Expert Review
4.22/5
The Jeep Grand Cherokee is the quintessential American luxury SUV—large, imposing, and dripping with swagger. It is for buyers who want a genuine alternative to the German big three, offering a unique blend of opulent comfort, serious off-road prowess, and a muscle-car attitude. This is the boss's SUV.
The 3.0-litre V6 or the range-topping 6.2-litre supercharged V8 (SRT/ Trackhawk) deliver breathtaking performance, with the latter offering supercar-slaying straight-line speed. The air suspension glides over any surface, soaking up bumps with regal indifference, while still managing body roll admirably for its size. The cabin is a palace of leather, wood, and screens, with acres of space for five and a boot that swallows everything. The 4x4 systems are legendary and can take you anywhere.
Who should buy it? High-net-worth individuals who want a powerful, luxurious, and imposing daily driver, large families who road-trip frequently, and enthusiasts who appreciate the sheer theatre of a thumping V8.
What will you bug you? The fuel consumption is eye-watering, especially with the V8. The sheer size makes city parking and narrow lane navigation a white-knuckle experience. The interior, while luxurious, isn't quite as polished or bespoke as a Range Rover, and the service network is limited compared to more mainstream luxury brands.
