Hey All,
I took possession of my Limited allocation yesterday wanted to post some photos as well as my initial impression of the vehicle.
I had initial concerns about the 4 cylinder turbo, but it has plenty of power and giddy up. getting up to speed on they highway is not difficult at all.
the AVS suspension is really nice, however due to the 20 in wheel i do feel the road in city driving a bit more than my previous jeep grand cherokee. once i have ran through these initial tires i will look to get something with a bit taller sidewall, but that being said the ride on the highway and city is extremely smooth.
i think i need to break in the suspension a little more, as i continue to drive, it seems to be getting a little softer
Compared to my 2012 Grand Cherokee it has more of a “truck” feel
The leather seats are extremely comfortable as well as the driving position of them. the heated and ventilated seats are a really nice touch, this is my first vehicle with them, so i cannot compare it to others, but in my opinion they are great.
there was speculation about the non-hybrid Limited not having 4 low or a center locking diff, I can confirm it has both
I have not tried the different drive modes yet but will follow up once i have tried the Sport and comfort modes, i would be curious to see if the comfort mode softens up the suspension enough to erase more of the bumps felt driving around in the city. - will test and confirm later
-Update i have tested both comfort mode and sport mode
comfort mode does have a noticeable difference in the ride, the suspension softens up to erase more of the bumps in the road
sport and sport+, the suspension stiffens as well as the steering making it ideal for highway driving
while its not the "Off Road" focused model i have no doubts that it would be able to handle off road trails with ease... I'm not trying to go rock crawling with it but it should handle moderate trails if you wanted to take it on them, i would recommend bigger tires and a better skid plate first though. - im planning to take her to the trails some time this weekend to see the capability.
my only dislike is the Auto Stop Start feature... but it can be turned off at the press of a button and as some one has already posted there is an easy mod to turn off ASS on engine start.
If you have questions feel free to ask ill do my best to answer what i can.
