I drove this car back to a dealership to help out a collegue who borrowed it for a week-end. I immediately fell in love with the 2.7L 5-cilinder Mercedes Benz turbodiesel powerplant under the bonnet. It's lowdown grunty roar sounds very good (for a diesel, 5-cilinder petrol engines sound even better). It has a lot of character, but also power and couple. It had no difficulty to move this tractor around town (yes, the preferred habitat of the SUV) at inspiring speeds. The automatic gearbox goes very well together with the engine. The seats are a bit too wide for an average European (1m80, 75kg), and with the all leather interior, you feel lucky the car doesn't corner that fast that you start sliding from one end to another in the driver's seat. The ride is comfortable, although you feel this car was originally designed to be robust and conquer any kind of road (even non-existing ones),... except for paved roads. It's far from perfect, but I love it anyway.

Decent exceleration with the V-8. Nice interior. Tight turning radius. Very good off road performance. The ride is pretty good for a vehicle with solid front and rear axcles. minimul body lean during cornering. This vehicle is rugged enough to go anywhere and still look good enough for a night on the town.

like everything about it. its a fun family jeep love the way it drives and I feel very safe behind the wheel of a jeep grand cherokee and its not bad on gas too put some HID lights on one and it looks pretty mean looking

Fuel thirsty 2.7CRD - but great for the horses!!!

Cant fault this really, bit of a gas guzzler but a real head turner with the subtle bits of crome and super throaty engine.
