The Car Guide rating 83%(view ratings)
The all-new Jeep Grand Cherokee has everything it needs to regain its rightful place – especially since last year’s introduction of the SRT8 and its 465 horses. The other trims include the Laredo, Limited and Overland, powered by a 290-hp V6 or a 360-hp V8. The Grand Cherokee is just as comfortable in the city as it is off the beaten track.
