Off-Road Features

Off-Road Capabilities

The 2021 Jeep Grand Cherokee is available with a 4×4 drive system that operates on the Quadra-Trac I technology. You don’t have to manually adjust this drivetrain, which automatically engages and disengages the axles as needed. Paired with a two-speed transfer case, the Quadra-Trac II 4WD system sends power to the appropriate axle based on the driving conditions. The All-Speed Traction Control technology is integrated into this signature drivetrain. Capable of diverting up to 100 percent of available torque to an individual wheel, the Quadra-Drive II 4×4 drive delivers industry-leading, off-road capabilities. The Electronic Limited-Slip Differential adjusts the torque flow in this patented driveline. Backed up by the Active On-Demand technology, the 2021 Kia Telluride’s optional AWD system provides good all-weather traction. You could also choose the AWD Lock and Snow modes for this AWD. You’ll get more driving modes from the Grand Cherokee’s Traction Management System, including the Sand and Rock modes. Additionally, this Trail Rated SUV has better articulation and water fording capabilities than the Kia model.
