Tapping Into the Technology Features of the 2024 Jeep Grand Cherokee
When it comes to innovative technology in the automotive industry, it can be found in both the driver-assistance and safety features and the amenities that keep you and your passengers connected during the drive.

With that in mind, knowing the 2024 Jeep Grand Cherokee has the most available technology features of any other vehicle in its class is key. This isn’t surprising, as the Grand Cherokee has always prioritized technology. Debuting in 1992, it was a boxy SUV with a hint of luxury and rugged durability, along with the latest technology at the time, which included power locks and windows, cruise control, and keyless entry.

Safety and Driver-Assistance Technology
One of the most advanced technology features available in the 2024 Jeep Grand Cherokee is the Hands-Free Active Driving Assist System and the Active Driving Assist System. Both systems were created to make driving more relaxing, especially on longer road trips. The Active Driving Assist System works by monitoring where your vehicle is in relation to the road and making consistent steering adjustments to ensure it stays where it should be.
The available Hands-Free Active Driving Assist System differs in that you can take your hands off the wheel; however, the system monitors driver focus at all times, ensuring you can take over if needed. While you still need to remain focused on the road ahead, the support you get from the system allows you to be more engaged with your passengers and enjoy the drive more than ever before. Additionally, the system provides you with Hands-Free Lane Centering Assistance and Distance Keep Control on compatible roads throughout the country. Additionally, you’ll enjoy Curve Speed Control, which senses upcoming curves in the road and adjusts vehicle speed as necessary. With the curve in the rearview, the system increases to the original set speed.
The hands-free system is also able to safely change lanes and watch for other vehicles in your space, adding another layer of safety. The Assisted Lane Change system scans for vehicles in the adjacent lane the minute you activate the turn signal. If it doesn’t sense a vehicle in that space, it will slide the Grand Cherokee over smoothly. Meanwhile, the Lane Scanning System ensures your vehicle is at a safe distance from vehicles in the lanes beside you. For instance, if a vehicle passes on your left side a little too closely, the system will make subtle adjustments to move you over to a safer position in your lane.
Additional driver-assistance technology includes the 360-degree Surround View Camera, which is standard on the Summit trim. This camera gives you a clear view of the area around your Grand Cherokee, providing more confidence as you drive down the road. You’ll also feel safer driving after the sun goes down—or before it comes up again—thanks to the available Night Vision system. This system used thermographic technology and infrared sensors to scan the road ahead for pedestrians or animals that might be on the roadway.
There’s also the available Drowsy Driver Detection system that tracks vehicle movement and driver interaction. If it senses you’re not able to focus as you should, it sends audible and visual alerts that suggest taking a break for a few minutes before continuing to head to your destination. Last but not least, you’ll also enjoy the available Parallel and Perpendicular Park Assist. This system is a must when trying to navigate tight parking spaces. It recognizes open spaces and steers the vehicle into the spot while directing you to shift gears and apply the brakes or gas when needed. Both of these systems are standard on the Summit trim level.
These are just a few of the many driver-assisted technology safety features you’ll find when looking at the 2024 Jeep Grand Cherokee. Our team can answer any questions you might have about these and the other safety features available to ensure you choose the trim level that works best for you and your needs.
Technology That Keeps You Connected
When you slide into the driver’s seat of certain Jeep Grand Cherokee trim levels, the first thing you might notice is the UConnect 10.1-inch touchscreen. Not only does this touchscreen make it easy to find where you’re going, thanks to the available TomTom Navigation system, but it also gives you easy access to your favorite apps by connecting seamlessly to compatible phones. It also allows you to customize the experience for up to five user profiles.
Have you ever wished your front-seat passenger could be more of a co-pilot? That wish is fulfilled when choosing the 2024 Jeep Grand Cherokee, thanks to the available front passenger screen. This screen lets your front-seat passenger send directions to your touchscreen and more. Additionally, if your Grand Cherokee comes equipped with the available rear-seat entertainment package, passengers in the back of the vehicle will enjoy access to Amazon Fire TV to play movies and music or stream content to wireless headphones. Speaking of the passengers in the back of the vehicle, you can also keep a closer eye on things with the help of the available rear-seat monitoring camera. The camera even has a zoom feature to ensure you get the best view.
You’ll also get a clear view of the road behind your Grand Cherokee with the help of the available Digital Rearview Mirror. Unlike traditional rearview cameras, this system gives you the ability to switch to real-time rear video, which helps when cargo or rear-seat passengers might be in the way.
Additional technology that helps you stay connected during the drive includes the available 10-inch Head-up Display. This technology sends information to the area just above your steering wheel on the front windshield, allowing you to view things like speed, incoming calls, directions, and more. More information can be viewed on the 10.25-inch Driver Information Digital Cluster Display, which is found at eye level beyond the steering wheel. Last but not least, you’ll enjoy a wire-free area up front thanks to the available wireless charging pad.
