"The Jeep Grand Cherokee is big, bold and characterful."
the Jeep Grand Cherokee, when a full-size SUV, with cars like the BMW X5 , Volvo XC0 and Audi Q7 competes. In contrast to these cars the Grand Cherokee is strictly a five-seater - there is no way to carry additional seats to seven. In fact, below the Grand Cherokee the same car as the Mercedes GLE-Class, which is also a five-seater
When you order a Grand Cherokee, there are two engines to choose from: a. 3.0- liter diesel and a 6.4-liter petrol. The petrol engine is - as you would expect given its size -. An expensive proposition, which is to the purchaser after a seriously fast SUV target, so that the diesel the default choice for the vast majority of buyers

Grand Cherokee on the road looks striking than many other cars, and it is also a capable off-roader than the vast majority of SUVs. Other benefits include a generous equipment list, a really great interior and positive reports from existing owners.
The Grand Cherokee predominant focus is on luxury and comfort, but as a driver involvement. While some that are setup prefer these buyers swung an SUV, which is from the Grand Cherokee are the BMW X5 more suitable.
If you lead in a sportier manner charms, check out the Land Rover Discovery, see, also. While it is for the imminent replacement by that discovery comes equipped with seven seats. It is at least as luxurious, spacious and capable off-road as Grand Cherokee - although it is more expensive to run than the diesel Cherokee.

MPG, Rates & CO2 runs

, the diesel engine could be more economical
a Grand Cherokee with a gasoline engine is best described as a completely different model to the standard diesel cars compared. the big 6.4-liter V8 petrol option adds £ 20,000 off the list price, while economy of 20.9mpg and CO2 emissions of 315g / km mean (to make road tax £ 515 per year), it will be more expensive than to run almost anything else on the road. We are not saying that there is no appeal, but few SUV customers are really after such a colossal powerful and thirsty engine
Due to the limited audience petrol engine, it is a shame that the only other engine choice - a . 3.0 diesel -litre - is no longer economical. This engine delivers 40.4mpg and emits 184g / km CO2, road tax make £ 210 per year. While these numbers are not catastrophic, they are off the pace compared to the Grand Cherokee rivals. The most economical BMW X5 (apart from the hybrid model) delivers 53.3mpg and costs £ 130 per year in road tax, for example.

Relaxing rather than driving exciting
the Jeep Grand Cherokee deliberately set up to comfort over outright handling is to prioritize, and that's not necessarily a bad thing. While some hanker for an SUV, which can be enjoyed on the twisting corners of a winding B road, looking for another cosseting ride. If you fall into this camp, call the Grand Cherokee can well.
in the street of the Grand Cherokee light steering and powerful make-diesel engine driving an effortless effort, while the eight-speed automatic transmission can be left in "Drive" and forgotten about, as it shifts smoothly through the gears. There is a fair bit of body lean during cornering, though, which means if you try to drive in a sporty manner, you may find that you and your passengers a bit of a daze travel.

of 3.0-liter diesel is strong enough, the Grand Cherokee from 0-62mph get 8.2 seconds and it is the only sensible choice of engine. The 6.4-liter V8 gasoline can be justified simply thirsty, even if it has an almost musical exhaust note and gives the Grand Cherokee with a open ridiculous turn of speed -. 0-62mph just five seconds with this engine takes
We advise you to avoid the entry-level Limited + model, as in all other orders (Overland, Summit and SRT) of the Grand Cherokee comes with an adjustable air suspension, that does a much better job of potholes and bumps as to absorb the default setup.
Despite some slight defects on the road, the Grand Cherokee certainly enormously location off the road. Jeep 4x4 expertise goes all the way back to World War II and the Grand Cherokee comes with a five-Offroad mode controller, so the car set up perfectly, depending on the terrain. While the Land Rover Discovery in a similar situation, there are few other cars can match the Grand Cherokee when it comes to off-road capabilities.

Interior & Comfort

The loud diesel engine from an otherwise enjoyable experience diminishes
the Grand Cherokee was a facelift in 2013, and brought the update thus an improvement of interior materials. As a result, the Grand Cherokee seats are comfortable and supportive, while the dashboard plastics more premium feel than before - even if they are not yet on the Audi or BMW standards are

to get comfortable is a breeze thanks to the sheer amount of space provides. While many cars come in this class with seven seats as standard, means that the Grand Cherokee scored five seat setup front and rear passengers Morning legroom and headroom. The panorama sunroof (standard on Overland, Summit and SRT cars), supplemented by now the high driving position and gives the Grand Cherokee a bright and spacious feel.
As we mentioned earlier, to avoid the standard suspension, if you can. Jeep charges about £ 3,500 from entry-level Limited + move Overland trim and adjustable suspension this (as well as some additional conveniences) make this example adds an upgraded. With the standard suspension, we found the Grand Cherokee occasionally uncomfortable on bad roads.
Assuming that you go for the air suspension, the only other thing that takes away some of the cosseting ride experience, is the diesel engine, which is a little too noisy at higher speeds and under acceleration.

practicality & trunk

A vast interior and trunk of the Grand Cherokee impressive functionality give
inside makes the Grand Cherokee good use of its large external dimensions. Front and rear passengers get really impressive legroom, while internal storage is taken care by a variety of cupholders, cubbies and door bins. It's a shame, though, that such a large car, although it is not the Grand Cherokee with seven seats available. Rivals like the Volvo XC0 and Audi Q7 with an extra pair of seats as standard, making them more practical than the Grand Cherokee.
The 782-liter luggage compartment via an electronically-opening tailgate is accessible and easily large enough for most families. There is also a retractable load cover valuables out of sight to hide while falling trunk to 1,554 liters, the rear seats provides grow.

How many cars of this size, Parking can be difficult and some tight spots are simply no longer be accessed. All Grand Cherokee come with a rear view camera, though, so if you have found a place in always relatively easily.

reliability and safety

Positive Reports of owners, but a four-star safety rating is not competitive
Jeep have a good year in our 2016 driver Power customer satisfaction survey. The brand came 11th of 32 manufacturers, placing it on Audi, BMW and Mercedes. The Grand Cherokee, now in ninth place out of 150 models indicating owners and their cars are very satisfied. High values of the performance, functionality, comfort and in-car technology impress, although caution. The Grand Cherokee was the 102nd for reliability, while Jeep came as brand second in this area from the bottom
The Grand Cherokee won four out of five stars in Euro NCAP crash tests drive. Compare that. With the five-star rating for the Volvo XC0, Audi Q7 and Mercedes GLE-class and it is clear that the Grand Cherokee is a little off the pace The big Jeep scored poorly (45%) in control tests pedestrians, while a 69% child occupant safety review is appropriate, and not exceptional.

price, price-performance ratio and options

Generous standard equipment, but can be a concern second-hand values
The Jeep Grand Cherokee is undoubtedly a well-equipped car. All models are equipped with LED running lights, electrically adjustable leather seats (heated front and rear), 20-inch alloy wheels, a heated steering wheel and Navi. Note that the entry-level Laredo and Limited trims are no longer offered, while the SRT trim is reserved for the 6.4-liter gasoline engine.

You should also be aware that the Grand Cherokee money loses very fast, especially when compared to cars like the BMW X5 and Audi Q7. This may be good news for second-hand buyers, but those who bought new can be disappointed when it's time to trade in or sell.
Research that helps
