Jeep Grand Cherokee Altitude 4WD vs Jeep Wrangler Freedom 4WD

When the Grand Cherokee was redesigned back in 2011, I spoke to some members of Jeep management. The term that stood out in their description of the Grand Cherokee was “American Range Rover.” But the Cherokee has a personality and charm that go well beyond the English sensibilities of the Range Rover. And to prove that point, look no further than the Grand Cherokee Trailhawk.

I’m not going to hide the fact that I like Jeeps. From the Wrangler that can pretty much go anywhere, and do it with the roof off, to the fourth-generation Grand Cherokee, it’s a brand that represents an American motoring ideal. Jeep's outstanding off-road capabilities plus its upscale interiors equates to a brand that has a long-running cachet in the minds of buyers. And the Grand Cherokee is the on-road/off-road range-topping vehicle in Jeep's lineup.
