails, and aesthetically pleasing badging really bring this car together.
Interior
Stepping into the interior, you will notice a nice set of cloth bucket seats in the front with 6 way adjustments and rear 60/40 folding split-recline seats in the rear. The rear seats will also include a rear armrest with a cup holder built in for added comfort.
Entertainment
No car is complete without the right audio system. Jeep has equipped the Latitude with a Uconnnect 4 system that includes a 7” touchscreen, pinch to zoom display, voice command, bluetooth connectivity, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, & Sirius XM satellite radio. It also includes a media center with an auxiliary input and three USB ports for added entertainment.
Safety Features
Jeep puts your safety first and the 2019 Latitude really shows it. With standard safety features such as all speed traction control, electronic stability control, enhanced accident response system, hill start assist, back up camera and trailer sway damping, it’s no surprise why many consumers choose the Latitude to keep their families safe. To ensure that you are stopping on a dime, the Latitude features a 4 wheel disc anti-lock brake system standard. You will also get a blind spot monitoring system and rear cross path detection on the Latitude as well.
Mechanical Features
The Latitude also sports many useful mechanical features as well. These features include auxiliary transmission oil cooler, electric park brake, engine oil heat exchanger, lock on sync tire pressure system, standard duty engine cooling, tilt/telescoping steering column, tip start, tire service kit, and an underbody aerodynamic treatment.
Lighting
As an additional safety feature and exterior feature, this Jeep will come with LED daytime running lights, tail lights, and fog lights for an upgraded, high performing lighting system. LED lighting is much more efficient and brighter than standard halogen bulbs found on many other vehicles. This is also a great upgrade for those who like to take their Jeep offroading as trails can be illuminated perfectly by the LED lighting.
