It’s no secret that British Columbia topography runs the gamut and, when paired with the area’s notorious weather changes, driving through the province can be nerve wracking. That’s where the 2017 Jeep Grand Cherokee comes in. Equipped with the advanced Selec-Terrain Traction Management System, it’s ready for anything.
Â
It almost feels like Jeep designers had BC in mind when crafting this midsize SUV. You can choose from five driving modes: Auto, Snow, Sand, Mud, and Rock. Depending on your selection, the Grand Cherokee augments throttle, transmission, traction, and stability systems to ensure that you’re upright and always in control.
Â
At the same time, drivers need not trouble themselves with switching back and forth between modes. While selecting one of the Selec-Terrain options gives the system a heads up, the Auto setting is perfectly capable of engaging the proper tools without instruction.
Â
Regardless of the driving surface, navigating sharp inclines and declines can be tricky. That’s why the Selec-Terrain system also includes Hill Ascent and Descent Controls. Now, you can tackle everything from gentle slopes to the mountainous regions of BC.
