Jeep has offered the range-topping Overland model on the Grand Cherokee since 2011.

The Overland stands apart from lesser Cherokee models thanks to a body-colored front fascia, body colored door cladding and wheel flares, 18-inch wheels and HID headlights. The starting price for the Overland model is $34,495 and it will land at Dealerships this spring.

The vehicle comes standard with a 2.4-liter, four-cylinder engine, but that can be upgraded to a 3.2-liter, six-cylinder engine with 271 horsepower and stop-start capability.

Set atop the current Sport, Latitude, Limited and Trailhawk lineup, the new Cherokee Overland 4×4 builds on the already well-appointed Limited 4×4 trim grade. The latest Active Drive II 4×4 system, which allows the driver to disconnect the rear differential and use only front-wheel drive to help improve fuel efficiency also comes as standard.

Selec-Terrain is created to optimize the four-wheel-drive systems for unsurpassed control and capability.

In addition to being ready to tackle pavement and the occasional dirt road, the Overland also adds plenty of luxury to the already-well-equipped Cherokee.
