Jeep Grand Cherokee Four-Wheel Drive: Confidence That Comes Standard

The Jeep Grand Cherokee 4WD lineup is all about intelligent performance when handling brutal conditions. These four-wheel drive systems constantly monitor road conditions using advanced technology where the system senses wheelspin and automatically applies brakes to the affected wheel. This system works by adjusting power distribution automatically to ensure maximum traction, whether you’re on dry pavement or forging through off-road obstacles.

Quadra-Trac I®: Seamless Simplicity For Everyday Adventures

If you’re looking for all-weather confidence without the need for extra buttons or decisions, Quadra-Trac I® might be your perfect fit. This full-time 4×4 system is always engaged with a brake lock differential and doesn’t require driver input, so it’s designed to deliver power to all four wheels at all times, making it a solid choice for drivers who frequently encounter rain, snow, or variable conditions on their daily commute.

The Quadra-Trac I® system is especially popular in the Jeep Grand Cherokee’s more road-focused trims. Its single-speed transfer case thinks for you, redistributing torque when tire slip is detected, meaning smoother rides in uncertain conditions and no need to shift into different drive modes.

Quadra-Trac II®: Ready For the Trail and The Unexpected

For those who demand more from their vehicle, like riding trailheads, hitting the campground on the weekend, and riding along unpaved roads, the Quadra-Trac II® system steps things up. This advanced Jeep Grand Cherokee 4WD setup includes a two-speed transfer case, allowing you to switch into low range for more torque and control when tackling tough terrain. The Quadra-Trac II® system has the ability to adjust torque distribution using sensors to detect wheel slip preemptively and can proactively shift up to 100% of available torque to the axle with the most grip. Whether you’re facing a sudden downpour or rocky ascent, Quadra-Trac II® keeps you in control. You’ll find the system paired with Jeep’s Selec-Terrain® traction management system, which gives you modes like Snow, Sand, Mud, and Rock, each adjusting throttle, shifting, and torque delivery to match the terrain. As a result, the Jeep Grand Cherokee equipped with Quadra-Trac II® becomes a confident off-road explorer without giving up maneuverability.

Quadra-Drive® II: Pure 4×4 Precision

If you’re looking for the most advanced Jeep Grand Cherokee 4WD available, Quadra-Drive® II is where legendary capability reaches its peak. This system includes all the features of Quadra-Trac II® but adds a rear electronic limited slip differential, which can deliver up to 100% of torque to a single rear wheel when necessary. In real-world terms, Quadra-Drive® II delivers remarkable grip, as even if only one wheel has traction, this system will find it. Whether you’re crawling over rocks, navigating deep snow, or handling a steep incline, Quadra-Drive® II keeps you moving with uncanny precision.
