Reviews of Grand Cherokee (diesel):

Externally, the car is very stylish, powerful, and masculine. In the parking lot and on the road, it dominates the rest of the cars. The salon is quite roomy, especially for the first row of seats, which can easily accommodate a tall and broad-shouldered passenger and driver, without interfering with each other. There are fewer places behind, people will have to make room if they want to accommodate the three of them.

As well as the SUV follows, the Grand Cherokee has a good passableness - quietly travels along washed roads, sand, snow, water obstacles, jokingly overcomes curbs, pits and irregularities on the road, which is also facilitated by high ground clearance. The model is quite powerful, even with the 3.0 engine, quickly accelerates, maneuverable, despite its impressive overall dimensions and weight. Big plus car Grand Cherokee - this is his trunk. Even in the folded state, a pile of things is placed in it, including purchases from the store, a stroller, and travel accessories. If you transform the interior and remove the rear seats, the trunk increases by more than two times. In this position it is possible to transport both large-sized cargo and household appliances.

There is a car Grand Cherokee and a number of cons. First of all, they include a large fuel consumption, which, when driving fast in a city, often exceeds 21 liters. Complaints often come also to cheap hard plastic in the cabin, which often creaks. Also, the owners mention the wide front pillars and large rear headrests that limit the visibility.
