2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee


2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee is supported by a 3.6-liter V-6 engine Pentastar. The 3.6-liter V-6 engine is all-new design featuring a double overhead camshaft (DOHC) and high pressure die-cast aluminum cylinder blocks in the configuration of 60 degrees. It features Variable-Valve Timing (VVT) and provides 280 horsepower (209 kW) and 260 lb.-ft. torque (353 N • m) @ 4800 rpm.
This all-new Pentastar V-6 engine improves fuel economy up to 11 percent compared with the previous Jeep Grand Cherokee equipped with a V-6.
