2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee revealed!

It's coming in June, and now we finally know what it looks like: Chrysler released images of the 2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee on Wednesday afternoon.

The Grand Cherokee is pretty much as expected--a modern take on the iconic flagship off-roader with an edgier grille and headlights, more sculpted door panels and updated wheel wells.

The 2011 Grand Cherokee was first shown at the New York auto show a year ago, and since then, the Jeep has been touted as one of the most critical vehicles for the new Chrysler, which emerged from a brief bankruptcy last year.

Chrysler will launch production of the new Jeep on Friday at the Jefferson North Assembly Plant in Detroit with CEO Sergio Marchionne and a host of other officials expected to attend. The Grand Cherokee will start at $30,995 for two-wheel-powered models and at $32,995 for four-wheel-drive versions.

The 2011 Grand Cherokee is completely redone, with more luxurious materials, an updated four-wheel-drive system and a slew of new, upscale features, including a panoramic sunroof. The Hemi V8 will be optional, and the Jeep will mark the debut of Chrysler's 3.6-liter Pentastar V6 that makes 290 hp. It also has new independent front and rear suspensions and a new body structure for increased torsional stiffness.
